Watkins Business Owners Rejoice

Print This Post Print This Post Email This Post

Watkins is having a banner year — during the midst of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, proof again that Watkins associates enjoy the greatest home-based business opportunity in America.  141 years old and counting, Watkins has not only endured every economic recession in America since 1868, the company has breezed through them with flying colors. 

Why?  Well, there are many reasons, but chief among them is the fact that most of our products are recession proof products and a large segment of our vast 350-item product line are products used for cooking and baking.  What does every recession have in common — people cutting back on their discretionary income spending and more people eating at home, rather than eating out.  No pun intended, but the proof is in the pudding. 

During the Great Depression Watkins was only a handful of companies in North America that actually grew in sales each year and added new jobs each year.  Wow!  Does that make a statement?   Watkins impeccable reputation represents a plethora of statements to the business world. 

Want a few more?  How about, “Watkins has never had a single product recall in its entire 141-year history.”  How, about “J.R. Watkins invented the money back guarantee.  Prior to J.R. and the famous Red Liniment product he founded the company on, no one had ever offered a money back guarantee in the business world.  In the tradition of J.R. Watkins, every Watkins business owner can proudly say he or she still offers a money back guarantee on every product they market, to every customer they meet.

But there’s more to this story.  Watkins business owners are happy because they are fortunate to work for a company that doesn’t pigeon-hole them into a single means or ways of making money.  The fun of running your own Watkins business is in knowing there are many ways to build a Watkins business and you can customize  a business strategy that best suits your talents, skill sets, personality and time schedule.

Watkins business owners rejoice regularly because they work for a solid company that is on the leading edge of the “all-natural” craze that is sweeping America.  Our entire 11-product cleaning line is made up of all-natural, plant-based products that are good for our envirnoment.  We have scores of products that are either all-natural or organic.  In fact, Watkins is so committed to producing all-natural products it recently made the decision to take the red dye out of its Red Liniment to make the product an all-natural product.  How many companies do you know that would take a product their company was founded on, that they’ve been marketing for 141 years, that is synamous with their brand, and risk sales by removing the color that made the product famous?  I personally can’t think of any.

An on the subject of integrity, Watkins business owners can rejoice in knowing that where other companies that compete in our product arena go for the lower FDA classification of “Food Grade,” Watkins manufactures numerous products to the higher “Pharmaceutical Grade” standard of the FDA.

Of course, no network marketing company would be worth its salt if it didn’t have a good compensation plan.  Watkins is a pioneer in the network marketing business and has one of the best compensation plans in the industry.  You’re not limited to earning commissions or bonuses on just 3, 4, 5 or 6 levels, but you can literally earn income from every level you have a Manager on.

Twelve Steps to Becoming a Successful Watkins Dealer

Print This Post Print This Post Email This Post

New Watkins associates and prospects alike are always asking me what pointers or advice I can offer that will guarantee their success.  Obviously, everyone has their own definition of what “success” means to them, but if we can settle on the definition of success in Watkins as being “getting off to a fast start and growing one’s business each and every month,” then I can offer the following criteria for what it takes to be successful in this business:

  1. Pick a successful sponsor with good coaching and mentoring skills and give him or her a frank assessment of yourself, describing why you joined Watkins, how you see yourself building your business, how much money you want to make, how quick you need to achieve that level of income, what talents and experience you have and how much time you can devote to your new Watkins business.  Then ask him or her to take that input and suggest a plan of action that will best suit your personality, skill sets, experience, talents and time constraints.  If your sponsor is worth his or her salt they should get you pointed in the right direction “for you.”
  2. Don’t toss your sponsor’s suggestions aside or dismiss them altogether.  Chances are he or she learned Watkins the hard way, through trial and error, the school of hard knocks, per se.  Take advantage of thier experience and follow their advice.  Too often I see associates that are headstrong and determined to cut their own path, make their own mark, and fail because they started with a bad plan of action and refused to let it go.
  3. For quick money, focus on retailing.  For big, long-term money don’t keep trading “hours for dollars.”  Instead, enjoy the residual income stream of a network marketing company and leverage your time by focusing on sponsoring with a litte retailing blended in to make you a well-rounded team leader.  Sponsoring and team-building are definitely the tried and proven way to make a six figure income in this business.
  4. Do not give up retailing altogether and go sponsoring 100% of the time.  It helps your team building achievements immensely if you can demonstrate to your download that you’ve been there, done that, know where you’re coming from when you teach retailing tips.
  5. Spend some time on your business each and every day, even if for only 10 minutes a day.  Slacking off for one day an easily give way to two idle days, then three, etc.  Before too long inactivity will be your death knell and you’ll have no business.
  6. Listen to motivational tapes, audios and watch motivational DVD’s.  Most people are not self-motivated, so focus on learning ways  to keep yourself motivated and on top of your game. 
  7. Learn all you can about your products and become passionate about them and the positive attributes they can mean to people who need and use them.
  8. Set goals for yourself each month.
  9. Ask a friend or fellow associate to become your “accountability partner” and keep them informed of your progress and whether or not you’re achieving your goals.  You’ll find it’s much more difficult to make excuses to someone else for inactivity than it is to yourself. 
  10. Pick marketing methods that leverage and optmize your time.  Do you want to sell one person at a time, or multiple people at a time?  If you’re not a face-to-face person you can achieve this goal by marketing online and by sponsoring, teaching others how to market to multiple prospects at a time.
  11. Always be honest with your prospects and your customers.  Never mislead them.  Build a foundation based on honestly and fair-minded principles and you’ll have customers that will remain loyal to you throughout the years.
  12. Consult with your upline if you’re not growing your business.   Good sponsors can usually diagnose your problem quickly and recommend a solution.  Follow it!

