Maybe I’m a Kaybot
Maybe you think I am one of the Kaybots. And that’s fine. And maybe I shouldn’t even take the time to respond. But I feel I should.
I became a consultant in May. I know what you’re thinking, oh you poor dear, you don’t know what you are in for. Well, I do. See, I did do my research. And I found this site, and I read everything, and I see one overarching theme. Bitterness. Now, I am of course not saying that y’all’s experiences aren’t real. Of course I believe you had those experiences, because that is what you are saying, and I would like to believe that people are honest in sharing their experiences. So let me share mine.
Mary Kay changed my life. And I don’t mean becoming a consultant. I have been a customer for over 7 years. My skin has never looked better. And yes, I have tried other products, and no, I don’t think that Mary Kay is overpriced. My makeup and skincare lasts me twice as long and has the same quality. But what do I know right? I know that I have never felt more beautiful.
When I joined, I was not pressured to buy inventory. My director told me it was totally up to me. But I decided to go for it. And I haven’t placed a $600 order since then, because I haven’t quite gotten the sales. And my director told me NOT to buy more product than money I had. Funny huh? Because how in the heck are you going to make money if you keep spending more than you have made? Interesting.
My director is one of the most honest hard working people I know, and she is an incredible woman. I have never ONCE in my entire time being involved with Mary Kay, felt pressured in to doing or buying or participating in something I did not want to do.
So I am sorry to all of you for your bad experiences. And I hope ragging on Mary Kay helps you feel better. But, in my heart, and saying this from my heart, Mary Kay Ash was a wonderful woman who started an amazing company that helps women look and feel beautiful. And just like no one can take away your bad experiences with Mary Kay, you can’t take away people’s good experiences either. #mymklife #mypinktruth

“I have never ONCE in my entire time being involved with Mary Kay, felt pressured in to (sic) doing or buying or participating in something I did not want to do.”
But you certainly have placed a $225 order quarterly to qualify for the 50% discount. So this is something you “want” to do? Your director is loving you!
I wonder how long she’s been a consultomer. If she’s still in the love-bombed honeymoon stage she’s in for a rude awakening once she realizes the minimum quarterly orders. And when her director NEEDS to make production lest she lose her title, that’s when she’s going to put the squeeze on. Plus June is coming 😱😰😵💫😵💸
She says she has been a consultant since May. By now she should know about the purchasing quota, and she has been through a Seminar scramble (she probably signed up as part of the qualification frenzy). Now she will get to experience the desperate squeeze from a slightly different perspective.
Her phrasing makes it seem like her initial order was $600. And in the 11 months since May she hasn’t sold enough to order another $600??
“Maybe a Kaybot,” you still have time to box up your product and get 90% back from the company. It will be WAY more than you’ve made in product sales.
I know I’m an old skeptic, but I can’t help but feel that this was written by a director making up a bunch of crap…I just find it interesting that so far the PTCs aren’t addressing the My Shop elephant in the room and it’s been 3 months now!
Mary Kay changed my life. And I don’t mean becoming a consultant. I have been a customer for over 7 years – how were you a customer that long and not baited to join?
My skin has never looked better. And yes, I have tried other products, and no, I don’t think that Mary Kay is overpriced. My makeup and skincare lasts me twice as long and has the same quality. But what do I know right? I know that I have never felt more beautiful – she really got in your head and validated you.
When I joined, I was not pressured to buy inventory. My director told me it was totally up to me. But I decided to go for it – she preyed on a very easy mark who did everything “suggested” to them.
And I haven’t placed a $600 order since then, because I haven’t quite gotten the sales – so are you a PUC who buys a “store” worth of inventory?
And my director told me NOT to buy more product than money I had – that wasn’t a problem because she magically made more money appear with an MK credit card.
Mary Kay Ash was a wonderful woman who started an amazing company that helps women look and feel beautiful – you knew her, personally, or just heard your director’s beautiful stories and ate them up.
SERIOUSLY, if anyone is reading this, look how insidious it is. PTC has been completely taken and yet thinks she’s completely on top of it. Don’t be the next victim.
