Carolyn Perkins knew she was working for a female-owned business when she got a corporate reminder to wear red lipstick for the holiday season.
As a sales representative for catalog-based Silpada Designs, Perkins also doesn’t leave her house in Pontotoc without wearing 10 pieces of jewelry.
It’s a new way of life for Perkins, who was working for Mossy Oak this time last year. In fact, she said the feminine jewelry company appealed to her after “working in a man’s world of camouflage.”
“When you are really young in your career, climbing the corporate ladder is what you are all about,” she said. “But now that I’m older, I want to climb my own ladder.”

Have you reviewed TEAMCCM yet? I’m interested in your take on the deal. I’ve asked many folks to shoot holes in their business, and no one has been able to. Thanks for any input you can provide!