I could go on easily and name another 10 or 12 steps that will help your achieve success with Watkins, but follow the ones I’ve listed in this article and you’ll quickly move to the front of the line and make your company’s top associate’s list in no time.

Watkins Home Business Opportunity Kit

Print This Post Print This Post Email This Post

The Watkins home-based business opportunity is now 141 years old.  Think about that for a minute.  How many times have you chased or tried one so-called get rich quick opportunity or another, only to find out it was a scam, have the company go out of business, or simply never saw anything approaching the results the company or its associates advertised?  Probably several in your life I’m betting. 

I talk to people everyday that contact me looking for a stable, legitimate, honest and down-to-earth business opportunity.   Fortunately, I’m a Watkins associate and the business opportunity they seek is what I offer to provide them, along with my personal coaching and training guarantee. 

Most of the people I talk to are surprised to find out I don’t try to over-hype Watkins or the business opportunity Watkins offers residents of the U.S. and Canada.  Why?  Because (1) I don’t have to, and (2) Watkins has an impeccable reputation we want to protect, and we’re not going to jeopardize that reputation by being like the other guys — spewing out hype, saying or promising whatever it takes to get someone to join, or using high-pressure sales tactics.   In fact, if you’re like that or you wouldn’t have a problem acting like that, I have no interest in talking to you. 

Our hype is our reputation.  The Watkins reputation speaks for itself.  Watkins manufactures and sells 350 outstanding products for the home, family and personal use, and stands behind every product it makes with a “satisfaction or your money back guarantee.”  In fact, Watkins even provides a money back guarantee on its new associate start-up kit.  Show me one company in the network marketing industry that will do that! 

Founded 141 years ago, Watkins has always marketed its products through home-based Watkins distributors.  And throughout that time period the company has never had a single product recall.  Not one.  All products are designed and produced to the highest standard, with an ongoing commitment by Watkins to increase the number of all-natural, environmentally friendly products in its line as quickly as possible.

I’ve been around a long time.  Over the years I’ve seen many young people, as well as old, feel like the secret to success was jumping on board the “next big deal.”  The big hype in the network marketing business has always been, “start with a new company and get in on the ground floor.”  You hear this all the time because that’s all a new company has to sell, and it’s a total farce.   The exact opposite is true.  Don’t believe me?  Look at the stats.  95% of all new network marketing companies fail — usually going bankrupt in 3 years or less.  Most are what I call “one trick ponies,” as they typically enter the business with a single product.  Juice product companies, for example, are the first that come to mind that fit my one trick pony description.  Compare these to Watkins with its line of 350 products.  There’s no comparison.

Are you one of those who’ve been stung before by a young network marketing company going out of business after you’ve put your heart and soul and untold hours into a young network marketing company with visions of grandeur and a promise to make millions because you “got in on the ground floor?”  If so, rather than spending the rest of your life chasing get rich quick schemes only to walk away empty, why not join Watkins?  A company rich in tradition, with 350 great products, the vast majority of which are recession-proof products, a  pioneer in the network marketing industry and an outstanding compensation plan that rewards you handsomely for your effort.

But is Watkins a get-rich quick plan?  Heck no, and you’ll never see a Watkins associate make such a claim.  I call Watkins a “get rich slow” plan.  And I feel that any true, legitimate and honest work from home business opportunity worth its salt is just that, a get rich slow plan.  

You’re probably thinking, “How slow is slow?”  Fair question.   When you join Watkins your road to a six-figure income will depend on several factors, like: how many hours a week you devote to your business, what marketing methods you choose, whether you concentrate on retailing or sponsoring or both, etc.   

Before providing a specific answer I’d also like to remind my readers that Watkins is intended to be started as a part-time business and built to a full-time income over time.  It is extremely easy to carry on with your current job or career and run a successful Watkins business.  I myself spend 7 to 10 hours per week running my Watkins business.   And assuming you focus on sponsoring and team building, working between 7 and 10 hours per week, it’s possible to build your Watkins business into a six-figure income in 5 to 7 years.  Not too bad for a part-time business opportunity. 

Others have built six-figure income businesses with Watkins in as little as 3 years, some longer than my 5 to 7 year estimate.  So the rule of thumb I’ve provided is individual specific, but a fair estimate for someone that works their Watkins business up to 10 hours per week regularly, week in and week out.

My main question to work from home job seekers is, “Why gamble on a start-up when you can join a company like Watkins with a proven track record, free training, great coaching and mentoring, and some of the greatest home, family and personal care products you’ll find anywhere?”  To demonstrate just how confident I am that Watkins offers the best home-based business opportunity in America, I’m willing to send you a custom-packed Watkins Business Evaluation Kit, along with my “no-pressure, no-obligation to join” guarantee.  All kits are shipped via Priority Mail within 24 hours and are valued at $25 each.    To order your free Watkins Business Evaluation Kit now, click here.
