What if I meet Someone Who Lost Their Consultant ~ Can She Be My Customer?
Upon meeting a new potential customer who has shown an interest in our products, you will want to first ask her, “Do you have a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant who is currently servicing you?”
WE NEVER, NEVER, NEVER TAKE ANOTHER CONSULTANT’S CUSTOMER!!!
Doing so would be a breach of the Mary Kay Golden Rule, out of consultant integrity and considered poor business conduct.
However, you may come across a customer who has lost her consultant, her consultant moved away & is no longer servicing her, a customer who recently moved into the area & is not maintaining a mail order relationship with her former consultant, or a customer whose consultant is no longer selling product. In that case YOU ARE WELCOME TO ASSUME HER INTO YOUR CUSTOMER BASE & BEGIN SERVIC-ING HER PRODUCT NEEDS.
There is ONE EXCEPTION, as a rule of thumb: If you come across a current MK user who has purchased from another consultant, but that consultant HAS NOT SERVICED that customer by telephone or mail in the PAST 6 MONTHS, you may assume her as your customer and immediately enroll her into your Preferred Customer List. Your customers should hear from YOU every 6-8 weeks!
Here are a few more customer situations that you may experience & some suggested ways to handle them:
• What if one of my customer’s family members becomes a consultant? - The customer would naturally buy from her family before an outsider. Honor her decision & share that if things should change in the future you would gladly welcome her back as your preferred customer. • What if I recruit someone who was my customer & she held a class for me & 3 of her friends are
my customers now? Who gets the customers? - Naturally you want the greatest success for your new recruit. It is recommended that you give your recruit her friends as “starter” customers with the understanding that if she ever leaves the business or is not actively servicing them (6 month policy) you will get them back. • What if I find a customer who wants to buy from me, not her current consultant? - This can be a tricky situation & potentially hazardous. The best possible way to handle this situation is to have the customer inform the other consultant of her purchasing loyalty switch. You do not want to create ANY hard or sore feelings between yourself & your sister consultants. You also do not want a reputation for being a “customer thief” either! Tread lightly in this situation & seek the advice of your recruiter & Director BEFORE taking any action. • What if someone else’s customer ends up at my class, party or On-the-Go appointment? - As a rule of thumb, you can sell to the customer on a ONE TIME basis. Refer her back to her current consultant for future purchases. Inform her to keep your card & if she ever looses her current consultant, you would be happy to have her as a preferred customer. • What if another consultant takes my customer? What do I do? - This only happens rarely because consultants follow the rules of protocol. However, if this should happen to you, seek the advice of your recruiter or Director and she can give you some simple steps of action to take. Maintain your professional demeanor & handle the situation with the Go Give spirit in mind. This is even more unlikely if you are offering your customers World Class Mary Kay Service! Loyal customers don’t switch consultants!

Hi,_____ this is _____! How are you? Great. Did I catch you at a good time? Great. I just had to callyou, I am so excited! I know you know that I just started my very own business with Mary Kay and thesecond phase of my training is to listen to my Director share our career information with 5 sharp womenthis month! By listening to her – It will help me learn the appropriate way to share the information!! Iwanted to ask you, because I really respect you and I value your opinion! _____, I know you wouldprobably never be interested in doing Mary Kay and that’s ok!!! By listening you would just be helpingme complete the second phase o my training! I’ll buy you coffee and dessert at your favorite restaurant…how does that sound? When is a good time to get together? (Set time and date within 48 hours!!!)
If there is absolutely, no time available for lunch or after work hours, then ask if it would be okay forCaterina, your director to call to chat with they briefly over the phone. Could she call for a quick 30second talk just to set the time with you. Or depending on the day you could ask if she would listen to themarketing plan as guest on our Weekly Conference Call at 6:50 PM PST at 646 -519-5830 Pin 2003# .Call her and remind her and call your director to RSVP.
A live appointment is 100% better than a phone or conference call appointment, but the phone is betterthan booking the appointment too far off in the future.

