Making Money (or Not) in Mary Kay Cosmetics
Sep 26th 2012, 11:00
Here is an email a Mary Kay nsd sent to her area. The focus here is on making money, which isn’t a bad thought. The problem is that it doesn’t align with reality. Time and again, research shows that 99% of people lose money in MLM. Mary Kay is no exception, even though your recruiter [...]
Pink Truth keeps saying the same thing over and over, so I guess I will keep saying the same thing over and over.  They HAVE NOT proved their statements (such as "99% of people lose money").  They have not proved how awful Mary Kay is.  They just say it over and over again and then call pieces like this "lies" because, in their words, "The problem is that it doesn't align with reality".

The only "claim" that this piece makes is that if you sell to just one client at full price you will make enough money to get your own product free.  That is neither hyper inflated nor dishonest.

Also, that theoretical person would be "losing money" on paper.  Pink Truth makes some good points, but unfortunately, most of them are like this one.  Ill-defined and untrue.
