Aussie Christine’s Story

I am writing from Australia and have been a Consultant with MK for about 15 months. I am sure I am not the first to write to you to suggest you provide a little balance on your website. I sympathize with the people telling their stories to you and agree that not everyone involved in MK is an honest and upstanding member of our community.

I am very happy to say that my Director has been with MK for 11 years and is like my best friend. I have not once been pushed to place inventory orders, in actually fact my Director suggests I borrow from her inventory if I need the products straight away. I know many other directors that follow the same principle.

If you read the marketing plan and company information you will not see it written anywhere that you 'MUST purchase inventory, MUST recruit, MUST warm chat, MUST work like a slave, MUST invest all your money, MUST be on stage at seminar'. The company tells you what they offer and YOU decide if you want it and how badly. Your Director does not decide, your husband does not decide, your customers do not decide - only YOU decide how much you are prepared to do to reach for what the company offers.

As an INDEPENDENT Beauty Consultant we chose how we approach our business. The guidelines are there and have been for over 40 years. You will find that the vast majority of ladies that are successful consultants are operating the business that way that Mary Kay Ash taught and are living their lives God first, family second, career third.

My suggestion to many of the past consultants that have included their stories here is that they have a look at why they joined MK in the first place, what was the situation they were in to start with and did they listen to the advice Mary Kay Ash gave all those years ago? Personal motivation plays a very large part in your decisions - if you are selfish in your goals you will just end up a selfish old person and have been taught the lesson the hard way.

I will be waiting with interest to see your response to my email. I am presuming that you do realize that not everything about MK is bad and that you will do me the courtesy of a reply.

Regards,
Christine
