Mary Kay

[PM_Mama00]

Does anyone else sell Mary Kay? I signed on about a month ago. I'm loving the skin care products and eye shadows. Does anyone have any tips? Pros/cons? I haven't made it to one of the big classes our team leader does weekly but it feels a little sorority-ish.

I do. I signed up back in August. I've been a customer for years and LOVE the products, but I'm really not making that much money off of it. If you dont have the products in stock, you have to order them, and pay shipping, and you dont want to buy just a few things and pay $8 shipping.... I'm at a point where I've decided that I'm just going to keep doing it for the handful of loyal customers I do have, and to get my own products discounted. I'm not doing it hard core because it's just not me.

I don't feel like it's the place to make "a little bit of part time money," which is why I originally signed up. You either recruit people under you so you get commisions off them, or you have to have a large customer base of people who buy products frequently. It's a great company, but the money is not made off the products, it's made off the recruiting.

I've been to the weekly meetings, and it's VERY MUCH like a sorority chapter meeting. They give lots of good tips on how to offer sales and incentives, and how to recruit people to your team. You definitely should go to the meetings to get some pointers.
