A Story From a Male Mary Kay Consultant
Your Name: Thomas
Date Joined MK : June 1995
When Left MK or Still Active?: June 1998
Initial Inventory Purchased: 1200.00
How were you recruited?:
I met an MK consultant at a municipal fair who had a booth there with another consultant. At the time, I was selling Avon products. I expressed interest in MK products and their business plan. About two months later I signed up with MK.
Memorable experience you had in MK:
The great weekly sales unit meetings. I loved them! Very useful information on sales, marketing, and presenting information on the products.
What did you learn from MK?:
I learned alot about sales techniques, product presentation, and building your own self-confidence.
What are you doing now? :
I am a waiter. I have a master’s degree, but jobs in my field are scarce.
Additional Comments:
I have fond memories of my time as an MK Consultant, and I was so impressed with the high caliber of women (and one man) whom I associated with in Mary Kay. I can see both the great things, and the negative things, about the company.

Tom,
I had a hard time getting a job with my MA too. The economy sucks. Sadly, MK is not the answer! I worked secretarial jobs while I did freelance stuff on the side to get the experience necessary for a job in my field.
I am an editor now. I promise you this is better than MK. I still do side gigs: freelance proofreading and being an artist’s model (also better and better paying than MK)!
Please, honey, don’t waste your education and your money on that stupid MLM.
Congrats for getting out of MK and welcome!
