Already Complaining About 2027 Seminar Prizes
Mary Kay can’t win with the consultants and directors. Remember when we were told to be grateful for any prizes we got? That they are all “extra” for the work we were already going to do.
At the start of this month, Mary Kay made an official announcement that the award jewelry was now going to include lab grown diamonds and sterling silver to save money. (Yes, folks, Mary Kay Inc. appears to still be bleeding money!)
Sales director Melissa Hurd is bothered with this. She wonders why consultants and directors have to hit the same order levels to qualify for this “costume jewelry.” (Yo, Melissa… The jewelry is actually going to look much prettier with lab grown diamonds versus the crappy quality natural diamonds that were previously used.)
But I get it, Melissa. You bought into the idea that you were getting valuable jewelry. You weren’t. Throw out those “appraisals” you have, and accept that your rings are worth gold scrap value only.

Yet another change that has the sales force up in arms. And another change for MK corporate to save money, but they still want those massive orders of inventory. Don’t be surprised if they up that Queens court goal to a nice round $50K retail in the near future.
The consultants got an update to their agreement yesterday. Looks like a lot of CYA is going on at corporate.
“Don’t be surprised if they up that Queens court goal to a nice round $50K retail in the near future.”
Prize-giving will continue to fall on the shoulders of the NSDs. Possibilities include:
– Duchess Court of Sales
– Lady-in-Waiting Court of Sharing
– Scullery Maid Court of Sales
We’re bringing back shaming consultants, after all!
Good grief, a 19 page PDF? I’ve seen tax form instructions with less minutiae.
