Pink Truth: “Good” Mary Kay Sales Directors

Pink Truth Facts, opinions, and the real story behind Mary Kay Cosmetics.

"Good" Mary Kay Sales Directors Feb 12th 2012, 12:00 One of the frequent arguments we hear on Pink Truth is “my director is a good one” or “I’m sorry you had a bad director, but mine is different!” I believe there are many sales directors who believe they are doing the right thing. They believe they’re helping other women when they involve them in [...]

Sometimes Pink Truth is really confusing.  This is one of those times. First, I am not sure if this woman is saying that she was 'only in it for the money' but had tricked herself into thinking that she was there to help other women, or if she was actually there to help other women and then "realized" thanks to Pink Truth that she was actually just in it for the money.  Either way, if you are incapable of knowing what your motives are, Mary Kay is not the problem. Second, if you think that Mary Kay is "... the only way to “promote yourself” and earn a paycheck is by conning other women into selling crap and snaring other suckers  ..." you should not be selling Mary Kay.  If you LIKE Mary Kay enough to want to sell it, you (might) should get involved with Mary Kay.  If you think it is crap, don't try selling it.  You won't be successful. And once again, one person (or a handful of people) that think Mary Kay products are 'crap' that (shockingly) don't end up successful at it does NOT prove that Mary Kay consists of a bunch of duped people duping people. In fact, ANYONE that claims they don't like Mary Kay products should just SHUT UP already.  You had no business getting involved in the first place.  Just like I would not listen to a BMW salesman that thought BMWs were inferior to Mercedes.  Go sell Mercedes then.  You have no business representing something you dislike. If you LOVE Mary Kay, you will not feel like you are peddling crap to people that are not interested.  You will not feel like you are begging other people to peddle your crap for you.  You will passionately try to convince people to try (or retry) something that you LOVE because you LOVE it.  You will persuasively try to convince friends that also love the product to help you reach more people.  Rejection won't hurt (as much) because you know that you still love the product and that other people have other preferences.
