Pink Truth: Anyone Can Succeed in Mary Kay

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

Anyone Can Succeed in Mary Kay Mar 31st 2012, 14:35 Recently a pro-Mary Kay woman attempted to post the following comment on this site: What does it matter how many people drive a pink Cadillac or how few people make alot of money? Most people in most businesses fail because of numerous reasons… Mainly they don't work hard enough. As long as the guidelines are [...]

This is so ridiculous on so many levels, I think I will just create a list: 1. Once again, using an extreme "pro" Mary Kay comment to make all "pro" Mary Kay people look ridiculous. 2. Breaking a world record and being a successful sales person are not the same thing. 3. The MLM model of constant recruiting does not apply to Mary Kay the way Tracy would like everyone to believe.  There is a product and people do like the product.  Pink Truth likes to (*lie) say that no one is buying the product.  They have no proof of this though and if you know someone that sells Mary Kay (really sells it, not trying to cheat their way to a paycheck) they can show you plenty of people that love it and buy it from them. 4. Tracy "demonstrates how little Caddy drivers make" by taking away $100K (of $150K) in irrational "expenses" and thus "proves" that they only make "beans" (50K).  This is NOT a strong arguments by any means.  But when she states it the way she does here, it sounds profound. 5. She naturally says that (#4) this proves how impossible it is for almost everyone.  But if #4 is not true then it proves nothing.  And that is the problem with Pink Truth.  Their "truth" is a shaky house of cards built entirely of lies and half-truths. 6. Still ranting about directors making middle management wages, but with Pink Truth's other favorite adage, "everyone cheats".  This is ridiculous on two levels.  1. If no one on Pink Truth is calling her out on this than either A. They did in fact, "all cheat", or B. Are fully aware of what I say on here all the time, "disagree with Tracy and risk expulsion from her secret club". 2. If everyone cheats, then Pink Truth has nothing to level against Mary Kay corporate (as they claim to be all about) because EVERYONE is breaking the rules.  If everyone were following Mary Kay's rules and not succeeding, than Tracy may have an argument.  But if her claim is that everyone is cheating, than what fault is it of Mary Kay corporate? 3. Not everyone cheats.  It has long been my suspicion that the majority of people on Pink Truth cheated or tried to 'work the system', and now blame everyone but themselves. This confirms my suspicion that much more. 7. "Almost no one will even turn a profit. That is the truth behind MLM."  Again, no proof - just a passionate statement that we are to believe at their word. 8. Then the minions come in with their praises of Tracy.  "Thank you SO much Tracy for these precious truths that you share with us".  (Cult much?)
