“Sylina Buehne said she laughed when someone first suggested she get involved selling Mary Kay cosmetics.“I wasn’t a salesman,” she said.She was still laughing Tuesday, and Buehne’s chuckles of skepticism turned to giggles of sheer joy as she picked up her new bright red Pontiac Grand Am — an award from the company for her efforts during the past five months.“It’s a trophy on wheels,” said Fran McDowell, a senior director with the Mary Kay firm. “It’s very significant that (Sylina) did it this fast.”Mary Kay, Inc., a Dallas-based company, has been rewarding its staff of independent sales people with automobiles ever since 1969 when it gave each of its top five directors pink Cadillacs.
