A Great 10-Minute by Diane Andrews!

A BIG thanks to Mary Kay specialist Diane Andrews for her amazing 10 minute last week. It was a fun and interactive presentation! Diane gave us all an opportunity to smell some of the Mary Kay fragrances and to sample the microdermabrasion and replenish skin care products.

Diane also invited each of us to setup a one-to-one at her home office where she can better introduce us to the Mary Kay product line. She's got a great client book where she plans to take our "after" pictures and list all our professional information too. She makes the book available to her clients outside of BNI, so there's a good chance someone will catch a look at your business info while viewing your makeover photo! What a great idea for each of us to learn more about Diane's product line so we can provide better referrals to her, while at the same time taking advantage of the opportunity to be in her book.

Good referrals for Diane include women who take care of themselves and who take pride in their appearance. These women invest in quality skin care and cosmetics and make wonderful Mary Kay customers. She's also interested in introductions to women who may be interested in exploring Mary Kay as a full or part time career.

And don't forget Mary Kay for Mother's Day! Contact Diane for great gift ideas or go to her website at http://www.marykay.com/dianeandrews

It looks even better in person, so if anyone wants to see the quality of work that Charlie and his team provide, feel free to drop by and check it out.

Charlie - you are my hero!

BEFORE PHOTO is first ... white floor ... lovely to look at ... pure hell to live on with four dogs.
