Unpacking Your Starter Kit
"What you believe, you can achieve." -Mary Kay Ash
Once your Inventory has Arrived
- Label your inventory with your product labels (especially skin care and skin supplements). Labels can be ordered from MKConnections (I suggest ordering the business kit). Make SURE you have your phone, email AND websiteon your reorder labels, stamp and business cards!
- Use your business kit stamp to stamp all Look Books, Beauty Books, and team building materials.
- The Beauty Coat, Trunk Organizer, and Inventory Carrier (pictured below) are great to invest in if you have extra funds after becoming a Star Consultant and can also be ordered from MKConnections.
- A fishing tackle box is perfect for eye and lip liner samples as well as mascara wands, sponge tip applicators, Q-tips etc. 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 your car trunk except in times of extreme heat or cold. Be sure to alphabetize the eye shadows and blushes, etc. for easy location while filling orders!
- Discuss with your recruiter or director how much of each item to take to your appointments.
