Alyssa Cassels was a director in qualification on FIRE. Here’s her why story. (She was contacted by Devin Gole after she entered a facial raffle in a box at Baskin-Robbins.)

She announced that she was a new consultant on February 1st.

Funny that Alyssa was recognized as the #3 “seller” at this event, but hadn’t even had her first Mary Kay party. (As we know, they recognize only ORDERING, and pretend that’s selling.)

She held her first party February 14th, and had her first team member by the 24th.

Alyssa ordered her red jacket on March 9th. She shared her home office and attended career conference.

On Easter, Alyssa honored both Easter and Mary Kay. (Yes, that’s a cross made out of eye pencils!)

She was stunned that she earned a gold medal! She signed up 11 consultants in March. (The signup fee was $10). She also upgraded her inventory into a dedicated curio cabinet! Look at all that stock!

On April 17th Alyssa shared her next stop was DIQ! At this point, she has been a Mary Kay consultant for 2.5 months. She’s moving fast!

Alyssa entered DIQ in May, 3 months after she became a consultant.

On June 6th, Alyssa posted she needed just 5 more consultants to finish DIQ. Her team includes her two sisters, her sister-in-law, her husband’s cousin, and her mom’s friend. Yes, Alyssa did what everyone does in DIQ… gets the required number of  unit members by “recruiting” family and friends to be warm bodies.

Then Alyssa weirdly posted that she had until June 12 to complete DIQ. This is odd because the DIQ process allows her 1 to 4 months to complete the number of people and the required orders of products. Why would there be a mid-month deadline?

Why the urgency to finish DIQ so fast? Her senior sales director is Pam Garner Moore.

Pam turns 65 in July – and that’s the normal retirement age for national sales directors. But, so long as she debuts as an nsd prior to her 65th birthday, she can continue in the position and be eligible for retirement benefits after 5 years. So…. Pam is trying desperately to finish her Bold National Area before turning 65. She must finish by June 30, or the party is over and she will never become a national sales director.

Pam has been in Mary Kay for over 40 years. Her 93 year old mother is still an active sales director. Her sister in law is NSD Julia Garner. Here are Pam’s thoughts at the end of May:

On June 10, Alyssa announced that she finished DIQ and became a director.

Pam was excited too, but no word on how many directors she still needs to finish her area. Could it be that Alyssa was the last one? Or is Pam still waiting on one or two more?
