Tarja is explaining to me about her other job. Mary Kay cosmetics consultant. She says they sell products for men too! Skin care, colognes and the like. She tests the waters and starts to describe a clear semi-gloss coating that would be good for my nails. Hold-up there, no sale. I’ve got calices on my hands and proud of ’em. I even manage to whack a digit with a hammer from time to time. But she’s the consummate salesperson and if she’s good at it the next job progression is senior consultant, then team leader, director, senior director and on up the hierarchy. Isn’t that a pyramid?, I ask. No. It’s ‘door marketing’ strategy concept as taught by the Harvard School of Business, she says as if mine is a common question and her’s was artfully composed and indoctrinated at one of their MK convention gatherings. They furnish you a car to drive when you achieve Team Leader status. And it’s not PINK! It’s rose-champagne.
