About The Summit Group with Watkins!

The Summit Group is the largest, most award-winning team of independent work-from-home business people who represent the Watkins company. Our associates use this site for 24/7 access to free training, free business tools, and free coaching that helps them maximize their income.

If you're considering earning income as a Watkins associate, be absolutely positive that your sponsor (the person you join under) is already a Summit Group associate. If you choose to join under a Watkins associate who is not a member of our Summit Group team, we are prohibited by company policy from ever allowing you access to our training and support.

History of the Summit Group

The Summit Group was founded in 1990 by Ginny & Steve Bretzke, a couple experienced in the Network Marketing and Direct Selling industries. After years of searching for the perfect home-based business, they discovered Watkins, a quiet yet solid company with more than 100 years of providing high quality products for home and health. The Bretzkes have since helped thousands of individuals create a better life for themselves and their families with the flexible schedule and ongoing residual income that this kind of business offers.

The Bretzkes started off just like all new associates, with no other members on their team. Because of their knowledge and expertise, however, their Summit Group team has blossomed into the quickest growing, largest, and most-award winning team in all of Watkins. Besides solid incomes, successful Summit Group team members have received recognition at the annual Watkins conference and have earned free travel to all parts of the world.

Facts about Watkins and the Summit Group

• You can create a better life for yourself and your family by joining the Summit Group and starting your own Watkins business.
• This business can allow you to have a perfect income that won't interfere with your family, your current job, your social life, or any of your other priorities.
• One thing that helps the Summit Group stand out head and shoulders above other Watkins teams is our exclusive 9-4-1 materials. These free tools can help you build an ongoing monthly income through team-building and personal use of the products—with no selling required (you aren't required to focus on the traditional business method of retailing products to customers).
• Almost anything you want to achieve is possible. People from all walks of life, all ages, and all types of background experience have benefited from this business.
• Watkins is perfect for those people who need a second source of income during these tough economic times. The Watkins business gives you the flexibility for your family and other priorities... and you can never get that if you're trying to work a second part-time hourly job where a boss designs a schedule that requires you to clock-in late nights and weekends.
• Our team is made of up stay-at-home parents, retirees, college students, and many people working full-time careers who just need a little extra (including people with backgrounds in teaching, engineering, marketing, insurance, computer programming, automotive repair, restaurant and food service, music, construction, and virtually every other career imaginable). Regardless of your background, you'll be a welcome member of our team, and you can succeed.
• Watkins is a solid company with over 140 years providing superior products used in homes across North America, which means it's a strong company to be affiliated with today, and it will be around for years to come to provide you with a long-term, reliable income opportunity.
• The Summit Group is an organization of thousands of associates across the United States and Canada. These are friendly, family-oriented people who help others learn the benefit of the Watkins products and business.
• Summit Group associates use the Watkins business opportunity as the vehicle that allows them to move toward their goals of having fun, helping friends, creating wealth, and reaching dreams.
• You have total flexibility. There are no ongoing requirements. You control how you build your business and can change your involvement level at any time. You choose your business strategies based on your personal goals and what feels most comfortable for you.
• The primary role of associates is to spread the word about the quality, value, and beneficial aspects of the Watkins business and products. You can communicate with people yourself, or establish a group of other associates who can help you communicate with many more people than you could alone.
• Our top-earning associates work primarily from home, by phone and computer. They are on a totally flexible schedule that they choose. They can change their involvement level at any time, to fit around the needs of their family, without fear of being pressured or shunned. They simply use the Watkins products that make sense for them, and they always get the associate's discount of at least 25% off, so it saves them lots of money over buying similar products weekly at their local grocery store. Then they use the computer and phone to build a team of associates who do the same. In a nutshell, it's really that simple.
• Establishing your own group of associates in that manner can help you create residual income, which means you can earn ongoing income month-after-month, even when you choose not to work. It gives you total flexibilty.
• The compensation plan with Watkins is excellent.
• If you focus on the a strategy of team building and personal use, you'll typically earn between about 5% to 10% of the volume generated by your group as residual/bonus income. Average annual incomes for mid- to high-level leaders, most of whom work part-time, range from $16,562 to $236,124 (in U.S. dollars), with some individuals earning much more.
• Although you're never required to focus on traditional retailing activities, we realize that some associates enjoy and prefer activities such as catalog sharing (gathering order from friends, family, or co-workers, kind of like an Avon representative), presenting Watkins Good Tastings parties (similar to a Tupperware or Tastefully Simple party plan business), booth sales (such as at church bazaars, county fairs, and trade shows), or online retailing. If you choose to use any of those optional retailing methods, you can easily and immediately begin earning from 25% and 39% of the retail price as your profits on your customer's orders.
• Even as a brand new associate, you can immediately profit from either the Team Building approach or the traditional Retailing model.
• For team builders, there's a new Watkinize Your Home bonus program and other incentives, including cash bonuses and all-expense-paid trips to exotic locations.
• Three areas of support come together for you: 1) Watkins is there with great products, order processing, and computer systems; 2) The Summit Group's associates and leaders are available to encourage you and provide assistance; and 3) the Summit Group's business tools and systems give you proven business building methods you can easily duplicate.
• You'll receive plenty of encouragement and recognition from other Summit Group associates who want to help you succeed.
• You don't need previous experience. The Summit Group provides excellent training and support.
• The initial investment is not a burden.
• Realize that you're starting your OWN business as a Watkins associate (not getting a job as an employee)... and being a "business owner" can get many benefits (that you'd never get if you tried to supplement your income with a part-time hourly job as an employee) . For example, as a member of our Watkins team, you'll reap the rewards for your efforts, rather than having a boss or employer get credit for your hard work. Also, you won't be relying on some bosses' opinion of whether you deserve a raise and how much—your efforts and results determine your income with Watkins. Your income is unlimited—as you achieve more success, your income checks can continue to increase indefinitely. And, of course, you can get tax breaks that are only available to business owners.
• Watkins was the first company of any kind to offer a money-back guarantee, back in 1868. Today, all Watkins products are fully guaranteed, even your membership package.
• Watkins is a company that offers environmentally-friendly and health conscious products: USDA certified 100% organic spices, natural seasoning blends, all-natural gourmet grapeseed oils for cooking, natural personal care and facial care items, natural plant-based home care and cleaning products, and earth-friendly high-performance laundry detergent.
• The company is most famous for high-quality, reasonably priced gourmet foods like Watkins Vanilla, Watkins Black Pepper, and Watkins Cinnamon. These let people cook great-tasting meals at home on a budget.
• Also, the company's home remedies have been favorites for years, including Watkins Petro Carbo Salve, Watkins Menthol Camphor Ointment in the U.S. (called Medicated Ointment in Canada), Watkins Red Liniment, Watkins White Cream Liniment, and a whole line of complementary dietary supplements and vitamins.
• Personal care items are popular, too, including hand and body lotions, shampoo, and more.
• These are the kinds of products that virtually all families buy and use in the homes every month. Why not become a Watkins associate on our Summit Group team... you'll get the associate's discount of at least 25% off everything you purchase for your own use... and if you simply choose to help spread the word to others who do the same, it can create significant extra income for you.
• It's easy to get started by phone or online. Just contact a Watkins associate on the Summit Group team for details...
• Important: Again, when you are getting ready to join... ask and be positive BEFORE you join that the associate you are joining under is part of the Summit Group, otherwise you will never be able to get support, training, or encouragement from our team.

