How were you recruited? Tell us all the details.
Filled out questionnaire at my kids daycare. Lady called a week later said I won a free facial (yeah right) and a $20 gift certificate. She wanted me to throw a party probably to torture other people! But most of my friends don’t have the money to buy a stick of gum let alone make-up. So I went to her house and she gave me the demonstration and the bs about how much fun, money blah blah blah. I said that I did not want to sell I just wanted someone to buy the product from. I love the product just don’t want to commit to something. Plus I am not the best people person. Talking in front of a group of people scares me to death and I am not agressive I was raised to know that No means NO! She kept going on and on and so she would let me leave I agreed to take some books and show them to some people. I had no intentions of doing so just wanted to get away from her.
Do you have a memorable experience from your time in Mary Kay? If so, please tell us about it.
The torture that followed me for the next 2 month!!! The lady blew up my cell phone with calls about have I sold anything and wanting me to to come to her meetings. Probably so the other vultures could pounce on me. It got so bad she badgered me and bothered me day and night I told her NO NO NO NO NO!!! But she obviously did not know what the damn word meant! It got so bad I had to change my phone number. Then she shows up at my home wanting to talk to me about the opportunity of a lifetime that I am passing up. I said NO for about the 1,000th time. She just could not get the hint. She had her director call me and I told her the same thing that I had told the other lady she got the point unfortunately Lady 1 still did not get it. I had finally had enough and I had the police tell her to leave me alone. Thats right I called the police and they said that it was considered harrassment and stalking and if she did not leave me alone they would have no other choice but to arrest the bitch. She got the point
What are you doing now?
Working the same job I was when my nightmare began and a single mom to two beautiful children!!!!
Additional Comments:
I still love the product and wish I could find someone that I could buy from without the pressure to sell!!!

So sorry you had to deal with that. Everyone handles clients different ways, but it’s these types of experiences that I feel gives Mary Kay a bad name sometimes. I, for one am not a pushy consultant– I show others the skin care and whatever else they want to see and chances are, they will fall in love and purchase them on their own time. You can tell right off the bat if someone is even on the fence about the thought to join, and if I sense that they really aren’t into it– that’s it. No more questions. If you still are looking for a consultant to buy from with no pressure and no prodding, just let me know. I also have a facebook page where I have special weekly sales.
Feel free to send me an email if you like through my Mary Kay site– (www.marykay.com/nataliebooher) I’d like to give you the pressure free experience that you and so many other fabulous ladies out there are looking for.
I did sign up and my husband was very upset about it. he told me if I wanted to lose money on something I could do anything but Mary Kay. I can’t send my kit back. I guess I will use some of the product. I get two sets of cleansers in there. Do you know whattype skin you have? I would be happy to send it to you. PLease let me now. Trust me I am not in the business and just want to try to sell some of it to recoup the cost of the kit if you know what I mean. My email is bonheb23@gmail.com if you would like to contact me.
You can return you kit if it is unopened for a 90% buy back within 30 days of joining. Just call Mk and tell them you are returning the kit for repurchase and ask them where to ship it to.
Even if you keep some Bonnie, you can return the remaining unopened products for the 90% buy back
If you just want to buy product with no pressure, please feel free to visit my site at http://www.marykay.com/scox-pereira and order. I offer free shipping. I do have several individuals that order off and on as needed and I have never once spoken to them. They expressed right away they love the product but have no interest beyond that and I respect that.
When I was a customer, I shopped around until I found the right consultant that I liked and wanted to do business with. I recruited myself and have been a consultant for 18 years. I operate my business on my terms and my goals. I don’t allow my director to determine my career path. I have recruited and I do so honestly. I want happy customers and happy consultants on my team. If they are not happy, I remind them that their are other options and I don’t really care – I will work with you either way. If you don’t like the products, no big deal, if you don’t like the business, no big deal. I do and I don’t need anyone’s approval or permission. If someone is on the fense about a product, I won’t sell it to them – if I have a sample, I give that instead. Try it and then let me know. I focus on my relationship with my customers and team members. I never want to tear down bridges. We all are grown and need to make choices based on our individual circumstances and there is no room for “pushy”. And, I really don’t understand why people are so dissappointed when they meet a “bad” MK lady. There are bad waitresses, bad cashiers, bad drivers, etc…. not everybody is cut out to be a great MK lady! Make your choices and live with them. Educate yourself and ask a lot of questions. Live your life with your head held high!
If your director is really doing her MK best, she will steer you to going into DIQ if you have a lick of potential and look halfway decent. That’s the WHOLE point of MK: recruit, move up your recruits, move up.
True, there is disappointing service in every area of business. What people find so irritating about MK consultants is their unrelenting pushy-ness which comes from the rah-rah and recruiting push.
Glad you’ve made your MK venture a positive one.
