Happy Mary Kay New Year!

TODAY is my most favorite day of the Mary Kay year because we all START at ZERO! That means, that If I’m going for it- YOU CAN TOO! We have the same exact amount of time to accomplish this years goals!

I am so excited to kick off the new year with some changes and a brand new focus that I have spent hours praying and planning on. I know you’ll be just as excited as I am! The company also has some GREAT kick off promotions for the new year as well!

NOW- Before you get overwhelmed by the promotions below- KNOW that if you focus JUST on Project Super Star- it will allow you to accomplish EVERYTHING listed below. I still would encourage you to track the contests below that you want to achieve so you know where you are throughout the year.


PEARLS of SHARING
NOTE: I am reopening this contest to our ENTIRE unit ONLY for the month of July- after that, it will be for new consultants only.
Earn your limited edition Pearls of Sharing! These are SOOO cute and very “vintage”- I LOVE THEM! Receive a full set of beautiful pearls (necklace, earrings, bracelet) when you book six sharing appointments and get one new team member this month! (See attached tracking sheet for more details)




National Court of Sales
July 1, 2009- June 30, 2010
Oh my STARS!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ZEBRA print ring!!! How about you? This is a contest you DON’T want to get behind on- and again, If you focus on 30 faces each month and servicing your re-order business, it’s a done deal! Aside from the ring, the recognition that you get on stage at Seminar next year in front of thousands of people is AMAZING!! You can see ALL of the seminar prizes on intouch under Recognition --> Seminar 2010 Awards. They have a men’s ring for your hubby, a beautiful amethyst ring, and a LAPTOP!!

$36,000 in Retail sales over the year- approx. $3,000 in sales per month – about $1350 wholesale when you include the BONUS credit they give you on the FREE product!

This is DOABLE- it just needs to be planned out! If the numbers intimidate you, I can send you an excel spread sheet for a gradual progression towards this goal!! This is something that I’m also here to help you plan out- so let me know!


National Court of Sharing- The bee is the key!
24 Qualified recruits
A qualified recruit is one who places a $600 wholesale order with the company throughout the year- in other words...their order can be cumulative to equal $600 by the end of the year!


Customers Count Challenge
Seriously! Mary Kay is THROWING jewelry at us!!! I couldn’t post a picture on here but did you go on the front page of intouch and see the beautiful jewelry they are offering for the customers count challenge!!! Don’t miss out on that!!

New Consultant Programs have just GOTTEN BETTER!!
Later next week, I am so excited to launch our BRAND NEW new consultant training program! Based on your feedback, this online video series WITH worksheets is sure to have your new team members hit the ground running, and complete their training ON THEIR schedule! Because MANY of you have expressed your desire to get back into your business or have a jump start, these videos will be available to EVERYONE.

Here is a preview of some of the topics that will be covered:

  • Starter kit contents and what to do with it all
  • Booking your first 10 classes
  • Perfecting the skill of getting bookings from booking to keep your datebook solid
  • Star Consultant program- how and why to achieve it EVERY quarter
  • How to earn a free car in 6 months or less!

AND- New consultants who complete their training in their first 30 days of business will receive a special prize from me!

BUT- we’re kicking off the new year strong right? :-) SO- for the month of July, I am opening up the prize to ALL consultants who complete the training this month. These are VERY detailed videos, so they’ll be sure to educate even the most seasoned consultant.


Watch for a second email from me next week once the videos are up and running!


NOW- before you start hyperventilating on me …. Did you notice how ALL of the challenges really tie in with one another? Focus on the Super Star program and the others will all fall into place! Just remember to track them, but focus on being a SUPER STAR/SUPER STAR ELITE!

Again, I am THRILLED to hit the ground running this year! I know so many of you have HUGE goals and I want you to know that I take those personally! I love to watch this business Change lives! I can’t wait to hear from you!

Let's Get this NEW YEAR Started!

Get Started!!

by Ralph Marston

If you can't imagine how you'll get it done, just get started.
The moment you begin, the objective becomes
infinitely more achievable than it was before.

It's great to dream and plan and speculate.
Yet there is no substitute for action.

Action seals your commitment to achieve.
Action places you in a powerful, achievement-oriented perspective.

When you take the first step, you become clear about what
the next step must be.
When you take the next step, you have created a momentum
that can continue pushing you all the way to the end.

Go beyond just thinking you can do it. Take action, and know
for sure.

When there's something to be done, then there's something you can do.
Get started and get the power of action working for you.
