This week, Dana Roefer joined us on the Modern Direct Seller Podcast to chat not about being a social seller, but about being an advocate for the channel. She’s seen firsthand how intentionally shopping small benefits both seller and consumer, forms a system of personalized support, and aligns our dollars with our values, and she knows that there’s opportunity across the industry to share those ideals. Building a successful direct sales community starts with the way we shop, and Dana is here to show us how those connections are created!
