Ever thought about entering the world of direct sales? Why or why not? Entering this kind of industry can be quite daunting but how would you feel if you heard about all of its success stories? If you learned about the women who are thriving in the world of direct sales?
This episode’s guest, Theda Blackwood exemplifies what it means to be successful in the direct sales industry. Fueled by inspiration brought on by her mom, Theda has built three multi-million dollar businesses, the third, and most recent, being Theorem Method, a line of bespoke hair care products. Join us as we talk to Theda about her early aspirations, her experience on Broadway at an young age, the development of her career, and the most valuable lessons she’s learnt along the way.
“When you are buying products from a woman in this industry, you're helping put her kids through dance class, you're helping her, you know, maybe put gas in her car or food on her table.” - Theda Blackwood
