Is Your Director Calling? It Must Be June!
Written by L J on June 11, 2008 – 4:15 pm -Seminar is coming soon. Can’t you smell it in the air?
If Mary Kay was such a brilliant businesswoman, why did she decide it would be a good idea to hold the company’s annual pageant during the scorching heat of July in Dallas?
It is truly sad to see these swarms of women, “dressed for success” in their wool blazers and director suits. The sweat is pouring off them, yet because they don’t want to seem unprofessional, they don’t dare take off that jacket. No, no, no.
If you haven’t heard from your director in awhile, rest assured you will probably be receiving at least one desperate call from her this month. The Mary Kay year, as far as production is concerned, ends on June 30th. This is make-it-or-break-it time. They have to get thousands of dollars of inventory orders in NOW. And that’s why they’ll be calling you.
It doesn’t matter what is on your shelf now. You need to place an order. Otherwise your director won’t get that ring she’s been counting on or go on that trip she’s been telling you about.
Notice I didn’t say anything about selling.
It’s not about selling. It’s about ordering.
Word to the wise: Unless this stuff is flying off your shelf, keep your credit card in your wallet. Ignore the calls from your director. It’s not about “helping the team.”

Oh yeah, e-mails are FLYING - contests are running! Seminar is close!
Before you order hundreds of $ of product that you DON’T need, to go with the thousands of $ of product on your shelf, spend a little time surfing the “wholesale” distributor’s sites!
The contest ITEM you will WIN when you purchase $ X in June, will probably cost you less than $ 20 on any site anywhere!

Ah yes, sweltering in the July heat in a wool suit, hose and pumps. As the locals pass by and just shake their heads. Now you just know it’s gotta be RIPE in those classes. Yech

LOL I have to say that was kinda funny, Tam!
But I choose to wear a suit when I go to business events cause I want to. Also, haven’t you read the research, articles (not MK affiliated)? A woman who wears make up and a business suit (TASTEFUL LIGHT MAKEUP) earn 30% more? LOL now show me a woman who looks like dog butt that makes much money.
(yes, I know it’s an exaggeration, it was a joke :P)
Also, MK DID try having Seminar in January. No one liked it! They had TWO Seminars that year when they moved it back to July! LOL
Honestly… I’ve been to Seminar 3 times, it’s not bad at all, imo. I have to agree with a girl whose post I read earlier (sorry I don’t remember her name) : is the glass half full or half empty? I’d sit in a scorching hot room in a snowsuit to hear some of the inspired encouragement I recieved from Seminar earlier this month!
