12 Reasons Women Join Mary Kay

#1 – MONEY

Can you believe that there are more women earning in excess of $100,000 a year in Mary Kay than any other company in the U.S.??? We boast the highest paid women in America, according to Wall Street Journal. We buy are products for a dollar, and we sell them for two. We can choose to market our product through facials, pampering sessions, on-the-go appointments, collection previews, 24-hour websites or webshows. With so many options, selling this product is easy to fit into the busiest of schedules! Because of this, 85% of our consultants begin Mary Kay with another full-time job. A brand new beauty consultant earns $25 an hour just by working her business, but most of the women in our unit earn $50 to $100 per hour. We also make money by sharing this opportunity with others.

For example, a brand new consultant can earn several hundred dollars extra CASH just through team building. As a brand new director, my checks were in excess of $3,000 monthly (in addition to my sales). And now, as an executive, my checks exceed $12,000 EXTRA CASH monthly! Because we are a dual-marketing company, and not a pyramid company, we all make the same on our product (50%). Commissions are paid directly out of the company profits.

#2 – Tax Breaks

(My husband LOVES this one). Because you have a home-based business, you can write off a portion of your mortgage, rent, utilities, mileage, vacations…even beauty-related improvements (such as nails and hair) are tax deductions. You can even write off Glamour Magazine subscriptions!

#3 – Job Security

No one can hire or fire me in Mary Kay. Did you know that 50% of ALL Americans now have a home-based business for a Plan “B.” Do you have a plan “B”?

#4 – Career Car

You probably know about the Pink Cadillacs – but Mary Kay also awards Red Vibes and Platinum Grand Prixs. That’s right, you can drive a company car working as little as 12-15 hours a week in your Mary Kay business. A car is earned based on your selling and recruiting abilities – everyone meets the same requirements to earn a Mary Kay car. The company pays the tax, title, licenses and most of the insurance. I’ve earned 5 cars in the past 6 years. Imagine, earning a new car every two years – how much money would that save your family over a lifetime? What would you put all that money toward? Education, vacation, retirement fund? AND, if you don’t want to take the car, Mary Kay has a monthly cash compensation plan that starts at $375 per month.

#5 – Advancement at Your Own Pace

One of the greatest aspects of this marketing plan is that there is NO GLASS CEILING. You can earn as much money as you choose to work for and move up the career ladder as fast as you choose by doing the work it takes to move into each position. There are NO POLITICS in Mary Kay – every one who “does it”, “gets it”. You can remain a consultant or climb as high as National Sales Director. Your choice, your time frame!”

#6 – Family Security Plan

Our retirement package in Mary Kay is unmatched. As a National Sales Director, the company takes an average of your 2 best years, and pays you this average for a 15-year period (which averages to approx. $30,000 monthly). If you were to pass away, this retirement goes directly to your family. And the best part of all, you don’t have to contribute ONE DIME!!!

#7 – Prizes and Recognition

Mary Kay always said, “A woman will work harder for praise and recognition than for money”. Women don’t receive near enough praise or recognition – rarely from bosses, family or friends – but in Mary Kay we applaud and cheer for each other all the time – and it is genuine. We award weekly, quarterly and annual prizes. These include beautiful things for the home, fabulous jewelry (like my 3 carat diamond ring), luxury trips (like the trip to Spain my husband and I will take in September) and cars– I’ll tell you more about that one later. It’s not like getting a turkey for Christmas. It’s like Christmas at my house all year long!”

#8 – Flexibility

I choose when and how many hours I work based on what I want to earn. I truly get to put my faith first, my family second and my career third. That’s why Mary Kay has a policy of no quotas. And I get to be my own boss! No one ever tells me when to go to the bathroom, when to eat lunch or when to go on vacation. I can give myself a pay raise tomorrow. How cool is that? When corporate America is laying off and issuing pay cuts, I can actually get a raise!

#9 – Personal Growth

Mary Kay is the BEST self-improvement course you could take – and the best part of it all is that you will make money while you are learning and growing. I was painfully shy 9 years ago (I couldn’t even call and order pizza over the phone). I don’t know many shy women who wish they were more shy. I am so excited about the woman I’ve become through Mary Kay (and I know I’m a better example to my children). You will learn how to step out of your comfort zone, one step at a time.

#10 – Fun, Friends & Family

You know, you become like the 5 people you hang around them most, and in Mary Kay you will hang around some of the most positive and powerful people you will ever meet. My customers, consultants and directors have become lifelong friends! Our families have grown up together. And with a priority system of faith first, family second and career third…we are encouraged to live our lives with balance. In Mary Kay, we can have our cake and eat it too. Do you LOVE your job SO MUCH that you would do it for FREE? I do!

#11 – Fulfillment of Helping Others

All that you pour into the lives of others will come back to you! As a Mary Kay consultant, you have the opportunity to, not only change the way someone looks and feels through teaching them proper skincare and makeup techniques, but you have the opportunity to literally change a life! Nothing is more fulfilling than helping others succeed! That is the paycheck of the heart. Is your J-O-B fulfilling you?

#12 – The Ability to Dream

I believe every person on earth was born with a dream. They may not be able to describe it. They may have forgotten it. They may no longer believe in it. But it’s there. In Mary Kay, we are encouraged to dream again. Our founder, Mary Kay Ash, always said that, “Within yourself lies everything you ever dreamed of being. Become everything that God wants you to be. It is within your reach. Dare to grow into your dreams.” Are you living YOUR dream OR just living your life?
