Celebrating 50
years: Mary Kay
Ash taught us how–
go live your dream!
One Woman Can!
Dear Laserbeams,
I’m so excited about this month. We have new products coming
out, It’s time to register for Career Conference, it’s a month to
share Love, and it’s the Olympics!
Our new products are already making news! Mary Kay’s CC
cream is all the buzz. From personal experience I LOVE it! It’s all
I’ve used since the company sent it to me a couple of weeks ago.
Yes, one of the perks of being a Director- you get the new
products early! I’ve also been using it at my appointments. About
95% of those who have tried it have purchased it. It is going to be
a best seller for sure! The new eyeliner gel, pedicure set, Hello
Sunshine Limited Edition, and new @Play products are equally
fabulous! Everyone can order them Feb. 15th!
We're lucky enough to have a company that holds conferences all
around the nation to make it easy for us to attend. I hope you'll
join us! This is such an exciting time to be a part of such an
amazing company. I love that this company encourages us to
share ideas, dare to dream big, and to encourage each other
along the way. It's easy to understand why our conferences are
so amazing and an energizing part of my career each year. We
are lucky enough to have it in Boise this year! Schedule it now so
you can attend. March 28 & 29.
We all know February is centered around sharing love. It’s also a
great time to focus on “Love your skin” appointments. One of the
ways to share love is to treat someone to a skin care and
makeover appointment. It’s truly a feel good activity. You feel
good because your helping a women feel better about herself and
she feels good knowing she is beautiful. Why not do some
Valentine Looks! They could be RED HOT or soft romantic.
I’m always inspired by Olympic athletes. They are great
examples of dedication, perseverance, hard work, tenacity,
visualization and more. What lessons can we learn from them?
They have a strong why, they focus on the win, they visualize a
gold medal performance, they are willing to work even when they
don’t see results. They don’t quit, just to name a few. This
business is similar in many ways. I feel the rewards are more
immediate and longterm. We have a win each time we do a
makeover, share the opportunity and service a customer. Doing it
over and over builds a strong business that will reward you for a
lifetime. As Mary Kay said, “no one fails in Mary Kay if they don’t
quit.” Keep your dream alive and your why in front of you and
you’ll bring home gold!
Share the Love this Month and you’ll be saying, “I Love my Mary
Kay!”
Love and Belief, Carolyn

The Psychology of Booking
By Karen Phelps
Booking parties becomes so easy
once you understand both the "how" and
the "why." I've never seen anyone who,
once they learned the "Psychology of
Booking," couldn't keep their calendar
full. Is there a "Psychology of Booking"?
You bet! Some consultants understand it
right away, but some never learn it! I've
seen consultants quit after a few years
because they were tired of their constant
battle to get bookings. They obviously
never got it.
I've observed people begin a direct
selling business by asking others to
have parties to help them get started
and never explain to the host "what's in it
for them." I've listened to consultants
saying they feel as if they are begging
people when asking someone to host a
party. Truth is, I wouldn’’t have lasted for
over twenty-two years if I had to spend
my time begging. What is the secret that
helps consultants transfer from
"mediocre" to "great" at hosting parties?
Here it comes: It’’s not about you.
Often consultants start from an
assumption which results in an incorrect
way of asking for bookings. Have you
ever assumed that when someone
hosted a party for you, they were helping
you out and doing you a favor? I know I
have. Especially when there was a
contest or trip I was close to earning. I
let everyone know and asked them to
help me out.
The problem with this was: I
was more focused on myself than on the
person who was hosting. That's not what
hosting parties is all about! This attitude
of doing me a favor unconsciously
begins at the start of your direct selling
career. Leaders unintentionally plant the
seed that you need to call in your favors
and ask people to help you get started-which to some extent is true. Often we
overlook an obvious fact: hosting a party
can actually benefit the hostess.
What if you could help your
hostess earn free and discounted
products while she is having you and a
few friends over for a fun-filled evening?
My business exploded when I finally
understood that booking parties was a
win-win situation. Yes, I was a winner
because I was going to earn money, and
the sales would help me win contests
and trips; but my hostesses were
winners too! It wasn’’t until I realized this
that my business began to explode.
I just changed my thinking-instead of saying to myself, "I hope she'll
have a party to help me win this trip," I
would think, "Wow, she loves everything.
I need to show her how much she can
save by hosting a party." When I took
me out of the equation and made
booking parties about doing them a
favor, it became an easier process.
I often hear consultants ask for
bookings and end with the words "for
me." You will notice that option 2 doesn't
mention "me" at all. I completely focus
on Susie and the favor I want to do for
her. When you get excited about helping
your hostesses, you will book more
parties than you ever dreamed possible.
So, the "Psychology of Booking
Parties" means you truly believe that you
are providing a service to your
hostesses and a way for them to earn
products at special prices. If you don't
believe this, your true colors will show
through. If you are struggling with it, the
therapy I recommend is to call someone
from another party plan and host a party
yourself. Learn first-hand the benefits of
being a hostess; once you become a
believer, you will really be able to Party
On!
Now, I want you to say the following questions out loud
and listen to which one sounds best to you:
1. "Susie, my company is in the middle of a contest and I can earn a trip to
Hawaii. Would you please host a party to help me out?"
2. "Susie, I'm so excited that you loved almost everything I showed you. I
would really like to help you get as many items as you can for as little cost
as possible. The best way to do this is to purchase some of your favorite
items tonight and then book a party as soon as possible so you can earn
the rest, including a bonus gift. I have a few nights available: Tuesday or
Thursday next week. Which night works best for you to earn your free and
discounted products by inviting me and a few friends over?"
3. "Susie, you saw a lot of things that you like. Would you like to have a party
for me?"

