Door-to-door sales leaves much to be desired nowadays. They are history’s more annoying equivalent to the telemarketer. However, I believe it’s usage in the above excerpt was simply a generalization as it is a well-known fact that both Avon and Mary Kay promote the idea of selling to friends and families and using them as a means to increase clientele.

I don’t think that it is accurate to say that Mary Kay – or any other big name – pays you go to door-to-door (even if that door-to-door is really selling to your friends and family). If you don’t sell anything, you don’t make anything. And from what I understand, the market for both Mary Kay and Avon are both saturated to the point that the companies can’t give areas to just one distributor. And to say “though you have to pay for … product samples” makes it seem like it’s nothing bit when in fact that can run you hundreds of dollars. And when they change the product all the time, your samples are no longer any good.

Just something to think about.

I met someone recently who’s been selling Mary Kay and, according to her, is making a very decent income from it. She certainly doesn’t sell door to door; she organizes parties to which friends and friends of friends come. They try the stuff, like it, buy it, and come back for more. I’ve never met someone who did that before, and I was surprised it actually brings in money.

I am a Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay and we do not encourage anyone to go door to door, it isn’t safe. We do organize parties, web parties, silent parties (take a book and get orders)etc. You can make money up to 50% on everything we sale. Also commissions from the company when you recruit team members. As with any business or job you make it what you want. Our Show Case or Starter Kit if you may cost $100 plus tax and s/h. However, they are running a special on the Kit for the month of October 2009 for only $50 plus tax and s/h. Mary Kay is a wonderful company, our product sells itself. We actually teach Skin Care and we are number one in both Skin Care and Color Cosmetics. Try it may fall in love with.

I am also a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. Everything Myra has said is true. There are no territories or areas and the market is by far not saturated. I have never sold the product. Like stated above it sells itself. Women and Men want to try skin care to improve the signs of aging and Mary Kay does what it says it will do. In addition to that there is a complete money back no questions asked insurance. If a woman wants color cosmetics she gets to try samples or use online tools to create new looks taking away the blind stare you find on womens faces in the cosmetic section of any store. All customers are offered personal service taylored to their needs. The best part for a Consultant is you always have the option of returning all the product you have purchased up to 1 year after purchase and get 90% of your money back from the Company. If you just keep the stuff you want to use you have not lost a dime and if you sell anything you have purchased you are way ahead with the 50% profit margine. More women make over 50,000 100,000 and 1,000,000 than any other company in the world. The fleet of cars Mary Kay gives away to Consultants to use is second only to the United States Government. The Company is number one as stated above and has been for 14 years. Wharton School of Business deemed Mary Kay Ash one of the most influntial business leaders of modern times. Her principles for business are timeless and are still embraced from the COO (Her Grandson) to the newest Consultant in the sales force. The opportunity offered by Mary Kay is as good as it gets in direct sales by far.

My objective is for my family to be debt free; that’s the basis for creating prosperity.

$30 billion is really a great amount.
