Advice for a Mary Kay DIQ?
A Mary Kay DIQ wrote seeking advice on becoming an ethical Sales Director in MK:
I found your site on accident over a year ago when I began my business. I pop in occasionally just out of curiosity to see what is being said. While I disagree with a lot of the points that are made, I can identify with the emotion and hurt that are behind those defenses.
I am currently in my 2nd month of DIQ and am working on finishing my 3rd month of car qualification, and while this is a really exciting time, I am not completely happy with the way I am being taught to do things. I.e: get production from recruiting new consultants who purchase large amounts of inventory (rather than train my current team to sell the product and consistently have a legitimate need to reorder product), put inventory orders and starter kits on my OWN credit card and have them pay me later, expect my husband to cook/clean/do laundry when I am fully capable of doing at least part if not all of that, guilt my best friends into joining by telling them I NEED them to or they aren’t my real friend, etc.
I have never had a problem with selling the product, and consistently sell $1800-$2000 every month, and I truly enjoy meeting new people at the appointments I hold. Where I am starting to lose my enthusiasm though, is in the tactics I have been taught to get orders out at the last of the month. Like offering outrageous ‘incentives.” Shouldn’t 50% profit be a good enough incentive?
I am writing because I do feel that I would make a great SALES director, but with what I have been taught so far in DIQ from my soon-to-be-senior, I can see why you all here had such a bad taste in your mouth. So I am writing to ask, what tips would you have for me to actually be an ethical, respectable, and relatable Sales Director as opposed to what is apparently and unfortunately the ‘norm’? I will not turn into what I have been seeing lately as that is against all I stand for.
Thank you for your input!

I think the way you signed is very telling: “Don’t want to be a DIQuitter”
If you want to do this ethically, you’re going to have to hold all of your standards above your desire to not be a quitter.
But remember too, that the idea of not “being a quitter” is a strong motivator, and that’s one of the reasons so many people throw their moral codes out the window when crunch time comes. The way that’s phrased makes it sound pretty much like it’s part of your identity, and I think that’s intentional – if “quitting” earns you a particularly negative label of identity, then it’s an even stronger motivator to keep you in and keep you ordering.
Just remember – you can quit without BEING a quitter. Leaving an organization for ethical reasons does NOT earn you the negative stigma of “being a quitter” in the real world, nor does it reflect negatively on your abilities, work ethic, or character, so don’t let a potential label color your decision-making process.
Best of luck as you work through this!

You’re starting to see the bigger picture now. This is exactly where the fog started to lift for me as well – when I was in DIQ. Life won’t get easier for you as a director, can you not see the hampster wheel starting up with the endless burning and churning of recruits? That’s where the money is in MK, with new recruits and inventory orders.
Reading the director stories on this site will only confirm the suspicions you already have. Directors that have tried to do things ethically and based on sales have lost their units time and time again. It’s all documented on this site.

If you really enjoy sales and are good at it, leave MK and get a real sales job. You’ll be WAY better off and have more money in your wallet without the MK lies, manipulation and teen-drama.

I feel for you. I signed up as a consultant in April of this year under a lady that is in DIQ right now. The only advice/training I received was get some of your friends to join and buy inventory (at least $1,800 worth). The DIQ and Senior suggested I apply for the MK credit card. I was not accepted. I didn’t have room on my credit card. They suggested a bank loan. When I refused all of these ideas the Senior suggested I sell “gift certificates” to buy my inventory. Mind you-not hold the gift certificates in trust like you should-purchase inventory. This really upset me. During this time I found this website. and low and behold everything I went through was detailed here. I stopped answering their calls and emails. I finally accepted the DIQ’s friend request on FB. Now she is after me to have a MK party. I guess she has given up on me as a consultant and is after me as a booking/customer. I have watched her on this hampster wheel the last couple of months. I actually feel for her. Her Senior has talked her into doing MK as a full time job. I know from reading this site she in for a rough ride. She actually told me that she keeps $4,000 in inventory. In May she purchased $2,400 in product. I don’t think she is selling all of this. I think she is on the financial pit fall of so many DIQ’s before her. In spite of all this I really like the products and continue to use them; but I hate the way things are set up. It is almost like you have a load of bricks on you coming out of the gate. You have to come up with $400 retail for your first order to get your discount and make any money. I think you are hog tied from the start. It is really unfortunate that the company is structured the way it is. It is geared so that the hampsters must consistantly churn. Once you reach a goal you have to kill yourself to stay there and climb higher. I respect your values and hope you find a way to complete DIQ and remain a Director without using any of these tactics; but I think it is almost impossible.

