When thinking about my red jacket status with Mary Kay it makes me so excited. I have always wanted to move up in a company and I know I can with this company.

I was on fire when I first started I was calling and I assumed everyone would love Mary Kay products as much as me. I was doing appointment after appointment and party after party. They say that if you start hitting major obstacles you are doing something right. I received a call from a potential new customer and she wanted to place an order over the phone with me right then. I love to provide a full circle of customer service I decided that coming to meet her and her daughter would be a better way to introduce myself and the products. I arrived and the daughter was around 20 something she was there to greet me. She offered for me to take my high heels off and to get into some comfortable slippers. I thought the gesture was real sweet so I slipped out of my heels into some cozy slippers. Maybe it was a way to be nice but quickly I learned that she may of been testing the waters with me. I arrived on time the mother had requested I be there at 7:00 pm; only to have shown up about an hour after I got there. I proceeded with my normal routine of my presentation and was interrupted several times and when I would try to present once more she would ask questions such as what is the ingredients in this one, what is this and what is that. She also told me she sells cosmetics as well and wanted to know why I liked Mary Kay. I felt my face flushing with red as I was not able to answer every question she had. She then wanted me to buy candles from her own business and said she had to think about whether she wanted to even purchase anything at all. I felt a little discouraged but i was pretty happy with the demo of the products and I knew in my heart she would want to place an order. I called to follow up with her she said she was still thinking about it but wanted some magazines for her co-workers. I quickly gathered magazines and delivered them to her home; she asked me to leave them near her mailbox. I followed up again and this time he tells me "there is a lady at my job who sells Mary Kay no one wants to buy anything. I am so frustrated because she insisted I bring the magazines ASAP so that she could get some orders at work. I was still hanging onto the hope of her ordering and she still said she was not sure if she would purchase anything she then proceeds to ask me if I would like to buy any candles from her. I told her I was not sure if I would need any candles. This went on for another week and I decided to try one last time with her and to not worry about it again. I called and it was the same response and the customer was extremely condescending. I finally let go and moved on with much disappointment. I kept thinking well did I handle myself wrong what did I do why did she not like the product. Mary Kay is such a wonderful product I know it had to be me. I had 3 other parties scheduled this next week and decided that I would move on to bigger pastures. Low and behold I got a double facial called to cancel on me and then my one party said they could not have the party for me. I was actually heading to my final party and she said I am so sorry they called me into work. I just collapsed at that point I had such self doubt wondering why i was having cancellations after cancellations and no orders. I wanted to say this was not for me but I think of this business is like my little baby and I know it wants to grow. I have never given up on being a single mother before I have 7 children that I am responsible for and not once have I walked away from them. This is my dream I want the Pink Cadillac and I want the beautiful home to go with it. I know that baby steps are the only way I can achieve the greater good. I decided to start tracking my success from this day forward and this is my blog about beauty, love, family and most of all my dreams.
