My question in the title of this post is not referring to whether Watkins Products are allowed to be sold in retail establishments, but whether the products actually sell when being sold in a retail environment.  The answer: probably, to some degree.  For the general consumer, who sees Watkins 6oz Black Pepper next to another black pepper, probably not.  Why?  Because Watkins costs more and when they don’t know the difference, they will choose lower priced.

That’s where Associates come in.  We are here to sell the product.  Not to peddle items that people wouldn’t normally buy, but to demonstrate the products and give the customer good reasons to buy.  We are here to answer objections.  We are here to offer insight.  In a retail environment, the product stands alone.  When you buy from an Associate, they can give you tips and recipes.  They can tell you what they like and what they don’t.  They can help the customer make a decision about which product they should try.  We are also the biggest advocate for our unconditional 100% money-back guarantee.  You don’t like an item, return it.  Heck, I’ll take it back fully used in a year.

Watkins Products are sold by Watkins Associates, who dearly love the products.  Watkins Products, and only a few, are offered in some grocery stores just to get the Watkins name out there.  But we are the ones who sell them.

Just wanted to share with you all that we were able to reach the top of the Summit Group list for personal sales for January 2012, and we achieved manager level. For February, we may even top those sales numbers and earn our $500 bonus. Wonder how we do it? Join our group and find out!

We also have some growing associates in our group that are doing very well. I am excited by your accomplishments!