AFFIRMATIONS Affirmations can make the difference between success and failure. I have never understood the principle, but I do live by it. The things that we say to ourselves have a tremendous affect on the way our mind processes things that are happening. The subconscious doesn't know the difference between what is real and what is imagined. It just takes everything we tell it as real - for instance, when you say, "this headache is killing me," your mind processes that to be true. The headache gets worse. I remember Margaret, a Director friend, saying that ever since she came into Mary Kay, she was told to make an affirmation tape. She just never got it done. After three months of struggling through DIQ and still having a long way to go, Margaret decided to take that advice. She made a positive affirmation tape at the beginning of the fourth month. She finished that month. I can't remember her numbers exactly, but it seems she recruited and activated between 13 and 17 people that month. Positive affirmations really do work. Try these everyday this month and just see what happens: I AM SUCCESSFUL, CONFIDENT, and ENTHUSIASTIC!!!!!!! I exercise daily control over my emotions and work habits. I always look for the best in myself. My positive attitude keeps me focused on my goal and inspires others. I AM A MASTER BOOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get at least two or three bookings from each class because each guest has a great time and wants the products I have to offer. I book everywhere I go because I believe that every woman desires to look and feel better. Booking is easy for me because I love people and I love what I do. I book sharp women. I am confident, sincere and enthusiastic! I AM EXCELLENT AT CLOSING THE SALE!!!!!!!!!! I do a great job at overcoming objections. I feel confident and comfortable talking with each guest individually. They trust me and appreciate my service. I KNOW GOD LOVES ME AND WANTS ME TO SUCCEED!!!!!! Thus, I will press on daily toward my goal. I overcome any circumstances, condition or obstacles that could hold me back. Every day I strive to be the best "me" possible! "God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him."
Sometimes Reaching a DreamTakes Courage
Courage is admitting that you’re afraid and facing that feardirectly. It is being strong enough to ask for help and
humble enough to accept it. Courage is standing up for whatyou believe in without worrying about the opinions of oth-ers. It’s following your own heart, living your own life, andsettling for nothing less than the best for yourself.
Courage is daring to take the first step, a big leap, or a dif-ferent path. It’s attempting to do something that no one
has done before and all others thought impossible. Courage iskeeping heart in the face of disappointment and looking at de-feat not as an end but as a new beginning. It’s believing thatthings will ultimately get better even as they get worse.
Courage is being responsible for your own actions andadmitting your own mistakes without placing blame on
others. It’s relying not on others for your success, but on yourown skills and efforts.
Courage is refusing to quit even when you’re intimidatedby impossibility. It’s choosing a goal, sticking with it, and
finding solutions to the problems.
Courage is thinking big, aiming high, and shooting far. It’staking a dream and doing anything, risking everything,
and stopping at nothing to make it a reality.

How to Work Your Business withSmall Children
By Pam C. Brown
My children are 6 and 7, and they certainly keep me busy. I have worked MK in all aspects of my life:in college, single, married with out children, pregnant, with children, and while teaching school. Ifyou truly have the burning desire to change your current situation in life then you can and willmake it happen! I really didn’t have a choice…once I realized that I couldn’t keep living day in and dayout teaching school and living for the weekend or even just for 3:30 in the afternoon…everyday!! IREALLY STARTED TO BECOME LIKE THE OTHER NEGATIVE NELLIES that I hung around andit was flowing over into my personal life. I was then ready and more committed then ever to make achange for the better! What a blessing Mary Kay was at that time and continues to be within my life andthe lives of those most important to me!!
How I managed my time and maintained balance while the children were small:
I always held classes and facials within my home! I romanced to all of my clients the benefit about nothaving to clean their home and just escaping away from it all and coming to my home for their PamperingSession or their SCClass. I had the children with me and occasionally I would have my neighbor (13 ye arsold) come over and entertain the children while I had my class . I never paid my sitter either. Theyalways worked for MK products and bath and body gels! Till this day. I still operate that way!
It is wonderful! I would also plan only 3 days a week where I scheduled classes, facials, and interviews. Ialways tried planning them around the kid’s naps. I worked a lot during the day and really only spent 1 to2 nights TOPS out a week – for meeting and then either a training or a workshop or guest event, etc. Mostweeks I really was out only 1 night a week!
I absolutely LOVE this business with a passion and I always over book, over schedule, and inviteseveral hostesses at one time so that I am working smart and not hard. Taking up less of my time toachieve the same results as if I would have scheduled 3 classes at different times and on different nights . Iwould have 5-8 people with a new consultant or a potential consultant that I would be training asmy helper… It was always done at my home and under ½ the time. That simple!
The children grow up so fast and initially my kids did not want mommy to work. They would have a fitwhen my time was taken away from them for all of 1 hour at a time. So, when the children were 4 and 5, Ihad a little Tupperware box that they cut out pictures of Mickey Mouse and taped them on. They want edto go to Disney world. So that was my thing - I had to come up with a plan so that they wouldn’t becrying hysterically while I was in the other room having a class. I decided to give them each $1 to put inthe box to go toward Disney World for every class or facial that mommy held… BOY did that turn thingsaround! They were constantly asking me “Mom, do have you have people who need makeup comingover tonight?” And you better believe, if I didn’t have at least 2 -3 appointments a week, they made mefeel so guilty. It was like I was taking away from them! It really worked and I worked so hard thatyear and did Queens Court of Sales and took my family on a Disney Cruise for 1 week… T hanks toMK!Guess what? We are going on that Disney Cruise again in October and we have started it all up again… Itis so much fun!
They are my reasons for working this AWESOME BUSINESS! How Blessed we all are to have anopportunity such as Mary Kay in our lives! Opportunity is often missed because it is disguised ashard work. You MUST have a vision.
Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on you own understandings, in all your waysacknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5 -6
