3 out of 5 starsNot too bad!

It's Not Where You Start, It's Where You Finish!: The Success Secrets of a Top Member of the Mary Kay Independent Sales Force

This was a nice read an actual honest National Sales Director in Mary Kay, which is so refreshing and rarely common! Believe me you don't get a lot of that in this business of Mary Kay Cosmetics.

As a former consultant I was delighted to read an inspriing story about a lovely, hard working woman who never comprimised her values to make a buck.

What an inspiration!! Mrs. Hennessy-Ortega actually remembers that she is "enriching woman's lives", believes in the Golden Rule and philosophy of, "Faith first, Family second, Career third" It's a pity that so many Sales Directors, and NSD have forgotten this.

If all Sales Directors and NSD read this book and followed what Mrs. Hennessy-Ortega is telling them, there would
A) More sucessful units with fabulous Directors who tell the truth and know how to train and run a unit properly, concentrating on sales, not ordering.
B) More National Sales Directors who actually motivate their area and tell the truth and lastly...

They wouldn't have 95% of the Independent Beauty Consulstants quit within the first year due to lack of support, cattiness and the outright lies they are told when they originally sign up. And of course have to take advantage of the 90% buy back from the company.

Gillian should be the voice,spokesperson and face for a company that needs a woman running it!

Bravo Gillian



4 out of 5 starsSales advice with religious counsel
Let the pink Cadillac ladies jumpstart your sales career. When Mary Kay cosmetics salespeople succeed, they drive off with a big pink car. Mary Kay executive Gillian Hennessy-Ortega, one of those drivers, offers tips about goal setting, customer development and personal growth in an excellent career manual with an insightful mix of advice and examples. The book excels when delivering inspiration about setting goals. Hennessy-Ortega provides a spirited discussion about finding the right balance among home, work and spiritual growth. The author does make a heavy push for Christianity, so if you'd rather get sales advice without religious counsel, this may not be for you. But if old-time inspiration is part of your motivational package, we believe this book can serve as a productive tool for personal and career growth.



4 out of 5 starsPink is where it's at
I'm a former Mary Kay consultant, and have only the highest regard for the company. This book is a motivational tribute to the women in pink who have decided to create their own success. Funny thing is -- the success dream is not the same for every person. There are those that want to make it all the way to the top and others who love the flexibility of being able to do what they want when they want. Gillian Hennessy-Ortega did a great job of delivering specific ideas to those already in Mary Kay to help them market Mary Kay and themselves. Furthermore, she's helped those people thinking about becoming a Mary Kay consulant to visualize the possibilities. Nice read.



5 out of 5 starsInspiring
It was wonderful to hear Gillian's story. I believe that many people can be inspired to dream and become whatever they desire with determination and drive. It was an easy read; once you start the book you won't want to put it down!
