I Made $600 My First Week!
In response to an old Friday “Pink Truth Critics” post, we got a fabulous little comment from someone named Ashley. Does anyone want to mention to her that she didn’t “win” $1100 in free products? She doesn’t realize she bought those. Ashley had to buy a $3,600 wholesale inventory package to get the “free” products that are $550 wholesale/$1,100 retail. Pssst, Ashley…. You’ve already lost. You lost thousands of dollars and you don’t even know it.
My director is a national sales director, one of the top ppl in MaryKay. In one week of starting I’ve made over $600, won over $1100 in free product, won jewelry, a jewelry box, pins, gifts, full makeup pallets and more. In one week. My first week. It’s not a scam but you have to know how to be a salesman. You have to know how to connect with ppl. You have to know the ins and outs of money and taxes and business related things. If you’re too lazy to do the work and research then yes you will fail. Don’t blame it on the company. Blame it on yourself. You are responsible for your own life and actions.

Ashley, you didn’t “make” $600. Your P/L shows you are still $3K in the red. There is a 99.6% chance you will never recoup what you invest in this MLM.
You will be better off a year from now if you quit and return your inventory today…before your upline convinces you to throw even more money toward their commissions.
Ashley, great advice from Data Junkie. Nothing I would add except to learn the difference between pallet and palette.
Congrats, Ashley, on your best week ever in Mary Kay! Seriously. You seem to think that is replicable & consistent, but it’s truly not.
At the top it says you get 100 FREE names. WHERE are those names coming from? Do the people know their names are being given to newbies. Can other consultants buy names for a price?
I’ve been meaning to say I absolutely love your username 🧡 🍝
Makes me wonder if those 100 free names are actually coming from the customers who “check out as a guest” and disappear from their consultant’s data…
Re: the “100 free names,” looks like I had completely the wrong idea. I thought it meant that the consultomer would get 100 free slots in the system to fill up with names they gather themselves before they had to start paying a per-customer fee in the PCP.
So they are actually getting leads! This must be a new thing, right? I thought every consultomer had to stalk women in retail establishments or put out fishbowls at David’s Bridal to try to come up with new marks.
So the $64,000 question is, where is MK getting these leads? SEM, you may be on to something!
How’d your second week go? Your second month? Second year, did you make it that far?
Still trying to school the former longtime directors, Cadillac drivers, real small businesses owners, and accountants on “…how to connect with ppl. You have to know the ins and outs of money and taxes and business related things…” on the strength of one week’s experience?
Is your national still at it, or has she retired because the company is circling the drain?
Actually everyone does, depending on the pool of relatives and friends one has.
Then after that….?
They can only support you so much and not more.
Ashley will soon be trolling the aisles at Target soon looking to “warm chatter” while leaving those stupid “win a facial” boxes in public bathrooms.
“You are responsible for your own life and actions.”
Sage advice. I suggest you heed it.
Good grief. Ashley needs a REAL accounting tutorial so she knows how to create REAL financial statements – based on facts and not “Mary Kay Math”.
100 free names?!? Huh? MK is handing out leads? Where are they coming from? Just gross!