With Standing the Test of Time

For more than 140 years, Watkins, Incorporated has been America’s pioneer in natural living, utilizing only the finest natural ingredients.

Watkins provides quality brands to meet consumer’s needs for environmentally friendly and sustainable products — to help people feel better and live healthy lives. Lotions, pain-relieving liniment, organic spices and eco-friendly home cleaning products – all of it made by experts at Watkins who care about the decisions consumers have to make about everyday products, every day. In 2008, Watkins launched several new lines in the home care, home remedy, bath and body and gourmet pantry and food categories.

Organic. Natural. What’s the Difference?

Why Care? And, Why Watkins?

When referring to products as natural or all-natural, generally the product does not contain artificial or synthetic material and has sustained very minimal processing. Organic on the other hand signifies the way a product is actually grown and processed.

Organically grown products are farmed using only natural processing methods, free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. For a product to be labeled organic, it must pass a certification process, with national standards set forth by The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Whether domestic or international, individual farms and manufacturing facilities are supervised by USDA agencies that carefully scrutinize each step before passing certification.

Trends in America today show the consumer’s demand for natural and organic products is on the rise. According to the Organic Trade Association, sales in the organic category will increase 18 percent annually through 2008. Mainstream supermarkets are expanding their natural and organic selections to include fruits, vegetables, meat, and poultry to accommodate this growing need.

