A Little Taste of Seminar

Are you sad because you weren’t walking around Dallas in July’s 100+ heat wearing a “sharp” wool blazer?

Well wipe those tears, missy!

Here’s a little snippet of all the excitement and inspiration you missed at Seminar this year, complete with the final candlelight (pen light) ceremony.

Now can someone explain to me why those not-so-sharp guys in this video are dancing ?


Is Your Director Calling? It Must Be June!

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.”
