One of the biggest challenges in Mary Kay (or any MLM, for that matter) is getting new people interesting in holding parties. Where do you find these women? You can only hang out in Starbucks or the aisles at Target for just so long, hoping to give someone a “sincere” …
Written by SuzyQ Hello again. Did you know that I sent my inventory back to Mary Kay in 2007? And that many of the articles on Pink Truth authored by me were written then? We keep updating and re-sharing them on the front page because nothing has changed in Mary …
I received this email from a relatively new Mary Kay consultant who wanted to share her experience with us. Hello and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to send you an e-mail. I have been a Mary Kay consultant for over a year now and can honestly say it …
Written by SuzyQ I’m just sayin’… that it would be incredibly difficult to be a director in Mary Kay during the winter holidays. Those who are “working their businesses” have scheduled open houses to show their holiday gift packages. Lots of money spent there, mugs for the “coffee and cream,” …
