I somewhat agree with what you are saying about the rules. However this company was built on honesty and integrity. Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. And that is what is taught at all of the Success Meetings.
Whether consultants make this a pyramid scheme or not, that is not how it was intended by Mary Kay Ash when she started the company. Nor how it is being run now.
So no matter if the rules are to be obeyed on a honor system, and noone at Mary Kay Corp. looks into the orders to see how and who placed them, if a consultant deliberately goes against the rules, not only is it WRONG, they SHOULD have a sense of guilt that will bear heavy on them.
Also, I did not make it clear in my post, but this person had all of the products mailed to her, not the consultants under whom she placed the order for. So she not only got the recognition, she got the products as well.
Below is the rules and requirements set forth by the company. I copied and pasted them directly from the Mary Kay Intouch site. No changes by me have been made. Please review and maybe you will see it differently. (the ladder part is about the ordering policies)
DURING QUALIFICATION
The DIQ may qualify as an Independent Sales Director in one, two, three, or four months, based on when she achieves the following:
$16,000 cumulative wholesale production "30 total active unit members" (To count toward this requirement, none of your team members can be any of the following; your spouse, the spouse of a team member, a current DIQ (during your qualification) or a current Sales Director.) $4,000 per month minimum wholesale unit production to continue qualifying (even if you've reached $16,000 total.) The DIQ’s unit members must contribute at least $12,000 toward the $16,000 wholesale production requirement.
The DIQ may contribute up to $4,000 in personal wholesale Section 1 production toward the $16,000 cumulative wholesale production during the qualification period.
As part of qualification requirements, the DIQ agrees to attend the new Independent Sales Director Education program in Dallas.
The qualifying unit is comprised of the DIQ and her personal team members, regardless of their unit affiliation (with the exception of personal team members who already may be Sales Directors or in qualification to become a Sales Director). The unit also includes team members’ recruits whose Agreements are accepted by the Company on or after the first day of the month in which the DIQ begins Sales Director qualification. Team members’ recruits whose Independent Beauty Consultant Agreements were accepted by the Company prior to her first month of qualification remain in the parent unit.
Should the DIQ’s qualifying unit fail to reach 30 active members and/or the required sales amounts, she has not qualified and is required to submit a new Commitment Form to begin qualification again (immediately, if she chooses and is eligible). Your Team Members’ recruits will not become a part of your new qualifying unit.
A Sales Director is an independent contractor and not an employee of Mary Kay Inc. The Sales Director position is appointed at the sole discretion of Mary Kay Inc.
The DIQ understands that:
In the event anyone places an order on behalf of a Consultant, the following applies:
The person placing the order must have Consultant’s consent prior to placing order; The person placing the order must use Consultant’s funds; and The person placing the order must be in possession of Consultant’s funds prior to placing order.
Taking a postdated check and placing an order for a Consultant will not count.
A Consultant selling the DIQ’s inventory and then placing the order will not count.
The DIQ cannot sell her inventory to a Consultant and take his/her money to place an order to replace the DIQ's inventory.
If the DIQ uses her credit card to pay for a Consultant’s order, the DIQ must have already received the cash from the Consultant before the order is mailed, phoned, placed via the Mary Kay InTouch ® Community or taken to the branch.
The DIQ cannot place an order for a Consultant with his/her promise to pay the DIQ back.
