Mary Kay Independent Sales Director Rita McCans of Greenville, OH has earned the prestigious Cash Option Award in lieu of her 19th Mary Kay car as a result of her outstanding achievements and leadership with her Unit of Consultants and her business. McCans has been on the road to success for 38 years with her own business and after taking delivery of 16 Mary Kay cars, decided 3 cars ago to take the Cash Option Award instead.

McCans began her Mary Kay business as an Independent Consultant in July 1975 and as a direct result of her accomplishments, became an Independent Sales Director, in July 1981. As an Independent Sales Director, the top 2% of the sales force, she chooses to provide education, mentoring and leadership by example to her Unit of Independent Mary Kay Consultants, while also serving her own customers.
“I believe the power of mentoring is extremely important in life. I was forever blessed to have had Mary Kay Ash as my mentor and role model to whom I will be forever grateful. The Mary Kay Consultants in my Unit emulate Mary Kay’s heart and spirit in their businesses and I am blessed every day to have the privilege of working with these real hero’s in my life. I love working with a company, who values their people as their most important asset. And last but not least, I really appreciate not having had the expense of a car plus insurance for 35 years,” said a grateful McCans
