History of Sample Friday: Deb Dudas worked 70 hrs a week (mostly 3-11 & midnights) & EVERY Friday she forced herself to spend from 7 am -11 am (after work) building her Business. So each week, “I chose a product, put a sheet numbered 1-30 on a clipboard & asked 30 people that day to try a new Mary Kay Product.” This is what you must do to make this work: Have your MK Face on and look SHARP! Keep a few brochures, cards & TW samples with you Walk up to a lady and say, “Today is Sample Friday & every Friday I sample a new MK product to 30 people that I meet.This week's product is HAND CREAM. May I show you on your hand? (squirt) Doesn't that feel great? It normally sells for $7.50, but today, it's on sale for only $6.00” Smile, then have her sign her name that she was one of the people that tried it and see if it can go anywhere. HAVE FUN with it! Could hand it thru the drive-thru windows. Everybody loves something FREE! Here are some hints: Use a full size product Why? It's Section 1 (you get credit from the company for using it, it counts in the reorder column of weekly accomplishment sheet!) and helps to build your Star It eliminates the question: HOW BIG IS IT…or…HOW DOES IT REALLY COME? It's an inexpensive (cheap!) way to sample 30 people. What this does…. Builds a local business wherever you go. Makes you known as “the Mary Kay Lady.” Whether they buy it or not…it makes no difference. What we're looking for is recognition that YOU are with MK. If a lead develops (and it always does) GREAT! If not, they can refer you to others. Makes you feel great to offer something to someone. Builds incredible warm chatter skills & self confidence. Remember…You are the BEST walking advertisement & entertainment in America! Take this lightly…SMILE…and have an impact on 30 people on Fridays. THIS WILL BUILD STAR CONSULTANT STATUS…FAST! This is not a one shot idea. It's to be worked EACH & EVERY week! Your commitment to building a large customer base. Use simple products that need no props & are quick…i.e. Hand Cream, Revitalizing Lotion, Hydrating Lotion, Day/Night, Satin Lips (will need to cut paper towel into 1/4s & have a spatula ), Lip buttons.