I think you already know the answer to your question. It will be impossible to be ethical and move up the ladder in MK. DIQ will not end when you become a director. Like cdnxmk stated, you are on an endless hampter wheel burning and churning recruits. Everyone under you will not be able to make $1800-$2000 dollars a month consistently. Let’s face it, you won’t either. You’re burn through your customer base in order to replace your old recruits. Not to mention the market satuation, the competition from make-up providers like ULTA, Sephora, and the numerous makeup aisles at Target and Walmart.
Don’t kid yourself, there is no ethical way to make a sustainable living in MK. I can’t imagine anyone on this site who would encourage you to stay in a preditory company like MK. Whether you take the advice here or not, you are already seeing the lies, half truths, and manipulation. Why else would you peek here at this site. Thankfully, the the fog is lifting and the stories here on this site is conformation to the answers you already suspect. Get out for your on sake. Oh, and if you do decide to call it quits, sit back and witness how those ‘good ole friends” you made in MK treat you as if you were diagnosed with the ebola virus. It’s happened to almost everyone here. No worries, you will have a place here to share your story. Good Luck

We all tried being “ethical” directors and it doesn’t work because that’s not where the money is in an MLM. Being ethical would be telling your unit not to order anything that isn’t needed, and to concentrate on selling product instead of recruiting, but that’s not where the NSDs and directors make their commissions, is it? Why do you think MK doesn’t track actual sales to customers? Because their “customer” is the ordering consultants. They couldn’t care less what gets sold after it leaves their warehouse, MK already KNOWS most of it will sit on shelves in basements and home offices, so they focus on the new consultants orders because they also already know that that is the largest order most consultants will ever make.
To answer your question, yes, a 50% discount SHOULD be enough incentive to get someone to join or place another order. But MK already knows that most consultants can’t get rid of what they already have at retail. So it’s hardly a 50% discount, especially after expenses are deducted. If you are really selling 1800 to 2000 a month, you are in a very small minority, so getting consultants excited to place another order they don’t really need is no small task.
The focus is on recruiting because there is such a huge constant turnover in MK and because they KNOW that there isn’t enough “real” purchasing customers to warrant the massive amount of ordering every month by consultants. Really, why should anyone buy anything at full price when they can go to the secondary market? There would BE no secondary market if the product really did “fly off the shelves”.
Keep reading.

You are an honorable woman. You don’t have a chance of remaining that way in Mary Kay because you are under their umbrella and will have to attend company functions. I suggest you take what you have learned, use your selling skills and open your own company where you can control the climate and integrity of your organization.
Trying to be the good apple in a barrel of rotten apples, well, you get the drift. Never knew an apple that could resist the close proximity of the disease, or wanted to remain affiliated with a barrel of bad reputation. The good apple nevers restores the bad ones to health.

The lies and deception won’t stop. Listen to your gut! If you don’t like what you are being told/taught, what makes you think it will be any different when you’re a SD?
Believe me– it will be much better to stop now before you completely lose yourself.
I loved selling before becoming a SD– once you become a SD, your focus changes and you won’t be selling– you’ll be trying to keep recruiting to move others up– repeating the same behaviors you’re experiencing now.
Keep coming back– we will be honest with you.

You know … quitting is not a bad thing. The Donner party didn’t quit, and look what happened to them!
There are some very famous quitters:
Bill Gates quit college and started Microsoft.
Albert Einstein quit the Swiss patent office.
Harrison Ford quit acting to work as a cabinetmaker … and then he quit cabinetmaking to make American Graffiti.
Rod Stewart quit pro soccer to try recording.
Pat Tillman quit pro football to join the US army.
Mary Kay Ash quit … several companies, including the one she was in before she founded Mary Kay Cosmetics.

