Product Use Order

Some people put their products on in the wrong order, or they don't know in which order they should be applying things and this can hamper the product's results. While you do not have to use all these products {I surely do not} you do want to use in this order just skipping the products that you do not use. It is really quite simple, it is pretty much the lightest liquids to the heaviest liquids. Enjoy.

Inventory

How many businesses require tens of thousands of dollars worth of investment to begin? 

In Mary Kay we have two options:

•      Invest $100 for your starter kit; demo the products and be an order taker.
•      Invest in inventory, stock your own shelves with products and be able to provide on-the-spot delivery and quick customer service.

Your investment is a very low risk with high gains. Say you invest $3,600; you sell it, turning it into $7,200. Plus you have the safety and peace of mind knowing that Mary Kay will buy back your products at 90% within your first year if you decide not to continue with your Mary Kay journey (but after this you can no longer be a Mary Kay Consultant).

It is proven that when you have products on your shelf you will sell 57% more! The more products you have, the more products you will sell and the more profitable you will be.

Now it’s time to think BIG! When you begin your business at a profit Star Level inventory, Mary Kay gives you a huge bonus totaling hundreds of dollars in free product. This great bonus offsets interest on a loan and gives you an opportunity to really make money. You can sell your bonus products and make a 100% profit, or you can use them as hostess gifts.

Another advantage of having profit level inventory is you will sell more. Women are impulse shoppers and want their products right away. If you wanted to buy a lipstick from the cosmetic counter at the mall and all they had was some samples and a catalog to order from, would you give them your money? Or would you go to the next counter where they had products for you to take home immediately?

Think differently! Think abundant thoughts so you can have an abundant life! Step out of your comfort zone and grow to your full potential. Small thoughts, actions, and plans produce small results. BIG thoughts, actions, and place product BIG result! It’s a choice.

Women are impulsive buyers and will love being able to take products home immediately, just like they can at the mall. When she takes it home immediately she remembers how to use it.

A Tale of Two Hostesses

Congratulations, and way to go!

Lot’s of free gifts…you couldn’t say “no”!

Here’s a tale of two Hostesses, as you can see,

Read on, and pick the one you’d like to be!

First, there was Jane, so proper was she,

Her invitations were written in calligraphy!

“I’ll just invite six, I don’t know too many.

I’m sure they’ll all come, so there will be plenty.”

Her brochures and Hostess Booklet sat home on the table,

“Outside orders? She asked, “Oh, I wasn’t able.”

She prepared a buffet that was fit for a king,

But forgot to give her guests a reminder ring.

Only one guest arrived, the glamour to see,

“Why,” Jane wondered, “does this happen to me?”

And then there was Mary, so excited was she;

She was planning on getting her products for FREE!

She called 8-10 people, the date they were told,

She invited more people than the table would hold!

People wanted to know what the excitement was about,

So she stopped and pulled her catalog out.

She bragged about the products and the great guarantee;

Outside orders were no problem…no sir-ee!

She called the night before to remind once again,

And said, “Don’t forget about the prize you might win!”

She didn’t have time to prepare a buffet!

She stopped by the bakery, her class was that day.

Mary was thrilled with the products she won,

“Wow!” she exclaimed, “This really was fun!”

The moral of the story won’t leave you to brood;

Concentrate on your guests, not your home or the food!

Hear the stories of how Mary Kay changed these women's lives

if you want to learn how, visit my website

The Mary Kay Ash Foundation

Throughout her life, Mary Kay Ash showed others how to live and how to give. She gave hope to women who lacked opportunity, self-esteem and financial support. Now her legacy of love lives on through The Mary Kay Foundation, which she began in 1996. Make a tribute in honor of Mary Kay Ash today. Our mission is to eliminate cancer and to end the epidemic of violence against women. Our accomplishments are highlighted in our 2011 Year in Review.

How Mary Kay's quest for the cure began

Virtually everyone has been touched by cancer in some way. Mary Kay's personal encounter came in 1980 when her husband, Mel Ash, died of lung cancer. Subsequently, each time a member of the extended Mary Kay family was diagnosed with cancer, she became even more determined to work to find a cure. In 1987, Mary Kay decided to put her money where her heart was and asked employees at Mary Kay Inc. and the independent sales force to do the same. Together they began raising funds for cancer research, and in 1996, the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation was established to formalize the raising and distributing of research funds for cancers affecting women. In 2009, the name of the Foundation was changed to The Mary Kay Foundation. Domestic Violence Added to Our Mission. Mary Kay cared about all issues affecting women. Her mission was to enrich women's lives around the world. So when the first domestic violence shelter was being established in Dallas, the founders naturally came to her for potential funding, volunteers and product donations. Mary Kay responded with support. She knew domestic violence was a problem in the community. In time, she began to hear how prevalently this issue affected the Mary Kay Inc. independent sales force across the nation. So in July 2000, the Foundation embraced a second mission: to prevent violence against women.

10 Tips to Deal with Uncertainty

For your inspiration!

1. Clearly define what inspires you.
There’s is a big difference between taking action out of inspiration versus desperation. Use this season as an opportunity to hibernate into the recessesof your own mind and define what you choose to create in your next spring.

2. Control your focus.Energy flows where attention goes. Are you focusing on lack or opportunity?

3. Feed your mind.
What’s your constant mental diet? Do you spend hours in front of the scare news or are you reading good books, attending more positive seminars, watching uplifting DVDs and listening to powerful CDs?

4. Strengthen your body
Your physical health and vitality have a tremendous impact on your performances as well as your mental and emotional fitness. Exercise releases stress as well as strengthen your body and mind.

