subject: Watkins Scam Review [print this page] Is Watkins a scam, or does Watkins offer a legitimate business opportunity for you and your family to participate in? I will be answering this key question in my Watkins review. First, a little background and history.
Joseph Ray Watkins established Watkins in 1868 in his very own kitchen. Watkins very quickly began expansion, and Joseph began opening branches in cities across America. They opened their very first international branch as early as 1913 in Winnipeg, Canada.
Watkins provides their customers with products related to natural gourmet, personal care, home care, recipes, and home remedies. Watkins offers these products through a large network of Watkins Consultants, representing the multi-level marketing business opportunity that they are well-known for.
The cost to become a Watkins Consultant is $39.95. For this price, you will receive very minimal literature and support. Watkins uses this enrollment price as a starting point, before you eventually upgrade via their three assortment packages. The prices for these three assortments are $69.95, $129, and $349, plus shipping and handling charges.
Watkins Consultants earn commissions on every product that they successfully sell on their behalf. As you begin to grow your business, and begin your recruiting efforts, you will participate in bonuses that will reward you for team building and leadership. Your membership with Watkins will also provide you with a 25% discount on all of your Watkins product purchases.
In my opinion, Watkins is a very legitimate company. This company has been operating and growing for more than 140 years, proving that they are far from being a scam. It will be important to remember that your success will be dependent upon your ability to prospect amongst your family and friends. These are the methods that you will be encouraged to utilize in building your business. With that being said, Watkins is a great company, and if someone was able to bring some marketing experience into their business, they could do very well.
As always, I wish you the best of luck in your search for a home based business for you and your family.
