I started selling Mary Kay a little over a month ago, and I happened to run across your site this morning.

Our first person who didn’t stumble onto the site, Yay! Though I have got to wonder what you were searching for.

I find your site to be extremely one-sided.

And??? First day on the interwebs? Not everything has to cater for the “Happy Happy Joy Joy” crowd.

Of course, not everyone is cut out to run a business, not everyone is cut out to be a Mary Kay consultant, or you would find everyone selling it, if it was sooo (sic) easy.

Then why are we bombarded with such blithe promises such as “executive pay for part-time work”, “work in pockets of your time from your phone” or the ever favourite “products fly off your shelves”?

I am not sure what kind of Sales Directors those people on your site have but they were obviously not of any caliber.

Some of the ladies here were sales directors so they know what went on behind the scenes. They know about the corrupt SDs.

I was never lied to or told that I NEEDED to buy inventory.

I’ll have to take your word for that despite knowing all the ways that sales directors induce you to part with your money.

I still haven’t bought any inventory yet and have already made over $2,000 for my family from Mary Kay.

Is that net or gross?

And I do not have any other source of income.

Really?? Unless you are plants existing on sunlight and carbon dioxide, money is coming into your household from somewhere.

I have three children under the age of four and I don’t have much time to put into my business but I am doing well.

Your definition of “doing well” is different from mine. If you are successful in “earning” $2k per month of net income, you are still only receiving $24k. You’re going to be struggling to support a family of four on that income alone.

I thinkk (sic)your website unfairly takes the positions of those who could not fit into the Mary Kay program and makes it seem like a scam or an illegitimate business.

Then you haven’t actually read many articles. The commentariat have made it plain that they were “successful”. They earned the cars and stars, they walked the stage, they sat in the famous pink bath.

That is a ridiculous thing as I happen to be finding success with this business.

When your business is self-funding and you are consistently earning at least $50k net per annum from sales alone, no down-line or driving a pink caddy with no downline then I’m happy to rethink my position.

But like I said, to each his own, but if you want your cause to be taken seriously, consider talking in facts,

This is how I know that you haven’t read anything in depth here. We produce the facts, we show the numbers and explain them., the screenshots of what the directors are talking about behind the scenes.

Here is Mary Kay Corporation’s own figures for 2022 in Canada. Are those facty enough facts for you?

and not taking the words of a few bitter people and claiming it as the Mary Kay Way.

I must ask you to really spend some time reading here. Take off your rose coloured glasses and read critically and objectively.

Look at the screenshots of how your directors are trying to conspire to hide the changes in packing or the soon to be discontinued items in order to entice their downlines to spend their money this month and then have to repurchase the new improved products next month doubling THEIR profit, not yours.

Read the income disclosure and see just how few are actually making a livable wage after all of their expenses. Read about how many hours a week these ladies put in and how they ignore God and their families in order to focus on their career.

I could go on but you have probably mentally written me off as “bitter”.

Two words for this “successful woman” – WARM MARKET. Come back in a year or so and let’s see how “successful” you are.
