The Watkins ManI grew up on a small Louisiana farm in the 1950′s and early 1960′s.  One of life’s special treats in those days was the monthly visit by the “Watkin’s man.”  He would drive up to our farm house in a black paneled truck with the Watkins name in gold script letters on each side.  He was always dressed in a black suit, white shirt, a colored tie and a black hat.  I no longer can recall his name and not sure if I ever knew it.  For everyone in the family simply called him the “Watkins man,” except for when he was visiting us.

The “Watkins man” captivated us each month.  Like a magician pulling a rabbit out of his hat, the Watkins man would open his large black leather display case, that also had the word Watkins in gold letters on each site, and begin demonstrating new products and old, concentrating like every good salesman on ones we had’nt tried before. 

Our kitchen pantry and medicine cabinets were chocked full of Watkins products.  My Granny Brown used double strength vanilla, walnut and banana extracts, cinnamon, black pepper and many more products for the kitchen.  Like every good mother, she had passed down the tradition of using Watkins to my mother. 

My Papa Brown was practically a Watkins groupie.  The man treated Petro Carbo salve with a special reverence like none I’ve ever seen.  You would have thought it had been discovered by Ponce de Leon himself.  He treated everything you can possibly imagine with Petro Carbo salve, from minor cuts, scrapes and burns to open wounds that should have been stitched — on both people and dogs. 

I can recall countless times when our hog dog “Sport” would get cut badly by a wild boar or injured badly in a dog fight and Papa Brown would holler, “Craig, run get me the can of Petro Carbo.”  And a miracle ointment it was indeed, for any and everyone we treated always healed quickly with Petro Carbo.  It still holds a special place in the medicine cabinets of my house and my parents.

Ah, but do those days of old bring back fond memories.  And here I am today, a proud “Watkins man” myself.  But things have changed a lot at Watkins over the last 40 years.  As I frequently tell others interested in this fantastic home-based business opportunity, “It’s not your Mama’s Watkins anymore!”  No, instead its much better.

Today’s Watkins is no longer a door-to-door sales business.  Oh sure, it can be, but there are far more, far better and far easier ways to market Watkins.  From Good Tastings parties, to festival and trade show sales, to online e-commerce sales and catalog distribution, selling Watkins is a fun and easy way to make money. 

Most importantly for Watkins associates, one can now make a full-time income working Watkins part-time because the owners of Watkins have given associates a fantastic associate compensation model that now allows associates to build an unlimited residual income stream.  In the old days, Watkins “dealers” had to work Waktins full time to make a full time income.  With today’s associate compensation model and the leverage of network marketing, it is possible to build a full-time income in 3 to 5 years working your Watkins business part-time, usually 8 to 10 hours per week.
