Mary Kay Reps manipulates her down line for returning products says she will have to file for bankruptcy
This is from 2015. A friend forwarded this to me years back. All I can say is holy manipulation (!!!!!) as they like to use exclamation marks and CAPITAL LETTERS.
I totally forgot about this. A friend thankfully got out but the crap she dealt with. My favorite line is if you send product back you lose your discount and will never be able to join MK again. Oh the HORROR!!!!!!
Trying to guilt trip her down line she might have to file for bankruptcy for returning product.
Obv the first sentograph is from a stressed out friend. Proud to say we are friends today and both know the difference between you’re and your.
4 screenshots attached.
Edit
Here is the text incase you can’t see the screenshots
The email is forwarded so the sentograph from my friend says.
“here it is check out this mind fuck I will be the 8th consultant to send product back she told me at least 50 fucking times i could send product back so her heart is going to be heavier I am so sorry I tried recruiting you I was just doing what I was taught and thank you for helping me see the light and not ditching me as a friend I love you so much and thankful for you oh when she says this is why i teach you to package she means getting the mark to buy as much as possible that can’t be returned like limited editions ets “
Dear Consultant,
I am sorry this is not sent using my newsletter tools I showed you how to use and this is just a generic email please know I am sitting here sad, stunned, angry, confused and very hurt. Almost every emotion one can have at one time and this is why.
It is with a heavy heart I announce I received my 7th chargeback in the last month. Not for reasons you might think but more importantly, do you know what this means for me? When you send your product back to MARYKAY the commission we are paid MUST be paid back. And that total is deducted from our unit as a whole. This hurts you also.
MARYKAY has a generous buyback policy, yes, no other skin care company would allow you to keep product for a year and return it for a 90% refund but MaryKay Ash stood behind her product and sometimes I think it was to our detriment because they can't allow us to keep our earned commission. Yes, our earned commission is GONE. We are talking THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CORPORATE ALLOWED THEM
TO RETURN!!!!! This is why I teach you how to package so it will NOT hurt you.
What really ruffles my feathers is not one of the ex-consultants who sent back THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS worth of inventory bothered to come to me beforehand. When you signed up under me as I did with you I make everyone promise if you have any issues or need help you will come to me if you need anything. I make it clear you are to come to me for anything. When I promise someone something, I keep my word. I am sorry it was not done for me.
When I was notified by corporate (again) on my last chargeback, I again reached out to every consultants for an exit interview and not one of them responded to my text messages or emails. I am heartbroken.
How would YOU FEEL IF YOU INVESTED YOUR TIME to make sure you set her up for success and this was done to you? I spend countless of hours making sure you are set up for success, one of ways I do this is with my newsletters. Not only do I take pride in designing my newsletters for you I also take pride in PUTTING THE WORK IN TO THEM FOR YOU.

YOUR GOING TO MAKE US FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY.
IS THIS FAIR?
I now need to not only pay these charges back but somehow duplicate these sales so our unit stays afloat.
Will you help? Will you step forward and pull your weiaht? I hope so. There is no "I” in TEAM and I can't do this alone and I am counting ON YOU. Be on the lookout for my next newsletter on what you can do to help.
I have to cut this short because I am running late for a skin care class, but please remember: I can't help you if you don't let me help you. I also want to remind you if you send product back you can never sign up for MARYKAY again and you will lose your discount privileges. Just a reminder.
Until Next Time!”
