You Ladies Conduct Yourself in Non Business Like Ways
A critic of Pink Truth thinks that we don’t take responsibility for our own actions. She’s upset because we call out women who finish directorship with fake consultants and products purchased in their names. The sad truth is that everyone in Mary Kay finishes directorship this way, and they’re taught to do this by their upline.
It is important to note that this consultant believes that doing “30 faces per month” for half a year will sustain director production for the year. It won’t. And you should also know that she says “because I do it”…. yet she is NOT even a director.
Pink Truth is a great look into how someone can create a mess in Mary Kay if they try to buy their way into leadership. How about doing the faces and having fun!! If you did not make a goal oh well? Mary Kay is first about the product and the customers. If you loved that part so much you should have not had this much trouble.
You forced yourself and your will into directorship by “buying” in 7 consultants to finish? That is crazy? how about continuing to grow your unit until you can meet the qualifications on your own. Sounds like you made very stupid financial decisions to buy yourself into leadership! That was you fault not Mary Kay’s fault!
Funny how all of you ladies conduct yourself in non business like ways and then blame it on the company! Really where is your honesty, integrity, and work ethic? If you work your business 1/2 of the year 6 months at 30 faces per month that is enough to sustain directorship production no problem! I know because I do it!! Your fault! Don’t buy it if you did not sell it period!! My director and I do not have a bunch of inventory laying around because we work our businesses the RIGHT way!!!!

Yes, and it is a method encouraged by the higher ranks of directors.
How about doing the faces and having fun!!
You and I have a different idea of fun!!
If you did not make a goal oh well?
f you don’t make a goal, then your up-line makes a loss and then the pressure downwards starts.
Mary Kay is first about the product and the customers.
Mary Kay Wagner Rogers Eckman Weaver Louis Miller Hallenbeck Ash’s company’s is first about recruit, recruit, recruit!! Turn your customers into competitors!! The product is well down the list of purchasable items.
If you loved that part so much you should have not had this much trouble.
True, if you are unwilling or unable to recruit, you’re in trouble!!
You forced yourself and your will into directorship by “buying” in 7 consultants to finish? That is crazy?
Crazy?? But a well relied upon method of progressing up the ✨✨ ladder to success✨✨
how about continuing to grow your unit until you can meet the qualifications on your own.
Because you and I and all of the other members of the commentariat know that you can’t make it that way. Judgious fudging of the figures is a time-honoured tradition in Mary Kay.
Sounds like you made very stupid financial decisions to buy yourself into leadership!
Sounds like you were forced into very stupid financial decisions to buy yourself into leadership! FIFY!
That was you fault not Mary Kay’s fault!
More like the NSDs and other members of the up-lines fault for making it obvious as a way to buy into “success”.
Funny how all of you ladies conduct yourself in non business like ways and then blame it on the company!
There is nothing business like about the MLM model.
Really where is your honesty, integrity, and work ethic?
Filed under basic methods of being a human being.
If you work your business 1/2 of the year 6 months at 30 faces per month that is enough to sustain directorship production no problem!
Sure Jan GIF!
I know because I do it!!
And can you prove this to us?? Or do we have to bee-LIEve you implicitly??
Your fault!
Victim blaming!!
Don’t buy it if you did not sell it period!!
And more victim blaming!!
My director and I do not have a bunch of inventory laying around because we work our businesses the RIGHT way!!!!
Holy Trifecta of victim blaming!! And yes, you both have inventory laying around. You have been successfully trained not to realise the burden of it yet.
Another one who didn’t read a single word on the site before sharing her… wisdom. No doubt she’s just repeating someone else’s erroneous description of Pink Truth. Try using your brain and coming to your own conclusions instead of blindly trusting people who want to keep you fooled to benefit themselves.
“Funny how all of you ladies conduct yourself in non business like ways and then blame it on the company!”
Okay, let’s see your “business-like” bona fides. Please identify someone in Mary Kay who heads up a profitable down-line. Any xSD or recruiter who’s downline (including all current and former consultants) has made more from their Mary Kay business, in aggregate, than they have spent on their Mary Kay business, in aggregate.
This should be easy for you and your “business-like” ways.
We’re waiting….
If she’s truly successful, why is she bothered by Pink Truth?

Yet another dim bulb who doesn’t understand why endless-chain recruiting in an MLM company, aka dream and opportunity selling, is unethical. It’s corrupt no matter how you word it, like “growing a unit”.
(We need a specific article, explaining in detail why MLM recruiting is bad.)
“My director and I do not have a bunch of inventory laying around because we work our businesses the RIGHT way!!!”—
Ummm, the scam business. And since when is there a right way to be a scammer and liar?
Good point Char. Whether you are buying your way up or swindling others to pay for those orders, it’s still a faux business.
The endless-chain is just one culprit. Qualifying minimums are another. Get rid of both and see how long Mary Kay survives.
I think she meant to send this to MK NSDs and directors.
“Really where is your honesty, integrity, and work ethic?”
As mentioned above, it’s right there in the category of being a decent human being.
Nurses have been considered the most ethical and trustworthy profession for the greater part of 30 years. Gallop does the poll; Google it if you don’t believe me. Salespeople are way down the poll, and the poll doesn’t even break it into MLMs and other direct sales groups. I would venture a guess that MLM salespeople and “boss babes” do not rank too highly on the work ethic, trustworthiness, and ethical list.
“How about doing the faces and having fun!!”
Because it’s not fun and we must have a different definitions of what being a make up consultant is and what doing faces means. Because no person wants to apply make up themselves at a supposedly make over/pampering session. Especially if they feel they are horrible at it and are looking for help/tips in how to apply it and what works with best with their face shapes, eye shape,skin tone, check bones, etc…..

How many customers did your director have to recruit to become a director? Why were you recruited instead of being a customer buying products at full price? You contradict yourself.
You can’t climb the MK pyramid ladder just by selling, even if it were a bajillion dollars worth of products to thousands of non-affiliate customers. You, Miss I don’t understand the MLM system, are talking out the wrong end.
– The Huns need to ask themselves why they were recruited instead of being sold products.
– The (few) non-affiliate customers need to ask why they’re paying full price when they NEVER have to.
– If customers don’t have to pay full price, and most know it, you can’t make money retailing the product. But, if you can at least recruit them, you will collect downline commission.
– The company itself offers a personal use consultant 50% off. This is great for good customers, or a group of ladies collectively.
– Aren’t good customers the ones you want? Instead, the company prefers them recruited, and even gives them the same discount….as you.
– If you don’t recruit and just resell, your upline isn’t happy. They don’t make their downline commissions.
– If you can sell the dream, and if you lie and tell marks they can resell products, they will place a bigger order; that gives you and your upline a bigger commission and helps meet goals.
– If you sell this as an opportunity to sell products, you’re a big fat liar – whether you know it or not. And if you don’t know it, you shouldn’t be selling a “business opportunity” to anyone, especially one you’ll make a commission on. Now that’s unethical.
