Since the holidays are literally just around the corner it is time to think about holiday selling and still working through the hussle and bustle of the holiday season. I’ll admit, in the past I have always been intimidated by November and December. The first year I was working my business I did a craft bazaar at a church and when I called the leads many were too busy due to holiday plans. This year (5 years later) is different! For the first time I am READY for the season and will take control of the situation. (more…)
Perfect article from Get Motivation if you struggle with setting goals. I had trouble with goal setting for quite a long time. My biggest issue was always figuring out what short-term goals were necessary to work toward the long-term goal. (more…)
Did you know there are more than 12 days left until Christmas? I wasn’t even paying attention. There are actually 13 more shopping days left. That is a lot of time and tonight at my meeting, my eyes were opened to so many possibilities that I just have to share my new knowledge! Once a month, our unit joins 5 or 6 other units for a large training session. Tonight was the December night! I was able to train with directors I don’t see on a weekly basis. It was excellent.

Have you ever mentioned to someone that you are a Mary Kay Consultant and received an eyeroll in response? Or, maybe you told a close friend or relative you’ve decided to become a Mary Kay Consultant and her response was less than *ahem* enthusiastic. It can be a powerful deflator, can’t it? Our toughest customers are the people who know us best because they know us from way back when we couldn’t sell enough candy for girl scouts! What begins to happen is an internalization of any adversity or rejection. We take it personally. It simply can’t be taken personally. Most likely, it has nothing to do with us. (more…)

This article by Ron White is about how to measure success and how to leave a positive mark on this Earth. I think it’s a beautiful reflection on determining what’s most important in life and in measuring our own success: (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…)
