The Value of One
This is from retired Mary Kay nsd Linda Toupin. People are just numbers. And the best numbers they can be? The ones that have dollar signs in front of them! Linda bases this “Value of One” handout on a director commission of 26%, assuming that the “one” person is a personal recruit.
ONE customer who purchases $450 a year = $225 commission
ONE personal team member who orders $2400 a year (average of $200 per month) = $624 commission
ONE personal team member who orders $7800 a year (average of $650 per month) = $2028 commission
ONE personal team member who is in the national court of sales ($18,000 wholesale a year) = $4680 commission
Your customers and your unit is your immediate income.
ONE 1st line whose unit produces an average of $8000 a month for one year:
= $3840 commission per year @ 4%
= $5760 commission per year @ 6%
As a nsd ONE first line who produces $24,000 a month for one year @ 10% = $28,800 commission
As a nsd ONE first line who debuts after you become a national = $5000 bonus + $1000 bonus each year after that until the nsd or the director turn retire. Example of 20 years = $25,000 in bonuses alone.
If that same ONE offspring produces $10,000 a month production over 20 years @ 8% = $192,000 + $25,000 bonus = $217,000 per offspring.
Your directors are your future and retirement income.
Showing Mary Kay’s true colors again… this really isn’t about people. It’s about numbers and getting more numbers… because that’s the only way you move up in Mary Kay.

Shocking expose here…
Again, documented proof this is all just a recruiting and purchasing game. Actual sales to outside customers, have nothing to do with cashflow at the uppermost echelons of the pyramid.
Exactly! This “career” is all about talking women into buying inventory. Inventory they don’t need and will never sell.
In other words, trat people like ATMs, only it’s their own money they’re pushing out the slot into your wallet.
There is no such thing as ONE in the Mary Kay pyramid except for the ONE on the top. Remember the “one woman can” campaign? The pictures of one woman with hundreds of her downline around her?
I’d love to see the breakdown of how Linda pays the people who help her run “Katie’s” million dollar unit.
Per hour if she’s doing it like she used to. They reported their hours each week/two weeks or month and she paid them hours X rate agreed. Most of them likely make more money from her than they do from their MK business.
With Rodan + Fields shutting down their MLM business model I really hope Mary Kay does the same. The writing has to be in the wall. Numbers are down, consultants are down. If they were to sell directly in Walmart or Target how much more money could they bring in? The business model is crashing and burning fast.
So Linda after that happens, how will that one person look?
I agree the writing is on the wall. So many MLMs have already gone out of business and others are changing how they do business as they are struggling financially. I’m sure it would be so much easier and cost effective to just have an online business without a “sales force.” Apparently MK is going into new markets without having an office with employees. Is a business model without a sales force far behind?
So many “orders”.
And I suspect that Ryan has already figured it out. He just has to wait for the old guard who are 100% MLM to get out of the way. Mark my words, one year after Richard passes they will be retail all the way.
And once the market proves that the products are overpriced junk, he will sell the family business.
The Mary Kay brand……………coming soon to TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Big Lots….
… on clearance… while the consultomers who used to warm stalk in those stores gaze wistfully at it and sigh heavily…
I wonder if she uses this to train Katie’s unit. The rumor is Katie is being investigated for Linda’s involvement in training her unit.
I would love love LOVE for Katie’s unit to be terminated!!!!!!!!!!
She should be. Katie hasn’t done a dang thing except walk across the stage the whole time she’s been in MK. This is a massive and blatant abuse of the system. Which is saying something, given how abusive the system already is.
We should make Katie’s unit our next project. If we can get NSD’s terminated we certainly can get a fake director!
I think only the Dollar Store would carry MK Lol!
Just saw Katie’s speech – her “unit” has done million 29 out of the past 30 years. Her unit has 405 unit members.
78 have been in 10-19 years
96 have been in 20-29 years
32 have been in 30-39 years
3 have been in 40 years
How many hundreds of recruits did she churn in those 30 years? It’s amazing that half her unit is “lifers” with 10+ years in.
