Mary Kay on Earnings Representations
Mary Kay Inc. attempts to cover itself on the issue of earnings… often inflated during recruiting pitches and guest events.
One of my many complaints with this product-based pyramid scheme is the pervasiveness of false earnings claims. Mary Kay sales directors parade around “high checks” and imply that those are normal checks. They brag about executive incomes, but fail to mention that the majority of sales directors are making $20,000 a year or less. They conveniently forget to mention business expenses when talking about commission checks and 1099s.
Mary Kay Inc. is doing a great job of covering itself by telling consultants and directors to be truthful in their earnings representations. The unfortunate thing is that Darrell and gang know that the misrepresentations happen all the time, and Mary Kay Inc. is the beneficiary of those untruths. From the June issue of Applause magazine:

All of those ladies trying to become directors are making a nice lovecheck for Jaime!! They really have no clue…
My director called me today to “check in” with me. She genuinely cares about me and wants to make sure…
Any of the online "take home pay" calculators can do the math. Even the high tax Massachusetts will get you…
One of my biggest mistakes was when I was in Chelsea's customer group on FB and she created a second…
We also wonder why Jamie and Chelsea blocked my personal profiles on FB and IG!!!! LOL
