Which one should I sell...Mary Kay or Mark? -

I am interested in selling for either Mary Kay or Mark but not sure which would be the best company to sell for. I am currently a student and find it hard to find a job hat works around school I figured selling this stuff would be a good idea, but not so sure about which one would be the best to sell. So which one should I choose and why? thanks!!

Mary Kay.Why? Two words: pink cadillac. ;)

If you are a student then your prime clients will be students as well. What are the prices are they the same or is one less expensive than the other? What do your friends prefer to wear? Personally I would buy Mark before Mary Kay but that s just me, never really liked Mary Kay did a few parties, even looked into selling it, but start up with Mary Kay is also higher than star up with Mark, which is easiest for you to afford? Ask around to your friends and family and see which ones they would prefer to buy from you.

Hi!Have you looked into Scentsy? It s a wickless, flamelss candle company. With it being safe for kids and pets, I jumped on the opportunity. It s perfect for students because most dorms don t allow wicked candles. Dorm Directors love Scentsy! I love that my customers are always coming back for more. When they run out of wax or like the new scent of the month, they know who to go to. It s a great company and I m having an amazing time.Good luck! I hope you find something that works well for you.Lisa

be careful with that question, I thought you were selling slaves

I know that Mary Kay is a Multi-level marketing company (MLM). Statistics show that 99% of women lose money in all MLMs. I ve never sold Mark (so I don t know if it falls in that same category--I m assuming it does however!). However, I used to sell Mary Kay myself and I regret the decision.1. A Mary Kay Lady will tell you that you only need $100 for a starter kit. This is true, however in the days following signing your agreement you will be strongly encouraged, manipulated, guilt tripped in any way possible to buy a large inventory package. This is where women get themselves in trouble, and wind up putting thousands on a credit card. You don t have to buy the inventory but the shipping cost for lots of small shipment will severely cut into your profit. Beware--recruiters will do whatever it takes to get you to buy that package. They make a commission!2. It takes a lot of time to make any money. Don t expect to get rich. It sounds great because you make 50% of whatever you sell right? Say you sold a $100 order to a customer at a home party. You would get $50. That means in order to make $20,000 a year you would have to find 400 people to buy $100 of product. From personal experience this is very difficult. Most people aren t willing to buy $100, and you begin to run out of people to sell to. The way Mary Kay would recommend getting over this is talking to strangers in grocery stores, malls, and anywhere you go. The market is saturated with people desperately trying to sell these products. Besides...20,000 is hardly enough to quit your job over.3. Since Mary Kay does its business through parties. You would have to go to hundreds of woman s home in a year! Mary Kay promises you will get to spend more time with your family and spend time at home. This does not happen because you will be at people s homes, Mary Kay meetings every week, or prowling the mall looking for people to sell to/recruit.4. You only can make a good amount of money by convincing others to sell Mary Kay too. Actually you can only make money if they buy inventory so you can make commission. This means you have to convince all your friends, family and coworkers to sign up and put thousands on their credit cards for inventory they probably won t sell very much of.I m sure a lot of people will disagree with what I ve just said. Some pf them will claim their life is fantastic because of the Mary Kay way. But if you need more proof go to http://www.pinktruth.com/ There you will find lots of women burned by the Mary Kay industry. These women include professionals, and people who worked hard at selling but still got the short end of the stick.If you are considering signing up think hard about it. There are only a small percentage of people in Mary Kay that make a lot of money. Almost everyone will tell you that they are making a ton. This is usually not true. Mary Kay ladies are famous for the phrase Fake it till you make it. Research more on Mark. Something tells me you won t make a lot of money. However, I know that you won t be encouraged to buy inventory which already seems like a better deal.Best of Luck!!!