It took me nine and a half years ( eight as a Director, five of which I was a SD) to get the courAge to say “enough”. Fortunately, I walked away with integrity in that I never used the tactics being pushed. I still have one of my recruits who I purchase my product. She has a wonderful customer base and sells the product like you do. Listen to your gut! Ignore the Directors and just keep yourself happy selling. Whatever you do, don’t let your Director get into your customer base! Talk about losing friends!

I have to agree.
After being on the mary kay track for 8+ years, it finally hit me.
I have lost many friends, family and now my husband has filed for divorce.

Ive been a director, a earned the free car and NOTHING could replace what has been lost.

Dear Ethical DIQ,
Before you get into your third month as DIQ, it’s time to pause and think about where your Director’s Monthly Production money is going to come from after this third month is over.
Write down the dollar amount you’ll be expected to “produce” every month from now on (well, in alternate months, anyway). Is it $4000? Is it higher because you’re including a pink car?
You were selling $1800-$2000 a month before DIQ. How many of those customers became your recruits? You won’t be getting that $1800-$2000 a month from personal sales any more, ever, because they’re all buying the products for themselves now. The most you’ll get from your former customers-turned-recruits is a Director’s commission.
Write down the new amount you expect to sell every month to the customers you didn’t recruit.
The difference is the amount you have to persuade your recruits to order. Write down their names. Ask yourself whether they’re just “personal use” or whether they have a chance at consistently selling enough each month to their customers so they can stay “active.”
How much have they produced so far? If they had a good event, have they been able to repeat their results more than once? Have any of your recruits gone beyond their immediate family and friends? Once they do, their income-per-party drops dramatically.
The real question is not “how many people do I have to recruit to make MK unit member headcount minimums?” The real question is “how many people to I have to recruit to make monthly ‘production’ minimums?” If you’re only recruiting people who can consistently sell, your headcount will need to be a lot higher or you’ll lose your directorship.
Food for thought:

I’m the one who wrote in for this. Thank you all so much for your advice and support. I have just about had enough….my director, who by the way is “so close” to earning her Caddy (I don’t think $38,000 away is “close”, but hey) contacted me today to ask who I knew that could sign an agreement AND come in with a qualifying order TODAY so that “I could make production.” Yeah right. She could care less about me getting a car and becoming a director/taking her unit members away. She even suggested BY NAME, my mother, my aunt, and my mother-in-law and that she knew that they would do it for me. Umm….excuse me?! She wants me to ask my closest family members to pay for a starter kit and $600 in inventory at the drop of a hat? No. I know what I need to do from here. Thank you all so much.

Good for you! I was a director for three years… three very long, hard years. Run right now. It’s perfectly fine to quit a job (not that mk is a real job) that doesn’t suit you, doesn’t meet your needs, or encourages you to work in the realm of lies and deception.

Why are people ALWAYS finding us by accident?? Its no accident folks! Trust me, we know. Also, why do you need to put ethical in front of director? That should be a huge clue if you need that separate distinction. Sit down, take a look at your numbers, understand this DIQ push NEVER ends. You have to keep churnin em and they will keep burnin as well. Do you have a customer base? Service that, see if you are making bucks they promise because you wont make it climbing the greasy MK ladder.

When I first heard the marketing plan, two thoughts came to mind:
1.) Pyramid Scheme
2.) If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
Which are the two questions I asked my recruiter when she followed up with me right after the call. Of course she fed me a bunch of bunk to overcome those objections but something was still nagging me which is why I (and why alot people) type into google “negative Mary Kay” and viola up comes Pink Truth.
This is never by accident, its because you feel uneasy from the start and so to feel like you are doing your due diligence before signing the agreement one does a quick search on the internet.

didpink- I agree. Finding us is no accident. As well as the ever-ongoing DIQ cycle. I was told by my SD that I would never work as hard as I would to get through DIQ. That is a bold faced lie. I worked harder to maintain my directorship than I ever did getting through DIQ.
Also, I would have categorized myself as an ethical director- however, I did on occasion do the Dialing for Dollars, the made up contests to keep people ordering, etc. Once you get there, you think “Gosh, I’ve worked so hard to get here, there is no way I’m going to let it all slip away because of a few (insert hundred, or thousand) dollars. It will all wash out next month”. But in reality, it never does.
A big caution to you miss DIQ – once you get on the hampster wheel of hell, it’s not easy to get off. I’m sharing from my own personal experience – and yes, it was hell.