 
5. Inventory your friends.
Doom and gloom attracts more doom and gloom. Jettison those “energy vampires” around you and surround yourself with opportunity seekers.

6. Quiet your mind.
Take time to meditate daily and slow down if only for a few minutes. Ten to fifteen minutes of meditation will relieve hours of stress and increase creativity and resourcefulness.

7. Rid your life of escapist activities.
Overindulgence in TV, sleep and alcohol only accelerate the problems you’re attempting to avoid.

8. Make a daily gratitude list.
Focusing on all the good, gifts and God in your life puts you in the right line of thought, feeling and their subsequent actions, which will attract and create more good, gifts and God.

9. Change your attitude.
Realize that everything that’s happened in your life thus far is her to serve you, teach you and help you grow, Find lessons in your past results, forgive yourself for anything you could have done better and apply the lesson to move forward and create a better future.

10. Get Resourceful.
For the next 3 days, go to a place where you can have uninterrupted time … come up with 20 new ideas to grow your income, create new results and improve your life. You cannot leave your spot until you have twenty and no editing! All ideas are good ideas. Do this for 3 successive days with 20 new ideas each day. Now take your list of 60 unique ideas and pick the three to five most powerful and leveraged ones to put into action. Pick these 3 to 5 based on:  ease of implementation, rate of return and speed of return. Remember: It’s not about resources … there are plenty of them. It’s about resourcefulness.

Get resourceful and get busy!

Volu-firm

" I am so excited to be part of your unit and part of Mary Kay! First, I’d like to tell you a little about my background. I started my cosmetic career in 1990 at the age of 19. I have worked for and been trained by several cosmetic companies including Lancome, Prescriptives and Borghese. During my career I also managed a cosmetic department at Nordstrom which allowed me access to training with every cosmetic line we carried. In 2004 I was introduced to Mary Kay Cosmetics and became a consultant. I had a successful business in Corvallis until 2010 when I moved to Las Vegas. I chose to leave Mary Kay, and focus more on my family, new home, and volunteering in my community.

It’s been 2 years since I left Mary Kay. I’ve purchased some things form Mary Kay since I left, but I have also tried many other products, looking for the perfect eye cream, a better night cream etc. I purchased retinol products from Philosophy, eye creams from Roc and countless other companies. I spent a small fortune trying to find something to turn back the clock. I’m sure many of our customers do the same. Last month, Ronnie gave me samples of the new Volu-Firm set. Wow! This is exactly what I have been searching for! Volu-firm is the best age defying product I have ever used! I believe in this so much that I resigned my consultant agreement!

Volu-Firm works! I was amazed that after only a couple of uses, my eyes looked better; less puffy and smoother. My skin looked firmer, smoother and clearer. I have started to use a much more sheer foundation because I don’t want to cover up my great skin!

Volu-Firm is so effective because it has some of the best ingredients in the cosmetic industry. Many of the ingredients that I look for in my skincare are in Volu-firm products. The day cream and night cream both have shea butter which is one of the best hydrators for the skin. The day cream also contains allantoin which promotes healing on the skin, and protects against irritants for sensitive skin. The night cream contains retinol which has been proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and it contains licorice root extract which reduces inflammation, soothes the skin, clarifies and brightens the skin!

Ladies, this is a HUGE opportunity for all of us! Volu-Firm has the potential to make you successful. I signed my agreement about 2 weeks ago. I have shown the Volu-Firm to a 2 of my neighbors so far, and one bought the set today! Let Volu-Firm do the work for you. Show Volu-Firm to everyone you know and watch your business multiply!"

Time Wise Repair

You should recommend this line to anyone wanting the latest in anti-aging benefits who puts value on having great skin and is willing to make the investment - not just those with damaged skin or those in their 40's, 50's and beyond!

The Foaming Cleanser is not a 3 in 1.  There is no mask or freshener in it.  Yet these ingredients do balance, hydrate and tone the skin.  If a client who has oily skin still feels oily after using it for a few weeks then add the botanical freshener.

The Firming Lifting Serum should be used after the cleanser.
 
Putting on the Day and Night cream MUST be applied in a circular motion or you will find pieces of skin on your face.
The Retinal dissolves the dead skin. They do not recommend using Microdermabrasion more than twice a week with this system, but if you feel you need to use it.  Know that by over-using it, you can damage your new skin cells.  So, when using Microdermabrasion, use it more gently.

She said that if you can exclusively use the complete TW Repair line for 3 months without the extra supplements, that you will be amazed with the results.  So, having 5 steps on our bathroom cabinet instead of 15 of them will simplify our life.   OK I am already hyperventilating.......no Night Time Restore, no Serum C......OMG.

It is for damaged skin.  So, make an exception to anyone in their 40's that have a lot of damage on their skin.  Be practical......but, they do encourage 50 and over.
 
She did also say that if your customer has great looking skin with our TimeWise Miracle system than she doesn’t really need to change.  So, don’t try to switch everyone over 50 to the new products.  However if they are challenged with deep lines like on the forehead and saggy cheeks than you might want to encourage them to try it.

Life can be Good

I am in love with Mary Kay and the opportunity it provides for women!!

I am working on becoming a red jacket and while I do not plan on moving into a sales director position; I am a C-type personality and  I love being organized. I also desire to help other women who may be interested in another consultant's hints, tips, even see some of the things she uses! Whether or not someone truly finds anything useful here, it is great for me and those that I recruit to find things from my unit or that have worked for other consultants and their units!!
