Here is the latest and greatest scheme for becoming a sales director in Mary Kay. And amazingly enough, it takes almost no time at all! Only 9.5 hours per week for six months (or less!!!). This is obviously complete fiction... have fun with it!

A note from a Mary Kay Sales Director's office assistant... I just wanted to let you know that I believe that PinkTruth is a good and noble effort to help people. You will probably not reach those die-hards but you can't be discouraged by that.
I am an office assistant for a Sr. Director. I consider her and her entire family as friends. They are nice people. I started as an independent contractor in 2006 so I've SEEN IT ALL. I work about 35-40 hrs makinge $8.50 per hour. My boss is a reasonable and lovely woman. REASONABLE in all areas of her life except, you guessed it, MK. Even her husband is in the Pink Fog. Her whole family is.

An email from a Mary Kay lady who knows all the catch phrases.... I know I shouldn’t bother, because you probably get tons of emails like the one I am writing but what can I say…it’s my personality to defend something very important to me. My main problem with your sight is that you are basing your entire experience in Mary Kay on the directors or Nationals you worked under. I see very little about the actual company and more about how you were trained. Although bad directors do reflect on the company you should be more open to the fact that you just had a bad experience. I too was a consultant under a “bad” director that only pushed recruits and inventory and I quickly burned out and left (five years ago) but I was logical and I knew that one person making bad judgement calls didn’t make the entire company bad. If Mary Kay is as corrupt as you would say then how come more women make $100,000 a year in Mary Kay then any other company in the United State of America? How come there are thousands of women waiting to share their testimonies of how Mary Kay changed their future and their families futures? The reason you see so many women quitting is because they want a hobby and not a business.

 One of our members was upset about the loss of a friendship. She was a good friend first, and a member of the sales director's unit second. Upon leaving MK, she hasn't heard from the sales director, even though she's going through a hard time with an ill husband.
Giving your ex-SD the benefit of the doubt and assuming the best about her, I could see the following scenario:
She finds out her close friend is leaving Mary Kay. She is sad, because she has been friends with her for a long time, and she takes it a little personally that she won't be working with her anymore. In addition, she's worried about how her loss will affect her unit's production. The unit's not doing too well as it is, and now she's really going to have to scramble to replace one of her top people (Anna).

These new DIQ qualifications were shared and I want to give you at Sales Development at least a kudo when you do something right. I am speaking of this rationale to the requirements as follows:
With the significant increase of new Independent Beauty Consultants this year, our renewed priority as a Company and as an independent sales force should be to retain all of these new team members — and ensure they have the tools, the education and confidence to build a solid customer base and a successful Mary Kay business at all levels. These changes to the qualifications to become an Independent Sales Director help ensure that DIQs put their businesses on a firm footing and have the best possible chance to form solid, high-performing units.
We thank you for listening to us.

Sometimes critics ask why we spend so much time at Pink Truth, saying the same things over and over. Why don't we just get over it already, and move on? Believe me, many of us have asked ourselves the same question. We've all been through difficult times, or losses of one sort or another. Why does recovery from this Mary Kay experience seem to be so hard for many of us? This question came up on the discussion boards recently, and here are some of my thoughts about it.
Leaving Mary Kay is a grieving process, but in some ways it is harder than losing a loved one. When someone dies, there is a wake and funeral (or similar rituals), and the people around you can easily recognize what you have lost. Even if they can't understand, they know that there's a real loss, and they know it's personal for you. We don't get that kind of support leaving Mary Kay, do we?

Every time I review a Mary Kay training document covering the do’s, don’ts, and you-darned-well-better’s of Seminar, I have to go draw a hot bath and pop two 800mg Motrins. Most of the Seminar guidance put forth by Mary Kay’s leaders reads like deep Deuteronomian prose: “Yea, and all consultants shall appear in Dallas beskirted – yea, those that appear in pantaloons shall be made to drink of the bitter waters and shut out of the camp, unless she bringeth an unblemished calf to Mary Kay Ash’s office for a jealousy offering, Selah.” NSD Linda Toupin’s website sports a Seminar how-to document that’s sure to make your brain rub its gray-mattered chin and ponder, “You know, some of the points covered by Toupin sound suspiciously like writer B ob Larson’s cult identification guidelines !” So if you’re wondering why I’ve called you here today, it’s to show you a few similarities between the Toupin and Larson schools of thought. Ready? |

 I just spent some time reading the most recent filing in the Mary Kay Inc. v Touch of Pink Cosmetics case. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of Mary Kay, but that verdict has not yet been affirmed or rejected by the judge in the case. Both parties are still filing motions in an attempt to resolve this case.
The latest filing, done on May 22, 2009, has several interesting parts. The complete filing is attached here.
One of the issues is Touch of Pink’s claim that Mary Kay had an “unexcused delay” in this matter. Simply put, they’re saying that Mary Kay never really challenged the business of Touch of Pink Cosmetics until filing the lawsuit in May 2008.
Mary Kay knew that Amy and Scott Weber had an eBay store in June 2005. Mary Kay sent Amy letters regarding her alleged breach of her consultant agreement by selling products on eBay. But these letters never complained about the age of the products being sold or the use of the Mary Kay name (two issues which are prominent in this lawsuit). They simply said she was violating her consultant agreement and would be terminated because of it.

 Just keep saying “no.” I have learned when my friends invite me to MLM engagements of any sort to tell them that I have a personal rule of not supporting any form of MLM because I don’t believe in the business model. Regardless of the quality of the product, if it is a direct selling business, I will not buy product or attend any parties or meetings. This was hard at first because it went against the code of being nice. But Mary Kay and MLMs like it count on this. This is why they still push parties. They know women will be guilted into “supporting” their friend’s new “business.” Real businesses have Grand Openings and don’t need to beg people to support them.
I just got hit up by a good friend to attend a meeting for StemEnhance (a blue-green algae supplement). I was partly angry that my friend had been duped, but on the other hand, they are an adult. Why get angry? I simply sent them a friendly email telling them about my personal rule and recommending some strategies to protect their finances as they experiment with the business.
