Our Power Team Approaches 100 Consultants
What is driving our numbers higher? It’s more than just the low $19.95 Watkins membership fee.

Through the months of August and September, Watkins has cut the normal $39.95 fee to join in half. Certainly, this has helped encourage others to take advantage of the Watkins business opportunity, considered one of the country’s best at-home, part-time ventures by Entrepreneur Magazine.   But we credit the rise in our numbers to much more.
The very idea of our All Natural Country Store is built on the long-established reputation established by the Watkins Company for producing high quality, natural products during its nearly a century and a half of existence. Couple that with the company’s efforts to continually reformulate its products to be the best on the market, at a reasonable price. That’s why we built our website around the look of an old-time country store that offers natural products to the public.
We also offer our new consultants some benefits not given by other managers. That website provides an area known as the Consultant’s Corner that is restricted to those who have joined our team. In addition, we created a Facebook private group where members of what we dubbed the Watkins Power Team can exchange ideas, seek advice and report successful endeavors that have helped build their business.

Because of these resources, plus the low membership fee, some of the members of the Power Team have started to build their own team of consultants, who further add to the monthly income of their sponsor. If you wish to know more about Watkins and the advantages of joining our team while the discounted membership continues through the rest of September, give us a call at 888-881-7272.

Join our Watkins Power Team for Just $19.95
We thought the Membership Discount came to an end in August, but Watkins decided to extend  its half-price offer another month.

Let’s face it. Start-up fees have kept you from launching your own part-time, home-based business.  Then along comes an opportunity to try your wings for just $19.95. How can you not give it a try? After all, this special offer is 100% guaranteed. If you feel it’s not for you within 30 days, just let the managers of the All Natural Country Store know, and we will get your money refunded.
Why should you become involved in a solid company nearly a century and a half old? This All American enterprise has built a solid reputation of producing quality, natural products. These are various gourmet foods, body care, home care and apothecary products that people buy every day from their grocery or drug store. Many of them contain ingredients that are not good for your family or the environment. Can you imagine becoming part of the all-natural movement, and helping the environment at the same time? The fact that you are selling real products and not just recruiting associates under you means this is not a pyramid scheme.
You can sell these products to associates and friends at the retail price while you purchase these products at a discount, and through proper planning, get them delivered to your front door with no shipping costs to you. No need to carry a large inventory unless you want to set up a display of Watkins products for sale at public events. More and more Watkins consultants are selling products through their own Watkins websites. You can receive a discount on every product based on the volume of your sales every month.
Want to learn more about this special opportunity? Check out the following link. http://www.RespectedHomeBusiness.com/383372. Just spend a few minutes exploring  the Watkins Business Opportunity. It will be time well spent.

Take Advantage of Watkins Product Discounts
Every month, Watkins offers a number of discounted products at very low prices.

Already, Watkins has a large assortment of products that you purchase every week, and at prices comparable to what customers are paying for some of the leading brands of pharmaceuticals, gourmet foods, body care and home care.  However, many individuals are not aware that every month there are a number of products that have been reduced in price that offer customers savings on Watkins natural-based products. Those products also carry the famous money-back guarantee.
Here’s how to find those products. Click on the link:
At the top of the page, you’ll see the headline, “Shop With Us.” Go to the drop down menu and you will see a headline at the far right, “Other Ways to Shop.” Below that is the category, “View Monthly Specials.” Click on it, and you will be taken to the page that shows the specials for that month. Click on the picture of the product you are interested in, and a full description will appear. Type in the quantity you would like to order, and then “Add to Cart.” Once finished shopping, click on your shopping cart, and go to “Check Out.” You will be taken to a page where you will add your personal information, including your home address where you would like your products delivered. They are shipped UPS from the Watkins production plant, and will arrive at your front door in about a week.

By following this process, you will be placing your order through the Watkins All Natural Country Store. We value your business, and hope by shopping through us you will have a pleasant experience. Should you have any difficulty placing your order through the above process, just give us a call at our toll-free number, 888-881-7372. We can walk you through the steps, and place the order for you.