It is clear consumers are looking for ways to introduce more natural, healthy and organic products into their lifestyles. Consumers take more time to educate themselves on what they put into or on their bodies.

And as many are now looking to add organic foods to their daily meals, often times they find organics to be costlier than traditional foods. Watkins offers a full line of spices at every day prices to add to that effort. Giving the consumer the comfort of adding organics to their diet, without denting their pocket book.

But gourmet pantry items are just one aspect. Household products are one of the largest contributors of health problems in homes. Cleaners containing ammonia, chlorine and other chemical ingredients have been known to cause respiratory irritation. In North America, one in three people suffer from allergies, asthma, sinusitis or bronchitis (US National Center for Health Statistics).

Today, the new J.R. Watkins Natural Cleaning Products feature non-toxic plant-based formulas that are both biodegradable and phosphate free. These ultra concentrated cleaners are naturally derived so they are easy on the environment, your home and your loved ones. Here’s our brand commitment:

• Ammonia Free
• Animal Ingredient Free
• Boron Free
• Butyl/Ethyl Free
• Chlorine Free
• Diethylene Ether Free
• Dye Free
• Formaldehyde Free
• Isopropanol Free
• Kerosene Free

• Benzene Free
• Biodegradable
• Mineral Spirit Free
• Non-toxic
• Petrochemical Free
• Phosphate Free
• Phosphoric Acid Free
• Propylene Glycol Free
• SLS Free
• Sulfuric Acid Free

Similarly, Watkins is dedicated to providing personal care that is truly natural. Watkins’ formulas are 95% natural and above, with many at 99% natural and higher. Using renewable, plentiful ingredients from mother earth, we offer a luxurious line of personal care for every day use, free of synthetic or irritating chemicals. And as always, our products are never tested on animals.

In the new J.R. Watkins Natural Apothecary line, consumers can count on products that are:

• 95% natural and above
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate free
• Sodium Laureth Sulfate free
• Paraben free
• Phthalate free
• Mineral Oil, Petrolatum free
• Dye free

What products and ingredients touch consumers’ skin is important. See what other ingredients are not found in J.R. Watkins Natural Apothecary line.

The same environmentally-safe and good-for-you philosphies apply with the home remedy line. During a time when there are record numbers of over-the-counter medical prescriptions, Watkins liniment, salves, burn cream, camphor ointment and more become must-haves in every home medicine cabinet. Consumers feel good about the Watkins home remedies because they are more than just effective, they’re natural and safe.

The Natural Products Association has certified J.R. Watkins Natural Apothecary products as meeting their strict guidelines of having at least 95% natural ingredients from renewable and sustainable resources.

Lemon Body Cream from the Natural Apothecary line Vanilla Body Cream from the Natural Apothecary lineTo date, only two other brands have earned this level of stringent certification for their products. It's truly an honor for Watkins, which you can proudly share when telling people about Watkins.

The first products approved by the NPA include the Natural Apothecary Lemon Cream Body Cream and Vanilla Body Cream.

Keep an eye out for reformulated natural remedies sometime in 2009, as a few of our tried and true remedies get a natural face lift. Watkins Liniment will be one of the first to enjoy this natural transition with a natural formula that excludes F,D,& C red #40. This natural product sports a ruddier color, the natural color of the formula! Be one of the first to see the proposed product packaging for this line.

The first thing off the Medicine Shelf ...

The following article was featured in our 1935 Watkins Almanac and Home Book. Times have changed, but one thing is still the same!

The first thing off the Medicine Shelf - Watkins Liniment

The handiest bottle in the whole medicine cabinet is the one containing Watkins Liniment, it is one of the oldest; the most widely sold and most favorably known liniments in the world. It was the foundation of the Watkins business back in 1868, and the satisfaction that it has given for 67 years and the steady demand for it in millions of homes are its best recommendations. Any medicine is judged by its results, and Watkins Liniment has been put to the test millions of times. It has made good. It is the friend-in-need, always ready to give aid, relief and comfort. Keep a bottle handy in your medicine cabinet. The assistance that this good, old-fashioned Liniment will give you in times of need is worth many times its moderate cost.

Be Label Savvy!

In the personal care segment many companies are applying "natural" to their product labels. Without a governing agency to set natural standards for personal care, any brand on the market can call itself natural, regardless of its ingredients. Definitely deceiving to consumers!

