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

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!

Watkins Products Gets Better With Age

J.R. Watkins products is 142 years old and hold many records of distinction, all very important to anyone considering starting a work from home business.  For, not only is Watkins one of the oldest home products companies in the world, it is truly the pioneer of what we refer to today as the “work from home enterprise.” 

Watkins products founder, J.R. Watkins, began selling his world famous Red Liniment from a wagon.  His success during the lumberjack days and timbering meca known as modern day Minnesota, was something legends are made from.  Founding the company in 1868 using his own home as a manufacturing base, Watkins business grew so quickly he realized he needed more marketers and salesmen to introduce his product.  Thus, was born the door-to-door salesman.

By 1895 Watkins had invented his most famous product of all, and still Watkins number one selling product — Watkins Double-Strength Vanilla Extract.  Business really took off after that as the Watkins products line grew immensely to include numerous seasonings, extracts, flavorings and spices for the cook in the household, home remedies for the rural population of America and Canada to treat themselves because doctor’s visits by horseback were “few and in-between,” and a whole host of outdoor products for the farm.

By 1914 Watkins had 1,000 work from home dealers selling its products.  Today’s modern day Watkins has a few things left over from the past.  First, many of the fine products that Watkins produced in the last century are still very popular sales items today.  Then too, there’s the beautiful Watkins offices and manufacturing plants that still stand and operate today in Winona, Minnesota.  There’s also the love and care that goes into producing every single one of Watkins extensive 350+ product line.

But most importantly, for today’s work from home entrepreneur, there’s many new ways to market Watkins products.  We no longer use the door-to-door business model for building a Watkins business.  Keeping up with the times, Watkins offers its associates an online store for taking orders over the Internet, customers can place orders directly with Watkins by calling their toll-free number and simply mentioning who their Watkins associate is and you, the associate, still gets credit for the sale.  Many associates like to market by distributing catalogs, while others build their business by conducting Watkins home parties or selling Watkins products at public events (i.e., craft shows, farmer’s markets, fairs, church festivals, trade shows, etc.).

Selling Watkins products is fun, easy and rewarding.  There are numerous things about Watkins that makes your road to success with Watkins fun.  The fact that Watkins is 142 years old and that people will actually seek you out to buy products is always exciting.  The fact that you’re selling products that are all-natural and good for the environment is not only a rewarding experience, but adds to the fun of knowing that as long as you lift and finger and make an effort, selling Watkins is easy.  And anytime earning income is easy, it adds to the fun and joy of doing it.

I remind my new Watkins associates all the time that their decision to join Watkins was a decision to start a part-time business.  And since they have no bosses and will be running their business part-time, I’ve learned from the wisdom of living on God’s green earth for a long time that if a part-time opportunity isn’t fun, you really won’t do it for very long.  I’ve discovered by running my own Watkins products business, that because Watkins is truly a fun-filled part-time business experience, anyone that will dedicate a few minutes of their time each day to their Watkins business will enjoy a degree or level of success.

Now don’t get me wrong,  those who work the hardest are rewarded the most, just like in all walks of life.  But if one works diligently and contributes 8 to 10 hours a week, every week, to their Watkins products business, one can build a highly successful Watkins business over a few short years.  If you want to build a successful Watkins business in months, rather than years, then you’ll need a good sponsor that can teach you the best methods for earning significant cash from your Watkins business early-on, and then dedicate part-time effort to your business either daily, or giving it several good hours of your time on weekends.

When a new Watkins associate signs up under me and says, “I want to build a Watkins products business, how do I do it?” . . . the first question I ask is “How do you see yourself building a Watkins business?  After listening to their answer I then ask them about their past work experience, talents, attributes, etc. and determine if the way they see themselves building a Watkins business matches their personality and experience.  For there are so many ways to build a successful Watkins business, I can often point them to a way that better fits their time schedule, talents and experience level, that will prove to be more fun and rewarding than the method(s) they’re thinking about using.

I myself and building a highly successful Watkins business online, so I get a lot of new Watkins associates that join because they want to market Watkins online.  But I teach multiple means and ways to build a successful Watkins business and try my best to match the person with the method or methods that will optimize their success and earnings levels in Watkins.  This is extremely important, because many people who want to market online have somehow come to the conclusion that marketing online is instantly rewarding and the easiest form of marketing. 

Although I’ve been marketing online for almost 14 years, I never try to mislead someone into thinking it’s instantly rewarding, easy and will not take much of their time.  Doing so would be false advertising, for successful online marketing requires patience to get your websites in the search engines, which only comes with time and plenty of content.   Content you develop, content you write, unique content that you pen and don’t copy from someone else, for copying and pasting content is the quickest way to get kicked out of the search engines.  Since most people don’t like to write, many who say they want to be an online marketer quickly find out they don’t have what it takes to succeed online.

Picking the right sponsor for you, one who enjoys mentoring and coaching, answering your questions and providing tips all the time, is a very important ingredient of the success formula for building a successful Watkins products business.  Depsite your knowledge and IQ level, an old pro that’s been around a while and enjoys teaching others can always provide advise and tips that will shorten your road to success.  But from the very start, the quickest way to shorten your road to success with Watkins is to have a sponsor that will help you put together a business plan and marketing method(s) that are best suited for your personality, skillsets and experience.  Doing so from the start will result in higher earnings, quicker success and most importantly — a much more fun-filled ride to the top!