August is the Month to Take the Plunge
The $39.95 Watkins membership fee has been reduced to $19.95!



But as they say, this is a limited-time opportunity. Next month, the cost of membership will go back up to the normal $39.95 price. Never has there been a better time to start your own part-time, home-based Watkins business. While other companies demand hundreds of dollars in start-up fees, Watkins leaders realize that when people are looking for an additional source of income, they don’t want to throw away their hard-earned money on something they know nothing about. 

So what does $19.95 buy you with Watkins? To start, you receive a 25% discount on more than 250 products that Watkins produces. These are products people use every day. They are also paying a much higher price for them than they would through Watkins. Here’s your opportunity to purchase products at wholesale, and then sell them at retail. Before you know it, you are in business for yourself!
For many of you who follow this blog, you already know that Watkins is a 146-year-old company that has grown from a medical enterprise focused on apothecary products to an expanded operation that also produces top quality gourmet foods, home care and home care items. Through generations, these products have been continually reformulated to become better tasting and more effective. This emphasis on quality has propelled Watkins into one of the leading companies in the world dedicated to producing all natural products.

This is where you come in. Just imagine building your own business on the strength of a company with a recognized quality brand. From the very beginning, Watkins was sold door-to-door by men and women out to make a profit for their families. As such, Watkins began this country’s first direct-marketing company. While this method of selling eliminates the middle man, so to speak, the lack of national media exposure has produced an opportunity for entrepreneurs to use the Internet to promote their own home-based Watkins company.
Who better to tell people about the Watkins business opportunity than those who have built their own successful enterprises? They have done so at the following site: http://www.RespectedHomeBusiness.com/383372.

Again, this special half-off promotion only lasts until the end of August. Never has it been easier to begin a business with an organization singled out as one of the best home-based opportunities by Entrepreneur Magazine. If you have any questions after checking out the above site, or have difficulty taking advantage of this opportunity through the site, call us at 888-881-7372. We're here to help. As we like to say, with Watkins you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

You Can Do What We Do
A special website has just been created that presents the Watkins business opportunity in a whole new light.
One of the earliest JR Watkins Country Stores


We’re sure you have been wondering whether you are cut out to establish your own online country store. We know the usual first reaction to such a suggestion. I don’t have enough money to get started. My family and friends will call it a pyramid scheme. I don’t have the time with my busy schedule and full-time position.
Relax. We aren’t asking you to jump feet first into such an endeavor. We just ask you to explore the possibilities, no strings attached. Here’s how to find out more. Just go to the website RespectedHomeBusiness.com/383372.
You will immediately be taken to this new website, created by the top Watkins executives, many of whom got started in this business thinking they were just interested in selling JR Watkins products to friends and family. Then something happened. Their inner circle started telling their friends and co-workers about the great all-natural products available through their friend, and a home business was born. Today, many of these Watkins executives have stepped out of the grinding 9-to-5 rat race, and are devoting 100% of their energies to their Watkins home business. On this site, they are sharing their trade secrets, based on many years with Watkins. Yes, in addition to selling products, these executives have built a network of consultants under them, who share their enthusiasm for the 146-year-old company brand. Many of them enjoy a six-figure income as a result.
It’s hard to imagine that a basic annual membership fee of $39.95 can get you started. Then you can begin purchasing Watkins products at wholesale – a 25% discount off the retail price. For beginners, there is the opportunity of purchasing an assortment of Watkins products at 35% off the retail price. It creates a solid foundation for your business.
We’ve gone on far too long in this blog posting. Once again, go to RespectedHomeBusiness.com/383372 to see an easy-to-navigate site that will present this opportunity in a whole new way. You’ll be glad you took a few minutes of your time to check out the site.

