year end

Well its seems like 2007 will be a record year for me, the start of my downline and the most customers I have had as a Waktins associate. My goals for 2008 will be to move up the ranks in the business signifcantly and to help alot more people launch their own home business. I will also launch my own website and try to move up the search engine ranks.
Thanks for reading, tom

Post christmas

Well how was your christmas? My ad in the whislter news magazine comes out today and I could use some new customers. Will keep you posted on that. Anybody making a new years resolution to to start their own business? Let me know and I will give you all the advice I can.

shopping done?

Hope everyone has there shopping done because I don't and the malls look like chaos. Did anyone do any online shopping for gifts this years? Seems like from my company newsletters that Watkins is having one of its best years yet. I hope you will consider becoming an associate in the new year or at least a wholesale shopper. This will probably be my last entry till after christmas.
Best wishes to all my readers, tom

BRIEFCASE STRIKES AGAIN!

Well seems like my briefcase stickers are getting me more business than anything else! Just minutes after opening my case in the mall someone walked up and asked for a catalogue because they just moved to vancouver and didn't have a watkins dealer, nice!
Update on the Whislter ad, seems they will run it on the 27th of this month, not a good day as one its after christmas and two, who has money left?

AHHH!!

Seems like the whistler paper forgot to post my ad , that kinda kills the response numbers! hopefully its in the next issue.

commments needed

Hi people hope your shopping is done. What I need for christmas is some feedback about my blog and my website, good or bad it all helps. I could use some comments on your experience with Watkins products as well. Merry christmas, tom

ad results

Well no results yet from the whistler newspaper ad and the two leads in the mall have yet to pan out, but its still early I guess. Trying to come up with a new website name to make for easier sign printing ,will let you know when I do decide. merry christmas!

RECORD WEEK!

Hey there just had a record week as far as inquiries and sales. I had two people ask for a catalogue in less than ten minutes simply because I had a Watkins sticker on my briefcase.
Sometimes the simplest form of marketing is the best. Have an ad coming out in a whislter newspapaer, we shall see how it goes.

Still Time!

If you are thinking out trying my products out I belive there is still time before christmas as they are shipped within five business days by courier. Hope you have prosperous week in all ways, tom

wow google adwords!

Man just got a second order in less than 41 hits total, got to be record for me. Anyone out there have similiar or better results let me know. Hope everyones sales are up! tom

google adwords

Hey there activated the google adwords campaign a few days back and already have a customer and a potetntial one with just under 30 hits. If you have the money it works although you have to be patient sometimes it took more than a 100 for me before someone bought something.

WATKINS AT THE TORONTO FILM FEST

Watkins was a big hit at the toronto film fest recently. Seems some of the gift bags celebs received were filled with watkins apothecary goods. Mena suvari in particular loved the lavender seh was given. Celebrity endorsement, nothing like it!

Blog for business

Just wanted to mention that a blog is a must for helping your online presence as far as networkmarketing is concerned. Ifi can do it believe me anyone can. Question has anyone had any success posting their own signs in their town in terms of boosting business for their network marketing company? let me know

Whistler!

Just got back from whistler what a great town , expensive but what a place to sell high ends goods. An accident turned a three hour trip into eight. have great week and make lots of sales will ya, tom

ABC NEWS PROFILES DIRECT SELLING!

ABC news recently profiled how direct sales can increase your home business income.

Some key points paraphrased were:

1. According to the Direct Selling Asscoiation last year there were more than 15 million in the U.S.
alone were in this type of business.

2. Almost 20 % of direct sellers make more than 20 thousand dollars a year.

3. Do something Daily. Those that reach the 20k a yr level contibute to their business daily.

4. Form a team. Those at the 20k+ level form teams of reps and train them to duplicate the
business, sponsoring is the key to increasing your income.

Well I hope that was helpful, Tom

holiday treats

I forgot to mention that we have a bunch of free recipes on the site and great ingredients for all you christmas baking!

Christmas Gifts

Hi there time for christmas shopping to start I guess. Well have you ever thought of giving someone a business for christmas? A membership in a network marketing company allows them access to wholesale prices all year long as well as sales only available to associates. If they want they can also earn extra money throughout the year if they have friends or family that want some items. Who knows they could turn it into a fulltime business and would have you to thank.
Take care and happy shopping

Sunshine baby

wow nothing like a sunny day to make you want to get out and make some money! to all my fellow marketers go get em and may today be the best day in a long time.
