Additional Translations

"Think outside the box" means let your director think for you and tell you what to do.

"Warm chatter" which means talk to strangers and get them to listen to your line.

"Get referrals" means have your friends give you names and numbers of more people you can harass.

"Book and hold skin care classes" means talk a reluctant person into having one and then call them everyday up till the party to make sure they are still having it.

"Get a phone number from each guest" so that they too can "hold a class" and get a phone call daily from you.

"Do not be pushy" in Mary Kay terms just means do not resort to violence to get your bookings and try not to call after midnight.

"Be discreet " in Mary Kay jargon means use Star 67 on the phone so that your number comes up unavailable.

"Reach for the Stars" means reach for your credit card.

"You are not required to purchase inventory" is only the beginning of the sentence. Once you sign your agreement the rest of the sentence goes "but if you want to succeed you will. You wouldn't open a store without inventory"

"Attend your units meetings" means pay $4 to sit at someones house after an already long day for 2 plus hours in a skirt or dress. If you haven't purchased anything for the week, you will not be getting a cute little 99 cent charm. If you spent at least $200 though you will get an awesome ribbon.

"Think and act positive" means pretend you are always happy. When someone asks how business is say "GREAT" even if as you say it you are on your way to see your lawyer about filing for bankruptcy.

When you reach someone on the phone, before they hang up on you tell them "I am so excited about this new product from Mary Kay. Is there any reason I couldn't come over and show you and 3 or more friends the new product?"

"Go to Seminar" means use your vacation time from your normal job for an out of town Mary Kay pep rally. Prepare to pay for your trip. You will get to share a room with 3 other consultants!"

"Time is money" means do not waste time hanging out with non Mary Kay friends. They will only hold you back from being a Mega Star.

"Mega Star" is someone who spends "mega bucks" on cosmetics that they will not sell or not use.

"Do you have a quick minute?" is a question that will literally translate to "Do you have three hours and thirty friends? You do!!! Well, let me tell you about XYZ"

    Oh, jenni just makes me want to puke. Deep down, in the middle of the night, I know she's having warm chat nightmares.

    Thank you for the post. I wish you luck but please do check back. I'm sure it won't be long before you're doing your own bashing. I find it hard to believe that this is the only site you found posting negative info. My question is, "Why were you searching for negative information in the first place?"

    Please, please, please, do yourself a favor -- DO NOT USE YOUR CREDIT CARDS to purchase inventory. Every so often you will be sucked into buying more so you can move yourself up the ladder for some cheap piece of jewelry that you wouldn't purchase yourself from a gum machine. If you want to be successful, please sell before you purchase and don't stock inventory. Your director will tell you that stocking your inventory will make you more successful. Not true! Good luck.

    Remember to check back!
