PARTY TIME!

Parties are also where you can connect with others, make new friends and develop lifelong relationships. And the great news, all of this can happen in person or virtually!

While in-person and virtual parties are unique, we’ve got common tips that apply to both:

• Make your customers feel important. Reach out before the party with details they need, and share your excitement. During the party, remember to picture each person with a sign around her neck that says, “Make Me Feel Important.” Afterward, thank each person for their time, and be sure to follow up!

SHOP MY

• Promote booking a followup appointment. At your parties, talk about the followup appointment, and try to schedule that next meeting as a follow-up consultation or color or pampering appointment.

• Get social. For instant connection and unlimited reach, social media is an essential resource for keeping the dream alive – and thriving –for the next 60 years. That’s why it’s time to up your social presence by being a Mary Kay Social Creator!

PARTY!

This new party management tool makes it easier than ever to host a party. You create a unique, shareable link for each party. You or your hostess can send this link to her guests via email or text to shop her party. When her guests shop, all sales are automatically calculated to her party so you can easily track sales toward her hostess rewards. It can help you get more hostess leads and increase party sales. It can also help you manage your parties and make it easier to calculate your hostess rewards! This new tool is available now and it’s free! Get details!

BONUS!

When users click the party link from their phones, it prompts them to download the Mary Kay® App or opens it if they already have it! This makes it easy for your customers to shop with you!

MAY 2023

It was 2018 and Wandra Alleyne needed to take a step back from her Mary Kay business. The loving daughter, sister and mother had lost her mother, sister and son, Montiel, all within the span of a few months.

“It was a painful time in my life, and I needed personal time to grieve and heal,” says Wandra. “Throughout that period, my Mary Kay sisters were the ones who stood beside me and helped me through all the pain and hurt. They were my strongest supporters, along with my husband Mark, daughter Ayanna and son Marquise.

ALL IN

“One day at lunch with my friend, Independent Executive Senior Sales Director Stacy Ervin, she shared her dream of building her National Area. It had been two years since the tragedies. I was ready and all in to help and support her as she had done for me. I submitted my Independent Beauty Consultant Agreement for the second time in July 2020, and away I went!”

WHAT’S DIFFERENT

Having been an Independent Sales Director before, Wandra was quick to jump in, hold parties, reach out to new customers and team members and grow her business. Only this time, it was in the middle of the pandemic.

“I knew the Mary Kay culture and what a great company it is,” says Wandra. “I did need to learn how to work my business differently holding parties virtually and having a bigger social media presence to reach new customers and potential team members. But the basics of enriching women’s lives and helping others reach their goals didn’t change, and it’s what motivates me still. I love seeing the change in women when they feel supported and encouraged. Like Mary Kay Ash said, ‘I’ve often said that we are doing something far more important than just selling cosmetics; we are changing lives.’”

Wandra became an Independent Sales Director that November and earned the use of her Mary Kay career car the same month. At seminar 2020, she achieved Double Star status.

DREAM CAST

“Career Conference came around that next spring, and something sparked inside me,” says Wandra. “I had earned a spot in the Top 10 in Court of Sharing. It was there at Career Conference that me and my unit members decided to stretch and set our sights on becoming a pink Cadillac unit.” To motivate and spur the momentum they had experienced, Wandra sent her unit red hot chili pepper seeds in a packet along with a pink Cadillac postcard. She wrote, ‘Here’s to our being a red hot pink Cadillac unit.’ Many were new in their Mary Kay businesses, and 2022 was going to be the first time they had ever attended Seminar. “I painted a picture that we could eat a cold box lunch, or we could experience fine dining at the pink Cadillac luncheon. Of course, they all wanted in on the fine dining experience!”

PINK CADDY UNIT

Wandra says with good old-fashioned hard work, consistency and perseverance, she and her unit achieved their stretch goal exactly one year later and earned the use of a Mary Kay pink Cadillac in March 2022. She picked up her Cadillac on July 6, her birthday. “The experience was definitely bittersweet,” she says. “Naturally I was grateful and excited for our unit, but my dad who had been ill passed away before he had a chance to ride in it.”

With his death coinciding with Seminar 2022, Wandra had a decision to make. She could stay home or be present for her unit in Dallas at Seminar. She chose the latter. “I didn’t want my unit to be there without me. They worked hard and deserved the recognition, and I wanted to be there and celebrate all our achievements.

A SISTERHOOD

“I was accustomed to the camaraderie I had from my 20-year military career, but to me, Mary Kay is even more unique to find this level of support with a group of women. It’s exactly why I love my Mary Kay business and the sisterhood it offers me.”

Wandra says she experiences that daily. “I love watching women feel more confident and secure with each success they experience in their Mary Kay businesses. The pandemic helped us expand our borders, reach out, engage and share Mary Kay with others across the country. That’s a good thing that came out of that.”

And she strives to be a great example to others. “I’m laser-focused when working toward a goal. I can’t expect others to work if I’m not. To me, the speed of leader is definitely the speed of gang. My advice is to not worry about what others are doing. Don’t look to the left or to the right. Just stay in your lane and focus on what you need to do to reach your goal. The rest will fall into place.”

WHAT’S NEXT Wandra’s next big goal? To earn the Top Sales Director Trip. “I’d love to take Mark on a dream getaway in appreciation for all he does working as a military nurse,” she says. She’s also eager to coach women with big goals of becoming Independent Sales Directors. “I’m so thankful I was afforded this opportunity and want to pass the torch to others. Being a Mary Kay Independent Sales Director is a calling, and I want to share this experience with others, crafting a memorable journey as we go.”

SHARE THE HEART OF MARY KAY TEAM-BUILDING CHALLENGE SHARE THE DREAM 8OUT OF THE GATE TIPS team-building TIPS WITH TIQKIA! TIQKIA BARROW, INDEPENDENT ELITE EXECUTIVE SENIOR SALES DIRECTOR, GREENACRES, FLA. GENERATE LEADS DAILY. Find people. You can’t develop your team if you don’t find people to try to team build with. I am very consistent and committed to not only myself but to teaching my unit members to get five leads a day in their everyday lives. Think about your friends, relatives, acquaintances, neighbors, social media followers and then also your social groups. Whether you were in a sorority, part of a church, a community or Facebook group, leads are the key. • Use the Mary Kay® Skin Analyzer App. I send people a link to this app when I’m out and about to connect with them. This gives me the opportunity to talk to people about being brand ambassadors or about becoming Independent Beauty Consultants. • It never hurts to ask. Once you get that lead and make that connection, I always say, ‘You must get off your ASK!’ I often say that if my husband never ASKED that we wouldn’t be married today. It’s the same thing with team-building. If you never ask, you’ll never be able to build that relationship or connection and possibly get to spend the rest of your life together. I encourage my unit members to share the Mary Kay opportunity from the very beginning. It’s how you achieve fullcircle success! Think of being on a Mary Kay rowboat. One oar represents selling, and the other oar represents team-building. When we row, we keep our business moving ahead. 8OUT OF THE GATE JAN. 1 – JUNE 30, 2023 Can you imagine yourself debuting as an Independent Sales Director at Seminar 2023?
