Working for MaryKay
My fiance and I have worked 3 different jobs over the last few years. And everytime, it was always JUST ENOUGH to pay the bills and buy groceries. Even the times we though we'd have extra money, something always managed to come up. It just wasn't enough. We couldn't save money, which has been our main goal the last 4 years. We wanted to save money to buy a house, we wanted to get a second car, we wanted to have extra money for emergencies, we have procedures we have to pay for. But we never have the money for any of those things because our regular jobs just weren't enough. Not to mention NO FLEXIBILITY, and NO JOB SECURITY. can you say "STRESSED" because that's where we were. Then one day, a very sweet lady offered me some free MaryKay samples, and of course as any girl who cares about skincare would, I jumped at it! She sent me to a facebook group where another beautiful woman did a live video showing how to use the products and spoke about her journey with MaryKay. She said some things that surprised me. First and foremost, MaryKay, unlike sephora or ulta, offers payment plans. That blew my mind and was really a make or break moment for me. Also, MaryKay consultants make 50% of commissions, THATS INSANELY HIGH! and lastly, Marykay is not a pyramid scheme, Everyone at every level makes a 50% profit. No one makes any less to pay the higher levels. So how do the higher levels make more money based on the lower levels? Simple. Commissions given to them by Mary Kay Corporate. It is coming out of the company’s pocket and not the lower level’s pockets. Again proving MaryKay is not a pyramid scheme. MaryKay pays you out of their 50% rather than taking out of the lower levels 50% which means money will never be taken from you, me or anyone who works for MaryKay to pay someone at a higher level. It'll be directly from MaryKays pocket. Just to break it down a little more, you start off making 50% and MaryKay makes 50% as you sell more product you move up, and as you move up you will start seeing your percentage go up from 50% while MaryKays percentage drops from 50%. So what you make has nothing to do with anyone else in the company. That(along with so many 9ther amazing things) is what sets this MLM company away from others. This company offers women a real chance with amazing well known products that sell themselves because there's already millions of women that use these products and love these products.
