Staying at Your Nsd’s Hotel for Seminar
It’s almost Seminar time in Mary Kay, and there is a push to stay at your national sales director’s hotel. They’ll tell you it’s all about the camaraderie and being together and being close to the convention center. As with everything in Mary Kay, there is a REAL reason why.
It’s the perks your nsd gets if she “sells” enough rooms to her area. It’s not enough that she’s making tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars off the backs of her consultants. She needs more. What is on the line is her suite at the hotel. She’ll get that free with enough consultants booking rooms. She’ll also get the use of a ballroom space for your area awards at no cost.
One nsd tried to sell it this way:
The experience of staying in our very nice hotel permits the consultants to get a feel of prosperity. We are selling success, and you need to see what it is like to stay in a first class hotel. You don’t need to feel less than other Consultants and Directors by staying at a cheap hotel up the street or across the tracks. You need to feel as entitled as the others who are staying at our hotel. Directors who stay at the National Hotel have a vision of prosperity for their people.
Also, Mary Kay Cosmetics chooses these hotels. If Mary Kay Ash wanted our people to choose from the least expensive hotels in Dallas, we would be using them and be running bus service to them. But that is not Mary Kay’s choice. She wanted our people to experience something quite nice. She knew what she was doing.
And don’t you know that staying at the area hotel shows loyalty?
By supporting your NSD in this way, by action and not words, you are “paying it forward,” and teaching YOUR people how to support their leader: YOU!! You will enjoy loyalty, a willingness to stick with you as your area grows, and a faster trip to NSD.
An NSD is keen to help the ones who help her by supporting the Area by their ACTIONS.
Yet another example of how being in Mary Kay warps your thinking. Use an expensive hotel and cram them in the rooms like cattle so they can feel what it’s like to live the good life. News flash: Tripping over three other women for 3 days doesn’t make me feel good!

And when I thought I can’t get any more repulsed, there is yet another.
I was just thinking of this yesterday while I was alone in my hotel room on vacation.
No matter how fancy the hotel, staying in a hotel room with 3 other adult women and all their junk, dresses, uniforms, gifts for their consultants, Seminar winnings, etc, is not fun…it’s chaos. Add to it, the lack of sleep, any drama (read alcohol) they might enjoy adding to the stay and it makes the entire event complete trash. (I have so many stories of Directors getting way past drunk and doing horrible things…that usually happened at Leadership when no consultants were around)
Linda Toulon used to say she would always room alone so she could have peace and that sounded so nice. “Eagles fly alone” she said. Hold a few extra parties🤦🏼♀️ I was in debt already holding as many parties as I could figure out how to hold. Do you know how much a hotel room in a fancy hotel in DALLAS costs for 5 days?!
After a while, I just came back to the room during the day when I knew no one would be there just to have some peace. I knew they wouldn’t be teaching anything new in those silly classes.
So much wasted time on this stupidity. 🙄🤪
