Please give help comparing cosmetic companies from the angle of becoming a consultant.?
http://www.thepinkingshears.com/story-pi... is a link to a first-person account of someone's brush with Mary Kay. It pretty accurately reflects my own experience when my cousin tried to suck me in. I can tell you that Mary Kay consulting is minorly about selling cosmetics and is mostly about recruiting other consultants, because the money in the organization is made by selling product and materials to its own people. How many people do you know who use a pyramid-scheme product? How many buy from a regular store? And yet every one of the millions of consultants swear they're making money and are adamant that there is even more to be made. Who are they selling to? Avon has quotas and graduated commissions according to the dollar value of what you sell. The start-up costs are lower but I've heard about penalties for falling below a certain threshold. Honestly, I wouldn't consider joining any MLM organization if I were you. 99% of all people who get involved in them lose money after all the start-ups and investments and materials, and they eventually pack it in and call it a day. Why make yourself crazy with all those pressure meetings and lying to candidates about how much money they'll make? These are pyramid schemes made legal only by making it possible for uninvolved people to purchase from the company. Everything else about them is a fraud.
Are Merle Norman employees obligated to wear the cosmetics?
I am a former MN beauty advisor, and yes, they do want you to wear their makeup. Not only does it make you loyal to the line (atleast at work), but you learn your products better when you use them. It can only help your sales. Every line wants the employees to do this. MN has lots of great makeup. I'm sure you will get an employee discount (or even freebies) to grow your MN stash with. You can get away with another foundation and mascara in the beginning, but start to use MN when at work as much as you can. Before your interview, do your homework. Know as much as you can about a few of the products to show your interest, and wear some MN makeup. Emphasize your willingness to learn, communication skills, and creative nature. Dress nicely, keep makeup pretty and clean. Have fun and good luck.
What companies will allow you to sell their makeup under your own name?
I'm an affiliate for a mineral makeup company. They have very high quality and affordable mineral makeup. They have different levels to which you can sign in at. I'm at the affiliate level. They also have a direct sales rep level. And in regards to what you're looking for, they have a direct label program. Where you sell their makeup with your name and logo!!!! They have been a very wonderful company to be an affiliate for so I have NO doubt they would be awesome to work with at the level you're looking for. They have 100% all natural mineral cosmetics, spa, bath & body products. No filers! If you are interested email me at JohnsonMakeup@gmail.com and I can get you more information!
What strategy, other than cold calling, leads to generating B2B clients in the cosmetics field?
Hi BK.It’s worth keeping in mind the difference between qualified leads, opportunities and clients.Like any other, cosmetics B2B sales cycles can be very long, timing is a lottery, preferred supplier lists abound, and B2B business development is always unpredictable and difficult.I would offer you the following advice:Start business development at the client base. Profile the companies and types of people for whom your product or service has been most relevant, and then list out your new target list and find them on LinkedIn.Ask happy existing customers for referrals and leads inside and outside their company.Conduct a satisfaction survey in your client base. I once found £4.6m of opportunity doing this, and the account teams had no idea. In almost every interview I heard the phrase “Oh! I didn't know you did that too.”Realise that Awareness (or the lack of it) is the first and most important challenge. I have my own framework for this called A.P.E.L.A. To find out more go to: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/m...Use HubSpot’s free CRM if you don't have one already.If you don't have the budget for full HubSpot service or similar, and/or the time required to learn it and create great content. Then it will be a human, time-based strategy of direct and repeated outreach.Good luck.Markhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark...
