Conversations That Build Trust

card 01

Warm, human, and unhurried beats slick every time

for the marketer

Reply like a person, not a brochure. A genuine, friendly tone does more for trust than any perfectly polished script.

for the professional

Tone is the first thing a stranger reads in a DM, before content. Warm, plain, specific-to-them language signals a real person; copy-paste sales speak signals a bot.

Match what they actually asked before you offer anything

Keep it conversational — contractions, their name, no jargon

Answer the question first; the offer can come after

Pro tipGeneral best practice, not a SeneGence rule: there's no official script or tone policy to memorize — sound like a helpful person and you're ahead.

card 02

Disclose that you sell — before the pitch, not after

for the marketer

The moment a chat turns toward buying, make it clear you're the distributor. Say it before the ask, never once the sale's on the table.

for the professional

A DM that sells is doing selling work, so the disclosure red-line applies. Clarity comes before the pitch, so they weigh your pick knowing where it comes from.

DO: "Full disclosure — I'm a SeneGence distributor — here's my pick"
DON'T: Recommend hard, then reveal you sell it only if pressed
WHY: The FTC treats your seller tie as a material connection to make clear up front

Pro tipSourced (FTC): disclosure isn't public-post-only — a private message that sells carries the same duty.

card 03

Move it forward without inventing a rulebook

for the marketer

Ask one clear next question — a shade, a concern, a good time to talk. Gentle forward motion, no pressure, no made-up "policy."

for the professional

Advancing a chat is a craft, not a quota — offer a low-pressure next step and let them set the pace.

DO: Offer a real next step — "want me to match your shade?"
DON'T: Cite a response deadline or escalation "policy" as if it's official
WHY: SeneGence publishes no response SLA or escalation rule — inventing one and pinning it on the company is a fabrication

Pro tipSourced red-line: our sources hold no official conduct numbers. The SOP says reply promptly — treat that as the bar.

card 04

Boundaries keep you professional, not cold

for the marketer

You don't owe an instant reply at midnight. Clear, kind boundaries — reply hours, when to move to a call — protect you and the work.

for the professional

Set the terms of your availability rather than chasing every ping. Boundaries, stated kindly, read as more trustworthy — organized and real.

DO: Set your own reply hours; move complex issues to a call
DON'T: Promise round-the-clock availability you can't keep
WHY: An overpromised reply you miss hurts trust more than an honest "I'll reply tomorrow"

Pro tipGeneral best practice, not a SeneGence policy: choose boundaries you can hold — consistency builds trust, not constant availability.

card 05

Share their words as their story — with permission

for the marketer

Got a happy customer's message? Ask before you share it, and quote it as her experience — never as a promise to whoever reads it next.

for the professional

Testimonial etiquette carries into private chats: a customer's praise is real and worth sharing, but it stays hers and it stays permissioned.

DO: Ask first; keep it framed as one person's experience
DON'T: Reword it into a guarantee or drop "results vary"
WHY: A testimonial is one outcome, not a promise to the next buyer — the labeling rule holds in a DM as in a caption

Pro tipSourced: the testimonial red-line applies everywhere — the same labeling and appearance-only rules hold.
