Date Joined MK: 1995

When Left MK or Still Active?: 1996

Initial Inventory Purchased: $750

How were you recruited?:

One of my co-workers brought me in.

Memorable experience you had in MK:

Seeing the director receive her Pink Cadillac! Also, I got recognition for winning the Healing Hands competition.

What did you learn from MK?:

The weekly meetings were actually a chore for me and the rallying and cheering felt insincere… even at the regional meeting I attended. I was actually reconsidering joining today - in light of the real estate market, I’m looking for something extra/different to do - but as I remembered how distant I felt in the weekly pep rallies, I know I need to continue my search. I’m glad I stumbled on this website to get me back to reality.

Initial Inventory Purchased: $1800.00

How were you recruited?:

My neighbour had a “party” where her director sat around and wanted to learn what we knew about MK. In other words she was there to “educate” (recruit) us. I said no that night. Then I went to one of those dinner and a makeover event…once again they tried to recruit me, I still said no. Then greed got the best of me when my neighbour’s director (soon to be my director) said “but why wouldn’t you want to get your own products at half price?” Boom, signed up and with in two weeks the brilliant con artist of a director had convinced me that I would be “great in sales” (Gag!)

A friend of mine from church recruited me. I had a facial and I told her that I recently quit my job. She told me about Mary Kay and invited me to an workshop that evening. I signed up there.

Getting the products at half price and earning money.

Tell us about one of your most memorable or embarrassing situations while in Mary Kay
Realizing that although I am an intelligent person, I had been stupid enough to fall for all the contests that MK runs to “encourage” consultants to buy more inventory.

Name: Andrea

Date Joined MK: 01/2007

Highest Level Achieved: Sr. Consultant

When Left MK Or Are You Still Active: November 2007

Initial Inventory Purchased: $1800

How were you recruited?

I was recruited through a co-worker. I had recently lost my consultant, and the woman who recruited me sent an email to the staff letting us know that she was having a holiday sale. I was running low on powder, and let her know that I needed some. When she dropped the product off in my office, she invited me to the weekly meeting as a guest model. I agreed and went. Afterwards, I stayed and listened to the marketing plan for the free toe polish I would receive. I didn’t think I would sign, but the next day I did. I thought this was something that was going to be great! Little did I know that it would almost ruin many relationships.

How were you recruited?
An old friend, who seemed to really have my best interest at heart. All I heard about was the potential for on going success, while only having to work part time. How MK was based on God and Family, and everyone’s willingness to help me succeed.

The opportunity to “own my vey own business”, and run it the way I wanted. To be able to work from home and raise my children. To finally have financial freedom.
