You Allowed Yourself to Be Deceived
A Mary Kay consultant tells us we’re wrong. Mary Kay isn’t that bad. It’s just a few bad people. And you were lied to because you ALLOWED yourself to be lied to.
Mary Kay is not as bad as you had imagined… It only reflects the kind of leadership you are in… Like anything under the sun, electricity can be bad cause I can kill you with that. In other ways, in can be good too, because with electricity I can now use my laptop to make a comment on this blog…hehehe Same with Mary Kay… Mary Kay is neutral… It can either be good or bad…
Yeah! I can see there are some bad practices Sales Directors and National Sales Directors that are creating this negative image… And it is Dishonesty…
I have been a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant for 4 years now.. I have friends who are Sales Directors already but I chose not to go for Directorship at this time of my life and I’ll tell you why… ?
It takes a whole lot of awareness to be a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant and pray to God that your Sales Director has Integrity in doing business with you. ?
- You are only deceived because you allowed the person to deceive you. Ouch! Yes, truth hurts and I realized this too… If you said No, there’s nothing they can do to you. If they insist, be persistent with your No, too.
- Your Sales Director can only suggest that you Move Up but it is still up to you if you want to move up. In my case, my Sales Director encourages me to be one of them already but I said I am not ready yet. I only violate one of Mary Kay’s philosophy that is God First, Family Second, Career Third… My baby is still 3 months old so it’s a No No for now… My SD has nothing to do but to wait for me to decide when I am ready… Good thing, she respects my decision. ?
- Directorship journey should not be forced. If you feel it inside you that you’re not ready yet. Tell your SD honestly like what I did. Because even if you passed the DIQ Level, once you become SD, you will be having a hard time keeping up with the target unit sales…hehehe
- Fake it till you make it… I also disagree with this quote… You cannot fake something because someone might recognize you’re faking it. It’s my experience by the way. You need to be honest with your customers and friends. Also, realize that we have this so called Money Blueprint – this will tell you how much money can you keep inside your bank account or whatever… For ordinary person, like me, my money blueprint is only for ordinary person. This will take more years of personality development inside me to get a SD income without any faking or dishonesty along the process. Because, income or earnings is directly proportional to your personality development. That’s why managers or business owners are paid high. And don’t expect right away that you can sell easily your beloved Mary Kay products. It takes time to know the product and experience the product yourself. ?
- That’s why it is important to choose your recruiter more importantly your SD, to what unit you belong. Because in my case, I really decide to transfer to a new SD because my old SD and his unit members are hypocrite I should say…hahaha!!!
- Why Mary Kay after all this and actually there are more… Because, at the time when I was having depression only Mary Kay gave me income that I can still eat a decent food. If I go to work, no one will hire because of my depression.. And if they did, I cannot manage to stay long with my job…

“If you said No, there’s nothing they can do to you. If they insist, be persistent with your No, too.”
If everyone you recruit follows this advice, you will never make a dime!
Oh, you poor PTC. No one makes any real money in MK unless a LOT of people in their own downline say YES. Outside customer sales play little if any role in earning riches in MK!
Oh my dear PT Critic… if Mary Kay is supposedly “neutral,” but you need to pray your director has integrity, choose the right recruiter and unit, resist pressure, recognize deception, and be persistent with your “no.” And if you are deceived? Apparently you “allowed” it. That’s not accountability. That’s victim-blaming with a pink bow on it.
If someone misrepresents the income, inventory, or opportunity to persuade you to join or order more, the responsibility belongs to the person doing the misleading — not the person who failed to say “no” forcefully enough.
The electricity analogy doesn’t work either. Electricity doesn’t recruit you, flatter you, appeal to your dreams, or financially reward someone for persuading you to use more of it.
When a “good opportunity” requires this many warnings just to participate safely, maybe the problem isn’t a few bad people.
Maybe it’s the system that keeps giving them room to operate.
If you are new to mlm, you have no idea about how to go about “selecting” an SD. That’s not how it works. In order to do so, you’d have to quit MK, wait up to a year, and re-sign under someone else. People new to MK don’t know this either. You must have been in MK before, perhaps an SD, who lost their unit, went inactive for some reason, and decided to return at some point. Most of us here didn’t have the advantage of knowledge because SDs don’t want us to know too much before we sign up. That’s why Pink Truth exists. We provide the insider’s look at how the REAL world of MK functions (and lately not so well)!
Mary Kay is not as bad as you had imagined…
It’s worse!
It only reflects the kind of leadership you are in…
well, you hit the nail on the head. It’s the so-called Leadership which is the problem.
Like anything under the sun, electricity can be bad cause I can kill you with that. In other ways, in can be good too, because with electricity I can now use my laptop to make a comment on this blog…hehehe

Same with Mary Kay… Mary Kay is neutral… It can either be good or bad…
Any company which functions by extracting money from it’s lower levels to enrich those higher up the chain is inherently bad.
Yeah! I can see there are some bad practices Sales Directors and National Sales Directors that are creating this negative image… And it is Dishonesty…
And what are you personally doing to combat this, Ms. PTC?
I have been a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant for 4 years now.. I have friends who are Sales Directors already but I chose not to go for Directorship at this time of my life and I’ll tell you why… ?
Oh look! Some pure unadulterated self-righteous drivel coming up.

If I’m having “to Pray” that my SD has “Integrity” that’s a huge 🚩Red Flag.🚩
