It’s Not Your MaMa’s Watkins Anymore!

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.

Are you considering becoming a Watkins associate, starting your Watkins home-based business?  If so, your first order of business after opting to join Watkins is to make a good choice on who you will select as your sponsor in Watkins.  After all, the person you choose will be your sponsor for as long as the two of you remain Watkins associates.

You might not have thought about it before, but selecting the right sponsor can make a world of difference in how quick you can build a Watkins business and how successful your Watkins home-based business will become.  Before joining Watkins, I highly recommend you ask yourself a few questions about your potential sponsor.  My list follows below:

  1. Who will be your sponsor if you join Watkins?
  2. Will you receive good training from your sponsor?
  3. Is your sponsor someone you will enjoy working with in the future?
  4. Will your sponsor stay in regular contact with you and provide pointers and advice when needed?
  5. Does your sponsor have something to bring to the table that will improve your chances of success with Watkins?
  6. Is your sponsor knowledgable and well-versed on Watkins products and business practices?
  7. Does your potential sponsor appear to be dependable?
  8. Does your sponsor have a well-rounded business background that allows him or her to train you in many aspects of running a successful business?

There is a high probablity that most people joining Watkins will join through an associate they don’t know or have never met.  If you fall into this category you may wonder aloud, “How on earth can I find the answers to all of these questions?”  To assist new Watkins associate prospects in answering these questions, and allowing them to determine if I might be the right sponsor for you or not, I’ve written a ebook you can download and read for free.  The book is titled, “Work From Home Goldmine,” and can be downloaded for free by clicking here. 

Please read my ebook about marketing Watkins products and feel free to send me an email or call me by phone.  I’ll be happy to answer any questions about Watkins and Watkins products that you might have.

Buying Watkins Products

Print This Post Print This Post Email This Post

Are you looking for a local Watkins products dealer to purchase Watkins products?  With 50,000 Watkins associates operating in the U.S. and Canada, chances are fairly good that you have a Watkins associate within 20 miles of your house.  But if you haven’t seen a Watkins dealer in some time, its because very few operate door-to-door like they did from the 1870′s to the 1970′s. 

Today’s Watkins associate relies on many marketing methods other than door-to-door sales.  That’s not to say that a few still don’t make door-to-door sales, but those that do are hard to find.  Why?  Because of high fuel costs and changing social behaviors in North America.   Whereas the American housewife stayed home to take care of the house and kids before the 1970′s, today’s wife is typically working away from home.  There simply are very few people to call on if you tried to make it as a door-to-door sales person during daylight hours. 

Still, if you’re wanting to buy Watkins products they are not only available, but easier to purchase and receive than ever before.  That’s because you can now buy your Watkins products online and still have a nice friendly Watkins associate to talk to if you have questions.  My name is Craig Whitley.  I’m an independent Watkins associate.  You can call me toll-free at 1-866-759-5158 if you have any questions about Watkins products or would like to place an order by phone.

Better yet, you can order from me directly online by visiting my Watkins internet store at http://www.watkinsonline.com/whitley .  Feel free to order your Watkins products online safely and securely through Watkins secure Internet server.  Your Watkins products will be shipped directly to your door, saving you money on fuel costs.  With 350 Watkins products in all to choose from, you’ll find there are numerous Watkins products you can use to replace those you normally buy from the grocery store, saving you money on both products and fuel.
