Last night at my meeting I got some great training and tips on this fabulous product! The Targeted Action Line Reducer is designed to offer both instant and long-term effects. It plumps the skin in the face where lines occur within 10 minutes and also aids in the disappearance of those lines over time! Amazing! But there are some things you should know: (more…)
We’ve all heard directors say, “when someone says, ‘no,’ she really means ‘not now.’” Yes and no. This line of thought can lead to what some perceive as stalking (and, OK actual stalking). There is a simple way to avoid this faux pas. Communicate and ASK. Communication is key in our business. We want to build lasting relationships with our customers. Part of doing this is talking to them in the moment. This starts from the first contact whether it’s a random encounter or a guest at a skin care class.
I’m sure we’ve talked to someone about Mary Kay and they responded with, “I don’t wear makeup.” Or, “No, I’m a soap and water kind of girl. No time to fuss and fluff!” These dismissive responses can give the impression that they never want to try Mary Kay. They may also imply (or we may infer) that Mary Kay is beneath them. We may feel belittled like what we do is frivolous. Whatever the case may be, these are assumptions on our part. Why assume? Why not ASK a more involved question? (more…)
Mary Kay is a service based business. Any time customer service is involved, listening is a top priority. One excellent way to deal with adversity in our business (because let’s face it, adversity will happen to some extent) is to allow the person the opportunity to vent. We discussed this at length at tonight’s meeting. It was rather fascinating.
Mary Kay Ash often said to imagine each person with a negative connotation of Mary Kay Cosmetics is holding a glass filled with muck. As they begin to speak of what it is they are unhappy with about Mary Kay, think of the glass emptying out. Listen to every word they say. Do not object. Do not interrupt. Do not disagree. The moment we do these things, the person will shut down and they will stop pouring the contents of the glass. (more…)
I’ve officially registered for The 3 Day in 2008! I have about 10 months to raise $2200. My goal is to raise $200 in donations each month. October is the perfect month to get started! If anyone is interested in making a donation, you can do so online. My personal website is up and running! 
Yes, I’ve done it again! I’ve started yet another blog! 
Although I’m not officially registered for The 3 Day just yet, I’ve got my blog started. Miracle Walker is the blog in which I’m chronicling my experiences and progress in raising money for the Breast Cancer 3 Day. If you’re interested in reading it. I’ve linked to it from this site.
I’m contemplating giving the Breast Cancer 3 Day another try in 2008. I registered for the 2007 walk and failed to raise the required funds to participate in the walk. Perhaps by signing up now for the next year I can achieve my goal and join the walk. The first day is on hubby’s b-day. Not sure how I feel about that, but maybe he will turn a new leaf and join me!
So, if I decide once again to participate, I will post my intent here and will most likely write a new blog chronicling my progress. Of course I will still keep up with this blog as well. I’ll just be so busy! 
I’m excited to get to work fundraising. I learned some lessons this past year about the walk and how to raise the funds. I’m sure I will be able to make it happen in 2008. I love being a part of such important causes!
Currently, I spend most of my time in a bland cubicle. This is something I would have never predicted for myself in a million years. One thing I have known about myself my entire life was that I didn’t want to be “ordinary.” By “ordinary” I meant I didn’t want a conventional life like a cookie cutter. At a very young age my mother enrolled me in ballet. Later, I also became interested in theatre. In addition to those, I also took up singing. I came to realize I had some talents! What I ultimately wanted to do in life was to utilize these talents. If I could make a living doing things I enjoyed, BONUS! (more…)
