Okay...okay
Lets set the record straight:
To start a Mary Kay business you need 100.00 plus shipping (8.00) and sales tax on 100.00 here in MA it would be 5%. You get everything you need to do 30 + faces with over 300.00 in full retail size product. You make that back with your first facial. The price for the starter kit has stayed the same for years now (over 10 I think, but don't want to state something I am not sure of). A very small investment to see if it is right for you. And if it is not, you can keep the 300 dollars worth of product for yourself or sell it to friends and make a profit on it... whatever!
2nd: To become active, you place a 200.00 whol sale order (400.00 retail - where You make 200.00 after selling it). Your profit, everyone's profit is 50%. An even playing field. I think you have 3 or 4 months to do this, and if you don't, then you become inactive. When you want to reactivate, you pay like a 10.00 fee. To remain active, the absolute minimum you have to purchase is $200.00 wholesale in a year to remain active,again that is 400.00 retail. Sell your product for 400.00 that you purchased for 200.00. With this, you receive a magazine every month with encouragement, new product info and what not. There are unit meetings everywhere but you are not required to go, you have no boss, and can get all the info you need on-line or through the monthly magazine. Your recruiter is not your boss, your director is not your boss. This is your business... you can buy the product and give it away or sell it to your friends at wholesale price or just use it for yourself and get the discount. No rules on that.
3rd: We don't sell in stores for a few reasons. Mary Kay Ash built the company on personal contact. We teach and share and offer personalized service. This is an in-home product. Also, if we sold in stores, it would raise the price drastically as it would if we advertised.
4th: You don't have to recruit, it depends on where you want to go and what you want to make. It is not a pyramid scheme. If I recruite someone, and she sells 400.00 in one month, the company then sends me a percentage of that sale. It does not come out of the consultants earnings.
You can make this company whatever you want and do whatever you want. Become a consultant for personal use and get products at wholesale, have a class a week an make 50-100 per hour, recruit and make more and earn the use of 1 of 3 of the cars Mary Kay has to offer. If you want to go far and fast up the ladder, there are always peers and directors who will hold your hand and take you there. It is really ... ALL ABOUT YOU!
