Southwestern Advantage: America's Oldest Direct Selling Company

-
Is Southwestern Advantage a pyramid scheme? Is Southwestern Advantage an MLM?
Many people mistakenly assume that direct selling is the same thing as multi-level marketing (MLM). Even worse – some confuse direct selling with illegal pyramid schemes. The fact is, they're extraordinarily different. Pyramid schemes are extremely rare, as they are quickly dismantled by law enforcement. In the past, pyramid schemes have tried masquerading as MLM or direct sales, which has caused confusion with many people. There are clear differences that we felt are important to share, because the spreading of misinformation helps no one. 
Southwestern Advantage is the oldest direct selling company in America. The focus of participants is on selling educational products directly to consumers without the expense of traditional advertising or a retail storefront. There are no recruiting requirements or start-up purchases. The profit participants make is the difference between wholesale and retail – the same as any small business owner.
We're incredibly proud of our program's 150+ year history, but we're even more proud to be associated with the young people who have the character it takes to participate. Misinformation is often shared online and in conversation – sometimes intentionally, just to create confusion. Below is additional information along with cited, credible sources.





Southwestern Advantage has testified in support of legislation against pyramid schemes. We will continue our efforts to educate consumers, and we stand with other member companies of the DSA who uphold their Code of Ethics.

What You Are Someday Going To Be, You Are Now Becoming

One of the most sobering thoughts I have been confronted with is, "What you are someday going to be, you are now becoming." You are now, this moment, exactly what you have been in the process of becoming all your life. Are you now the person you dreamed about becoming? If you had written down several years ago exactly the type of person you wanted to be today, what kind of person would you have described? How close are you to being that person now? What kind of person do you want to be a year from now? Or two years from now? Or five years from now? 10? 20? Right now you are in the process of becoming the person you will be a year, or two, or five, or 10 or 20 years from now.  The habits you have now will determine the kind of person you will become unless you change those habits now. What attitude would you like to have someday? The attitude you have now is a good indication of the attitude you will have someday, unless right now you begin to develop a new ...

Southwestern Advantage and COVID-19

-
Information below is also published at southwesternadvantage.com/covid19 Regarding COVID-19, Southwestern Advantage has taken extra steps to protect the safety and well-being of our staff, sales leaders, college and university students who sell Southwestern Global Academy and the families they serve. Every business in the country is affected in some way, and we are no different. We have been following CDC, Federal, and local government guidelines to protect those with connections or business interests of any and all types. This is our top priority. Despite all the nation (and world) has been through for the last several months, we’ve always believed there is an important line between thoughtful, constructive actions and fear-based paralysis. We have moved from Phase 1 of our summer sales and leadership program – done virtually using Zoom – to Phase 2 in which students have resumed serving families by going door-to-door in counties, cities, and municipalities that have re-opened for r...
