A Little About Me Hello and welcome to one of the most exciting business opportunities in America today. We are thrilled to have you as an independent beauty consultant in Mary Kay Cosmetics and a member of my unit. I started my Mary Kay business as a 27-year-old, brand new mommy. My original thought as I joined the company was to sell enough product to have my personal product paid for, as Steven and I were definitely on a newlywed budget with only two years in marriage. After all, I loved the product, especially because I struggled with acne for years and Mary Kay cleared my skin up in just two weeks! Little did I know at that time, that the simple decision to join Mary Kay Cosmetics by purchasing a $100 starter kit would change the direction of my life completely. We all start this business the same way... with a starter kit and new consultant training. However, I quickly realized that the good Lord had different plans for my journey with Mary Kay. It was not until I saw that my heart did not look like the hearts of the women who were training me, that I came to terms with the fact that I needed some personal changes. I discovered that I was not treating women the way the Lord intended, because of insecurities I had developed on my road with acne. When He finally showed me this was not ok, I begin to desire more of the Mary Kay culture. I loved the flexibility and opportunity of our try before you buy philosophy. I loved that my trainers taught me a way to work that didn t feel pushy, especially when I offered people the product, but rather, I was taught that I was offering them an opportunity to learn about and experience the #1 selling brand of skin care and color cosmetics in the land, before they had to purchase anything! More than anything, I love that the Lord used Mary Kay and my training process to slowly change my heart and ultimately change my life starting from the outside in. And as they say... the rest is history. A year and a half after I began my career, I debuted as a Sales Director while pregnant with my second son. In fact, our unit finished up car April 30th, and my son was born May 1st. I was having a blast! Was everything perfect? Absolutely not! Did I always feel comfortable with the process? No, I did not. However, I was surrounded by the most incredible support team anyone could ask for: my sister Sales Director and the consultants in my unit. My goal is that you will have the same experience. My husband, Steven, who is my biggest supporter, is now MR. Mary Kay. He loves this company and products, he loves the opportunity it has given to me as a work-from-home mommy, and of course he loves that Mary Kay has changed my self-esteem, which has directly changed our marriage for the better. We were married July 30, 2011, and together we have had two GORGEOUS boys. Our first born, Noah (born in July of 2012), is an energized, tender-hearted, blue-eyed angel. Our second, Ben (born in May of 2015), is our chunky-monkey, precious, baby boy. His personality is starting to show with his chill attitude and the same gorgeous eyelashes of his brother, except with brown eyes. Noah adores Ben, which makes momma very happy. I am madly in love with all my boys and I love being the only princess, but I will gladly share the throne with a girl if we are ever so blessed. We are huge college football fans and enjoy all sports. Steven s only downfall is that he is a Miami Hurricanes fan, while I am an Auburn Tiger girl (WAR EAGLE!). My mom and my two sisters are my very best friends in the entire world. I have two nieces who are my mini-me s. Mary Kay has not just been a way to make a living for us, but a way to make a life. I plan to make Mary Kay my lifetime career and ultimately become a National Sales Director. This packet will be a great support tool in helping you have a fantastic start in building your Mary Kay business. I am so looking forward to working with you. Read through this information, start your checklists, and text me with any questions! Happy training! Meredith s Mission: To change the lives of thousands of women by sharing this amazing opportunity & then help train those women to reach their full potential in this business and in life. 3

NEW CONSULTANT CHECKLIST #1-B HOW MUCH INVENTORY DO I NEED AND WHERE WILL I GET FINANCING? 1. Top National Sales Director Linda Toupin s 32 years in the Mary Kay business has taught her a lot about this important step. Listen to her advice by: Calling (641) 715-3900 extension 994882# Visiting http://goo.gl/gueddt Using the QR Code to the right If you will be making this financial decision with another person, make sure they listen as well. To check your credit score, go to https://www.creditkarma.com. 2. Watch the inventory video I attached in your welcome email. 3. Open a separate MK checking account for your business.

