You Must Know Why You Want Success

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on May 12th, 2007
You've started a new network marketing or MLM business. You have told yourself, and others, that you want to be successful. You may have defined "success" in terms of dollars earned, or by achievement of a special goal, such as leaving your regular job and working from home. Whatever "success" means to you, there is one thing you must know before you can achieve it. You must decide why you want success. Surprisingly, many people start a home based business with a desire to be successful without really knowing the "why". You need to know. If you have defined "success" as earning $2000 per month from home, why do you want to do this? What specific reason? If "success" to you ...

Getting Started with Network Marketing…Someday…

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on May 9th, 2007
Have you purchased startup materials for a network marketing opportunity in the last few weeks, but not yet made the move to get started? I find that this is all too common - I see it happen to new associates in Watkins, and other home businesses as well. The problem, I believe, is that people get really excited about starting a business but then delay that start for various reasons. Sometime it is a fear of failure. Other times, it is a result of procrastination, of waiting for "the right time" to make a move. Something to consider - you cannot wait for life and circumstances to be just right for you to start and build your business. Many new associates ...

The Watkins Products Opportunity

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on May 7th, 2007
I was speaking with a potential new Watkins associate tonight. They asked a question that I hear often - "what makes Watkins different from any other home based business?" The answers to this question could fill far more than this page.

If you enjoy home parties and direct selling, we have you covered with our Good Tastings program. Whether you choose to build your business with parties, or one of the many other possible ways, our network marketing compensation ...

Network Marketing - Always About People

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on May 5th, 2007
Network marketing, always and forever, will be a people business. Some will say, it is just a numbers game where you throw enough mud against the wall and hope some will stick. Some “recruiter types” view the business that way, and simply discard prospects who don’t sign up immediately, or who ask for “too much information”. This is not the way to build a long-lasting and profitable network marketing business. People are not numbers – they are humans who have dreams and desires just like you do. Your job is to help them achieve the level of success they desire with their business. Some will desire just a part-time commitment and income to match. Others will shoot for a full-time business ...

Network Marketing Promotion with Links

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on May 3rd, 2007
If you promote a network marketing business through your own web site, you have probably heard of "reciprocal linking" as a strategy for increasing visibility and sales. Trading links can be a very profitable strategy if you do it correctly. I built the popularity of my Watkins home business site, after its launch five years ago, by exchanging links with other relevant web sites. These links pages often show up in search engine inquiries, and if your link is there, you get free exposure. Quality links can also help increase your site's ranking in search inquiries. If you choose to get into reciprocal linking, there are a couple of key things to remember. 1) Exchange links only with sites related to your ...

Watkins Steak Sauce - Best Kept Secret!

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on May 2nd, 2007
One of the best kept secrets in fine cuisine is Watkins Steak Sauce! This sauce combines the best attributes of A-1 and Heinz 57 in a formula that will be preferred by consumers of both. Watkins Steak Sauce adds a delicious, spicy, tangy flavor to roasts, stews, gravies, marinades, BBQ sauces, and much more. This versatile sauce is also excellent on hamburgers, fries, and poultry. GQ Magazine selected Watkins Steak Sauce as one of the best! GQ writes: “The purpose of steak sauce is to help you eat more steak, not to match its smoky-charred goodness or mask it with peppery counterpoint. Cleanse the palate, tease the mouth a little, and make way for more. “Watkins Steak Sauce: A tart little sauce, slightly ...

Work Hard for Home Business Success

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on April 29th, 2007
I was reading an e-book this afternoon on the subject of succeeding in business, particularly a home-based business such as Watkins. The author made reference to the fact that many people starting a home business are looking for a quick and easy way to start making money. He pointed out that many of the activities required to make money take time and a lot of effort (building a prospect base, developing retail customers, establishing a web presence if you are doing something online, and so on). Unfortunately, I have found many new home business builders are guilty of this. Many folks are looking for a "magic method" or shortcut to building their business. I will admit, I have been guilty ...

Work Your Network Marketing Business Today

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on April 27th, 2007
Success in network marketing comes by working your business each day. Too many times, network marketers fall prey to procrastination and tell themselves "I will work on this tomorrow, when I have more time". Tomorrow. What exactly is tomorrow? Does tomorrow actually ever arrive? We can use tomorrow in different ways. Some people live in the world today and when they wake up the next day, it’s another “today”. Some people have hopes for tomorrow but don’t live in the today and do anything to improve their tomorrow. If our ambition is to build a significant, long-lasting residual income through network marketing, it is necessary for us to do something to build our business each day. This can be something as simple ...

Different Perspective on the Watkins Business

Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on April 25th, 2007
Yesterday, I received an email from a prospective Watkins associate. This prospect faces physical challenges, and was concerned about whether she had the ability to build a Watkins business. I am posting my reply here, because I believe a lot of potential business builders wonder about these same issues. I have removed some details to protect privacy. Hello Prospect, Thanks for writing and explaining your current situation. I know that your physical challenges are not easy to deal with. I admire your strength and courage for continuing to work with these challenges. Watkins probably does sound too good to be true - but it isn't. What is different with Watkins, as opposed to typical business opportunity pitches you'll hear, is that we tell ...
