mary kay at cost
Two Christmases ago, my mom gave me a Mary Kay Starter Kit. It’s the intro kit for new consultants. It came with a bunch of great free product, but also, the ability to purchase MK products at cost. This is awesome, b/c the markup on their products is a full 100%. And i was a pretty consistent customer of their skin-care line.
So, if anyone happens to have a need for MK supplies and wants half-price, let me know in the next week. I do a big order once a year and stock up for myself, and i’m inviting you to take advantage too.
The only downside so far with this Mary Kay thing is that the annoyingly perky consultant who is above me in the ’tree’ occassionally calls me to try and get me revved up about being a Mary Kay consultant. I think she talks to me so infrequently, or has a lot of people beneath her, because she forgetes my answers between calls. One of their most common and persuasive arguments is - “Do you love your job? No? How would you like to do something every day that you just loved?” I think i throw her off when i say yes actually, i do like my job. And it pays well. And by the way, my job is not in sales, which i know i’m not good at. And no matter how you slice it, a Mary Kay consultant is in sales.
She usually refuses to be beaten (you have to admire her spirit) and leaves me with a goal to schedule a class before the end of the next month. OK, chica, whatever. Talk to you next month, when i still won’t have sold anything. Ta-ta!