Text or email me when you ve completed the steps above and have placed your Qualified $600 Order to earn your Mary Kay Money Bag! 6

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HOW DO I STAY MOTIVATED? Attend your weekly meeting. Miss 1 meeting, your business is sick; 2, it is dying; 3, it is dead. Plug into InTouch each day. Check the calendar each day for our unit scoreboard and updates from the company. Check for emails, voxers, FB posts from me each day. Watch the DVD that came with your starter kit. Visit www.janthetford.com to look around at videos, helpful information, flyers, etc. Ask me for more when you are ready! Remember you become like the five people with whom you spend the most time. I would be honored to be one of the five. Follow me on Social Media. Text me and keep me informed of what you are doing. HOW DO I STAY FOCUSED AND MANAGE MY TIME? Start shifting your thoughts regarding time. There are 168 hours in a week. This is the equivalent of 4 traditional work weeks. If you want $300 profit per week, you will need 6 8 hours of Mary Kay time each week. To earn a MK car and move into leadership, you will need 15 hours each week. In checklist #1 you were asked to purchase a 3-5 section spiral notebook. If you prefer a 3 ring binder with sections you are welcome to use that. You may also use an ipad, provided you keep it with you at all times. You will need to divide them into these sections: Section #1: Master Weekly To Do List (from this we will pull 6 items per day). See Sample List on next page. Section #2: Prospective customers, hostesses and team members Section #3: Notes from all your meetings and trainings HOW DO I DEVELOP A CLIENTELE? You will build your client base the same way as beauticians, nail techs, doctors and other professionals do. They begin with family and friends, develop a good reputation, and word spreads. Use Section 2 of your spiral notebook to create your potential customer, hostess & team member list. To help you gain perspective on how many people you have in your WIDE circle of influence, think in terms of creating an invitation list to a large church wedding. The average large church wedding in America sends out 150 family invitations, which encompasses 300-450 people inside those households. Don t limit yourself geographically (we do not have territories), nor by how often you interact with that person. Start with your inner circle of friends and expand from there. If someone is in your phone or a social media friend, they should be on your list. EVERY PERSON ALIVE USES WHAT YOU SELL. Do not pre-judge what they would be interested. In my experience my best customers were not ones that I thought would be Interested. Add to this list each day as you meet or think of new people. 7

6 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO LIST IS PULLED FROM YOUR MASTER LIST EACH DAY (3 HIGH / 3 MEDIUM) HIGH people Call or text or private FB message (list 30 of the 150 names on your list) Use a script for your POWER START (30 Faces in 30 days). Sample script: Hey Meredith! I am so excited to announce I have started my very own Mary Kay business! I have been given a challenge by my director to put Mary Kay on my first 30 faces! I was wondering if you can spare an hour and let me borrow your face? More samples are located at www.janthetford.com. Invite 5 of your most supportive friends to attend your weekly meeting with you. Call and research banks to compare rates for inventory. MEDIUM paper or process that supports the people Checklist #2 Preparing your Home Office. Checklist #3 After Your Inventory Arrives. Decide Business Debut date (dependent on inventory). Find and print off invitations from InTouch. Mail out or hand deliver 75 for 15 attendees. LOW delegate Once you decide each system, it can be delegated. This will come later. 6 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO LIST IS PULLED FROM YOUR MASTER LIST EACH DAY (3 HIGH / 3 MEDIUM) HIGH people Follow up with hostesses for this week (list names). Preprofile! If you are unsure what pre-profiling is send me a text! Invite (list names) for weekly meeting or event. Follow up or initiate booking with (list names) from referrals. Follow up or schedule interviews with (list names from recruiting layering sheet) located at www.janthetford.com. If a booking or interview attempt fails, see what products she needs. Call regarding booth for festival or to be guest speaker at school or sorority, civic group etc. MEDIUM paper or process that supports the people Place product order. Redesign my table setting for upcoming holiday. Decide on upcoming holiday specials and how they will be communicated. LOW delegate Add profiles of new customers to InTouch.

Power Start Pin: Earn your Power Start Pin when you complete 30 faces in 30 days and place your qualified order of $600+ wholesale.

