But my director was wacked. I was royally p.o. with her when I walked.<BR/><BR/>I'm sitting down here trying to figure out what my fascination is with Mary Kay. I'm out so what do I keep hanging on?<BR/><BR/>I really liked the idea of selling Mary Kay. Was really disappointed that I couldn't do it (for a myriad of reasons, not just because my director/recruiter set me up for "failure".) I say that tongue in cheek. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, I'm my own maker and I walked away because, simply put, I'm not a sales person.<BR/><BR/>Guess I just like to live vicariously through others... oh and I'm obviously addicted to the drama... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716666792083573252.post-41980192908914457682008-11-18T06:26:00.000-08:002008-11-18T06:26:00.000-08:00Unfortunately I did lose money.

Could have been a lot worse, but to someone like me that's not pocket change either.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line: I had low sales and I guessed completely wrong about what things customers would like best so my inventory was messed up. I think there should have been guidance for me on that, but there wasn't. Also, MK doesn't permit the kind of advertising that I think would be effective, and I'm not good at doing the things that MK approves for getting customers.<BR/><BR/>I didn't lose self esteem though. It's hard to chip away at my self esteem. I'm a tough old bird. Mostly my feeling at the end of it was "Crap! I lost money!"Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501193997219416369noreply@blogger.com
