MK University

Beauty Consultant Onboarding

Mary Kay

Mary Kay is one of the largest direct-sellers of beauty products in the world. 

 

Need

Incoming Beauty Consultants need to learn a lot to manage their new business, and Mary Kay wanted to revolutionize the way they were teaching them. 

Approach 

A new form of interaction and technological advancement was needed to deliver a modern and flexible training experience to new Beauty Consultants while making sure they were progressing through the well-tested steps of building a successful Mary Kay business. But it couldn’t feel like training!

Solution

We built a backend Learning Management System (LMS) to guide and track learners through the business-building process, meeting learners on the front-end with a tailored-for-them curriculum accessed independently though their portal login.  

Microlearning experiences, delivered by computer, tablet, or phone provided flexibility, and a fun, beautiful, and light-hearted style matched the expectations of Beauty Consultants for learning at Mary Kay.  

Through a carefully managed arc of product demonstrations, guided business planning exercises, practice conversations, and video storytelling, the new onboarding experience ensured newcomers were empowered with the wisdom and tools to succeed.
