Some people are losers?

In Mary kay no one forces you to order what you dont want?

Mather, you reveal a lot about the real MK sales mentality. Pretend you care about helping women. Pump them up saying anyone can do it. Sell them as much as possible before they catch on. Then call them losers if and when they fail.

Funny how you don’t criticize the person or co. that took her $4,000. That’s professional courtesy – shark to shark – I’m sure.

Some people are losers who wants to blame others when things dont work out. Why would you order for $4000.00 when you are not sure what you are doing.

In Mary kay no one forces you to order what you dont want, this is your own business never allow other people to run your show. I Have been doing Mary Kay for 3 years now and its great I love it the money is just awesome 50% commission is a blast. I am in charge of my business. Dont lesten to losers and negative comments, go to the marykay website

One trip to “Seminar” was enough for me to get out. It’s a ridiculous parade of phony women wearing wayyy too much make-up & f-ugly evening gowns. It’s MK’s Annual Beauty Pageant. But it’s good to go as a newbie. You should go. It will really open your eyes to just how unrealistic the goals really are and clearly exhibits that the people at the Top will always be the people at the Top. And that you will not be one of them. MK BLESSED? No, honey – you’re confusing “blessed” with being a hypocritical, conservative, right-wing cosmetic company. that has found a loophole in the laws re: pyramid schemes and that’s the ONLY reason they’ve been around so long. Your one very simple statement anchored the whole “cult” discussion for everyone.

I think Mary Kay has wonderful products and is a wonderful company.

I am concerned however, about what appears to be a tendency to want the reps to heavily front load product. Let’s face it though, MK isn’t the only culprit of this. I got loaded down with excess inventory from another cosmetics company I joined. The key is to find a company that doesn’t require a huge amount of inventory or keep inexpensive samples around if you feel you really need to show the products.

Turning your living room or dining room into a “storehouse” only works when you know without a doubt that you will be able to move a huge amount of product.

Good luck to everyone in finding a company that works for you.

I am also a former Mary Kay consultant and placed 22 in Queens Court of Sales.

If you run MKay like a business with a business plan and do not fool yourself and overstock for your actual activity, you make money. Easy to be misdirected without a real plan.

I personally decided after years to promote products that are drop shipped and eliminate inventory. Juggling and try to push what doesn’t move got to me.

I also like the baby boomer market which is the biggest market ever. In fact I am in prelaunch and setting a few good leaders with Ageless by Rejuvenate Worldwide as we speak and the excitement is awesome but the investment is not a huge inventory.

Everyone needs to create a business plan, know why they are working and stay with their own passion.

Here’s to your success!!!!!!!!!

MKLifer:
I don’t think anyone doubts the Mary Kay company is blessed. It’s whether the women selling (or, rather, buying in the hopes of selling) are blessed is what’s in doubt.

How much of what is sold by MK is actually resold to end-user customers? How much is part of the failed investment by hopeful women hoping to be empowered?

Why doesn’t Mary Kay screen potential reps for sales ability prior to signing them up. As the MK mission is to empower women, aren’t they concerned about setting some women up for failure… and lowered self-esteem?

Are the women at pinktruth.org and http://somecallmeduh.wordpress.com/ upset because they are not blessed? Or did they lack faith?

I totally believe that everyone should have knowledge in money management. Everyone in the world (not just MK) dangles a carrot in front of your face to get more out of you. If you do not manage your money correctly and keep getting the carrots that you so badly want with money you don’t have then of course you are going to go broke. Mary Kay, like any other business, is a great business opportunity that gives people a chance to earn potentially alot of money. It also offers above many other businesses, I believe, a fun, rewarding, Christian atmosphere with women (if you are on the right team) who are inspiring, motivating, caring and helpful. This business is like any other in the fact that we are all humans. Not everyone “perfect” is going to join Mary Kay and so unfortunately there will be those who are greedy and just want you for “more money”. If people truly cared about other people and their success (like we do on our team) then they would be taught the right principals and money management. Mary Kay is a wonderful business that every woman deserves to at least hear about the opportunity and then make a knowlegable decision for themselves. I would suggest praying about it and let God guide you not only about business decisions but everything in your lives. Just because one person is not successful doesn’t mean someone else can’t be.

I believe many would benefit from a course in Money and Business Management before tyring to atttain directorship. If you do not make money as a consultant, you will not make money as a director.
