Imagine for a moment... If your spouse came home and told you... a professional employment agency has offered him a new career opportunity with a prestigious company with no risk involved. They have a #1 selling product. The company is consistently listed as a Top 10 company to work for. Their marketing plan is sound and is studied at Harvard Business School. He will have an opportunity for unlimited income in a positive work environment which will be great for his personal growth. He can promote himself at his own pace, achieving a leadership position in as little as 1 month. There are no territories so you would be free to live where ever your family desires. He can make 100% profit on his personal sales PLUS up to 26% commission on other people he brings into the company and bonuses of 10% of his team's production. They offer a company car program where he can earn a car his first month and a new one every 2 years. He can earn luxury trips, all expenses paid for himself and you. He will enjoy many many prizes for just doing his everyday duties. He will qualify for a significant family security retirement plan when he reaches the highest level of managment. On top of all that, he will be encouraged to keep his life in balance with his spiritual life first, his family second and his business third in his priiorities! And through his business, he will know he has made a positive difference in other people's lives!
Would you encourage him to accept the opportunity? OF COURSE you would!
Well that prestigious company is Mary Kay and I am ready to offer YOU that amazing career opportunity! Read on, let me tell you a little more .....

The Mary Kay Opportunity

The Mary Kay business opportunity is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s not a scam. And it’s certainly not a pyramid! It is a solid, proven business that can greatly increase your standard of living! It’s true! Mary Kay Ash (our founder) is widely known as one of the most influential and successful business people of all time. In 1963, Mary Kay took $5,000 of her own money and turned it into what is today a multi-BILLION dollar company and the nation’s leader in skin care & cosmetic sales. Why did she do it? To Enrich Women’s Lives . That’s all. Not to make a profit. Mary Kay wanted to create an opportunity for women to be paid what they were worth, not what someone else thought they were worth. And I’m here to tell you, this business works if you do! I started my business less than 3 years ago, and today my family enjoys a lifestyle that we may never have had otherwise!

So, how do we make our money?

No, I’m not a mind-reader! But it’s the first question I asked when I heard about Mary Kay. We all know that money can’t buy you happiness, but it can certainly help with the choices you make in life, right? Whether you just want a few hundred extra bucks a month, or if you would like to make over $100,000 a month as some Mary Kay National Sales Directors do, everyone in Mary Kay can earn money the same 2 ways:

1) Product Sales
Whether you just signed up an hour ago, or if you’ve been in Mary Kay for 45 years, everyone in Mary Kay gets a 50% discount on Mary Kay products. We buy them direct from Mary Kay for $1 and we sell them for $2, so to speak. This means if you hold a skin care class (our most common way to educate women about our products and produce sales) that has $400 in sales (VERY typical), you come out $200 ahead. Not bad for 2 hours work! Using that math, 2 classes per week would equal $800 extra cash for you every month. Can you get excited about that? I can!
But maybe you do not want to hold "parties" ... Many consultants just take orders and re-orders .. and pass out samples to encourage new customers. As your Director I will help you learn about the best way to grow your business and market the products in a way that makes you money... and fits into your wants, desires and your lifestyle.

2) Commissions ~ You have UNLIMITED earning potential!
When you begin to build your team and introduce other women to the Mary Kay career opportunity, Mary Kay rewards you by paying you in cash (and prizes!) out of corporate profits. The amounts that they pay you are based on the orders of your team. It’s a simple plan, really! They have this money to give you because you led the team that brought it in! This money does not come out of the pockets or sales of anyone on your team—Mary Kay gives it to you directly as a thank you out of THEIR pocket. Want an example? For one month, my personal best Mary Kay commission check was OVER $10,500 !!! This was in addition to my product sales that month. As you can see, it doesn’t take a hundred years to make things happen! This may sound too good to be true, but it’s not! Like I said, this business works if you do ! Need more proof? Our Top 500 Directors commissions are published every month our company magazine, Applause!
As if it couldn’t get any better, Mary Kay SHOWERS us in prizes! They give away MILLIONS of dollars every year in diamonds alone, as well as luxurious vacations all around the world! I am working on earning the top Director trip where Mary Kay will take my husband and me on an all-expenses-paid 5 Star.. TOP of the Line... World Class TRIP! This promo is offered to our Directors. Each year we have the opportunity to earn the trip! And of course there’s the "Pink Cadillac" , the trophy on wheels! But that’s okay if you don’t want to drive a pink car—Mary Kay will give you $900 a month CASH instead! There are 7 career cars offered ... so... you get to pick ! Seriously, I could go on and on here, but I think you get the picture!

