TBO:
For someone who says she is not a sales person, Selia Garza has done quite well selling Mary Kay cosmetics.
Garza started working for Mary Kay in 2001 and met her production goal in the first four months working part time. Her reward was earning the use of her first Mary Kay car.
Garza recently took delivery of her second Mary Kay car, a 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. Mary Kay covers the lease and insurance, and Garza is responsible for the gas. The car can be driven for personal use.
A loyal Mary Kay customer for years, Garza said she initially was not interested in part-time work for the company because she was not interested in sales, already had a full-time job and has children.
She learned from a Mary Kay consultant that she could receive products and get discounts. After talking with her husband about how much money she had been spending with Mary Kay, Garza decided to go to work for the company.
Garza works full time in the insurance business. She devotes two days a week to Mary Kay.
“I love to meet new people and like women to feel good about themselves from the outside to the inside,” she said.
Garza is apparently among a growing number of people involved in home-based businesses. Some may be having difficulty finding employment, while others are seeking ways to supplement their income.
