Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI live in Ottawa Canada and have been doing some research recently regarding Mary Kay and have been contemplating on becoming a representative. I have read numerous negative stories about pushy directors and that has concerned me quite a bit. Nonetheless I contacted a representative in my area on Friday looking to join and have not heard back from her yet and then decided to send an email directly to the company this morning and have not had a reply back from them either. This all very disappointing. I was all gung ho to start and then read so many discouraging stories and still have not had any replies back from anyone regarding sign up that I'm just beginning to wonder about all this?. Is this usual to have to wait so long to get start up information etc?.
Many thanks,
Kathleen
It is absolutely unusual to have to wait. Most consultants with a potential team member would jump right now it... have you heard back yet??
ReplyDeleteIf you want negative stories, there are negative sites, but please take time and look back thru our site, we aren't all candy coated -- we are real here!! Welcome!!
