How to Start Ordering as a Mary Kay Consultant
Mary Kay Cosmetics is a direct-sales company that relies on its sales team to sell products to the public. The company sells the products to the consultant at wholesale price; the consultant then sells the product to the consumer. All of the sales team consultants, directors and national sales directors start their Mary Kay career in the same position---the independent beauty consultant.
Your first order with the company is your "inventory order." The company gives bonus products to women who order at Mary Kay's predetermined wholesale levels. It is not required that you order at these levels. The minimum wholesale first-time order is $200 plus tax and shipping.