oneless is right. We all start out as “ethical” directors…you really have to understand the slippery slope of rationalization that you are perched upon. It is this very thing that is exploited!
Its month three…you have 15 active, and only 3100.00 in production. You will be TOLD that “its up to you”….BUT….”I wouldn’t let 3 months done slip thru my fingers…you are so close! ”
After having gone thru 3 months of hunting the earth for recruits, not seeing your family, holding appointments, being disappointed on no shows, probably kicking in a few thousand yourself already to production…are you really going to say, NOPE…it’s okay if I start over.
Really? Yet many of us did. And when we had done that 2 or 3 times…the idea to just “get it done” was too strong. And that’s when we humiliated ourselves begging for any customer to sign up…any acquaintance…any relative…and if we were “short”…we were URGED to “find a way or make a way”.
And now. Now you are in “the club”. Its the “wink wink” club of women who secretly know how they did it but would never express that truth in public, and instead, give glowing speeches about the MIRACLE that occurred or the “hard work” that happened or the “Selling our hearts out to the last minute” story of success, while, back home, they are buried to the neck in credit card debt, secrets, utterly sick inside as they now contemplate how to pay for the SUIT and DIT week.
And to prove it, can I have a BTDT (been there done that) from other former on targets, DIQ’ s and Directors reading this right now? I’d love to see how many of us can validate this scenario.

“you really have to understand the slippery slope of rationalization that you are perched upon.” What a true statement Raisinberry! We don’t even see it. By the time we reach DIQ, it is so ingrained in us that we constantly try to rationalize everything – even though our conscience (that strong little voice inside) tells us it’s blatantly wrong. Women don’t find this site by accident, it is definitely by divine intervention.

Raisin- Although the most I ever had in debt was 2k and paid it off with my inventory return, I completely agree. I have seen it as an “insider” (aka director)
A few important points I need to make :
1- If you need to order extra as a diq to make your goal.. what are you planning to do when you are a director and about to lose your unit? Are you going to look like a loser in front of your peers? NO! you will order $1200 wholelsale to keep your minimum $4k production. Afterall, a director that failed is worse than any other swear word in mk. So ask yourself this… If I make it… then what? You are forever stuck in the wheel until you decide to retire if you dont want to look like a quitter. You will NEVER get paid maternity leave or paid vacation, you will ALWAYS and FOREVER be held accountable for your minimum wholesale requrement. (i personally experienced this as a director, and I know a fellow director who was forced to step down due to her father’s death and not making production during a time of mourning)
2- Remember those unethical things your senior director did? You are perpetuating that lie by your “success”. You say you want to be ethical? I bet you cannot even name 10 people in mk (out of the 1.5 million consultants in the us) that have truly lived the sell first order later principal.
3- Look at your paycheck as a director… How much are you profiting after expenses ?(you know you don’t follow 40/60 so don’t lie to yourself) How much are you making per year? How many girls in your mary kay unit are making more than you? (none) How many directors and their units do you know are making less than you? What percentage of mk directors do you think actually make consistant” big girl “pay (not expired top check) ? What percentage of consultants make” big girl “pay? Based on that percentage and the knowledge of their lack of sales and debt, is this a dream you want to spend your life selling??
4- Look at your national sales director newsletter and other national newsletters where it shows the director production reports. Or listen to the line up at the monthly national meeting. How many of them are honest about their income in real life to their consultants? I know for a fact that as directors we were trained to appear to have it all look perfect. We were trained on walking into events and meetings looking collected and put together. We were trained about keeping our negativity turned off so that we keep our unit wanting our position. Here is the BIG secret… directors don’t usuallly tell eachother either. They are all miserable. We thought we were the only ones suffering and pretending.. (talk about a blow to the ol’ self esteem) But the nationals know this dark secret when they look at their statements.
Hope I gave you something to think about.

Yep! Been there, done that.
As a former director I can attest to what raisinberry and oneless are saying. The almost immediate shock after finishing DIQ was the realization that there is no “Big Girls Club”. They lied! (imagine that) Instead what you will see is glazed over women who can’t even think straight. Women clawing and grasping and never resting. I knew I would never be out of DIQ mode, I mean NEVER!
I brought in 6 team members the last three days of DIQ. Those three days were fraught with so much stress that it’s impossible to explain. It honestly makes me sick to remember it. Those 6 came in with a $200 and never placed another order. They saw the scam for what it was and made a hasty exit. I begged and they borrowed to make my “dream” happen. Then they fell off the map. The sad thing is, I was so stressed I couldn’t even raise the emotion to care. Isn’t that sad?
DIQ is hell on a stick! My mind has to shut down out of self protection. It was that bad. Trust me, it was that bad…..

