  Being a PT member, I have to say your definition of Pink Truth is so far from the mark it’s laughable.

  First, Pink Truth has many members. Not all are ex-consultants/directors, etc. There are (welcomed) active members who contribute all the time.

  We’re not about bashing. We’re about forewarning women interested in the opportunity of certain bad business practices COMMON PLACE in the Mary Kay industry. I say common place, because we’re not all from the same region. In fact, we’re from different countries. With similar experiences. That in of itself speaks to the Mary Kay CULTURE.

  Not all directors practice shenanigans to the financial detriment of the recruit; however, it’s best to be forewarned about them so as to be able to avoid them if confronted by them. It is after all, a lot of money on the table we’re talking about.

  The posters on Pink Truth are mostly “successful” (ex) directors, executive directors, red jackets and even an NIQ, who’ve been there, “done that”. They know. Yes, there are even those who’ve never personally pursued the opportunity. So what. They’ve done all the research and have made up their mind based on everything available.

  For the record, we’re not lazy. We’re not losers. We’re informative.

  Knowledge is power. If somebody considering Mary Kay happenstances across Pink Truth, reads it and bails on the opportunity because they don’t want to be associated with it for whatever reason, then they made a business decision that’s good for them. That’s a good thing. If somebody else is reading the blog and they can identify with what’s posted, even in part, and they decide to exercise their repurchase option based on their gut feeling, especially in today’s economy, then that’s their business decision based on what’s good for them.

  Nobody’s holding a gun to their head to quit Mary Kay. People take responsibility for themselves based on their bottom line.

  There’s nothing negative or bashing about that. Truth is neither negative or positive. It just is.

  Ex-consultant,

  The difficulty of “typifying” something, particularly for an audience you can’t see (such as the readership of this particular website), is that there is no possible way to get it exactly right. My description was not a definition… it was a description of what I have observed of the typical experience one can expect from a visit to pink truth.

  Nonetheless, I don’t think my description or definition (whichever you prefer to call it) was inaccurate, much less “laughably” so.

  The fact that I did not specifically mention the current consultants that post there does not mean my description was wrong.

  “people don’t get what they bargained for” is kind of the “type” that I used to label the vast majority. I doubt if you could name one person that posts regularly (and is not banned) that “got or is getting exactly what they bargained for”. That is because anyone that did so or is doing so, is considered to be “promoting” Mary Kay and is not allowed to state their opinion.

  You say:

  “We’re not about bashing.”

  When I said “collectively bash”, I had in mind the definition: “To engage in harsh, accusatory, criticism.” Do you have a different definition, or are you seriously suggesting that kind of behavior is not the primary discourse of Pink Truth? Keep in mind that I (as a “non-member”) only have access to the daily posts that the “public” can see.

  Because I am not interested in discussing with you all the various opinions that can be found on Pink Truth, nor am I interested in attempting to “fit into a box” every member of Pink Truth, I will ask you to engage, conversationally, with me in regards to YOUR views regarding the following questions.

  What are the “bad business practices” that YOU have a problem with?

  There are many “bad business practices” that are cited on Pink Truth that are actually GOOD business practices and therefore SHOULD be commonplace. So, please clarify what YOU consider to be “bad”.

  Once we establish whether or not the “practices” are indeed BAD, we can discuss whether they seem commonplace and what can be done to overcome that.

  Ex-consultant,

  you said:

  “The posters on Pink Truth are mostly “successful” (ex) directors, executive directors, red jackets and even an NIQ, who’ve been there, “done that”. They know. Yes, there are even those who’ve never personally pursued the opportunity. So what. They’ve done all the research and have made up their mind based on everything available.”

  Interesting that even you put successful in quotes!

  Also, you say:

  “For the record, we’re not lazy. We’re not losers. We’re informative. ”

  So no one on PT is lazy?

  No one is a loser? Everyone is a winner?

