A reader offers this discussion of how companies analyze a market (and the territories) to decide where to place distributors/retailers. Of course, Mary Kay does no such thing, telling consultants to ignore the concept of saturation and that countless reps in an area are no problem. I’m mid 40s and …
It’s been a while since I talked about false earnings claims in Mary Kay. The easiest false claims to identify are the ones regarding how much product was sold. Take this one: Chelsea Claytor Adkins said she sold $85,000 of products in the seminar year that ended June 30, 2020. …
If you wanted to just sell Mary Kay products and not recruit anyone, could you make a living doing so? You might be able to make a living just selling Mary Kay products, but it’s going to be difficult. Suppose you sold $1,000 per week, EVERY week. Now remember… there …

Written by Raisinberry Someone once said that there is a little bit of “BS” is in every sales presentation, and they weren’t talking about better service. Perhaps some time ago, Mary Kay’s sales environment and recruiting system might have been pure as the driven snow, but something has gone terribly …
“You have to order before month-end!” This is the lie they have been telling in Mary Kay for decades. They say you shouldn’t wait until the first of the next month to order because your products might be delayed. Tell me: If wholesale orders from consultants are filled in the …
Written by SuzyQ I read with irony the new ordering contest and bonuses offered by Mary Kay on a regular basis. (They’re all the same. Nothing is “new” in Mary Kay.) Order more and convince your team members to order more and earn a bonus, starting with $100. Order more …
