I received an email one day from a Mary Kay consultant telling me that they made $80,000 selling Mary Kay last year.The educated skeptic in me doubts it highly, but if true, good for her.

However, let’s look at some numbers. In order to make $80,000 in Mary Kay, you would have to sell at least $160,000 retail at full price. And have NO expenses.

Since having no expenses except for inventory is impossible, that means your total retail sold would have to be much higher in order to have a profit of $80,000.

That would be some incredible sales and put this person in some very rare percentage of consultants.

But I have to wonder…

Is she selling that much or making that much?
