Spin. That’s all MK NSDs do is spin. Spin the bs to make it all look good. National SALES Director? Ha. More like Notorious Spin Doctor.

And they want you to believe THIS is “taught at Harvard”??? LOL

Recently a good friend invited me over to taste-test some new products she got through an MLM. She was acting very excited about the products and I said, OK, but I’d like to try them side by side with similar products I got from the grocery. She said that sounded like a good idea.

I thought we were just going to have some girlfriend time. Wrong.

I walked in and discovered it was a staged show to promote the MLM. Her director was there, practically running the whole party from the start. Comparison tasting was not on the agenda. The MLM plan for rags to riches with a free-for-life car was on the agenda instead.

It was too bad, really. Had the director just played “guest” herself I might have at least made a pity purchase. But because she wanted to control every phase of the scripted “party” I wound up in an argument with her when I asked to do the promised comparison taste-test. I bought nothing.

Very quickly I started looking for ways to poop this party. I hate MLM sales pitches. Then I found out the only other people who showed up were themselves new distributors who were being “trained.” All the other invited “guests” who had promised to come were no-shows.

It was dreadful. Fortunately, my friend’s time as a distributor was short.

I love how the director uses the IBC’s friends against her as a means of intimidation, as in “Your friends are going to think you’re an amateur!”

Your friends are going to think nothing of the sort. How can they? They know nothing of the business. They might, however, be thinking something along the lines of “Dear God, we’ve been at this skin care class for what, 72 hours now? WHEN WILL IT END?”

“…it is your class and you will be doing the talking. I might make you nervous, so it is better if you just have my phone number handy if you want to call and ask me something…you can do it!”

That’s funny, remember back in the recruiting interview when that starry-eyed director overcame your objection with, “If I promise to hold your hand and teach you how to do this, what would keep you from getting started today?”

Apparently, “promise to hold your hand” = “Here’s my number, so call me maybe if you get some souls recruited who need to be persuaded to come in with $4800 star orders.”

Mary Kay culture’ll tell you anything to get you into the fold, friends. ANYTHING.

It’s always blame the consultant. U didn’t listen u didn’t want to be mentored u wouldn’t follow. Where really it was they were lying this was a bad investment and this is not how to run a real business.

I remember one meeting where a director who was a former salon owner said how mk was easier bc u didn’t have to keep buying inventory. And then the next minute told us we should be stocking up on products bc mk moves so fast.

All they tell these women is lies. Wow! I made money guess ur not going to learn anything today. Aww I was really looking forward to learning how it was done director.
