Carrie Wants You to Order So She Can Meet Her Goal
Written by Parsons Green
Carrie Zuberer Cardwell has a goal y’all! In December she was all over her goal of attending a party at January’s Leadership event and take her husband as her plus one. On December 5th, she posted that she needed to have $5778 in sales by December 31st to earn this party. Could Carrie be in danger of losing her second directorship already?
Carrie is a part of Jamie Taylor‘s national area, and was one of the directors who helped her cross the finish line. She also earned an invite to Jamie’s 2022 retreat for her sales directors who drove Cadillacs. At the time Jamie had 11 directors in Cadillac. Today she only has 3. (Carrie is not one of them)
She counted down most days in December, and the number went down each time, but only a little. 8 days later, on December 13th, she needed $5,211, which was only about $500 closer.
Would she make it to the finish line in time?
The progress was so slow and the writing was on the wall, but she continued with daily updates to try to get people to order.
On the last day of the month (and year), she was still $3,968 away from the goal.
After Carrie’s almost daily updates throughout the month, letting people know her progress to her goal, she had to give the sad update on New Year’s Day that (shockingly) she did not meet her goal.
But she has learned what she needs to know to begin the year strong!!! (In other words, Carrie is one of the many who never learns what a scam she is participating in.)
To all the potential consultants watching Carrie’s progress:
Look how hard it is to get anyone to buy this product that supposedly flies off the shelf.
People have bills to pay and their own things they want to buy. They don’t want to be guilt tripped into helping you achieve some silly goal. They especially don’t want your daily announcements about your goal.
Carrie has been a sales director twice and was once in a Cadillac. She now can’t even meet this relatively small goal to get herself a ticket to a silly party.
If the Mary Kay opportunity is so great, why does she need to beg about it every day?

Imagine if your cash back credit card company said, “You only need to spend $1000 to get that $20 cash-back bonus! Just think what you could do with that bonus!”
Right. If you spend the money directly, it costs far less than buying items you don’t need just to accumulate cash back. MLM bonuses are certainly a higher rate than “cash-back” credit cards, but at least with credit cards the cash back can be for purchases of items you really want and need. With MLM, all this over-priced product needs to be over-purchased…for which there is little if any real demand, and thus little chance of ever selling it outside the downline. The spoils are not worth the cost.
For the vast majority of MLM participants, it would be MUCH less expensive to skip MLM participation altogether, and just pay for all the “spoils” directly. Buy your own car. Take your own trip, and enjoy your time there without having to work peddling your wares the entire time. All of this will be far more enjoyable for you and your spouse…and much less expensive overall!
If you don’t believe me, take a look at the credit card debt of the average MK Cadillac driver, or of the other folks on these “trips”.
Meanwhile, Travis probably wishes she’d give up the MK insanity and go on a real vacation…
Some of the men are glad the little lady in their lives is preoccupied with her “business.” She’s less likely to notice the shenanigans he is up to while she is “growing her business.”
“I learned what worked
I learned what didn’t”
If you are STILL in MK, you have not learned a thing Carrie. I’m sure Travis doesn’t care about that stupid Leadership dinner and would prefer a wife who wasn’t drowning in debt and begging on Facebook.
She obviously loves the recognition part of the Mary Kay scam. Seriously, $5,000 in orders so she can “qualify” to go to a director party? I never like the director caste system. You do all the work to become a director but being “ just” a director is never good enough. You are a director which means you lead your unit. Then, you pay to go to leadership conference which is for leaders, but you are excluded from some of the events because you are “ just” a director.
Why do they all insist their impossible goals are still within reach? They all do it, and it’s so obvious to anyone watching that there’s not a chance they’ll succeed. Aside from STRETCHING (aka, making the final order themselves), these goals are ridiculous.
Because Goooooooodddddddddd
Oh no, now she’ll just have to go on her own vacation without all the cult indoctrination!
It’s like every month in Mary Kay is some kind of a fundraising campaign for what is supposed to be a for-profit business. No normal business operates this way. It’s like they’re running a Jerry Lewis telethon or something, except it is not a worthy cause at all. Just pathetic.
I’ll also point out the “executive pay spiel they like to say to recruit people .Assuming she met her goal (which sh” didn’t) and profited 40% (after her inventory costs, shipping costs, any customer discounts, trinkets for her unit) that’s $2,311 in a month! Very executive. Much earning power. And that kind of income is award-winning! Worthy of a special party.
People will say, but Coralrose, selling isn’t her ONLY source of income she also earns commissions on recruits. I’m not sure recruiting people into this stinker of an “opportunity” makes it any better.
