The Inventory Con Game in Mary Kay
Apr 10th 2012, 11:00
Written by Anonymous Do you really need all that inventory? Do you really “profit” 50% on inventory you sell? No and no. But they sure make it sound good, don’t they? Now, Vice President of Legalized Larceny for Mary Kay, says, “Let’s Talk About The ‘Inventory’ Con Game”! Profit Margin Below is a quick table [...]
This anonymous post writer sure seems to know exactly what he/she is talking about.  Problem is, I can't follow his/her logic to save my life.

The one thing I do know after reading this article is that if it is as difficult to make money in Mary Kay as Pink Truth would like you to believe than all those people out there that are making money must be miracle workers!

Of particular note in the "let's be nasty and mean" department, this anonymous writer opines that the majority of Mary Kay recruits are "bored housewives, young women, and undereducated women".  Aside from denigrating those that stay home to take care of the family, those that are young and those that have not been to college, this certainly assaults the character of those in Mary Kay and (oops) those in Pink Truth.  Wonder why no one will call him/her out on that!?

Of particular note is the inventory discussion.  "No one will mind waiting 4-5 business days"?  In what world?  If I order something online, maybe.  Otherwise, the reason I DIDN'T order online is because I want it NOW.  Not saying that you need a house full of inventory, but having things on hand to hand to clients is beneficial.
