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.
Article about this is forthcoming!!!!
“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.
Ah, the power of the symbolic trinket! Ladies, take Mary Kay out of it and buy yourself a car and some jewelry. These things are much cheaper and much less hassle when purchased directly! Not to mention your family and friends will be so much happier for you…especially if you pay for these things with a regular, paying job!
When you leave Mary Kay, your F+F will be cheering. Just not in your hearing, as they don’t want to hurt your feelings. But the cheering will be real. They will also wince for a while hoping you don’t just hop to another MLM and come back to shake them down for even more money.
Break free from MLM and make your family and friends happy! You will be happier too! Imagine the pride of buying these things for yourself without the humiliation of having to beg your family and friends! You can smile while you drive your car knowing your F+F did not have to spend a penny to help you!
I thought they were spit diamonds anyway – the sort Lowes use on grinder disks. There’s a few PTers who took jewels for appraisal at a jewellers and were told they were spit, gold plated steel and worth only scrap value ($30 melt value tops).
THIS. The absolute irony of them complaining about the quality of the jewelry…
My thought was: Do lab-grown diamonds come in that poor of quality that Mary Kay uses?
This post was only up for a short amount of time and was GONE by the time I heard about it and went running for the comments. Shani from Shani’s Office is the moderator of this group and they typically approve everything that is posted. (Multiple posts about Monica’s Special Deals, the new agreement, etc) so the comments must have been REALLY good! She only usually deletes stuff with a lot of fighting.
