Another Loser Mary Kay Team… Want to Join?
Written by Parsonsgreen
Anastasia Syzmkowski is a second line director in the Jamie Taylor national area underneath Megan Coleman. In 2021, she had promoted herself to Cadillac Sales director.
However, she had lost it by the time Jamie had her 2022 Losers on a Beach retreat for her Cadillac directors.
Later that year, she was trying to qualify for another Cadillac, but failed.
Anastasia is still plugging along desperately trying to make Mary Kay work. In June, she was just SURE that 40 women would come together.
Unlikely, especially sine she doesn’t get much response to her invites.
No one showing up to her events….
And now she needs our help to find her joy.
Seeing how difficult it is for her to maintain her status and get people to show up for events, would you want to join Anastasia’s team? (Note: It’s not just her. This happens across the board in Mary Kay.)

“I am pushing for a huge goal with my business…if you’re like, ‘How can I help?’…”
This is not how real businesses work. For starters, it’s all about what the product can do for the customer, not what the customer can do for the sales rep. Then, when it comes to motivate sales, you offer something compelling, like BOGOF, deep price discounts, bonus items etc..
Asking your customers to help you achieve a personal financial goal is no different than begging for handouts. This is not a sustainable path to prosperity. Even panhandlers know you have to approach strangers, as your warm market dries up quickly. That’s the problem with MLM…it fouses on the charity of F+F, which is not sustainable. Every successful retailer knows you must sell to strangers, and lots of them. The problem is folks don’t buy these over-priced MLM products from strangers. Which is why recruiting is the only viable path to profitability in MLM.
And if recruiting is required for you to turn a profit…well, just don’t call it a pyramid scheme!
She doesn’t understand how business works and she doesn’t understand how friendship works. Defining a “friend” as someone who will attend a lame event designed to sell her over priced products is far from authentic.
Just bought a new vehicle recently. When I went in to the dealership, I can assure you I did not ask the salesperson “What do you need me to buy to help you hit your goal?”
*The only thing you need to be able to play along is to not have a mary kay consultant that isn’t me!

Is it just me, not comprehending, or is this a painfully fractured attempt at saying you can’t participate if she isn’t your mk consultant?
“The pink bubble is where I was made to be.” At once disturbing and telling. This statement alone is insight into the level of brain washing and cultishness* that occurs at MLMs.
*Yes, I made that word up; taking a cue from the Friday Critics playbook.
I’ve never used the term “bubble” when talking about where I worked and the only time I used it in my personal life was in 2020 like a lot of other people in describing my household.
The main message I get from Anastasia’s posts is that she excels at emotional manipulation with a very poor grasp on the meaning of “friend”.
That post about Texas is so delusional. Texas folks are friendly, but we don’t hold with turning our relationship into an MLM shill.
These are the kind of stories on this website I enjoy reading, about specific people posting on Facebook regarding Mary Kay, and being able to read right through them and see their desperation. What kind of legitimate business asks its customers to “help” as if they are running a funding drive like they are a charity. Pathetic.
Some of the hashtags in the first screenshot are interesting. As is her photo on her Mary Kay page.
So, if you decide to “give yourself a promotion” by earning the Cadillac, when you lose said Cadillac does that mean you decided to give yourself a DEmotion? 🤔 Hmmm.
It’s known as “Boss Babe Logic”.
I really understand her desire for friendship. I DO NOT consider going to a mlm event a place for friendship to be nurtured. In fact, it’s the opposite. When I first came to our church, I was invited to lots of mlm recruiting events disguised as a party. I would politely share that I don’t attend house gatherings that involved something being sold because of my position in the church. I shared that if I go to one, another might be offended that I didn’t go to theirs. Whelp…pretty soon invites to anything dropped to zero. It told me that I probably offended the huns or that in my new community women don’t get together at someone’s house just to hang. Maybe both.
It’s been 13 years now. I have some good relationships with women from church and I don’t get invited to parties. It’s really made me think as to how much women want connections with other women. Without an mlm or a bible study attached to it, women here rarely do things together (unless it’s a baby/bridal/birthday, etc. party). I often miss my old church where we would determine a crazy theme and party at someone’s house (yes, alcohol free too!). They were so much fun.
Try holding parties without an ulterior motive. People know when you want to be around them for THEM and when you want something, and don’t like being used.
So she admits that she has lost her joy (since she is begging for help finding it again), and then, in the next paragraph she asserts that “skincare” (ie, Mary Kay) has changed her life. That it has, Anastasia. That it has.
The desperation is palpable. Not a good way to create a party atmosphere.
Looking at her FB page, she also uses the worn out “strategies” of:
— Adopt a Grandparent
— After-sun lotion “for our military serving in the desert”
— Chemo-Care Packages
Oh, and asking people to drive to her house so they can “try products on the back of their hands”…ummm…NO.
Cool, if I leave tomorrow at 8am and drive with minimal stopping I could be in Fort Worth by 5 pm or so on Wednesday.
Assuming this is her only Facebook page and not one she created separately for her business, EVERY single post is about Mary Kay (at least as far back as I went), nothing about family or day to day life. She lives, eats and breathes pink I guess. It’s her choice but that’s sad and hope she realizes there is more to life.
But really it’s all they got. They’re told they’re going to get training and someone will tell them how to sell this crap. These tired old gimmicks are it. And they don’t work. They might get you a couple of sales on the front end, but they’re not sustainable sales strategies and all of the higher ups know this. But it’s the only thing they have and it gives the appearance of being a legitimate sales strategy.
“These tired old gimmicks are it. And they don’t work.”
– Approach family and friends for their “love and support.”
– Use the “I’ve got a huge goal” and “I’m going right to the top!” scripts.
– Run the fund-raising and “pull at the heart-strings” scams…like Adopt a Grandparent.
– Have continuous sales, contests and promotions with discounts and freebies.
– Pretend you are “this close” to a MK car or trip
– Play the “Vulnerability Card.”
– Put out Fishbowls.
– Beg.
– Lie your pants off.
– Repeat.
So she had a Caddy 6-9 months? That’s embarrassing!
Gotta wonder now: what does MK do if you crash an MK-issued car?
No worries, you have insurance (that you are forced to purchase through MK, so they can make some money on that too…
