Mary Kay on Earnings Representations
Mary Kay Inc. attempts to cover itself on the issue of earnings… often inflated during recruiting pitches and guest events.

Mary Kay sales directors parade around “high checks” and imply that those are normal checks.

They conveniently forget to mention business expenses when talking about commission checks and 1099s.
Mary Kay Inc. is doing a great job of covering itself by telling consultants and directors to be truthful in their earnings representations. The unfortunate thing is that Darrell and gang know that the misrepresentations happen all the time, and Mary Kay Inc. is the beneficiary of those untruths. From the June issue of Applause magazine:
