Mary Kay Is Like Corporate America

March 21, 2022 February 22, 2022 9

We often hear Mary Kay (and other MLMs) compared to normal corporations. This is how they rationalize the pyramid. Those who compare MK to corporate America want you to see the realistic and understandable scenarios of corporate structure and how Mary Kay mirrors the same structure. In many organizations, there …

Chelsea Still Lies

December 7, 2021 December 6, 2021  chelsea claytor adkins 32

One of our favorite Mary Kay friends, Chelsea Claytor Adkins, has taken a social media break for the last couple of months. She’s appeared in the posts of others, but her Instagram feed has been dead for two months. Chelsea’s feed used to be a treasure trove of goodness for …

No Job Security in Mary Kay

September 16, 2021 September 1, 2021 7

You’ve heard the argument that MLM provides a wonderful opportunity. You decide how much you make. You control your own destiny. You can’t be laid off or fired. You’ll be financially independent, and you’ll make money on your own terms. But anyone who’s ever made it to sales director in …

Unemployed and Recruited Into Mary kay

April 21, 2021 April 21, 2021 3

This former consultant tells how she was recruited when she couldn’t find a job. How many women out of work (thanks to the pandemic) are falling for this now? I joined Mary Kay because I had been one of the millions of people who had been looking for a job …

How Much Do Directors Work

March 18, 2021 March 16, 2021 14

I posted this one a couple of years ago, but I’m bringing it back because it’s important and amusing. The big selling point in Mary Kay (or any MLM, for that matter) is “part time hours with full-time pay.” You have to get to sales director level to (hopefully) get …

An Unlimited Number of Mary Kay “Executives”?

February 2, 2021 January 16, 2021 9

This was an awesome comment on an older post about the lies they tell about sales director income. I thought it needed to be a post of its own. Written by Mountaineer95 Companies do not promise unlimited numbers of executive positions will be available, no matter how well you perform. …

Written by Raisinberry In my first life, I had the task of teaching sales to a large sales force in a multi-state region. As part of my job, I went to all the motivational programs, heard all the famous speakers, and sat under the tutelage of the greats… Charlie “Tremendous” …

Should I Put Mary Kay on My Resumé?

September 2, 2020 August 31, 2020 33

If Mary Kay was your main “job” for any length of time and now you’re searching for a real job, you may feel like you have to put it on your resumé. How would you explain the gap in employment otherwise? And yet…. You know that participation in an MLM …

Maximizing Ordering

July 21, 2020 June 22, 2020  on target 6

Written by Raisinberry Everything in Mary Kay is set up to maximize team and unit ordering. It doesn’t matter to corporate if a single product is sold to a bona fide customer, although those sales do help perpetuate the con. Once a consultant orders product, Mary Kay Inc. has made …
