We’re smack dab in the middle of a busy holiday season. Direct sellers everywhere are displaying their wares at vendor events and home parties across the country. Independent consultants set up tables loaded with cash and carry items, hopeful to find customers who are looking for unique Christmas presents, home décor, or a business opportunity.

- Don’t brag about the day’s sales. All too often I have heard other vendors ask each other at the end of an event, “How’d you do today?” Some of the responses I’ve overheard include: “Fantastic!” or “I sold about $700”. Okay good for you; but you basically just told strangers that you have a wad of cash. Just in case someone was looking to rob a vendor on the way out, you’d be a great target.
