It is wild to think I started my consulting and speaking career over 40 years ago when I created this “marketing” button, “I’m So Excited! Ask Me Why?” for Mary Kay Cosmetics. I never knew in a MILLION years that one idea would grow into what Speaktacular! is today!

I was a new consultant with Mary Kay and was told I needed to get to the convention in Dallas. I realized I could sell enough products to raise the funds to attend. However, I have a very creative brain, and I came up with this slogan and put it on a button.

My boss, Carol Anton, who is now a retired National with Mary Kay, gave me 10 minutes at our meeting to share my ideas on how to build our business by using this marketing button! I was over the moon that night when I sold 340+ buttons for $1.00 apiece!

With that — I had my roundtrip airfare and I was off to the Mary Kay Convention.

When I arrived, I thought to myself, how am I going to go about selling the remainder of my buttons? Thank God I wasn’t shy because I took some of my button orders and pinned my entire jacket with pink and burgundy buttons!

One has to stand out — Right?

That brainstorming session helped me sell 2,000 more buttons than I had brought! That weekend changed the course of my life!

My company went from “Buttons and More” to “The Original, Buttons and

More” to Speaktacular!

With button success, I launched a series of talks and new marketing
buttons, which, over the years, I’ve shared with hundreds of organizations.