Surprise Gift: Sell 25 Items in 7 days creating sales of $300 plus & earn a surprise gift! Special Gift: Email your director the names of the 5 people who watched the Leah Lauchlin youtube video, the date listened and their comments and receive a special gift. PREPARING YOUR HOME OFFICE Create a separate workspace for your business. This could be a separate room, or a corner of a room in your home. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. A neat and organized workspace contributes greatly to a happy and healthy business owner. Here are some suggestions: Desk Computer with printer High Speed Internet if available in your area, otherwise use the fastest bandwidth. Shelving for inventory: book shelves, hutch, small linen closet with lots of shelves, etc. Instead of file folders for papers and brochures, try a paper organizer on or near your desk. Accordion Folder with the months Jan-Dec on tabs for receipts. Can be purchased at *Office Depot or Office Max. Cell or home phone with large minute or unlimited plans. Also, back-up service in case you lose or damage your cell phone. Check exclusive savings on www.marykayintouch.com for discount programs with cell phone providers and local retail stores. Optional: Some consultants create a BRAIN BOOK that holds papers that they want to keep with them at all times. This would be a 3-ring binder with sheet protectors and pocket holders. This would also hold your spiral notebook. Optional: Start a Delegation Binder outlining systems that could be given to an assistant. 9

AFTER YOUR INVENTORY ARRIVES Label your inventory with your product labels, especially skin care and skin supplements. (Order the labels with the business kit from MK Connections.) I do NOT recommend putting labels on products that would be defaced by a label such as lipstick tubes, most color cosmetics and fragrances. Use your name and address stamp to stamp all Look Books, Beauty Books and team building materials. If you have extra funds, consider the following inventory cases from MK Connections: SHOW AND GO TOTE ROLLING TOTE INSULATED COLOR CARRIER SYSTEM A fishing tackle box (from Bass Pro, Wal-Mart or other fishing supply store) is perfect for eye shadows, blushes etc. Also good for samples. Take your product items with you to the store to check fitting. Organize and store inventory both on office shelving and in carriers that you are taking to your appointments. Product can safely be carried in car trunk except in times of extreme heat or cold. Discuss with your recruiter or director how much of each item to take to your appointments. 10

BEFORE YOUR BUSINESS DEBUT CHECKLIST TO ENSURE YOU HAVE A SUCCESSFUL DEBUT OF YOUR BRAND NEW MARY KAY BUSINESS Purpose of the Business Debut: 1. To debut your Mary Kay store of products. 2. To show your family and friends you starting a BUSINESS and will have the product to service them. 3. To debut yourself as a Professional Mary Kay consultant. 4. To book your first 60-90 faces. Schedule your business debut within your first 2 3 weeks of business. However, if this is not possible, then scheduling a business debut later is better than not scheduling one at all. You will want to plan to have your inventory in stock before your business debut. Hold your business debut in your home, preferably, because it is a warmer, friendlier, environment.church fellowship halls, civic halls, apartment club houses or a friend s home are alternate choices. Delegate the task of cleaning your home so your time may be spent on the telephone with your prospective guests and customers. Invite all the people on your Contact List. This should be a minimum of 75 people. (You can expect 15-20 to attend with proper follow-up.) Send out a minimum of 75 Business Debut Invitations. Sending postcards and a Facebook event alone will not be effective. However, the best way to ensure a good turn-out is layering the guests with invitations so do it all. Think about a text invitation, which can be created on a free app called pic collage. After you have mailed your invitations, plan to call each guest personally and invite them 24 48 hours before your event. (Use Master Invitation from InTouch/New Consultant Tools, print on card stock or send to printer Look for discounts at Office Depot or FedEx Office on Exclusive Savings) Call each guest on your Contact List in Section 2 of your spiral. Keep in mind that your friends and family are not coming to hear your director or recruiter, they are coming to help you. Your attendance will be in direct proportion to the number of guests that you personally speak with 24 hours prior to the event. Remember, if they cannot come to your business debut, you ll want to either schedule an appointment with them and/or invite them to the next unit event. CHECKLIST FOR THE DAY OF THE EVENT: Provide abundant refreshments. You ll want to delegate the hosting/serving to someone special in your family or a close friend so you may be focused on helping your guests to schedule appointments and learn more about your Mary Kay business. Keep in mind some people will come just for food so be generous. Mark your datebook with everything that you have going on in your life. Then highlight the times and dates that you have dedicated to your Mary Kay business. Indicate in your datebook your 4 POWER START WEEKS. (30 faces in 30 days) Have the following supplies available: Pens and profile cards on hand for each guest to complete as they arrive. A money bag with $20 in change. (1 $5, 10 $1 and $5 in coins) Look Books stamped with contact information. Sales tickets and a calculator Your recruiter/director will arrive 1/2 hour before the program. She will bring door prizes and help you set up the product display. She ll need a big table. You ll want to arrange the seating in a semi-circle in front of the table. 11

