I got involved with Mary Kay about 6 years ago. Yes, many of the women who sell MK are extremely pushy and want you to buy thousands of dollars worth of product when you first start. I guess I should consider myself lucky. I only joined so that my friend's mother could become a director. I have never purchased more than $400 worth of product. It seems every where you go in Charles/St. Mary's County, women sell this stuff all over the place. I basically sell to family and friends at work and such. When I am able to get an order of $200 or more, I can get another $200 for free. I do not go to the meetings or their seminars, and just do it for fun and for free stuff. Again, get a $200 or more order, and get that much free.
I cannot stand many of hte directors and ladies who sell this, there are two inparticular in Charles County who are probalby the biggest of them all, and they are the pushiest women I have ever met. The one got mad at me because I did not want to obtain a credit card to make some big purchase. It was awful. But again, the free stuff is a nice perk!
