Your Professional Profile

card 01

Your profile is the first thing people read about you

Your profile is the first thing people read about you

for the marketer

Before anyone sees a product, they see you — name, handle, one-line bio. Make those three say who you are and what you offer.

for the professional

A profile is small real estate doing a big job: it answers who is this, what do they sell, why trust them in the two seconds before a visitor follows or leaves.

Think in three slots — name, handle, bio line — each one working, none wasted on an inside joke a stranger can't decode.

Pro tipGeneral best practice, not a SeneGence rule: a searchable name plus a plain handle beats a clever one nobody can spell.

card 02

Say you're a distributor — in the bio, not just the fine print

Say you're a distributor — in the bio, not just the fine print

for the marketer

Put your seller status where anyone can see it: "Independent SeneGence Distributor" belongs in the bio, not buried three posts deep.

for the professional

The disclosure red-line starts at the profile: a visitor should tell at a glance it's a distributor's page, not an unaffiliated fan.

DO
Put "Independent SeneGence Distributor" in the bio
DON'T
Imply you're a neutral reviewer of what you sell
WHY
The FTC treats an unclear seller tie as a material connection to disclose up front
Pro tipSourced (FTC): disclosure is standing guidance — an undisclosed sell carries per-post exposure.

card 03

The link in your bio should go somewhere honest

The link in your bio should go somewhere honest

for the marketer

One clear link, one clear destination. If it sells, let the page it opens look like a seller's page — no bait, no surprise.

for the professional

The single bio link is the one place a platform lets you send traffic, so it should behave: it opens a page that matches the profile's promise and carries the same disclosure.

Point it at your actual shop or ordering page, not a decoy
Make sure that page also identifies you as a distributor
Keep it current — a dead or off-brand link reads as careless
Pro tipGeneral best practice: consistency between bio, link, and destination is what makes a profile feel trustworthy.

card 04

Look like one account, not five different people

Look like one account, not five different people

for the marketer

Same name, same photo, same vibe across every platform. A consistent look makes you easy to recognize and easy to trust.

for the professional

When your handle, photo, and tone match across platforms, a customer who finds you on one app instantly recognizes you on another.

DO
Reuse the same clear headshot and handle everywhere
DON'T
Mix a polished account here, an anonymous one there
WHY
Recognition builds trust; a scattered identity makes people wonder which account is really you
Pro tipGeneral best practice, not a SeneGence policy: pick your look once and hold it steady — reinventing your brand resets recognition.

card 05

A bio is a promise you can keep — not a claim you can't

A bio is a promise you can keep — not a claim you can't

for the marketer

Describe what you do — "I help you find your shade" — not what a product will cure. Your bio sells you, not a medical outcome.

for the professional

The appearance-only rule that governs your posts governs your bio too. Describing how you help never crosses the line; promising what a product does to the body does.

DO
"Helping you find long-wear color you love"
DON'T
"Erase wrinkles / heal your skin"
WHY
Cosmetics speak to appearance; disease or body-function language is a drug claim
Pro tipSourced: our guidance frames every benefit as the appearance of a result — a bio meets the same standard as a caption.
