Inviting Guests to a Unit Meeting or Guest Night

By L J April 23, 2008 5 Comments

One goal that Consultants are encouraged to adopt is to bring at least one guest to every unit meeting or guest night. Basically, any time there is a Mary Kay function, you are strongly encouraged to bring a guest. Why? Because every Mary Kay event is really designed to recruit new members. Your guests are there to learn about the opportunity. The purpose is to get them excited about Mary Kay, answer their questions and overcome any objections they may have to starting their own Mary Kay business.

The following are some suggested scripts to use to invite a guest. We’ve added our own special twist to them 😉

Inviting Your Hostess

“(Hostess’ Name), each week I select one person from the past week who has been the most instrumental in helping me build my business to attend our upcoming unit meeting. This week I have chosen you because (insert sincere reason here), and I would like you to introduce you to some of my Mary Kay friends. Is there any reason why you couldn’t attend our meeting on Monday night and allow me to give you the recognition and attention you deserve? I would be honored to have you join me, and I would love for everyone to hear what a wonderful (class/collection preview/show) you held for me! Can I pick you up around 5 p.m.?”

Did you survive that one? Here’s another.

Inviting Your Guest from An Appointment

“Hello (customer’s name/customer’s dog’s name). This is (your name, your pig Latin name), your Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. Do you have a quick minute? Great! You know, (customer’s name/day of week), you have been on my mind ever since Linda’s (skin care class/collection preview/party/lobotomy). Although a Mary Kay business may or may not be for you, I’d like you to be my special guest at our unit meeting (or guest night or ugliest customer night) Monday night at 7 p.m. I can pick you up on my way. Is there any reason you couldn’t attend?”

One more, if you’re still reading.

Inviting Your Customer

“Hi, (customer’s name), this is (your name), your Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. Do you have a quick minute? Great! I’ve been challenged by my Independent Sales Director to bring five (sharp/gorgeous/fun/annoying) guests to my Mary Kay event Monday night, and of course, I immediately thought of you! It’s lots of fun, and I’d love to introduce you to all my Mary Kay friends. Plus, I’ll have a nice gift for you. Is there any reason why you wouldn’t want to come? Great! I’ll pick you up around 6 p.m. If you’ll wear an outfit in a color you particularly like or wear a lot, we will put together a fabulous look just for you. Thanks, and I’ll see you Monday at 6 p.m.!”

    I just remembered another “con” from my mk days.

    My original consultant told me how she was “trained” to recruit new people.

    When she was desparate for sales she would hang out in supermarkets looking for “easy” women. She would accidentally bump into the women who appeared to be looking for something and ask her where an item might be in the store. It was whatever the woman was standing next to or looking at.

    Then to “thank” her for helping her find the item, she would give her a “free facial”, and get the womans phone number and call her to come to the next meeting.

    I guess this scam was pretty successful. Well at least she didn’t hang out in front of banks and rip off the elderly……………………whoops………….better not give them any ideas!

    Those types of recruiting maneuvers are pretty commonly taught. Accosting women in supermarkets or Wal-Mart, especially those browsing the cosmetics isles, is a particular favorite. I’ve been a victim of that myself several times. Yuck!

    Idk if you all just didn’t work your business or have such a bad aditude that nobody likes you. Because I have been in Mary Kay for 6 months I have doubled my income from owning my own cleaning company have recruited several of my friends and they also have doubled their income and at the same time I have never stood in a store and intentionally bumped into people to try to get facials if you do the leg work and you text people the phone numbers that you are given from your facials then your business will grow the right way

      I totally agree with you. I have been in my business for over a year now and I have never “accidentally” bumped into someone at a store. If you work your business you do not need to stalk people in stores to make money.

      I love my Mary Kay business and I am sorry to those that didn’t see it as a successful way to make money or enjoy your life.
