Lying About His Wife’s Success
At Pink Truth, we are very familiar with the false earnings claims made in Mary Kay. A husband of a Mary Kay consultant has something to say abut our criticism of pink Cadillac sales directors (how few there are and how little they make):
I don’t know who you are or why you are doing this. All I know is that my wife and I have been running this business for almost a year. We have demanding day jobs and we work very hard at building our business. We have seen a steady increase in profits every month. Our clientel gets bigger and bigger every month. How dare you sit there and say its not a real business?
I don’t understand this site. My wife is a Mary Kay Consultant and I am in charge of marketing. Your numbers are correct, but the reason why the percentage of Cadillac owners is so small is because its extremely difficult to reach that level. Difficult yes, impossible hell no! Only those willing to put in the work will get there. The lazy, the weak, and the unmotivated don’t stand a chance. Mary Kay gives you the tools to get there. You must provide the drive.
We are almost there after only a year running our business. We made back our initial investment in less than two months. Its hard work.
Notice that he says getting to the Cadillac is hard work and they are “almost there after only a year of running our business.”
Of course, I checked into his claim, and it is completely false. His wife isn’t even a sales director, much less close to the Cadillac. She is a senior consultant, which means she has 1 or 2 active recruits.
Yet another example of the rampant lying about one’s success in Mary Kay. And when the husbands are making the claims (like in this really old, but entertaining post), I often wonder whether they are completely in the dark about what’s happening with the wife’s business. (Note that the woman in the last linked article has gotten divorced, filed bankruptcy, and lost her directorship since that was published.)

Congratulations on your year in the pink fog. Come back when you’re at 15 and actually successful. But we’ll see you sooner than that when the house of cards crumbles and you awake to the scam.
Since he seems to be tracking everything, we’d appreciate seeing the figures to prove this since we can’t seem to get that from anyone else. That would shut me up for sure!
Also, with how easy and fast it is to fall out of directorship, I’ve seen several who no longer met the requirements for SD but still regarded themselves as such. It’s possible the wife once held the title and things have changed but she hasn’t told anyone because it happened so quickly.
Very sad.
Bet you a nickel that the wife wrote this herself as an Appeal to the Authority of Balls. After all, the menfolk are the sensible and rational ones, amirite? So if a man, especially one handling the money because that’s a man thing, says so it’s gotta be true, heyna?
Nope. Horse puckey is the same regardless of one’s wedding tackle.
It’s a rigged system set up to make 99.9%+ of the participants fail, based on envy baiting to make people squander their money to keep up appearances.
Exactly what I thought. The SD wants to shut us up using her idea of authority, a man.
Wifey poo is fudging numbers an hubby doesn’t know it.
I can’t with these Friday critics – and also why lie to a FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT?
If your Mary Kay business is making money why care about what this site says?
I don’t know who you are or why you are doing this.
Our names or nom du plumes are all over the site. That’s who we are. Many of us, myself excluded, were in fact successful in terms of Mary Kay Wagner Rogers Eckman Weaver Louis Miller Hallenbeck Ash’s company. They were career car drivers, stage walkers, sash wearers, you’re not telling them anything THEY don’t know.
All I know is that my wife and I have been running this business for almost a year.
A year??? You won’t have the paperwork to prove anything yet.
We have demanding day jobs and we work very hard at building our business.
So you are “robbing Peter to pay Paul”?
We have seen a steady increase in profits every month.
Since you haven’t shown us the proof, how can you argue this?
Our clientel (sic) gets bigger and bigger every month.
Are this returning clients or not? Those are the ones driving your “business” not fly-by-night one-off purchasers.
How dare you sit there and say its not a real business?
Because Mary Kay’s own figures show that.

I don’t understand this site.
So much for your “logical manly brain”.
My wife is a Mary Kay Consultant and I am in charge of marketing.
What marketing?? MKC sends you everything they approve of. Anything else can get (general) you into trouble with the Powers That Be!
Your numbers are correct, but the reason why the percentage of Cadillac owners is so small is because its extremely difficult to reach that level.
IF it’s difficult to reach the Caddy level, why is that down-played? “Executive Pay for Part-Time Work”? “Work in Small Pockets of Your Time”?
You acknowledge our figures are correct but seem to be prepared to discount our experiences? I wonder why!
Difficult yes, impossible hell no! Only those willing to put in the work will get there.
Oh, sweetheart! The chances of “your wife” being a Caddy driver is retreating every day.
The lazy, the weak, and the unmotivated don’t stand a chance.
Which of the adjectives will you refer to “your wife” with each repeated failure?
Mary Kay gives you the tools to get there. You must provide the drive.
Like Monique did? Like Mia Mason Porter?
We are almost there after only a year running our business.
No you are not. Sorry to burst your Pink Bubble but I suspect you have never seen any paperwork proving this. I suggests you ask to see the double entry ledgers which “your wife” undoubtedly keeps like a real business does.
We made back our initial investment in less than two months. Its hard work.
Sadly, it’s not your initial investment that’s the problem. It’s all the credit card stretching at the end of each and every quarter that’s the killer. Plus the constant delivery of new products and inventory that you don’t have clients for nor a clue how to sell them until you discount heavily and lose any potential profits.
