Two Years With Watkins – One Vacation and Three Top 10 Awards!

Print This Post Print This Post Email This Post

I joined Watkins in February 2008 and achieved the Manager level in 1 year, which is essentially 5 levels above the beginning level of  Consultant.  By March 2010, only 2 years and one month later, I was lying on the beaches of Kona, Hawaii enjoying my first “Watkins trip,” a feat won by me and about 30 other Watkins associates.  Not bad, when you consider the fact that there’s about 50,000 Watkins associates operating in the U.S. and Canada, and I accomplished this goal in two years.

I just returned from Watkins annual conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota a week ago and have been too busy to update my blog with my list of accomplishments.  I won 3 awards at the conference and was told by my upline that no other associate in Watkins won more awards.  Until the next newsletter from Watkins gets published, I’m not sure I can cite off the top of my head what my 3 awards were for, frankly speaking.  The awards did not have a reference to the category, and apparently my hotel maid liked them better than I did, because they magically disappeared from my room on my last night in Minneapolis. (oh well).  I do know that I finished in 2nd place company-wide for top sponsoring at the Manager level and below.   Once I’ve confirmed my placements and categories, I’ll update this blog post.

Somehow, it seems quite foolish talking about the achievements of one’s self.  I decided to write this post because I often get asked the question by prospects considering the Watkins home-based business opportunity, “How fast can I achieve success with a Watkins business?”  My answer to that question these days is to simply point out what I’ve been able to achieve with Watkins, working just 8 to 10 hours per week for a couple of years. 

When considering a Watkins business, one of the most important decisions you need to make up front is deciding who is going to be your sponsor.  After all, the simplest way to become successful is to find someone else that’s successful and copy their model.  But to copy or follow someone’s model you need to ensure that the person you choose as your sponsor will also be a good mentor and coach.  When people ask me how am I building a Watkins business, I point out right away that I’m building a Watkins team, and I’m doing it through coaching and mentoring — teaching others how to enjoy Watkins success.

Since joining Watkins I’ve discovered that not everyone wants a mentor and coach.  Many that say they do really only want to talk a couple of times by phone and then they seem to go their own separate way, building their business “their way.”  This is actually one of the biggest mistakes in the network marketing business — trying to do things “your way.”  I’ve been with Watkins for over two years and I still consult my upline several times per month.  My reason for doing so is simple, “I want to take advantage of their years of experience with Watkins and learn as much from their past mistakes and misfires as I have from their successes.”  Why?  Because I don’t want to make the same mistakes they did, and by avoiding many of the pitfalls others fall into, I can shorten my own road to success.  Thus far, that approach and decision has worked very well for me.

If you’re considering Watkins as a source of second income or part-time business venture, I would love to tell you more about our great business opportunity and explain my mentoring and coaching methods.  All conversations and emails are handled on a no-hassel, no-pressure, no-obligation to join basis.  In essense, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by contacting me.  Feel free to call my toll free number at 1-866-759-5158 to learn more about this great business opportunity, or request my free Watkins  Business Evaluation Kit today!

Pros and Cons of Starting a Watkins Products Business

Print This Post Print This Post Email This Post

“Why choose Watkins products as your source of extra income, or work from home business opportunity?”  I get asked this question a lot.  Making a T-List of pros and cons that evaluate the Watkins home business opportunity is really quite amusing.  Why?  Because the list of “pros” is so long it’s almost unbelievable, and trying to come up with a list of “cons” is almost impossible. 

Still, for those that are interested in marketing Watkins products, I’ll do my best to paint a fair picture and unbiased picture for you.  To be fair, let me first start by saying any review I give of Watkins may not be considered as unbiased, since I’m an Independent Watkins Associate myself.  But I’ll be happy to provide a list of references for you to people that can certify I’m a straight shooter and known to express my opinions, whether good or bad, on all things related to Watkins.

Pros for Selling Watkins Products

As noted above, the list of pros associated with starting a Watkins products business is long.  Ask any Watkins associate about the attributes and benefits of the Watkins home-based business opportunity and I guarantee you that you’ll come up with new pros you can add to my list.  That said, here are some very important attributes of Watkins products that led me to making the decision to start a Watkins home products business of my own.

Watkins products have been trusted by residents of North America for 141 years.  These days Watkins manufactures 350 different products.  Most of them are organic or all-natural, the fastest growing segment of the consumer products industry.   Starting and building a Watkins business is both fun and easy.  Consumers love Watkins products and quickly become repeat buyers.

The Watkins home-based business opportunity is intended to be started as a part-time business.  But over a 5 to 7 year period it is possible to build a part-time Watkins business into a full-time income.  In fact, some Watkins associates have achieved six-figure income levels in this same time frame and still do not have to work full time hours.

This is the beauty of Watkins and the power of Watkins fantastic compensation model.  Now don’t get me wrong, Watkins is not a get rich quick business.  A more accurate description might be a “get rich slow” or “get rich forever” business. 

