My friend wants me to get into Mary kay?

Question

Just wondering if it is worth it to get into Mary Kay. I was in Melaleuca a last year and found it extremely difficult. I am kind of a quiet person and don't hve a large social circle. My friiend has just gotten into Mary Kay and would like me to attend some functions. Any advice

Thanks

Answer 1

I would tell her that you are not interested in selling anything, but you may be interested in attending an event. Make sure she understands that you do not want to sell.
A person has to be assertive to become successful in the sales business. Also, the competition is fierce and it can change a person. One of my closest friends got into selling some kind of cookware that would cost around $2000 if you bought the whole set! The company had this scheme where the seller (she) would invite someone over for dinner. When you got there, thinking you were going to have dinner with a friend, you got a meal along with a sales pitch. She invited people from work (we work together), people were coming to me angry and insulted. I tried to talk to her, but that did not work. To put it mildly, it was a nightmare! Anyway, eventually she gave it up and came back to normal. The bottom line is don't let her talk you into anything that you are not interested in. Good luck.

Answer 2

I agree with the rest of the posters.

1. Do you enjoy selling stuff? Do you enjoy walking up to people you've never met, and doing a makeover on them? If not, then Mary Kay isn't for you.

2. Your friend is already selling to your mutual friends. Do you have lots more friends and relatives that she hasn't reached yet? If not, then you have no natural market, and all of your sales will be to strangers.

3. Of 100 ladies that try Mary Kay, I'm betting that only 2 are in business a year later, and neither is making much money at it.

It does sound like the best advice would simply be to say, "gosh, I've got a date that year" or something and get out of it. She'll be out of Mary Kay in another 2-3 months anyway.

Answer 3

i understand an exceptionally aggressive one too. i'm particular she is an exceptional lady, yet she is so pushy together with her MK stuff that it has truly grew to become me against being a chum to her. I joined a team to flow on coaching walks for the Weekend to end females's maximum cancers walk that i'm occurring in September, and he or she is interior the gang, it is the place we met. Now i won't stand her so now i've got no longer been occurring the gang walks, that's in basic terms too undesirable via fact is lots greater exciting to stroll in a team than it is on my own - and there are no longer the different team walks on the threshold of me.

Answer 4

Forget it. You have to push, push, push. If you are quiet with no social circle you will waste your money on a demo kit and never sell anything. It is for some people. It is not for you! (or me)

Answer 5

You have to see WHY you might want to get into Mary Kay.
If she's trying to get you to be one of her distributors so that she can earn points towards her rewards, then I would seriously suggest that you reconsider.

Answer 6

You are going to have to just tell her you are not interested. If she insists, you are going to have be very firm w/her. A true friend will not push you into doing something you don't want to.

Answer 7

Don't do it unless you are a sociopath with no formal education.

It's Amway with good make-up. But not as good as Helene Rubenstein or Max Factor...

Answer 8

She wants you to help her make money. Stop wasting your time and use the time to get a second or better job, and/or get more formal education.

Answer 9

If you are not a very outspoken person it might not work , and you also have to but the starter kit . it's too expensive to buy

Answer 10

probably not.

i like mary kay make-up though/
