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. Mary Kay independent sales force members earn the use of a career car/cash option by meeting and exceeding sales, recruiting, coaching, and leadership goals set within their Mary Kay businesses.
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
The Mary Kay Career Car Program now includes a black Toyota Camry, black Ford Mustang, black Chevy Equinox crossover, white Chevy Cruze and the iconic pearlized pink Cadillac and all equaled with the Cash Option Award.
“Cars or Cash earned by the independent sales force through this exciting program serve as a symbol of their hard-work and success in their Mary Kay businesses,” said Darrell Overcash, president of Mary Kay Inc. U.S. “For fifty years, Mary Kay has continued to provide a rewarding opportunity with a focus of enriching the lives of women around the world.”
Since the Career Car Program’s inception in 1969, more than 141,000 independent sales force members have qualified or re-qualified to earn the use of a Mary Kay career car. Currently, 5,927 Mary Kay career cars/cash options are provided by Mary Kay nationwide.
