You Just Couldn’t Handle It
I stumbled onto this site the other night and honestly I don’t get it. It just sounds like a bunch of people who tried Mary Kay for five minutes and then quit when it got a little hard. Of course you didn’t make money if you weren’t willing to actually WORK the business.
People act like Mary Kay tricked them or something. Nobody forced you to sign up. Nobody forced you to order product. You chose it. That’s called personal responsibility which apparently isn’t very popular around here.
I’ve been a consultant for almost 2 years now and I’m doing just fine. I’m not driving a pink Cadillac or anything but that’s not even the point. I’ve met some amazing women and made some extra money on the side.
What bothers me is the constant negativity. Every single thing about Mary Kay is supposedly evil according to this site. The products, the meetings, the recognition, even the friendships. At some point you have to ask if maybe the problem wasn’t the company but the people involved.
Not everyone fails. Some people actually enjoy the business and stick with it. Maybe if some of you had a better attitude and stopped assuming everything is a scam, you might of had a different experience. Just saying.
Visit the
PTC, if you start a traditional business and grow it to the point of employing others, everyone on your team makes positive income.
In MLMs like Mary Kay, it is impossible for any downline to be profitable as a whole. The downline must lose money in the aggregate for the upline and the corporation to turn a true business profit. This is the nature of all pay-to-play endless-chain recruiting schemes like MK. You can look it up for yourself.
How do you respond to this unfortunate reality? I see two possibilities:
1) You were not aware that MK uses this type of exploitative system
2) You know but don’t care about the inevitable harm to every downline
If 1, please read up on these schemes. Just search on “Pay-to-play endless-chain recruiting schemes”. You will quickly discover that MLMs like Mary Kay fall firmly into this category. You will also discover that these schemes are highly exploitative. Note: Mary Kay does not pay you commissions until you recruit a downline! Recruiting is a requirement to be eligible to receive commissions in MK.
If 2, shame on you.
Note: You can bet the big moneymakers in MLM fall into category 2.
I notice that there is a recurring theme among the PTCs. I guess if you repeat a lie often enough, it would be a reality which people would end up believing… but it can never be the truth.
You can only lie for so long but never forever.
