“The Mary Kay opportunity is truly the greatest |

Achieving. When Independent Senior National Sales Director Emeritus Ruell Cone attended her first Mary Kay skin care class, her family had two trundle beds, a refrigerator and a piano. But Ruell knew the seeds of greatness were within her.
Ruell went on to break many Company records. She became a charter member of the Half-Million-Dollar Circle; she was the first black woman to be a Top 10 Sales Director; for all four years she was a Sales Director, she was a Top 10 Sales Director; in 1976, she was the first to achieve $700,000 in unit retail production and was crowned Queen of Unit Sales as the No. 1 Independent Sales Director in the Company. She was the first black woman to debut as a National Sales Director. “My story is really the story of all the beautiful Independent Sales Directors and Independent Beauty Consultants in the Cone area,” Ruell says. “It is the story of their drive, determination, pride, perseverance, and most of all their burning desire to make their dreams come true.” But Ruell’s greatest pride comes from that fact
that her Mary Kay business allowed her to put all three of her
children through college and medical school. “The Mary Kay opportunity
is
truly the greatest in the whole world,” she says. “What is so beautiful
and wonderful is that you can make it happen for you.” |

After
signing her Independent Beauty Consultant Agreement, Ruell asked
her Independent Sales Director what the highest position in the
Mary Kay career was. “She said, ‘Independent National Sales Director,’”
Ruell recalls. “Right then I set my goal to be one, and I hadn’t
even held my first skin care class.”