  And regarding informative… well read my whole post again. I concede that there is some modicum of information available, but you really have to do a lot of wading…

  I never said anyone on PT was or was not lazy or a loser. And I suspect that there are really very few people that accuse the peeps there of being so. There seems to be a martyr complex going on there though, where any criticism is viewed as a personal attack. And of course, ANY criticism that is posted on that blog is deleted, so the environment is decidedly “agree with us or else” and it leads to what I mention, namely, raw emotion building on raw emotion.

  There is no sense of rationale… as long as you are anti-Mary Kay, you are permitted to say whatever you want, regardless of how out of touch with reality.

• David
  Jul 19, 2008 at 2:47 pm

  Ex,

  Finally, you seem to (and I emphasize SEEM) share a view that Pink Truth promotes that I have a major problem with. You say:

  “…bails on the opportunity because they don’t want to be associated with it for whatever reason, then they made a business decision that’s good for them.”

  “…that’s their business decision based on what’s good for them.”

  I don’t believe that being involved with Mary Kay is inherently a GOOD decision. Conversely, I don’t believe that NOT being involved with Mary Kay is inherently GOOD.

  You seem to believe that NOT is GOOD. Period.

  It is this irrational, extreme stance that I believe leads most of what would otherwise be good information offered there astray.

  Imagine if someone started placing payed advertising on television across the country saying that people that blog (and especially those who leave comments on blogs) are anti-social, narcissistic losers that are dangerous to society. You and I might both have an issue with that person!

  I think the primary complaint that I have with Pink Truth is that in their determination to allow people to “express” themselves, they inadvertently do a lot of damage to the credibility and integrity of a lot of very good women.

  “There’s nothing negative or bashing about that. Truth is neither negative or positive. It just is.”

  Be that as it may, what is offered on Pink Truth is hardly the truth.

  Jul 19, 2008 at 3:31 pm

  David you talk about how much product you need to sell to make a decent income and I agree, it is a large amount.

  How many people in MK do you personally know who sell that amount of inventory on a regular basis, if any?

  Is it the case that most of your MK contacts sell considerably less than that?

  Are there costs involved in MK that mean you need to sell certain levels of stock each month in order to avoid losing money, or would a lack of sales just mean your money is tied up in inventory?

• David
  Jul 19, 2008 at 4:02 pm

  Scam,

  Great questions.

  To be honest, I do not know very many people personally in Mary Kay. I have had a few casual encounters with the people that my wife associates with, but those conversations rarely (or more accurately, never) lead to amount of product sold.

  There are a few people on my blog that have volunteered the level of sales they reach, but I hate to cite any of those because I don’t like the idea of stating unsubstantiated claims as fact.

  My guess, based on all the information available is that the majority of those involved in Mary Kay (the really big number that encompasses ALL, regardless of goals… something to the tune of 700,000 in the U.S.) do NOT sell that amount of inventory.

  As I mentioned somewhere here, I think that no matter what “level” of inventory you move, you should be able to come out with a “positive” cash flow.

  I think that the problems people encounter occur when they “spend” at a level other than the level they are “selling” at.

  Make no mistake, it is my opinion that if you want to make a living from this business, you better be prepared to work REALLY hard for it.

  I do think that of the ones that do work REALLY hard and stay focused on selling, getting referrals, and following up, again and again, day in and day out, there is a high success rate.

  I think that it is a difficult thing to discipline ones self to do. I personally HATE working the phones. I hate getting referrals. I hate following up on referrals. I could not handle doing it day in and day out as is required. However, I think that the ones that CAN, the ones that force themselves to do it (or for some sick reason like it so much that they don’t have to force themselves to do it) are, by and large, successful.

  I guess that is rather roundabout in attempting to answer your question.

  To more directly speak to what you are asking, I think there are some that want to make a living, put in the effort and get the results.

  I think there are others that just want a little extra spending money, and, while it still requires considerable effort, they accomplish that goal.

