Take for instance, this latest lament from "SuzyQ" of Pink Truth.
"Oh, I wish I had the magic words! Just what does it take to get the message across to the pink believers that MK is a scam? What part don't they get?"
She follows this up with 13 "short reminders" allegedly in hopes of convincing "pink believers" that Mary Kay is a scam.
With the exception of (maybe) the 13th example, none of her "reminders" come anywhere near demonstrating that Mary Kay is a scam.
She concludes,
"Decided to stop at 13 as that is the Mary Kay sacred number. Please. You can not make it in MLM. Read and listen. Watch and learn. I promise you, your dream is carved in sand."
Here is an interesting thought about all this.
What is the real problem here?
We recently discussed (thanks to shadesofpink) the "proliferation of misinformation".
Consider two different consultants. For the sake of argument, let's assume both of them started Mary Kay at about the same time, were "in" for about the same amount of time, and ultimately decided to stop representing the Mary Kay brand.
Both sat under the same director, were recruited by the same recruiter, and had, basically, the same "version" of the opportunity presented to them.
One of them, like "SuzyQ", was caught up in the enthusiasm and energy of a charismatic leader, took away her own version of the key selling points, and went about selling the "omg-incredible-amazing-perfect-infallible-opportunity" in her own way.
Unfortunately for her (person 1) there were a lot more people in this world that were more like person 2 than she had expected.
The second one, realizing that there is no such thing as "too good to be true" wanted all the information. When "they" said, "no quotas", she asked, "what if I never sell anything?" When "they" said, "best selling brand in the U.S.", she wanted to know, "what is that based on?"
They both were convinced to give this thing a go.
The first one went in headfirst, like Pete Rose. (AD anyone?)
The second one "took some convincing".
In this story, it didn't work out for either one of them.
But which one do you think ended up in debt?
Which one, do you suppose, burned some relationship bridges and is now bitter at the entire company?
And finally, the reason I am so openly hostile to the majority of Pink Truth members, which one do you think is now on a smear site parroting vicious lies that she hasn't taken the time to verify?
Now please hear me. I do not know anything about SuzyQ. To be perfectly honest, I do not even do that good of a job keeping track of who's who on that site. I do not know what her Mary Kay experience was like. Please don't get distracted by that.
My point here is simply this.
"SuzyQ" just posted, antagonistically, that Mary Kay is a scam.
Her "defense" of this assertion is riddled with lies for one. (no, not the Mary Kay kind, the Pink Truth kind) It also (even if her lies were true) does not in any way defend the premise that Mary Kay is a scam.
No wonder her "brand" of Mary Kay hate (her and the ones that think like her) is never well defended on objective sites like this one. I guarantee that if she were to post that on this site, she would eventually realize that she has no clue what she is talking about and say, "just go visit pinktruth.com".
And this is the site that is supposed to be promoting the "Truth about Mary Kay"?
Pathetic.
