Home-Based Mary Kay Sales Director Sees Sales Soar Despite Economy

Fox Business:

Who: Kelly Hogan, independent sales director at Mary Kay Cosmetics, leads a pink Cadillac unit; the pink Cadillac is the most well-known symbol of a Mary Kay independent sales force member’s success. She has been a director with the company for eight years.

What: Hogan’s primary position is to teach women anti-aging skin care and color application techniques. She also mentors women on how to succeed in their own businesses at their own pace. Hogan says of the range of expertise of all the beauty consultants she works with: “We become like a family. I love to see how they spur each other on to success. This opportunity is so much fun for me.”

Where: Hogan’s home office is the large “bonus” room in her home in Raleigh, N.C. She says it’s close enough to hear what’s going on in the house, but far enough away to provide a boundary so she can also “turn it off” when she chooses to be off work. She says it’s also helps muffle the noise her four children may be making in the rest of the house when she’s on work calls. From her home office, Hogan can hold meetings and appointments, but she also offers the option to visit clients in their homes.