  I do believe there are those (many or few is hard to speak to) that are given the impression that the effort of the latter (small earnings… not ‘living wages’) can and will produce the results of the former.

  This is certainly one of the topics we discuss often at the Balanced Mary Kay blog.

  Does that help clarify for you?

• Scam
  Jul 19, 2008 at 4:25 pm

  David, your answers lead me on to many more questions!

  I can understand why you wouldn’t want to cite figures from your blog because I think we can all agree that a certain proportion of people will misquote their earnings for a variety of reasons.

  When you say you would have to work really hard that is, of course, common sense.

  However, from your own experience and that of the MK’ers you know, would you say that the financial rewards they receive, purely on a dollars per hour of work basis, compare favourably with other types of work?

  Can the average person who is reasonably determined and not lazy make minimum wage with Mary Kay?

  Again, from what you know, would you say people typically buy the correct levels of inventory?

  If not, why not?

  Are they coerced, conned, misguided into doing so?

  Do they buy too much inventory because they haven’t thought things through and have overestimated what they can sell?

  Or do a significant number of consultants front-load in order to acquire directorships and other perks such as cars?

  On another note, who are the ‘target recruits’ for Mary Kay?

  I know you could say that anyone with a hundred bucks could work for them but who do they really appeal to?

  Is it the woman, or man, who wants to make big money or are they aimed more at the work at home mom who just wants to make a few bucks and save on their own cosmetics purchases?

  Scam, my directors talk about a “target market” and it is similar to what MK4ME mentioned on one of the other threads. Here are some of the criteria we are advised to follow when prospecting new team members:

  Love the products
  On the skin care (this is after all, what they want us to promote)
  Age 30-50
  Own a home
  Work another job
  Have some college education
  Married

  Those are the types they want us to target, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions:

  Age 18-29
  Rents
  No college
  No job
  Single

  The exceptions aren’t doomed to fail because there are some who have succeeded that are the exception, however, they probably meet some of the other criteria. We should focus on people who possess at least 3 or 4 of the ideal criteria.

  Personally, I don’t ask people to join my team. I find that people who are interested ask me about joining MK. This is really the ideal scenario.

• Shades of Pink
  Jul 20, 2008 at 4:41 pm

  I wanted to add a little to my target market comment. I think these criteria are good, but I don’t think we should be chasing people down asking them to sign an agreement. Our job is to sell Mary Kay products first. Mastering the sale of the product and profiting from that shows people around you that this works for YOU. It makes them see how you are working and making it work. This may spark an interest in them. You won’t have to ask them to join. They may approach you. THEN you can use the target market criteria to determine if Mary Kay is a good fit for them right now. My personal goals revolve around selling products and putting the products on faces.

  “When I said “collectively bash”, I had in mind the definition: “To engage in harsh, accusatory, criticism.” Do you have a different definition, or are you seriously suggesting that kind of behavior is not the primary discourse of Pink Truth? Keep in mind that I (as a “non-member”) only have access to the daily posts that the “public” can see.”

  We talk about our own personal experiences. So anybody affiliated with the business and in a positive frame of mind considers it “bashing” and “negative”. But it’s not. It’s what we experienced. It’s the truth.

  I don’t understand why people affiliated with Mary Kay (I say affiliated because you’re married to somebody who’s a director, right?) would be so ‘offended’ by first-hand experience. We’re not saying YOU’RE doing this. We just report our experiences. Some say get over it. We say, beware, we’re getting/got over it. Now our raison d’être is to forewarn others so it doesn’t happen to them.

  Dave asked: “What are the “bad business practices” that YOU have a problem with?”

  Frontloading. Big time. Asking closed questions and being lied to. As for the inventory, if I was frontloaded with skin care, you know the stuff actually used in a primary pampering session, that would be different. People would walk away with what I’m putting on their face. The majority of stuff “picked out for me” was stuff never even used during a facial. Just pure b.s.

