High Tech, High Touch

Howdy y'all,

Who doesn't want a bunch of free stuff? (I have a friend who says he'd take a spitting cobra if it was free.) I'm not going to give you a spitting cobra, though. For that matter, I'm not going to give my friend a spitting cobra either. But would you say no to a whole pile of free products from Watkins?

Through the end of November, Watkins is really going all out for party hosts. Simply host a Good Tastings event...that's it. If your Good Tastings event generates more than $500 in sales, you'll get an amazing 30% of the value of your event in free Watkins goodies. That's $150 worth of free Watkins products (and a Good Tastings cookbook) just for doing a Good Tastings event.

But you're not where I am, so how can I come and do a party? It's not a problem. Make it a catalog party. Simply show the Watkins catalog (which I will provide) to your friends, family, and coworkers and take orders over the space of a couple weeks. Submit the order forms (which I will provide) along with payments to me, and I'll submit the orders. Orders will be sent to you for distribution to the friends and family who participated, and you'll get your free stufff as well. It couldn't be easier!

So how 'bout it? Host a party for me (even a catalog party), and get lots of free stuff. Or, why not join my team and put some extra jingle in your pocket instead? Hey, for a limited time, you can do both! If you start a catalog party by September the 9th and get $350 in orders, I will buy your Watkins starter kit! (And you'll still get 10% of your party total in free stuff for an event of as little as $150 in sales.) This, though, is a limited time offer from me (not from other associates!) and that will end on September the 9th! So, act now! Acting now gets you:
* Free stuff
* Paid into a Watkins business, in which you can pretty much do what you've already done :) (and even if that isn't your thing, you still get a 25% discount on all future purchases!) And if you really don't want a 25% discount on your Watkins purchases and really don't want to be an associate, you can have a $50 gift certificate instead.)

If you wanna play, get in touch with me via any of the contact information below. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | Work from home the Watkins way!

Welcome To Watkins!

    I'd like to welcome you to this free newsletter and thank you for sharing a few minutes of your day with me. I hope that you've had a great summer! It's been fantastic here--beautiful weather, and it hasn't gotten too hot. Of course, in Erie, PA, it never does. (Of course, coming from Texas, I guess I'd say so, right?) 

    I'm glad to be your Watkins associate. You may have heard of Watkins. Maybe you, or your parents or grandparents have used our products. Maybe you're unfamiliar with our company, products, and long-standing reputation for quality and value. Whether Watkins is a familiar and trusted name to you or we are new to you, I am happy to provide you with unparalleled service, and I know you will be delighted with our line of quality products for your home, kitchen, and personal needs. You will find a complete price list attached to this newsletter. I will also be happy to share our catalog with you, as well as our monthly Highlights catalog. Please ask me about our special, limited holiday items, available through the end of this year. You'll find more information about these very popular gift items and special edition products later in this newsletter. I look forward to doing business with you and bringing you the great value that Watkins has represented for more than 135 years. Please contact me if I can be of service!

Do you want free stuff?

    As Watkins has done throughout its history, I am expanding my business one person at a time. I aim to provide the personal touch: when you think of Watkins' quality, you will know that there's a real person ready, willing, and able to serve. Can you help? 

    You are undoubtedly familiar with party plan companies: someone hosts a party, gets friends together for snacks and a relaxing evening, and experiences some company's product line. Can you help me out? 

    Of course, I can't do a party complete with snacks and a live presentation where you are, unless you happen to be some sort of reasonable distance from where I am, but that's OK. Could you host a catalog party? Here's how it works: You show our catalog to your local friends and family and coworkers, take orders, and pass them off to me. I arrange for the orders to be sent to you, and everyone gets their stuff from you. For your trouble, you'll get lots of free Watkins products--and a Good Tastings cookbook. Just how much free stuff, and how long do you pass the catalog and take orders? Well, you can take a couple weeks if you like. Longer than that is probably not practical, since people will want their orders eventually. If you get orders of between $150 and $499, you'll get 10% of your order total in free stuff. But if you get a$500 in orders for any catalog show through the end of November, you'll get 30% of your show total in free Watkins products--that's at least $150 in free stuff for you! You may have made your holiday baking or gift giving a lot easier. If you're interested, call or Email me, and we'll get your catalog Good Tastings event set up!

Thanks for Your Order!
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed

I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to serve you. You’ll enjoy using Watkins products as you prepare better-tasting meals, improve your family’s health, and make your home more pleasant. To order, you can call or email. You can also order and browse our catalog online at http://www.watkinsonline.com (please use associate ID 361534 when you order).

Did you know that Watkins is credited with creating the first ever money-back guarantee? It was way back in 1868, on the Red Liniment. Of course, today, that still applies. So, if any Watkins product doesn’t meet your expectations, just call me and I’ll get your choice of a prompt refund or replacement. 

For example, let’s say you order half-a-dozen different flavors of our fabulous Snack & Dip Mix, but end up not being crazy about the taste of one or two. No problem. The company is fantastic about making good on the unconditional guarantee, so you can try any product confidently. Just let me know.

Someone You Know Would Love Earning Income With Watkins 

I’m building my Watkins business almost completely by referrals. And I’d sincerely appreciate any help you can give me. 

We have a HUGE shortage of Watkins associates in every part of the U.S. and Canada. Our goal is to have enough active, part-time Watkins associates so that every family in North America is offered Watkins products at least every month or two. But, the most-recent statistics indicate we’re only reaching one family out of every 250. Vast numbers of people remember the quality of Watkins from years ago, but don’t know how to get the products today. Many people don’t know the company is still in business. And, there are entire generations who we’ve yet to introduce to the wonders of Watkins. So, I need your help in finding new associates. 

Who comes to your mind as someone who’d like to earn income on a totally flexible schedule and with absolutely no required commitments? 

And, don’t just limit your brainstorming only to people who are having deep financial challenges right now. Certainly, becoming a Watkins associate could help that kind of person, but some of our most-successful associates are people who are “doing alright, but just want a much brighter future.” 

For example, do you know young parents who need more flexibility for their families? What about retirees who are fed up with living on a fixed income? Someone who’s making ends meet but could sure use a few extra dollars each month? Or, someone who’d love to develop a solid income as their own boss in the next several years, so they could escape from a job or career that has them burned out and frustrated? 

Just mention to those people that they may want to think about joining my Watkins team. Full details about the business are on my website: 

Tell them to visit www.tastybiz.com. Or, they can call me and I’ll mail them a free packet of information, with a catalog, product samples, and business details.

By the way, there’s a reason I feel so confident about helping people get started as Watkins associates. It’s because associates who join my team will, like me, be part of the Summit Group, which is a group of Watkins leaders that provides free training and support for members of their teams. There’s an extensive training website, a Message Board where associates can ask questions ‘round the clock, and much more. My informational website mentioned above was completely set up for me for free by the Summit Group. They even created the template for this newsletter so that even new associates can put forth a professional presence from their first day without having to become experts on lots of details first. 

Watkins is a great business. I hope you’ll help your friends and relatives by sending them my way. 

Sincerely, 

Buddy Brannan
