Cris is one of your first year salesmen. I feel compelled to write and tell you that this summer’s experience is absolutely he most important thing he has ever done. It will be one of those formative milestones we look back on once we get older. Cris, while never truly troubled, was troublesome as a [...]
Last summer, when my little boy left for Indiana to sell books for your company, I was worried.

Jason has been so pleased with his experience with Southwestern and is looking forward to going back next summer. He will also try to recruit as well. We are so proud of him and all his accomplishments. Thank you for running such a top notch company!

It is difficult to describe…..actually, it’s a pleasure to describe the extraordinary differences that fifteen weeks “on the road” with SW made in our daughter’s life. She learned to run her own business, and to manage its financial aspects responsibly and independently. Inventory, budgeting, ordering, distribution, and projected earnings became part of her every day [...]
