A Husband’s Response to a Sales Director Quitting
Following the receipt of a letter from a long-time Mary Kay sales director to her unit, the husband of a consultant sent this response.
This letter is likely representative of what so many Mary Kay husbands and boyfriends see. That they’re not being “unsupportive.” They’re being realistic and factual. They see and say that Mary Kay is not a viable business opportunity. That isn’t unsupportive. That is love… wanting the best for your partner.
His note:
My name is xxxxx, husband of xxxxxx. I am sorry to hear of you stepping down. I only wish it had happened years ago. I have no ill feelings for you, but I despise Mary Kay. I wish I could put them out of business tomorrow and return money to all the women who are in financial trouble because of Mary Kay.
I could see Mary Kay for what it was, a scam. But xxxxxx had the Mary Kay blinders on. Twice I had to bail her out of credit card debt. I could see it coming but I had to let her lose $6,000 before her mindset would change. But it took that much money because of all the crap she was fed by Mary Kay.
The sad part is Mary Kay has some really good products – but they’re too expenses! So now xxxxxx is pretty much a personal use consultant with a basement full of “product” that is worthless.
I feel lucky that she only wasted about a year and only lost the $6,000. But I would much rather have the money in our savings account. Mary Kay has a smooth operation. Xxxxxx is a pretty smart woman but she fell for all the hype. I can only imagine how many women are out there whose lives were literally destroyed by Mary Kay.
Xxxxxx is a teacher now working 50-60 hours a week for roughly $10 per hour. But she is very happy. It really is what she was put on this earth to do because she is the only Bible some kids will ever see.
This letter probably won’t mean much to you but I feel better just getting this off my chest. I wish I could tell the world what I think of Mary Kay, Inc. So if you have a plan to take Mary Kay down you can count me in.
I wish you the best in whatever direction you choose. I know you will be successful.
P.S xxxxxx hasn’t seen your letter yet, let alone know about this letter I’m writing you.

Up until the 5th paragraph, I could have sworn it was my husband that wrote that letter!

He said it so well. For the longest time I viewed my husband as unsupportive but in reality he was seening what was really happening and trying to open my eyes. It took three and a half years but I finally woke up and got out!

As a Consultant’s husband, this guy would not be privy to the indoctrination that happens to Director’s husbands. The husbands who attend seminar, and Leadership and Retreats would never write a letter like this…even husbands fall for the brain washing that is given out by NSD hubby’s and Top Director Hubby’s as they tell the tale of “help her pack her trunk and support her as she climbs the career path and she’ll make you a lot of money.”
Yep, overheard it at a
“husbands” session at our area hotel, during Seminar. Heard it again on awards night. Leave her alone, cheer-lead, and stand back out of her way and she will make YOU a lot of money.
Now you didn’t think that just the consultants and Director’s were manipulated, did you?

Just think how many more there are just like him. Just think of how many men are now divorced because of Mary Kay. Just think of how many families have been torn apart by this pink monster. It’s so very sad.
