A former Mary Kay consultant comes clean about her interactions with her customers. The truth behind the pink… false compliments, recruiting and sales tactics, ulterior motives, false earnings claims… all the norm in Mary Kay when someone is trying to move up! I probably used a “sincere sounding” compliment when …
