Whatever Happened to Watkins Products?

Whatever happened to Watkins Products?  This is a question I found myself asking my mother and father a few years ago.  Their answer . . . “I don’t know, the Watkins man hasn’t visited us for years.  We don’t even know who serves us now.” 

I’m now happy to say that my Mom and Dad don’t have to ask that question anymore.  For there very son, i.e., yours truly, has become their “Watkins man.”  But still, the question lingers.  Sometimes I will mention to a baby boomer that I have my own Watkins products business, and they’ll respond — “Watkins, whatever happened to Watkins products?”  I realize my comments were not heard, but the word “Watkins” was heard and it always brings back warm memories of yesterday.

But I still find myself in disbelief, realizing that although my Watkins territory covers all of North America, just as it does for 50,000 other Watkins associates, and although our company is now 10 times larger than the pool of 5,000 associates it had when it was purchased by Irwin Jacobs in 1978, I still run into people that haven’t heard of Watkins. 

And that my friends is a true goldmine.  To have the knowledge that I can sell 350 outstanding products and have so little competition is money in the bank.  Just the thought of knowing I represent a 140-year old firm that is still far away from saturating the North American marketplace with its great products, gives me tremendous faith in my ability to build a fortune with Watkins.

Sure, I still hold a full time job.  But my full-time job is to produce income I need to support my family and household.  My part-time Watkins income, which builds significantly each month, is used to build my fortune.  Imagine the power of that — to use your full-time job to build the income you need for living, while using your Watkins part-time business opportunity to build your fortune.

Thus, my answer to the question of “Whatever happened to Watkins products?” is usually as follows.  “Watkins is not as visible as it once was because it seldom markets door to door and we no longer run a fleet of 18-wheelers across America.  In fact, our sales have never been higher and our number of sales associates has never been greater (than they are today).  Watkins products is not only alive, well and kicking, but its now 140 years old, has strong management and leadership skills, and is no longer a small company.  Watkins has over 350 different products that are all outstanding in their own right.  “  Give several your consideration.
