Building for Long-Term Success

Building for Long-Term Success

How to Build a Strong Organization for Long-Term Success

· Understand, manage, and exceed the expectations that others have for their business. Don’t trade short-term gain for long-term wealth by inflating what’s possible. Let others know that they can expect to succeed if they are willing to do the work. Create the expectation of growth, not maintenance.

· Build strong relationships with all your team members – customers and team builders. You’ll see team builders remain committed to their goals, develop long-term customers who order each month, and see business builders emerge from your pool of loyal customers.

· Discover the needs and wants of each person you encounter. First seek to know what they want, then help them to get it. Some of the most successful leaders go so far as to maintain a profile of each new recruit, detailing personalities, desires, and personal information.

· Strive to help others get off to a fast start, which will help them withstand the onslaught of external negative force. Help each new team member develop three short stories: Why this company? Why these products? Why this business system?

· Study your retention data, which holds clues to how you can improve.

· Make a point to reward longtime customers and team builders to foster an environment of loyalty.

Watkins - Strength During Challenging Times

The following is a recent letter from Watkins president regarding Watkins and the economy.

In this time of great economic uncertainty, I wanted to encourage you to leverage all that Watkins offers to help make life a little bit better for everyone. Whether it's our natural comfort products or our opportunity to build a Watkins business, Watkins offers something that can positively impact everyone's lives during these challenging times.

Everyday we are bombarded with news of the great economic challenges before us. Although we are without question facing a serious global recession, we can all take comfort in the fact that Watkins products and business opportunity have stood the test of time. Throughout our incredible brand history, which has included many recessions, several World Wars, and the Great Depression, Watkins has remained relevant and strong. Even during this challenging year when consumers have been spending considerably less, Watkins' sales are on track to finish up approximately 15% over 2007, and our sponsoring of new Associates is up approximately 5%.

As was once said, "a crisis is a terrible thing to waste," and today's economic crisis is no exception. People from all walks of life are feeling financial pressures and are looking for ways to supplement their income. What better way is there to develop additional income than to start a Watkins business based on high value, high quality products that are timeless? Although today's consumers are spending less, recent data shows that the demand for natural and healthier products is continuing to rise even in this economy. More importantly, even though the consumer is cutting back on the bigger purchases, they still need to treat themselves to life's little necessities and indulgences, and they will still maintain the tradition of gift giving. Watkins offers all these at affordable prices. Also, the return to healthier cooking at home is pushing up demand for our organic spices and extracts, and we are seeing a substantial increase in these product lines.

As we all work with our friends and loved ones to manage our lives through these challenging economic times, we can take comfort in the enduring strength of Watkins. In our 140 year history, the world has faced countless obstacles considerably more challenging than today's economic uncertainty. Fortunately, with some freshly baked cookies made with Watkins Original Vanilla, along with a bit of Watkins Liniment to ease our aches and pains, and some Watkins Natural Hand Lotion to get us through winter, we can all get through these challenging economic times. Once the economy has settled down, which it will, we will be that much more thankful that Watkins helped us get through another challenging time in our history.

Million Dollar Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Carolyn Gurtz of Maryland recently won Pillsbury's annual million dollar prize for baking with her innovative peanut butter cookie recipe.This wonderful recipe that Carolyn calls her Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies, is described by Carolyn as "crunchy and sweet on the outside, creamy on the inside."

How does a peanut butter cookie become creamy on the inside while staying crunchy on the outside? Carolyn had a wonderful idea of wrapping Pillsbury's cookie dough around a ball of creamy peanut butter mixed with powdered sugar. The cookie is rolled in a mixture of granulated sugar, Watkins Cinnamon and chopped dry roasted peanuts before baking.

I recommend that you use Watkins Pure Ground Cinnamon with the sugar and peanuts when making the coating for the cookies. Watkins Pure Ground Cinnamon contains no foreign matter or fillers and has a minimum of 2% natural essential oil that gives it a wonderfully sweet flavor.

Million Dollar Peanut Butter Cookies

1/4 cup Fisher Dry Roasted peanuts, finely chopped
1/4 cup Domino or C&H Granulated Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Pure Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup JIF Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Domino or C&H Confectioners Powdered Sugar
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury Create 'n Bake refrigerated peanut butter cookies, well chilled

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In small bowl, mix chopped peanuts, granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In another small bowl, stir peanut butter and powdered sugar until completely blended. Shape mixture into 24 (1-inch) balls.
3. Cut roll of cookie dough into 12 slices. Cut each slice in half crosswise to make 24 pieces; flatten slightly. Shape 1 cookie dough piece around 1 peanut butter ball, covering completely. repeat with remaining dough and balls.
4. Roll each covered ball of cookie cough in peanut mixture; gently pat mixture completely onto balls. On ungreased large cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Spray bottom of drinking glass with Watkins Cooking spray; press into remaining peanut butter mixture. Flatten each ball to 1/2 inch thickness with bottom of glass. Sprinkle any remaining peanut mixture evenly on tops of cookies; gently press into dough.
5. Bake 7 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

I couldn't find Pillsbury Create 'n Bake refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough at my grocery store so I used homemade peanut butter cookie dough and the cookies tasted yummy!