Relax and have fun with your guests. Your focus should be to schedule your 10-20 parties for your power start. Let your recruiter/ director fill orders and talk to people about the business opportunity. Have enough Hostess packets prepared to give one to each guest at your debut. HOSTESS PACKET SHOULD INCLUDE: Hostess Brochure* Recruiting Brochure Mary Kay Look Book* Decorate a pretty poster board* with 30 lines to book your Power Start at your debut. *Your director/recruiter will provide these items. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT DURING THE PROGRAM: Each guest will receive a Satin Hands Treatment when she arrives. Be sure to become familiar with the steps for this wonderful pampering system! SATIN HANDS STEP 1. Squeeze an ample amount of Mary Kay Fragrance-Free Hand Softener into palm of hand. Massage cream into hands, between fingers, remembering the tops and palms of hands, too. STEP 2. Squeeze an ample amount of Mary Kay Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub into palm of hand over night cream. Massage into hands, same as night cream. STEP 3. Rinse hands thoroughly under warm running water and dry hands completely. STEP 4. Squeeze an ample amount of Mary Kay Hand Cream into palm of hand. Massage hand cream into hands, same as above. All the guests will introduce themselves, tell how long they have known you and their relationship to you, a bit about their family, work, hobbies and what their experience with Mary Kay has been, if any. Your Director or Recruiter will explain the purpose of the event: You will be affirmed in your business by your guests. Your goals will be shared and your guests will know that you will be asking them to help you by having a complimentary facial or class. The recruiter/director will share her I story and her relationship with you. Mary Kay Inc. will be introduced as a top beauty brand of Facial Skin Care and Color Cosmetics in the Nation! No one will actually receive a makeover that day because that is what you ll be offering at their party. This is a show and tell type event. At the close, guests will have an opportunity to earn chances for door prizes by making a purchase, scheduling a facial (and or party) and possibly watching a video. 12