  Dave said: “You seem to believe that NOT is GOOD. Period.

  It is this irrational, extreme stance that I believe leads most of what would otherwise be good information offered there astray.”

  Actually, no I don’t. I believe people make decisions on facts relevant to them and their personal circumstances. If they read PT and they identify with it, and they choose NOT to be involved with Mary Kay because of what they identify with being reported on PT, well it’s not “our fault”. We’re just reporting our experiences. Why should somebody disregard their intuition i.e., hot = burn, in favor of being proved wrong by jumping in to learn what they already knew was right in the first place? It’s called risk. Some possess a high-risk factor, others are more conservative. Chances are, the ones doing the research are more conservative in terms of how they invest their time and money.

  As for being banned for your opinion, I can’t comment on that. I just post comments. I don’t control the site’s content. I can say, though, that there are consultants on the site, regulars, posting every day. So I don’t know where you’re coming from, what your history is. Let’s just say, I’m as bewildered about your PT experience as you are about my Mary Kay experience. :)

  Dave said, “Be that as it may, what is offered on Pink Truth is hardly the truth.”

  See I have a problem with your comment. I find it incredibly offensive. Why? Because you’re calling me a liar.

  I can only post what I know based on my own personal experience. For you to say that I am lying about what happened to me? And you don’t even know me?

  Wow. I can tell you emphatically that my experience, as reflected by others on Pink Truth happened. That’s why I chose to post on Pink Truth. To this day, I don’t know why the woman who targeted me chose to do the things she did to me. But, after having experienced her drive, I can say, she is just not balanced!

  Call us birds of a feather. But you have to acknowledge that given our geographical locations (across the globe?) there’s something we’re not just one person making it up. Maybe you wish that were the truth. The truth is, women, across the globe, are experience the same slimey b.s. Just because your wife doesn’t practice the shenanigans being played in other areas doesn’t mean that she’s not aware of them. I’ve read your site. She writes about them and documents her choice not to practice “this way” and the reasons why. (All good, of course.) The fact that she CHOOSES not to practice them extends credibility to their existence.

  I’m not a liar. And I can tell you something else, the women practicing these bad business practices and inflicting them onto unsuspecting women at their financial peril for simple GREED, THEY will be the cause of the down fall of Mary kay as we know it in the USA.

  Have you hit PT lately? Have you seen the seminar pics? Gas isn’t the reason the debut pic isn’t as populated as years gone by.

  Man the life rafts!~

  Jul 20, 2008 at 8:07 pm

  Hi ex,

  Please be careful to not take what I have said out of context, as I also attempt to do the same for you.

  In regards to personal experience, I have never suggested that people on Pink Truth are lying about their experience.

  If you recall, I have in fact said that there is some really excellent content to be found there. What I maintain though is that it is difficult to find.

  Funny you should ask if I have been over to PT. (I hadn’t, but on your recommendation, took a quick gander.)

  The first comment, from “truth not tears”, goes:

  “All that brown…looks like they are dressed for doom and gloom….”

  What do you consider that?

  Second comment, from “SuzyQ”, suggests:

  “…And maybe 1/2 will be brown at leadership.”

  Is this the truth? Or simply haphazard speculation?

  Third comment, “no more pink kookaid”:

  “Corpse’s ship is sinking…”

  This is inferred from a photo of last year and a photo of this year? Pink Truth in its pure, unfiltered presentation of the truth knows that the smaller number of directors is NOT because corporate has decided to make it more difficult to be a director in order to reduce the number of problems with directors debuting too early? (I am not suggesting that this is or is not the reason, just asking how PT can be so certain that it is “corpse’s ship sinking” that is causing the difference.)

  6th comment, Scribbler, photoshops a Visa logo into the picture with a “sponsored by” text…. obviously suggesting that Visa is so pleased with all the debt Mary Kay has “sent their way” that they have sponsored the event…. This is very funny. I get it. Really, I do…. “lol” or whatever the kids are saying these days. Really, I am laughing out loud, but the more I type, the more I feel like I sound like I am using a dry, sarcastic voice. I am not. It is funny!!