Without set standards it is easy to see why consumers are confused! With Watkins you can trust our entire line of 95% and above natural personal care products are natural. But just how do you decipher the truly natural products from impostors? Watkins Natural Personal Care Product Manager Andrea Buckner sat down with me to explain and offer a few helpful tips.

What makes a personal care product natural?

The ingredients in a product determines if a product is truly natural or not. At Watkins, we believe that in order to call a product natural, the product as a whole needs to be formulated using natural ingredients. In an ideal world, all of our products would be 100% natural, and that is something we are striving for; however, there are circumstances when a natural substitution is not available. We take into consideration the origin of ingredients, as well as the processes that it may under take to be a useable ingredient in personal care products. Just because a product contains one or two natural ingredients, doesn't mean it's truly a natural product.

What are the clues we should be looking for on the label that tell us the product is not truly natural?

Because the market is not regulated, being label savvy is really important when it comes to natural personal care products. If you see parabens (Methyl-, Propyl-, Ethyl-, Butyl-), petrochemicals (petrolatum, mineral oil, paraffin), chemical sunscreens (Oxybenzone/Avobenzone),or phthalates, you can be sure the product is not natural. Also, be apprehensive when you see a personal care product that says all-natural, made with natural, contains natural. . . .etc. Check the ingredients!

What if a product contains a natural ingredient? Is it natural?

Definitely not! There are companies out there who do this exact thing. Their lotion contains natural lavender oil, so they call it a natural lavender lotion. This is very deceiving to the consumer, but because natural personal care is not regulated, companies get away with stuff like this. This is why we put our natural percentage bar on each product that we have. We are honest with the consumer.

But it says "natural" or "organic" on the label.

Correct, and legally the companies can call it what they want. Recently, however the Natural Products Association (NPA) has stepped forward with a set of guidelines that have defined what 'natural' means. At Watkins, we are in the process of having all of our natural personal care products certified by the NPA, which will allow us to put a seal on each product. This seal ensures the consumer that the products they are purchasing are truly natural. It also helps to separate those who are not natural companies. I encourage everyone to visit their website at www.naturalproductsassoc.org it contains a wealth of information on natural personal care.

What ingredients should we steer clear of?

As mentioned above, there are a handful of ingredients that natural products steer clear of. At Watkins, we have developed what we call our Freedom Code. We adhere to this code in the development and formulation of J.R. Watkins Natural Apothecary.

* Parabens
* Chemical Sunscreens
* Petro Chemicals
* Glycols



* Phthalates
* DEA/TEA-synthetic stabilizers
* Formaldehyde Donors
* 1,4 Dioxanes



* Polymers
* Acrylates
* Carbomer
* PVP



* Chemical Preservatives
* Silicones
* Quats
* Talc

Bottom line, read your labels! As the old saying goes, you can't always trust a book by its' cover, or in this case, a natural personal care product by its' label.

What's The Buzz?

If you've turned on the radio or television lately, you've probably heard the term Green more than once. Seems that these days everyone is going Green and reducing their carbon footprint. But what do these terms really mean? They are buzzwords that we are going to continue hearing a lot about, so let's find out what all the BUZZ is about!

Green is a shorthand phrase referring to sustaining Earth's resources. It is a vague term that can be used in many different contexts. But footprints are a bit of a different story. Think about the way you live your life. How much water does it take to support your actions each day? Do you enjoy half-hour showers or are you a get-in and get-out kind of person? Doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference, but it does add up and the longer your showers the bigger your ecological footprint. Ecological footprint, what's that? It is the amount of water and food needed to meet your daily needs throughout your lifetime. Now, what about your carbon footprint? This is another term we hear about almost on a daily basis. What it boils down to is really very simple, it is the amount of energy you consume to conduct your life. Imagine how much electricity, natural gas, and gasoline you use to run your home, power your car and even get that morning bowl of cereal to your table. It all adds up and just a few small steps can help to reduce it.

We can go into an in depth discussion about footprints and being Green, but lets focus on carbon footprints.

Your carbon footprint is the amount of energy you use to live day-to-day. By reducing your footprint, not only are you conserving energy and the planet, but you are also saving money. Checkout these simple carbon footprint reducers…who knew cutting your carbon footprint could also save you money?

• Turn off televisions, stereos, home theater systems, and other electronics when not in use. Try this: plug your televisions and other home theater electronics in a power strip with an on/off switch. When you turn your television and other electronics off for the night, flip the switch on the power strip and totally eliminate wasted power.
