Lesson #1: Live by the Golden Rule
“I can say unequivocally that every decision we make at Mary Kay Cosmetics is based on the Golden Rule,” said Ash. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Obedience to the Unenforceable
There is the rule of law and the rule of free choice. In between is the rule of self. If we are not careful to manage the rule of self in the interest of customers, employees, and others, we may find that someone somewhere will legislate the rule for us.
Closing with Passion
When you get the opportunity to close, always remember to close with the benefits that the customer has stated.

Challenging the 80:20 rule
It’s probably the best-known and most-repeated rule in sales: 80% of your sales come from 20% of your customers.

Follow Rule of Connectivity Not Competition
Entire universe follow the rule of connectivity. Now, business leaders start following the rule of connectivity in the business houses. Recently, Yahoo and Microsoft have followed the rule.

FTC New Business Opportunity Rule - Reduced Disclosure But Increased Coverage
Effective March 1, 2012, the FTC’s new Business Opportunity Rule1 becomes effective (the “New Biz Op Rule”). The New Biz Op Rule significantly reduces a business opportunity seller’s disclosure obligation to a prospective purchaser, as the previous format (the FTC Disclosure Statement containing 20 items of required information) has been changed and reduced to a 1-page form requiring 5 items of information that the seller is required to disclose. However, the New Biz Op Rule applies to more companies as, not only business opportunity sellers currently covered by the Interim Biz Op Rule will be subject to the New Biz Op Rule, but also work-at-home programs such a jewelry assembly and envelope stuffing, will meet the expanded definition of a business opportunity.
