Direct Sales Success Refresh

It's a week later and I am still feeling this event. On March 4, 5, and 6th, I attended a virtual educational event put together by my Compass sister, British Hill, who is a fabulous person. This was one of the best events that I have attended in some time. Especially because it was all done in my pajamas.

On the 4th was the Mixer. We got to meet many of the ladies attending the event. We were placed in breakouts throughout the evening so that we could get to know everyone. There were women from all around the country. What a party.