BUT! It’s not all about money...
To be honest with you, I did start my Mary Kay business for the money. It was my sole motivation! But what I discovered was that it was SO MUCH MORE! Mary Kay Ash founded this company based on the Golden Rule and the principles of God first, Family second and Career third. She wanted to establish a career opportunity that would enrich women’s lives. And that it does! Here are just a few of the benefits that you will enjoy as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant:

1) Flexibility
When you become a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant, you own your own business. That means you get to set your own hours! You work when you want to work. I started my Mary Kay business on 3-5 hours a week that I squeezed in around a full-time job and graduate school. Because I was able to decide when I could fit Mary Kay in, I was able to control my schedule. And it has definitely paid off! Now, because of Mary Kay, I don’t have that constricting job, and I can work when I want to work. There’s nothing better than wearing pajamas all day on a Thursday... or not having to set an alarm!!

2) Friends For Life!
Making friends was the last thing on my mind when I started my business! But the friendships I’ve made with my Mary Kay girlfriends will be with me my whole life! Imagine this: You get to choose who you work with! But when you love what you do, and you do it with your closest friends, wouldn't you agree that you never work another day in you life??? The joy that comes from helping other women enrich their lives and realize their dreams is too great to put into words! Can you believe that you can earn an executive income while reaching out to others? Wow!

   

3) Personal Growth
There are countless stories of consultants who have developed personally in ways that they would have never believed possible ! From increased self-confidence to developing leadership skills to spiritual growth, the Mary Kay way of praising people to success fuels all types of personal growth!
“God didn't have time to make a nobody, only a somebody. I believe that each of us has God-given talents within us waiting to be brought to fruition.” — Mary Kay Ash

4) Tax Benefits
Our government wants to encourage small business growth, so as small business owners, we get great benefits because we run home-based businesses. This means that you will pay less in taxes because of the tax deductions you get. There are WAY too many to mention here, but they include deducting a portion of your housing expenses (including maintenance expenses & housekeeping!), automobile expenses, and even dining out!

OK... you are probably thinking, "I just don't have time."
I can tell you for sure, busy people do the very best in this business! So you will be great! Most people have a full time demanding job when they start Mary Kay. As your Director I am great at showing you how to weave this into your daily routine without spending a lot of time you do not have. People will stop you and ask for re-orders when they realize you can get their Mary Kay products for them. It is pretty cool to get a $100 - $200 re-order and only spend 10 minutes of your time! But really, don't we make time for the things we want to do? I know I do.

Let me guess: You’re not the sales type, right?
90% of the people in Mary Kay have never sold a thing in their lives! Not even Girl Scout Cookies! And we are definitely NOT the sales type. Luckily, this business is about building relationships, providing quality products and offering valuable services. Mary Kay teaches you to be informative, not pushy. Mary Kay consultants are really more like teachers than sales people. The Mary Kay products sell themselves, we just have to educate our customers about them! If you’re teachable and trainable, you can do it! As your Director I will help you learn about the best way to grow your business and market the products in a way that makes you money... and fits into your wants, desires and your lifestyle.

So where do the customers come from?
Here I am, still reading your mind! Not really—this just happens to be the #1 question most people have! Mary Kay provides the education and tools necessary to build clientele who want the products and personal service you have to offer. And those customers will keep coming back to you! Did you know that the average woman spends more than $600-$700 per year on the products that you could provide her through Mary Kay? Make-up is only part of the product line Mary Kay offers! A large part of our business is skin care: moisturizers, anti-aging products, etc. Did you know that we offer other things, too? From fragrances to lotions to men’s products, Mary Kay has the products to appeal to the widest range of customers!
So who are your potential customers? People with skin! And as a Mary Kay consultant, you get all the products you use at 50% off! Many women become consultants just for personal use!

How do you get started?
I’m glad you asked! The startup cost is only $100 + tax & shipping! I don’t know about you, but I have $100 fly out of my purse every time I drive by Target...but seriously, the cost is EXTREMELY minimal when you compare it with what you get in your Starter Kit/ Showcase! Starter Kit! Click Here to see a flyer of the SHOWCASE! You get full-sized products valued at more than $300 retail, enough supplies to facial 30 customers and a stylish black leather tote bag! Plus the intangibles that come along with your Mary Kay business are invaluable! Here are just a few of the things that I “pulled” out of my Starter Kit:
1) The ability to quit my 50-60 hour/week stressful job in Corporate America! No more sitting in DFW traffic for 2 - 3 hours a day ! And I’m the best boss I’ve ever had!
2) The personal growth that I’ve realized; it’s changed my life!
3) The ability to pay off credit card debt! WOW!
4) The financial freedom to retire my husband from a stressful job in Corporate America in 2006 to purchase his own business! (Now I have my own OIL TYCOON!)
5) The wonderful friends that I’ve made and get to travel the world with!
6) Never having to set an alarm !!! !

There is so much in store for you in your new Mary Kay business! Don’t let another second go by—there’s no time like today! If you continue doing the same thing you’re doing now for another year, where will you be? In the same place! Because if nothing changes, nothing changes—don’t be afraid to take a chance and make a change! Just think... The worst think that will happen if you sign up for Mary Kay is that you will be able to get your products at 50%. On the other hand, you can build a multi-million dollar business. You can be anywhere in between! The choice is yours!
