Unfortunately, MK won't release the actual figures because it would show how pitiful the earnings of their reps are. But fortunately, I have had numerous women give me their data for analysis. Sadly, even the women who MK proclaims are at the top 2% of the company are making very low incomes. Even the vast majority driving the not-so-free cars are only making $10,000 to $20,000 per year from Mary Kay. I've been researching this company for 6 years, and have plenty of data to support my conclusions. Hi Peter – Thanks for your interest in Mary Kay.

Stop waving your hands, start citing ACTUAL numbers instead of your prejudiced, biased, self-serving guesses. MLM milks most participants? Sure. Still, there are more than just a few ladies who pull down the "free" [sic] cars and the decent paychecks. Did it ever cross your mind that a SUBSTANTIAL segment of the MK MLM market just enjoy the spending money, the cheap cosmetics, and the chance to socialize? Apparently not. To you, it seems, that every woman without an accounting degree is just another barefoot and pregnant sucker. Get over it. You couldn't cut it in MK and you feel the imperative to assume that every other woman in the MK network is a victim. Speaks volumes for your character. Is MK a waste of time for most of its dealers? Sure. Is that an excuse for you to break out your "broad" brush? Nope. G'doverit. Sincerely, Pete Oh, for the love of Glub!

Recruiters brag about the 50% profit that can be earned on the sale of the cosmetics, but never mention that most products are sold at a discount and therefore that 50% will never be realized. (That.s if they can actually find anyone to buy the products.) New recruits are encouraged to buy large inventories without any sales experience or a customer base to support the inventory.