Tom Hopkins
If you're one of the millions of people who never seem to get what they
really want in life, the reason may be a few simple attitudes you have
acquired that I call demotivators. In my experience training thousands of
professional salespeople, I've found four demotivators common to all of us,
which we must overcome to attain our goals.
x
The first demotivator is the fear of losing our security. We are so afraid of losing the
security we have, that we won't give it up to get the greater security we seek. I truly believe that
there is no such thing as security other than the security we build within ourselves. We are only
secure to the extent of our ability to cope with the struggle called living, and we cannot be more
secure than our capabilities of handling insecurity allow us to be. This means we have to give up
what we have, to get what we want. If we refuse to give up anything, where will the space, time,
money, and energy for new achievements come from?
x
The second demotivator is fear of failure. How many times have you refused to try something
because you were afraid you'd fail? Isn't it sad how many of us doom ourselves to mediocre
lives rather than accept the momentary rejections that success demands? We must challenge
our fears, and conquer each fear forever. Soon you will find that every time you conquer a fear,
the easier it will be to beat the next one. Remember: Do what you fear most and you will control
that fear.
x
The third demotivator is self-doubt. When we're gripped by negative conviction, we believe
everything we do will be wrong. When we're thinking like this, it is likely that everything we do
fails, and ultimately, we fail. Instead of looking at what you did wrong, look at what you did right.
Keep an up attitude, overcome rejection and keep trying. Soon, you'll start to win. The wins will
start to pile up until they smother all self-doubts under a mountain of positive conviction.
x
The fourth demotivator is the pain of change. We resist change because it means that part of
our old self must die, and a self that is unknown to us is born. We mourn the loss of the familiar
as we labor through the birth of the new. To overcome this attitude, we should make a habit of
trying new things when we don't have to, so we can keep the best of the old in our lives as a
strong emotional foundation. Remember, there is an element of pain in all change, but those you
put into motion yourself are far less painful than ones thrown at you by others.

Words of Wisdom
From Mary Kay Ash
In the 1980's, it was common to hear a
woman proclaim, "I want to have it all." By
this, she meant she wanted a successful
career while being a wonderful wife and
mother. Wanting it all is an admirable goal,
but some women run into trouble when
they try to translate that dream into reality.
It's no easy matter for both a husband and
wife to work full-time and manage a family.
Compromises are unavoidable.
Place Your Orders Today! Don't forget:
Mary Kay will raise the minimum active status
order amount from $200 to $225 in Section 1
orders effective March 1, so stock up on your
favorites this month at a great rate!
Spring is almost here along with new trends
and fashions for the season! Pretty pastels
rock the spring runway, so give your
customers a fashion preview. Then reveal
the newest Mary Kay makeup trends that
complement the looks. The MK
Trend Report & Look are your go-to

It's where you'll find everything you need to spring
into action and help re-energize your Mary Kay