  She also “quotes” ‘milli vanilli’, saying, “Girl, you know it’s true!”

  My question… is this the truth that you all are so proud of?

  Comment 8, “queen of section 2″:

  “Looks like a Brownie meeting. Hey, maybe 1/2 “flew up”! … to Guides.”

  Is this the Truth you guys offer?? or is this ‘bashing’??

  Further down, “nomoremlm4me” says:

  “I’m so glad the numbers are down, but I just feel so sorry for those ladies up on stage. Seriously, let’s pray that the fog is lifted before bankruptcy is filed.”

  This is an example of my complaint about inferring ones experience on all.

  I don’t doubt in the least that “nomoremlm4me” had an experience that was negative. I am sure that if I dug a little, I could find the pieces of her story. Without doing that, I will assume that she amassed debt and felt that being “fogged” was the reason that she managed to do so without realizing it when it was happening.

  I don’t question her experience. I don’t believe she is lying.

  But she is not doing any of that. She is suggesting that all those women on that stage are in debt.

  Do you call that truth?

  In fact, if you would be so kind as to humor me here, look through all the comments on that post. Read each one from the eyes of someone that is looking to Pink Truth as a beacon of truth. (Perhaps considering Mary Kay, perhaps in Mary Kay, but uncertain about some things) How many of the comments there are really helpful? How many are just spiteful “bashing” of a company that the commentator does not like?

  I will say one thing. Almost at the bottom, Tracy says that everyone should switch to firefox. I could not agree more!!! Seriously folks, if you are not using firefox, you don’t deserve a computer.

  But, on the other hand, she also agrees with “lazy gardens” who opines:

  “I looked at the pictures, and there were fewer truly horrible dresses. Maybe last year’s snark-fest has had results.

  But the one with the lips … OMGWTFBBQ!”

  I hope that “breaking down” that one post illustrates what I am saying.

  There is some truth to be found there. Some truth. There are some true experiences floating around. But they are hard to find.

  For a site purporting to be the truth, to the exclusion of all other opinions and points of view, the overall presentation simply does not live up to that claim.

  ****

  Now, to speak directly to you.

  You say:

  “Gas isn’t the reason the debut pic isn’t as populated as years gone by.”

  I ask:

  Do you know this? How?

  I am not saying that you are lying.

  But if you are going to tell the world that… you better plan on being challenged.

  That (being challenged) is something that is not allowed to happen on Pink Truth.

  Trust me.

  I may be wearing rose colored glasses but I am pretty sure in saying after seeing the prices on some of the airline tickets and knowing the crunch that many of us are feeling at the pumps, I would have been surprised if attendance at Seminar hadn’t declined some. Actually, I was surprise attendance wasn’t down more. When I look around even the local fair that is about 30 minutes from me, really had a much lower attendance than in years past.

  I do believe people are using caution with the way the economy is behaving.

  mk4me,

  we seem to be posting at about the same time….

  “hi”!!!

  I think “ex-consultant” may think that you are my wife!

  Or at least someone on the site!

  Ex consultant,

  Allow me to set the record straight…

  1. My wife is not a director.
  2. My wife is not mk4me.
  3. My wife does not post on my blog. She is like many other consultants that choose not to stick their hand in this beehive of a mess that the internet has made out of their pursuit. They just sell to those that are interested, recruit those that seem to be a good match, and ignore the ones that suggest that they do otherwise.

  My personality is unique in that when I see something that is inaccurate (particularly something that is accusatory and especially something that is accusatory of my wife) I feel the need to say something about it.

• mk4me
  Jul 20, 2008 at 8:58 pm

  Hey David, that is the way I read it too, and had a little chuckle, I am sure Mr. mk4me, may be a little disturbed to find out I have a blog husband!