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the above post but was hoping someone could help me….
I have so much inventory left over but I don’t think I can send the inventory back because it has been awhile since I put in my last order (July 2010). However, I was wondering if it made sense to purchase $200 now so that I am active again just for the very reason to return all of it. Would this work?
I have sent an email to all my old customers saying I had some stuff that I would like to sell but low and behold not one person emailed me back

When you’re stuck with unsaleable inventory which you can’t return, one thing you CAN do is tell Mary Kay to refund that double payment of sales tax you gave them.
If you bought inventory for $2000 wholesale, they charged you sales tax on $4000. That was all part of the set-up to make you believe you could sell it and get “suggested retail price.”
At this point you’ll never get “suggested retail price.” If you even sell it for what you paid you’ll be lucky. Mary Kay is required to refund overpaid sales tax back to you if you claim it, but they’ll never volunteer to do so. So tell Mary Kay to refund the extra tax money. It’s yours.

On the subject of inventory returns. Re-signing will not make you eligible to return anything. The amount of product you can return is equivalent to the amount you have ordered in the previous 12 months. Since you have not ordered since July of 2010, you are not eligible to return anything. There are, however, some liquidators that will take the product off your hands for you. You’ll make about 50% of your wholesale amount but at least it’s something and you won’t have all that product laying around.

I am one of the few that can say I really did find it by accident. I googled the name of a top director to see if she had a website. One of the top listings on google for her was “Mary Kay Sucks” back when it was called MKS. I wasn’t looking for negative info. In fact, quite the opposite. However, it was because of MKS that I got out of MK over 6 years ago. Best decision I ever made. I wouldn’t be starting graduate school on Monday had I stayed in.

Miss DIQ, why would you want to invest your time in a goal that is on record to be 99% failure rate? It is a fact.

advertisingchick- What you are eligable to return is a rolling year, so placing a 200 order will just give you the option the return an additional 200 (the new stuff).
June first – june first all orders within that time frame but you must call the return dept asap.
I would like to suggest to you to return all your old product to the exchange dept for newer stuff. There is no rule that says you can’t sell it to a family member for less than suggested retail (1cent) and the return policy does not give a maximum $ you can return. Just a thought…..

I also truly found this website by accident. I used the Timewise cleanser and moisturizer and my face developed this hard dry patch. I google something like “Mary Kay too harsh” and pink truth was the first site. I have been lurking a looooong time since then and this is the first time I posted. I guess I still feel a lot of resentment towards the company and towards myself for being so stupid. All of the scripts posted on here: “you won a free facial for you and 6 friends”, “my sales director has challenged me to bring a guest to the next meeting, pleeeeease help me meet her challenge” I fell for, hook, line and sinker! I told my recruiter I was worried about how I would pay for my wedding since my husband (then fiance) and I were both students and paying for the wedding ourselves. She exploited that fear and painted this dream that I could easily make $5000 before the wedding day if I worked hard. My husband is a die-hard skeptic and wanted nothing to do with it, but my brain was clouded by this dream wedding and dream life we could have. Mary Kay nearly ruined my marriage before it even began…See, this is why I haven’t posted before because I am getting sick to my stomach writing this and I have to stop. Sorry to cut off so abruptly.

People are not losers for quitting something that was misrepresented to them in the first place. Every smart and successful person has quit something as they received new information. Business men and women sell stocks, businesses, and other interests when they fail to justify their worth. It’s called running a REAL business. It’s a SMART person that knows when to cut their losses.

Ya know job4, I really appreciate your comment.
I can not being to tell ya how many times I was told, then parroted the words, to myself and others, short term sacrifice for long term gain. Give up a day at the beach for a beach house.
I bought into the brainwashing malarkey hook line and sinker.
MKC withheld important information from me. I was willing to make these sacrifice for gain.
I called and asked, how many consultants are in my area?
A very important bit of information before an investment in time and money. I was denied that answer with, we do not give that information out.
I was thinking! I was on the right track. But didn’t have the savvy to recognize it. I really wanted this mk thing to work for me. It took me 27 years to realize to cut my losses. I had a lot of losses.
I am not a quitter. At this moment I am smarter than ever.

