Some of the features you can take advantage of as you move up in your business include: importing team/unit members and production from InTouch® (US & Canada only) or the Desktop Office Manager (US only); importing WAS information sent via email by unit members with Boulevard; Top Recruits and Batch Top Recruits query information for recognition and newsletters; and projections for unit production. As you can tell, Boulevard offers robust Sales Director and National features already built into the software and just waiting for you.
Making use of the many Director-specific features in your Boulevard software opens the door to growth opportunities for you. For instance, ensuring you stay in contact with top producers and being able to encourage them as they grow their business. Helping new team members start their business off right with an open house and teaching them how to hold a skin care class. And don’t forget – Main Street can mail postcards for almost any occasion or reason. Let us help keep you on track – we’ll manage the details while you work with the people on your team and in your customer base.
You’ll also want to receive all the special Sales Director NewsFlash™ notifications we send out periodically. Inside your Boulevard software program, go to Preferences located under the File menu. Choose the NewsFlash tab and select all three boxes to indicate you are a sales director. You will now receive NewsFlash messages letting you know when the Early Offer order form is available for download (US only), trainings conducted in your specific area, as well as special sales director only news and offers (E.g. Leadership deals).
We look forward to guiding and assisting you as you continue to build and grow your team. Hey, be sure to send us a quick email too. We want to send you a special packet along with our congratulations!

Balancing your Mary Kay product order in Boulevard software before placing and receiving it into your inventory is crucial for tax records. Here are a couple of things to check:
- Add all Section 1 bonus items with a 100% discount.
- Add all Section 2 bonus items and change the price to zero.
If your state has items that are non-taxable, be sure these items are not marked to calculate tax (check the individual product dialog box). If you’re on our premium Product Update Service, check your quarterly newsletter for video demonstrations on adding the current product bonus to your product orders. As one of the benefits of the service, you can also call and our customer service representatives can walk you through step-by-step.
At times, part of the bonuses you receive may include items that cannot be purchased, or are part of a set. For instance, you may receive a single PC premium the month prior to its release (e.g., Mini Satin Hands Gift Set) or a merchandising product (e.g., Women’s Eau de Toilette Gift Bag). You even receive Queen’s Court/Section 1 credit for this gift. To balance your order in these cases, you’ll need to complete some additional steps.
- When the order matches with the exception of the Section 1 retail (which should be short the value of the premium), go ahead and place and receive the order.
- Edit the completed order to adjust your Queen’s Court/Section 1 retail value to include the PC Premium.
- Upon completion of the order, if you track your PC Premium quantities, you will want to edit the physical count for the item received.
If you have received a free Section 2 item, that is not in your Boulevard product list, you can either choose to not include the item in your inventory counts (Section 2 is free – no tax is charged therefore will not impact your totals), or create a part number, then add it to the product order.
If you choose to add the item, we suggest using an alpha character part number (e.g., WEDTGBAG for Women’s Eau de Toilette Gift Bags), or wait until you receive the order and use the published part number from the MK packing list. Once the part number has been added to your Boulevard, you may then add the it to the order and change the price to zero. Complete the order as usual when your totals match the packing slip.

This year Main Street Software, Inc. staff attended both the Canadian and US Seminars and enjoyed meeting new customers, catching up with those who have been with us, and making new friends.
As is usual, we could hardly beat the heat in Dallas and attendees were happy to shop, sit a spell in our booth, and enjoy a demonstration of Boulevard. Customer Service Manager, Kennedy, attended in Dallas along with long-time customer, Betty, and Customer Service Representatives Christy and Tami. Boulevard 2010 was on display as we showed how to export orders to the online ordering system (US only), import beauty profile information, track bank deposits made, and manage money with the Business Tracking Register.
Attendees who stopped by and saw us received an extra entry in the Win LuAnn for a Day contest and took away a goodie bag complete with every woman’s best friend – chocolate! Canadians were treated to a special class with LuAnn followed by a day to stop by and get questions asked or see demonstrations. We are so excited to be able to attend these events and bring the customer service we are known for to you!