  And with what David has said, my reason for posting in blog ville is because as I was reading the horror stories, I felt if there wasn’t alot of good information in blog ville to read and that the bad would continue to grow. Even though all this information is available on MKIntouch and in MK literature and training materials, the blogs seem to be a way many are using to gain information. As a director, I feel that I may be able to offer some valuable information that might help consultans, ex-consultants, or consultants to avoid some of the pitfalls we read about.

  I certainly don’t have the time to start my own blog and do it well, so David was gracious enough to offer me a spot on his blog as one of his authors. I feel strongly about his blog because he does try to help to provide a “balanced ” view and I am enjoying meeting and conversing with others, both pro and anti mk people.

  It has been a new hobby lately but before long, I will probably have to back down and return to excercising as the more I blog, the wider my hips get!

  Ex-Consultant,

  I’ve never posted here before, but I just have to comment on your posts.

  Do you really not see the bashing that goes on on Pink Truth? When a large group makes fun of what another group wears, that is not bashing? Even using terms like “kaybots”, that isn’t bashing? I think that most of that goes on behind closed doors on the discussion boards now, but it used to be on the front page.

  And above you said that the posters were not talking about David and his wife, but au contraire, if you read Pink Truth, you know that their smear campaign often lumps all of those involved in Mary Kay into one group. They even go so far as to claim that one cannot make any money if you work the business ethically, which is absolutely untrue.

  No one has said that Mary Kay is perfect, but you should probably step back away from the screen and take a good long look at what goes on on Pink Truth, who benefits, and how things really work on that site. Do you ever see rebuttles to what is said? No, because they are not allowed through. Do you notice all of those ads on the site? Who makes that money? Take a guess. Do you notice that some of these women left Mary Kay years ago and they are still sitting in front of a computer talking about it? Do you notice the absolute disdain for ANYTHING Mary Kay and that even changes that they have seen the need for are twisted up when they actually happen? Do you realize that there has even been a site created for those who were banned from Pink Truth? They are not pro Mary Kay people, just anti Pink Truth people. What craziness!

  David, Hello! I recently signed up to be a New Consultant last month. I am blessed to have a husband that makes enough money for me to stay home with my children. I am like many other women that have stayed home to take care of kids, you lose yourself. I have three kids under the age of 4, and 2 are still in diapers hence the name Dirtydiaperdiva. I wanted to do something to make myself feel better. I am fortunate that I don’t have to depend on Mary Kay to pay the bills, but I do plan on doing my best at it and will sell as much as I can. I did do the major inventory buy at almost $3500.00 wholesale. Yes, that was a lot, not including all the Section 2 items that aren’t included in the tally. I do love Mary Kay products and have a noticable change in my skin from using them–for the better. I have used products from Philosophy, Lancome, and other companies that offered no noticeable improvement in my skin and cost a whole lot more. I love having inventory there, if someone needs something, I have it. I did sign up to sell Mary Kay about 10 years ago, but at that time I was Active duty military and was working another full time job, I just didn’t have the time. Now I have the time and the passion to make it work. I have a Director and Recruiter that beefed up the GREAT DEBUT PARTY! Sunk more money into that for refreshments and decorations than was sold, but I will keep on keeping on. I have a wonderful supportive husband that has gotten orders from women @ $100.00 per order and has been warned that if I ever need that one extra consultant to sign up–he will be that new Independant Beauty Consultant!! Wishing everyone the best luck in the world–no matter what you try to do. Mary Kay isn’t for some people or most people for that matter, but I love the products and love meeting new people. If I never make millions doing it, that is fine because I am making new friends and meeting a lot of great people. David thanks so much for the blog site. Just be supportive of your wife–believe me we could be spending money on more expensive things (Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Prada, etc) My husband is glad that I am spending money on something that I can sell, rather than a handbag that sits on a shelf and collects dust.