There are many ways to earn money with Watkins and at least two of them, our Living Naturally home party plan and public event marketing at festivals, craft shows, fairs, flea markets, farmers markets and trade shows can provide instant income of several hundred to a couple of thousand dollars per month.

Watkins Business Owners Reach Success via Many Avenues

I sit here today, amazed once again by the power of the Watkins business model.  Over the past year I’ve enjoyed immense success and pleasure building a Watkins home-based business using online marketing methods.  It’s been a fun ride.  But not everyone is equipped with the skillsets or desire to build a business online.  In fact, most Watkins business owners use traditional marketing methods to build highly success work from home enterprises.

And that’s what this blog article is about — namely, the many ways that one can build a Watkins business.  Every time I interview another successful Watkins business owner and ask “How did you build your business?”  — I’m always left amazed their answer.  Because there’s just so many ways that people are building highly success Watkins businesses, working part-time, enjoying being their own boss.  In fact, I marvel over how many ways I’ve discovered other Watkins business owners are building their Watkins product businesses.  Allow me to present just sample of methods I’ve uncovered:

  1. Online marketing (like I’m building my business)
  2. Home parties (called Living Naturally parties by Watkins) – one of our most successful, most productive and fastest money-building business models.
  3. Display booths at public events -  another way to make money with Watkins quickly, and in large chuncks.  By public events, I’m talking about selling Watkins products at Church bazaars, festivals, craft shows, flea markets, trade shows, county and state fairs, etc.
  4. Catalog distribution and mail order – Watkins publishes two types of catalogs for distribution.  A large Master Products Catalog and our monthly Watkins Highlights catalogs that always feature the products on sale for the monthy.  To order your free catalog, click to http://www.FreeCatalog.me
  5. Selling to retail establishments — Storefront owners can sign up under you and market up to 20 Watkins products from their store (Watkins manufactures 350 products).
  6. Conducting tasting parties at teachers lounges and hospitals
  7. Selling a Farmer’s Markets – always a winner
  8. Conducting Fundraising Events
  9. Transfer Buying – Teaching others how to use their Watkins membership as a “Buyer’s Club,” and how, just by replacing name-brand products in their home with Watkins products they can build a phenominal Watkins business without selling — just being user’s and buyers, and teaching others how to do the same.  I provide a free book on this method in my FREE, custom-packed, Watkins Business Evaluation Kit.  Request your kit now.  Every kit is shipped within 24 hours by Priority Mail and comes with my exclusive “No-Obligation to Join” guarantee.
  10. Supply Gourmet Restaurants – literally no vendor or manufacturer can beat the quality of Watkins cinnamon, black pepper, double-strength vanilla, etc.  High-end restaurants looking for that extra edge and memorable dining experience for their customers love Watkins products.  Numerous bakeries and ice cream makers use our famous extracts and flavorings.
  11. Setting Up Booths at Yard Sales -  Yes, you heard me right.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting a highly successful Watkins associate and Manager who got her Watkins business up and running by paying a small fee to home owners that would allow her to display and sell Watkins products at their yard sale.    By providing a free drawing she was able to accumulate leads for home party hosts, new customers and new associates for her downline.
  12. Selling at Assisted Living Homes – A few months back a little lady in Iowa contacted me via email and asked if I could come do a Watkins home party for her.  I explained that I lived in Texas, but knew someone in Iowa I could recommend her to.  The party was held 2 months later by a fellow Watkins associate that lived in Iowa.  She contacted me a couple of days after the party and exclaimed, “I had the party, it was in an assisted living home, there were 11 ladies present, the youngest was 69, and guess what — they ordered $567 worth of product and want me to come back again in six months.”  

Associates that do Living Naturally home parties, whether at homes, teacher’s lounges, hospitals, before Church groups, etc., will earn a Watkins associate an average of $50 per hour for the time and effort put into conducting a home party event.  Are you making $50 per hour in your business.  If not, you might be interested in learning more about the Watkins business opportunity by clicking here.

The 12 methods I’ve outlined for making money with Watkins are just a sampling.  Associates are using many others methods to build their Watkins business.  In fact, I even left out the most important and biggest moneymaking method of all.  If you’re interested in learning what it is and how you can build a six-figure income from it — feel free to call me at 1-888-OUR-WATKINS (or 1-888-687-9285) and leave a convenient time and number I can reach you to answer any questions you have and tell you how to build a six-figure income from Watkins.  I handle all phone calls on a “no-pressure, no obligation to join basis.” 

So what can we learn from today’s post?  Simply, that Watkins, is not your father or mother’s Watkins anymore.  The door-to-door sales method that made Watkins famous so many years ago, has been replaced in modern times to a host of new marketing methods that produce better results than before.  Why not make Watkins your work from home opportunity to gain financial freedom and reduce stress in your life?  Free yourself from the rat race – join Watkins today.
