This month has been ANOTHER opportunity for sales directors to earn “double credit” on all orders placed by their units. What is double credit, you say? It’s a little trick that fraudulently inflates the amount of “retail sales” an individual or unit reports for the seminar year. As you may …
Seminar is the time when we celebrate the directors who made “Unit Clubs.” These are levels of recognition beginning at $300,000, with $1 million being the huge milestone that is celebrated. Mary Kay officially calls the dollar figures “estimated retail production.” That’s a misleading phrase. The sales directors themselves tell …

Here’s an excellent example of a sales director pushing ordering of products. Now of course she’s mentioning the “profits,” but the truth is that she doesn’t really care if you actually sell it or not. Order, whether you can afford it or not… and we’ll even call it “an investment” …
“Top Director” Jen Semelsberger was thrilled that her unit “Did a Million” before seminar 2007. How did it really get done?
