Just shared with some people, I have always thought it was an excuse. I was trying to find information on calculating market saturation. Someone had once told me 10% of the population? Found your article and loved it! Thank you. I love this! Just shared with some people, I have always thought it was an excuse. I was trying to find information on calculating market saturation.

I am MK consultant, have been for about 20 years. I am just now seeing the ugly things people have said about the company I adore and it makes me question whst people are thinking. Sales is a hard job, it does get discouraging (they tell us that, in the beginning) but that's not the end of the story. When I start going in the direction of pity I remind myself I have lived in this city for 20+ years and only 1 person ever approached me about a facial/opportunity. Surely I am not the only one...</p><p>So get up, hook your look, put a smile on your face and work this business. Work the numbers, just like any other sales position. If it's not for you (it's not for everyone) then say that, it's ok and end it. Do not bash the company itself.</p> I am so glad to see another person that feels personal responsibility is the key.

If that doesn't convince you that there are still customers out there, how about this: the $1 store sells cosmetics and skin care. As long as there are people out there getting stuff from the $1 store, there are people out there who need MK. (And getting it free as a hostess will even save them money! LOL)</p> My director cited a study that found that 91% of the women in the U.S. use something besides MK.

It's nice to know there are people like Christy and Chris (now there's a coincidence) out there who recognize this for what it is: an opportunity to succeed. <br /><br />I'm sure there are millions of others out there, just like Chris and Christy who will not let the excuse makers stop them.<br /><br />Keep up the good work and keep pushing.

I'm sure there are millions of others out there, just like Chris and Christy who will not let the excuse makers stop them.

Keep up the good work and keep pushing. There's plenty of business out there.

I am a financial advisor and I also have a direct sales business on the side I do for fun. There are always people out there who need my services or my products. I have about 8 friends that sell MaryKay and the ones that spend time working their business are doing extremely well. My side business is PartyLite. I have hostesses that have had several different consultants come through and I still have plenty of business. There are so many people, at least 150 million households according to our research, that have not been exposed to our products. So, it is about meeting new people and stepping out of your comfort zone. You can succeed at anything you really put your heart and mind to. Create a plan and move forward. And yes, find out where there is too much competition... then go be the excellent consultant you are and enjoy the rewards.<br /><br /> I agree.
