The Mary Kay Opportunity
The Mary Kay business opportunity is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Its not a scam. And its certainly not a pyramid! It is a solid, proven business that can greatly increase your standard of living! Its 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 nations leader in skin care & cosmetic sales. Why did she do it? To Enrich Womens Lives. Thats 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 Im here to tell you, this business works if you do! I started my business 3 and a half years ago, and today I enjoy a lifestyle that I may never have had otherwise!
So, how do we make our money?
No, Im not a mind-reader! But its the first question I asked when I heard about Mary Kay. We all know that money cant 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 have been known to 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 42 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!
2)Commissions
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. Its 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? My National Sales Director's highest earnings in one month have been in excess of $70,000, including commissions and cash bonuses! My Senior Director has been in Mary Kay for only 11 years and her highest monthly check has been over $16,000! This may sound too good to be true, but its not! Like I said, this business works if you do! Need more proof?

As if it couldnt 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! This year, Mary Kay is taking all of the top sales directors on an all-expense trip to Marbella, Spain. And of course theres the Pink Cadillac, the trophy on wheels! But thats okay if you dont want to drive a pink car. Mary Kay will give you $900 a month CASH instead! Other career cars offered by Mary Kay include the red Pontiac Vibe & the platinum Pontiac Grand Prix. They also take care of 85% of your car insurance and pay the tax, tag, & title if you take the car!
BUT! Its 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 womens 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.
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 your life???
3)Outreach
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!
4)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!
5)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!
Let me guess: Youre not the sales type, right?
Before Mary Kay, I had never sold a thing in my life! Not even school candy! 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!
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 mens 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!
So how do I get started?
Im 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! 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!
