Why Isn’t Jamie Taylor an NSD?

January 5, 2021 January 5, 2021  instagram, jamie taylor 31

You’re probably wondering why Jamie Taylor STILL isn’t a National Sales Director in Mary Kay. She was certain she was going to finish the requirements by September 30, 2020. Jamie even went so far as to host an event at the end of September for her DIQs and sales directors …

Holiday Open House Failure

December 10, 2020 December 9, 2020  holiday 24

How many of you felt (or feel, if you’re still in) the sting of the holiday open house failure in Mary Kay? Your upline insisted that you order a ton of Christmas products. After all, they’re going to sell out fast! (They sold out, but only because everyone has a …

I Am On Fire, and It’s Going to Last!

December 3, 2020 November 9, 2020 6

Written by SuzyQ I secretly love it when directors have a “good” month. In my former wannabe area, we competed for silly little prizes from the dollar tree in contests for highest monthly production and most recruits. It was terribly exciting. And very competitive. If I were still in Mary …

Denying the Reality of Mary Kay

November 30, 2020 November 23, 2020 4

Written by Raisinberry Heartbreak is the only word that comes to mind, as we who have de-pinked, watch the parade of our friends going over the cliff, pursuing the Mary Kay “dream.” For a long time, I actively cared about my senior director, my offspring, my fellow directors, and former …

Sad Truths About Mary Kay

November 18, 2020 November 8, 2020 9

Written by Raisinberry Look, I am nobody… I was never one of your Seminar Stars. I was just a trudge-thru-the-murk “Premier Club” director, of which, there are hundreds! Maybe thousands. There is absolutely no reason for you to listen to me, especially since you have already been warned that I …

Your Mary Kay Failure Is NOT Your Fault

November 5, 2020 November 4, 2020  facebook 13

Here’s a post from a private Facebook group. The poor Mary Kay consultant has started and stopped her “business” over and over for the last 11 years. She keeps failing. She wants to make MK be her full-time gig, but can’t get there. In fact, she says every time she …

Don’t Join Mary Kay to Have Fun

October 29, 2020 October 12, 2020 4

One of the common “defenses” of multi-level marketing and the fact that 99% of people lose money in it… is that people just joined to HAVE FUN! They didn’t really want to make any money. They just wanted to meet people and have fun. In this clip from an appearance …

The Mary Kay Numbers Game

October 28, 2020 September 25, 2020  executive income 7

They tell us that multi-level marketing isn’t a pyramid scheme. When I say that it’s endless chain recruiting, they tell me that’s nonsense. But it IS all about recruiting. They pretend it’s about the products, but we’re bombarded by requests to bring guests and interview them. Oh, it’s just for …

Going Into Debt Even If You Work Hard

October 27, 2020 September 23, 2020 12

A sales director shows us how easy it is to fall into debt in Mary Kay. Even though she wasn’t making money, she has stayed in for years and tries to live the dream. I started MK about 8 years ago. I was a stay at home mom with 2 …

The Truth Behind Multi-Level Marketing

October 20, 2020 October 21, 2020 9

A funny video about multi-level marketing. But it’s sad how true it is. It covers all the talking points used with distributors, as well as the truth behind those catch phrases and platitudes. All the claims about how it’s simple to start with family and friends, how you can get …