The Land We Love
We are truly blessed with a number of freedoms in this great country.
A group of our friends were making plans for the big Fourth of July holiday when someone asked, “What does freedom mean to you?”
We looked around at each other, and finally someone said, “It’s really all summed up in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.” That may be true, but freedom means so much more to those of us who run our own home-based businesses. That’s not possible in a number of countries.
We are fortunate that the J.R. Watkins company has such a strong history in America. J. R. Watkins was a wise man. Not only did he create a company that has been around since 1868, he realized that people will most likely buy a product if they hear about it from a friend, or tasted it in their friend’s home. He also realized that rather than pay for expensive advertising and marketing, or pay a store owner a commission to sell his products, friends could tell their friends about Watkins and earn that commission themselves. America’s first direct-sales company was born.
Watkins also stood behind his products, and offered the country’s first money-back guarantee. Today, you will see a line on bottles and jars that indicate customers should use the product until the contents reach that level. If customers are not satisfied for any reason, they will be refunded their full purchase price. Just imagine how easy it is to sell products with that kind of guarantee behind them!
While Watkins searched the globe to find the most natural ingredients for his products, he never swayed from his “Made in America” belief. All Watkins products are manufactured in the company’s production facility in Winona, Minnesota. All workers are either U.S. citizens or Canadians.

The company’s greatest period of growth came in the Great Depression, when numerous Americans lost their jobs, and couldn’t find another place to work. That’s when more and more individuals realized they could go to work for themselves in selling Watkins products to friends and neighbors. Slowly, the country began the long journey to recovery. So today of all days, we salute American enterprise, and the many freedoms we all enjoy. Happy Fourth of July.

All Natural Country Store Managers Highlighted in Watkins All Star Newsletter
All Star Members Alan Lukes and David Gurzenski tell about their success in Watkins.
We hate to toot our own horn, but last month we were asked by Watkins Direct Selling Support Manager Rhonda Hanson to write an article about our nine years as Watkins managers, based in Big Bear Lake, CA. We thought readers of our blog might be interested in knowing a little bit more about us. Here’s what we wrote:
Each year since we joined Watkins in 2009, we have been able to increase our sales volume and recruiting numbers. It’s all based on an Excel spreadsheet that has been created to show us at a glance how we did on a monthly basis in the previous year, and how we are progressing in the current year.
While we began primarily focused on public events, we have expanded our outreach through Internet marketing. In the past year, we have built a website that further expands upon our business, the All Natural Country Store. Previously known as the Big Bear Country Store, the name change was necessary because our customers and Consultants are now scattered from coast to coast and throughout Canada. Visitors to the site can request a catalog or further information about the business opportunity. There also is a directory of our Consultants for individuals looking for a Watkins representative close to home.
A special feature of the website is a private Consultant’s Corner, where our recruits can access a number of training tools to help them build their business. Another exclusive service we offer is a closed Facebook group page where our consultants can exchange ideas, pose questions and request special assistance. We also have created a Facebook business page for the All Natural Country Store. This is in addition to a blog that can be accessed through the website.
We continue to have weekly training meetings with our local Consultants, and make a point of explaining the training assistance we offer to new recruits across the country. We carefully guide them through the System for Success, and establish weekly sessions to track their progress if they so desire.
Alan Lukes & David Gurzenski join Carmen Mir
from the Watkins Corporate team in Hawaii
A new training tool we introduced this year is a Welcome Packet that contains an assortment of tools for our recruits. In addition to summaries of the various Watkins programs, we have developed special templates for a Wholesale Shopping Club brochure and a Grand Opening invitation to launch a new Watkins business.

There are a number of highlights in our Watkins career, certainly becoming managers in our first three months with the organization, making the All Star Team that first year and every year since, and being part of Grand Trip Getaways. But the greatest highlight for us has been the many friendships we have made along the way, including those with our direct manager Tracey Palmer, silver manager Melody Thacker, and our team’s executive Bonnie Campbell. We also consider Carmen Mir a good friend, and the customer service representatives in the corporate office, who have come to recognize the sound of our voice because of our frequent calls. We have to emphasize Bonnie in particular. She has inspired us to be the best that we can be, and made us feel we had the right stuff to excel in our Watkins business.