AFTER YOUR BUSINESS DEBUT You will want to start with the guests who agreed to have a party for you. You will need to coach them on the steps to ensure a good party. If attitude determines 97% of a person s success, then follow-up is the remaining 3%. NSD Linda Toupin A party worth booking is worth coaching. Mary Kay Ash Ideally it is BEST to privately facial an upcoming hostess a few days or a week prior to her party, especially if she has never had a facial or isn t currently using MK products. Invite her to your weekly success meeting. This helps you know what product she wants to earn and what gift she will choose for her PERFECT HOSTESS GIFT. ($250 Sales/2 Bookings and 2 Guests watch a YouTube video.) PRELIMINARY COACHING: Some coaching will be given verbally during the debut, however, you will want to follow-up with each guest 24-48 hours after your debut to: (Refer to your hostess in all conversations as YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER ) Review the guest list she gave you during the debut. Encourage her to invite 10 per party. If she gives you 30 names, that is 3 separate parties. When she invites 10, an average of 6 will attend. Give her enough Party Postcards to send to all the invited guests. Also text an invitation to her. You will also want to create a FB event for her and invite her so she can ask her friends. Remember: The best way to ensure a good turnout is layering the guests with invitations. Explain the hostess program to her again. Figure the amount she will want to sell in order to earn her wish list products for free. (Take the dollar amount and multiply by 5. That equals 20%) Give her the words to say when she invites her guests. Use a script found on www.janthetford.com. Give her 5 order forms and ask her to take orders from 5 people who cannot attend her party. Coach her on refreshments. Keep it simple, or if she loves to entertain, let her be extravagant. However, save the food and drinks until the END of the party. Send her a thank you note in advance appreciating her for helping you in your business. Talk with her as if she is already one of YOUR TOP HOSTESSES preparing her to be honored in your unit s quarterly hostess program. It is called a preferred hostess program.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST PARTY OR FACIAL Travel with your recruiter and/or director to view one of her parties. Review the Instructors Guide and practice your Skin Care presentation by rehearsing in front of a mirror. (You might review your Start Something Beautiful DVD again.) Pre-profile each guest to be prepared for the possible skin care lines you may be using at the party. If using more than just the Timewise skin care line at your party, brush up on the other ones you will be using. Listen to Linda Toupin s CD, Relationship + Facial Turned Into MK Party = Long Term Success, available for download at www.lindatoupin.com. Keep in mind that you will, over the next few weeks, rework the words in your instructors guide, personalizing it and making it your own. You want your presentation to be professional, however at the same time fun and a reflection of your personality. If you fly by the seat of your pants and do not follow the presentation, you may still have a successful class, however, you just convinced the girl at the table who does not have your personality that she cannot do this. By using a presentation (even one you have rewritten), your skill then becomes transferrable to your future recruits. Practice setting up your table display and trays. You never get a 2nd chance to make a first impression. When a guest walks in to your party she should go WOW! when she sees how professional and pretty your table looks. It should be simple and easy but look like a million bucks! Centerpiece should be product! Here is a sample of my centerpiece. You are welcome to customize and change it up. Make it yours! Optional: Want to win a guest over? Allow her to lay her head back in her seat, drape a slightly hot wash cloth over her face just before she removes the cleanser. Trust me, she will love you and your products. Dark colored wash cloths are preferred over facial cloths if you are wanting to do this. Acrylic Caddy or mesh bag with products you are sampling and any color you might use for demo. Be sure to bring hostess packets for other guests who will be booking a party. The cello bags I use come from www.mygirlfriendshouse.com Each guest s spot should include: Mirror, Tray, Profile Card, Closing Sheet, Fabulous 50 Game, Mascara Wand or mini, Cotton Round/Ball, Eye Applicator, Sales Ticket, Pen, Dry Erase Marker, & Hair Band Thank-you gift for hostess in beautiful MK paper gift bag with tissue ($1.00-$2.50 item) or cello bag party favor (20 for $1.00 at Walmart) You will need a small gift for the winner of the FAB 50 game. You can use an eye color, past gift with purchase option, old limited edition product, or even just $10 off their purchase (which is only $5 to you) Practice packing your cases to go to your appointment. Remember if you make your job look hard NO ONE will want to do it. Make it as easy for yourself as it looks to everyone else. 14

Mary Kay Ash never created a make-up company. Instead, she developed the perfect company for women based on a certain set of values & principles. The cosmetics came later. The Mary Kay culture attracts women who share the same values: Faith and family come before career. Women should be praised to success. We do not need territories, because we will not take someone else s customer. We will honor the Golden Rule & treat others the way we want to be treated. It has been my experience that Mary Kay is a tool, a vehicle to discover and use one s God-given talents. In doing so, you discover your passion. Once you find your passion, it will lead to your life s purpose. That is my prayer for you. The Mary Kay experience may be something as simple as gaining self-confidence in life skills (public speaking, organization, delegation, prioritization, money, time & attitude management) or something as profound as deepening your self-esteem (your feeling of self-worth, not connected to skill). Either way, I can promise you that by surrounding yourself with MK women, events, communication and philosophies your life will be GREATLY enriched. While I am interested in your financial success (the dollars you sell and the people you add to your team), I am equally interested in the person you are becoming on this journey through life. I am honored to be your mentor and leader.
