This is a copy of a comment I wrote on opinion #207 recently. I was scanning thru the posts and noticed this comment from Wendy Turnidge, a successful director, in response to a poster who was telling of a caller which she suspected was a consultant posing as a customer. You can read the entire post at #207. I wanted to forward this conversation because it speaks so loudly of the elitist attitude in Mary Kay by the directors. They are not only the Big Girls, now it seems that they are very judgemental and condescending to the general population by the remark made by Ms. Turnidge in that if a person has a lousy attitude, she would make a better customer".

I invite Wendy to explain what she meant by this condescending comment about a 'customer' whether or not it was a deceptive consultant trying to get this poor gal to buy inventory. I am on the poster's side, I agree she was being further manipulated. Too transparent.

<<<wendy says: "So you see, unless you know for sure that this gal who called you was a "posing consultant", it's very likely it was a customer. The fact that she was rude is probably a good clue as to why she hasn't been recruited into MK! She has a lousy attitude and makes a better customer.>>>>>>>>

Where do we begin? No one really knows if the person on the phone was a consultant or not, yet, I tend to agree w/the original poster in her assumption that it was a consultant posing as a customer by the turn of events. First, the director pushes and pushes for inventory, then out of the blue, the MK consultant gets a call from a 'prostpective customer' who uses the terms 'product', 'inventory' and 'impulse buyer'. Why would you tell someone you are an "IMPULSE BUYER"? Isn't that what they TEACH in MK? That women are IMPULSE BUYERS when they talk you into INVENTORY?

I didn't see any evidence of the caller being rude, as Wendy claims, only pushy and perhaps, very likely, a phony customer. If the director is pushy, why wouldn't some of her consultants be?

What sparked me to comment on Wendy's post, was the sentence highlighted at the beginning where she flagrantly judges the caller based on rudeness and then implies that certainly, no one RUDE would ever be recruited in MK - then the kicker - "SHE HAS A LOUSY ATTITUDE AND MAKES A BETTER CUSTOMER" . I hope none of Wendy's customers read this site. To me, that is saying a rude person could not possibly be recruited in MK, but that same rude person with a lousy attitude makes a better customer! Good Lord Wendy. How judgemental can you be?

There are TOO many directors AND consultants in this business who pressure women into doing things they do not really want to do, they do not let up and that is being RUDE. I think it's arrogant to imply that only saints get recruited into MK and the rest of the world can remain only customers or worse, working for Corporate America!!!!!!
