I'm a sales rep
I've been doing it off and on since mark. came out in 2003...it has its highs and lows ya know? The discounts are very very nice (especially when the demo stuff comes out, you still get your discount when the stuff is already cheap to begin with!) But it can be very frustrating when people seem to not even care
I've had a few "mark. parties" in which people basically came and ate all the food, took some sample baggies, 1/2 assedly (is that a word?) attempted to look through a magalog, and LEFT!!! I kept all my receipts though (from all the party stuff I bought) b/c it's tax deductable
Anyway MY personal experience as a rep. isn't the best...girls around here don't seem to care about makeup like I do
Oh well screw 'em! I get a fat ass discount and if I don't like stuff I just swap them
I honestly think the experience varies person to person...some girls on the mark. forums have $300 orders every magalog, and then there's girls like me who pretty much sell mark. for the discount
I'm getting ready to be a dance camp counselor (this is my 2nd year doing it) next week and those girls are OBSESSED with makeup! Hopefully I can get a few sales from it
Sorry for all the blabbering, but I hope this helps!!!
