MailGirl  - 27 Aug 2005

YES, your mail carrier job, especially if you walk, is HARD. I have a friend who got off the delivery route and got on at a post office in a small town as the postmaster.

I am probably not a good one to ask about income as a director because there was none. I do know someone who is very successful as a director doing it the right way and will send you an invitation to my PinkBEEgone? group and/or you can apply following the instructions below.

I wasn't a director that long due to non-production and my lack of a desire to be a "recruiting machine" anymore. I got one $600 check because someone did a $3600 order the first month after I debuted. With a couple of really small orders, we did make production. In my circles they said you need "stars" each month to sustain production. I couldn't ask women to buy big inventories w/o a customer base or training at all - so I just gave it up. Quit. Much better for me.

Because I also had the car, and because the unit was not producing and because I would not coerse anyone into huge initial inventory orders w/in 24 hours of recruitment like our area taught (too much of this goes on everywhere), we didn't make production. You always need new blood as we are told. (aka: new credit/orders)

The best way to make it against the normal odds in this business (mlm) is slow and steady and learn to sell and teach to sell and only reorder to replace SOLD product. That way, your unit will be sustained and turnover a little lower than the new way to do MK which is "do it faster". Nationals are debuting within 3-4 yrs of signing on as a consultant and I surely know how it's done.

They want to say it's working hard - I call it mass recruiting and huge initial inventory orders, I guess that is working hard in MK terms. However, if you want deep satisfaction - then you learn how to do it the right way and to sell the product and be honest and real with women. I am hoping a new generation of MK'ers can rise up out of the deceit and greed that is currently practiced in so many areas in MK. A new generation where women will take the time to teach their consultants how to sell the product before they make them buy inventory.

Nowadays - many a director will tell you their time is valuable and that unless you order a minimum of $1800 or above (different directors have different price tags on their time) - they will not think you serious about your business. I think that stinks. FEW, I mean FEW directors teach their units to sell.

We have one such director on our PinkBEEgone? group and I invite you there (go to my website at www.thepinkingshears.org ) and click the PinkBEEgone? group to apply. This "light pink" group is targeted for women who want to do it right. I can send you an invite to it as well.

You can, however, learn to be a recruiting machine and get those initial inventory orders and do it fast - or you can do it slow and steady and actually "build a good reorder unit" and I believe when you do it w/integrity like that - women will be attracted to the business.

However, it is mlm and the stats for most to succeed are against you anyway - so proceed w/caution.

What I can offer you as far as an income potential scenario in MK is this. As a consultant, if you had $1,000 in sales EVERY WEEK of the year (that is nearly unheard of in MK) you could claim you made $52,000. Sound nice? Well, start deducting. This is assuming you sold all of this at 100% retail value (which doesn't happen).

$52,000 worth of product has cost you $26,000. So, there goes the income - split in half. Then deduct your supplies from the profits, your gas, your meeting dues, your Seminar, Career Conference and other event plane tickets or travel expense, your hotel expenses, your sales aids,etc. etc.

That's why MK used to say that the "average" consultant could realize a $5,000 yr income. I think that figure is very accurate.

So, there's a picture for selling only income thatI can paint you to consider.

And, the other income avenue is recruiting. Most do this to make their money. You MUST do this to get a title and get ahead in MK. You must to this to maintain a level or car. There is a brochure called "Advance" which tells you of the bonuses, etc., for production from recruits. You SHOULD be able to get it from any MK director.
