should i seel mary kay

I used to belong to Mary Kay about three years ago. I joined under a friend from church when she asked me and other ladies at church to come to her house for a skin care class. I thought it would be good to make some extra money and I would be working from home and could make my own hours. I was wrong about this "company". I would not join if I were you. First, they will make you buy a kit of products that are outdated. Meaning they do not sell them anymore and the "business" seems more about recruiting other people under you than about selling products. Their products do not stay the same. They change it seems every few months. I had a few people buying from me only one or two things and when I went back to them for repeat business they told me that the products made them break out and one told me she believes that the products are not made the same way they were made before. Needless to say the it was not a good experience for me. Sincerely in Christ, Leesa C. Eph.2:8,9

I have not sold Mary Kay but I did sell Tupperware. Home party sales can be successful if you have a lot of friends and family who are wiling to have parties for you and get you started. In the beginning I did really well, even got an award for the best new sales person. It got harder as my friends and family had all had their parties and I had to start doing parties for strangers. I was able to get the parties booked but a lot of times the people would cancel on me either the night before or the day of which was really frustrating. Without those parties it was hard to book more parties. I know I made a mistake now and should not given the hostesses their hostess gifts for their friend's party bookings until their friends actually had their party, that way it would have kept them from out and out cancelling on me. Live and learn. So what I am saying is if you have a lot of friends and family who are willing to book parties for you then go for it. If not I wouldn't do it because there is an expense up front and you don't want to end up losing money. It might be a good idea to ask your friends and family ahead of time. Ask them if you were to become a Mary Kay agent would they book a party for you. Then you will know up front where you stand and can make your decision based on that. Best of luck to you.

I use to sell Mary Kay. I personally love to do things that allow me to work at home. But needless to say Mary Kay was not good for me. I really did try to sell it though. The products are just too expensive for most of the people I know. So that meant no customers. For example to get a cleansing kit which includes four products it cost a hundred dollars. Now I know i don't know a lot of people who can spend a hundred dollars on a facial cleansing set. Also after a certain amount of months if you haven't sold very much they expect you to have a big order in. Like when I stopped they wanted me to have a 300 dollar order. If you want to sell something you should try Avon. People can find Avon products for $10 or less. So people are more reasonable where that is concerned. I hope that whatever you decide it works out for you.

Hi, I used to sell Mary Kay too (and Avon), but with kids it is difficult as you still have to go out and do parties. I don't belieive I made much considering the discounts and prizes to entice customers to buy and hold parties. When you average your net earnings after product (at discounted prices), time and gas, you lose and not to mention the company collects full retail tax on the products you buy from them, but most of the time you can't sell for full retail, so you can't even collect the money you paid on tax. Sure you can claim it as a loss on your taxes but money is worth more in your pocket than on paper. If you want a real work at home business that doesn't require inventory, billing customers and collecting pay (not to mention chasing them to pay you) I can show you what I do. I am a mom of six and am finding this very rewarding... time, quality and money. If you are interested, I can help you. 425-329-553. nhia@homemail.com
