I would love to offer my opinions regarding Mary Kay. I am a relatively new Beauty Consultant, but I have been using the products for over 10 years. I was not approached about the opportunity until February of this year where I just signed up for Personal Use. Once I got all the info in the mail, I was so intrigued that I wanted to start selling it part-time. At no time was I pressured into purchasing a large amount of inventory. I purchased just what I was comfortable with (but I did not have to purchase any, nor does any other Consultant). If you choose to pruchase inventory it is easier for your to run your business more efficiently, because you do not have to go back and make deliveries after your skin care classes. This business does work if you work it, you will only be as successful as you choose to be. I am now a "Red Jacket" with 4 team members under me and with one more I will be On-Target for my 1st car, I have never persuaded a Consultant to purchase inventory, I always ask if this is something that she is interested in doing, and if not, I explain what she needs to do when she holds a class regarding her order. I have one of the most AWESOME directors and she would never allow us to pressure anyone into spending any more thatn she can afford. I do know that there are directors out there that will do that and I think it is a real turn off for a new Consultant, especially if she is doing this because she needs the money. The only thing that I suggest that she buy is the Business Kit for New Consultants which is $43 and has all of your pre-printed business cards, your name tag, etc. I beleive that this is so important for generating new business. Anyway, I could go on all night about how awesome this company is, but it is obviously not for everyone.

It's refreshing to hear that you are in a unit which does not pressure inventory choices within 24 hours of sign up like so many units are doing these days in the new "do-it-faster" world of Mary Kay. I've always felt being real with potential recruits, teaching them how to actually SELL the product will gain you respect as a leader. Too often, when consultants feel they were not told the "whole story" by the recruiter, the relationship suffers and the likelihood of losing that business partner increases significantly.
