Find out more about the business by calling the consultant in your area. She will answer any questions that you may have about selling Mary Kay.

Listen to all CD's located in your kit. They will help you with any selling issues that you may have.
Attend weekly training meetings with your unit. If your director is out of town, ask her to set you up with an "Adopted Director." This is really non-negotiable.
Meet up with some people who are Mary Kay beauty Consultants, talk a bit. Ask them questions about their job. Then ask them how could you get involved in the Mary Kay Business, chances are they can help you out a bit. Visit the website and try to learn a bit more to become the best Mary Kay consultant you can be!

Always smile; everyone loves a great smile.
Always have a positive attitude, no matter what. If you do not have a positive attitude, nobody will want to do business with you.
Inventory is not required, but it is recommended. Your customers will be much more loyal if you can provide her products immediately.
Remember you are in sales - whether it's a Cadillac or lipstick, the customer is king!
"Dress for success". If you're not dressed well in a business-like manner, then your customers will not take you seriously.
Your director wants you to succeed! Share your goals with her. She will sit down with you and map out a step by step plan based on the income you need and the time you're willing to invest in your business.

Do not expect your business to take off right away; it takes hard work and determination but if you have the right attitude you can make this work.
The "Starter Kit" offered presently only has a few catalogs. You will likely need to purchase additional catalogs from Mary Kay initially and as your business grows.
The cost of supplies can be prohibitive. To be safe, allow at least $200 in the first few months alone to cover JUST Mary Kay supplies (catalogs, eye-liner which is not included in kit, postcards, product samples, other brochures)
You are never required to purchase anything if you want to become a consultant but your starter kit $100 + tax + shipping
The Mary Kay company will encourage you to buy inventory with your first purchase, which must be at least $200 wholesale if you want to stay active($400 retail). If you want to purchase less than that initially, you will need to pay full price.

To be eligible to sell, you must be 18 years of age.
$100 for a starter kit
Business apparel. You don't need to purchase a whole new wardrobe. A black skirt, white blouse, and black heels are appropriate for all MK functions.
Interview the Mary Kay Consultant/Director who is recruiting you. Find out what kind of support system you will have ahead of time.