Ashley, you just call the company on Monday and get your product repurchase form mailed to you, pack it all up (inventoried and listed) and send the crap back. You can also look at and use the form on this site, but they will now make you transfer the info to their form. Guess they’re tired of getting OURS in the boxes! MK will send you 90% of the wholesale, with bonus product and any prizes deducted.

Success In MLM Why 98% Struggle Even Fail
All the top network marketing leaders have their reasons why people struggle in network marketing. Why over 98% fail to achieve success in MLM?
The 3 reasons why people struggle, even fail in MLM.
Reason #1 98% aren’t having success in MLM – You have to talk people into buying a product or service they aren’t already buying.
This is where it starts, most people get into a home based business to make money, not necessarily because of the product. Plus, network marketing products are usually niche products that require some serious selling to convince others why they should use it over a competitors product.
Your cash flow will see heights never imagined, and so will those on your team.
Reason #2 success in MLM has eluded over 98% – The dreaded monthly ordering or unit production.
Yikes! Even if you manage to talk a few people into buying the product, even though they probably didn’t want or need it anyway, now they have to buy it month after month, whether they want to or not, so they stay qualified for commissions.
This problem leads right into reason #3, again most of you got into this business to make money right? For most people it takes months, sometimes years to develop the skills it takes to build a successful network marketing business. While you or your newest team member are learning those skills you have that $200 minimum nagging at your bank account every other month. Again, Yikes! No wonder so many are failing right?
It’s quite SHOCKING no one has thought of this before.
Reason #3 Success with Network Marketing will never happen for over 98% – The Attrition, people are dropping out as fast as they come in
This is the #1 killer of the walk away income dream. Sure if you’re a super star you can build a big enough network that you can walk away for a while. But true walk away income is not possible for most people in network marketing, because there is and always will be people that come in, can’t sponsor anyone, and drop out. Then the person above them is earning less than the month before and they drop out. So the person above them is now not earning enough to cover their product costs either, and they drop out too.
You have to keep building and rebuilding to maintain your income, it’s just the way it is.
Want to end the struggle TODAY? Request your return Mary Kay inventory form. Stop recruiting! Only order what you sell and let Mary Kay warehouse keep your inventory on their shelves. Don’t win a free car to make monthly payments, or become a quarterly Star Consultant for a cheap trinket that you can buy if you really sold the products. Get off the pink hamster of DIQ and a Director NOW!!!!!!!
It’s Stressful! Meaningless! Holds No Value! along with Devastating Debts in your future!!!!

Everybody’s comments on this post have been outstanding, but I just wanted to join Oney in congratulating “Don’t want to be a DIQuitter,” who did in fact quit on Thursday, May 31 (and posted the news as DIQuit). DIQuit, you done good, here.
We understand how tough it is to make that decision, and how liberating it is once you’ve made it. Please stick around and visit the discussion board, if you haven’t already. This is a terrific community, and we’re here for you.

Quite hones I’m telling you form the bottom of my heart, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO A RESPECTABLE DIRECTOR YOU WILL HAVE TO CHEAT YOUR WAY UP, YOU WILL HAVE TO USE GUILT TO OBTAIN YOUR PRIZES AND MEET YOUR QUOTA EVERY MONTH, my advise is all the ladies have spoken. Let me give a little bit of my story, my last DIQ was about to commit suicide ‘because my senior was telling her that if she did not me her goal she will be like the rest of failures out there. The little thing my senior did not know my DIQ had a lot of emotional issues, on top of that her husband was about to leave hear, on top of that my DIQ used her fathers credit card to purchase products, after all GOD IS NOT INVOLVE IN THIS MARY KAY ISSUE AT ALL. Open your eyes do not keep investing.
I became a director by buying my way up STUPID OF ME, then all my girls gout out of the pink bubble and my senior tried to tell me that I must continue while I was in foreclosure and near banckruptcy.
Hear the whispers of God all mighty he is talking to you
