How unfortunate, though, to have to put up with this kind of "sales pitch," at your OWN event, too! Not worth it. I hope they weren't invited back. Mad respect to all the MKBC’s here in this thread.

I avoid them at all costs, even if I truly do need assistance, it's just not worth it! Oh, the stories I have about over aggressive sales people.

selling or related to selling direct to the consumer; “retail trade”; “retail business”; “retail price”
at a retail price; “I’ll sell it to you retail only”
the selling of goods to consumers; usually in small quantities and not for resale

I don't consider it being in retail at all--its direct sales, it is what it is. Also the posts you are reading are pretty old. Why don't you take a peak at my about page--I'll tell you there that I also work in Public Relations. Long time readers know all the in's and out's of who I am and what I do--so no one is trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

I had just sold a product to a customer when the MK rep. tried to "unsell" it. It was rude and arrogant of her. However, it doesn't mean I hate MK or its rep.'s.

I love the satin hands, thats how i found your blog. the lady obviously loves it to, thats why she was probably 1 reason she was like that. I am a wsahm, and u know what biz i represent, but it stinks to know women like this leave such bad repore for us that struggle to have a good relationship with our customers...and to take care of every need for them. I personally am not pushy, i love my MK and i know not everyone will but since everybody can get a free facial, thats what i want to give out, the chance to try something. Your a retailer, looks like, u selling the beeswax. You believe in your stuff too right!! 1st upfront, sorry you feel the way u do. i see you have disgruntled feelings and dont know what happen to U personally to hate us so much. i agree there are some “ugly” MK ppl. i will be honest, my director, says we arent allowed to sell directly from a booth like that.

I am an MK consultant, and that makes me ashamed for the company. Fortunately, I am not pushy, and I do respect others' wishes. I am really sorry that happened.

The hype is actually comical. I don't have the pink cadilac mentality. However I do have choices. I can make it what I want to make of it. They can push what they want, that's what they do but it's what I choose to do with the advice. I'm sorry your experience was not a good one. I don't have crazy expectations, I'm actually happy to be able to support my own MK habit. If that's what I get out of it, its fine with me. Oh believe me I already see it.

And I do mean crap. I was right where you are about 3 years ago, I quit selling a little over a year ago because I was not willing to do the stupid things my director expected me to do in order to push people into buying stuff they didn't want or need. Her idea of "getting out of your comfort zone" was my idea of being an undignified idiot and I refuse to do that for anybody. Just give it time, you'll see what I mean.
