Thanks Jeff, I for one appreciate your honesty and candor and thank you for that.
If I had a choice of a goldseal or the kind of income you are earning and the fun you are having...........gee.... difficult choice 
We are in the business to help others enjoy the kind of lifestyle they only dreamed of.

WELL JEFF!...no need to say you're sorry...on the contrary my friend, what you just posted in plain vernacular is the sheer fact that all we are...well... is just plain humans...full of pasions, some foibles here and there and a strong need to belong!
How refreshing to feel the gutsy pulling of the metaphorical veil if you will.
Jeff, I still have a couple of questions for ya!...I'll send an email.
Thank you !
Joe.

Quoting: roger As an idea Susan if you intend to retail the product, go to that initial email with the voucher (you should opt in to your own system anyway to see how the autoresponder works for you) and save the voucher in your system to send to future biz prospects, or whomever you wish, as a taste of what they'll get in our package for their staff/clients.
Thanks Roger for your input and suggestion.
Susan

Use the email address that Jeff Mills gave you: coastal@coanetwork.com and see if you can get a response. There are numbers available for the individuals on the BOD, but they are just that - individual directors just like all of us.
However, I think you've answered your own question here - there is no oversight or or revocation of Director's releases. You will be safe as far as the validity of the releases you will get once you qualify.
As to whether or not your Director is a good one, ask for references. If he's new and doesn't have any from Coastal yet, then talk with his upline. Make sure that your thoughts and your "gut" agree with each and go onto be successful!

Hello
to check if your director is in good standing, do a check on the BBB and then on google etc and place scam after their name.
If there are legitimate complaints, they will pop up on the internet as fast as lightening.
As far as certain "board of director" members go, there is one individual who will tell you that there is no good director in coastal other than that certain individual (not letting in on the gender).
In fact that person has gone so far as to tell new members at the seminars that they have such a lousy director that they need to ask for a refund and join that individual instead, and they will pray for them to make the right decision.
I actually had to place a complaint in myself about that person (after 3 years of the person bad mouthing every director out there I had enough)
Just know, that certain board members do not have the power they think they have.
As far as releases are concerned. You do need to have an ID for any future purchases. But when someone joins coastal are they really after the releases or the support and expertise their sponsor brings to the table.
Oh, and my pet ranting peeve. What is it about some new people who are in coastal and they lose the sale to another director, tell the new member that what they have done is illegal and unethical etc as they have chosen to join another director.
Sorry, but nowhere does it say, that the first person who talks to a prospect automatically gets the sale.
We have all lost sales to others in coastal, and you know, that is the nature of the business. I always wish someone well with their new director (and if they wish to pay for mentorship at a later stage I will welcome them back) sorry had to pop that one in.
But everyone is welcome to join anyone in coastal.
It is so much more gracious to win in losing than to make the new member feel lousy.
hope this helps
maria

Maria,
I LOVE your post! I thought that I was the only person who felt that way - and I do know exactly to whom you refer.
To me, it is interesting to note the definitions for the new "Gold Seal" certification program.
Requirement #3 states that to obtain a gold seal a Director must have no valid complaints.
"If other people have had legitimate complaints regarding a Director, you deserve to know. A Director can only receive the Gold Seal award if they have zero verifiable complaints at the shipping center. When you see the Seal, you know you are working with a good Director."
But if the BOD is policing themselves, then how exactly is a "verifiable complaint" verified?!
Food for thought...

Quoting: CoastalToday Though he sold Coastal at a discount and often included the releases, when he approached 100 sales he was contacted by Al Romine and told that he would be eligible to join the BOD - just like any other successful Coastal Director who held to the standard prices/two up.
The Coastal Board of Directors and leadership council are working to eliminate people who do things like this...not bring them on board. If you are a part of a team who keeps you upto date on what's going on with Coastal, you'd know this.

Quoting: luvtravel generally there is NO MONTHLY fee!!
There are a few people who will give you a free website and perhaps some free training, but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
The Board of Directors have a great website that I subscribe to, you can take a look at a sample site at http://www.CoastalIncome.com/sample
You'll invest $79.95 per month for this site and the 3 others that are listed on that page.
I have those sites and the system that the Coastal Synergy Group has put together. The CSG system does allow me to manage my business from one place and gives me everything required to earn a high six figure income.
Using a "freebie" website will not give you everything required.

Have you seen the post by Mills regarding the coa site? It rarely works unless you acces it from another site. I have it and I am very dissapointed by the cookies blocking site that prevents the user from accessing it.

Hello Savannah
you are right
the COA network sites work on a cookie system (which is so outdated it is beyond comprehension)
it will not always save in favorites and will not always redirect properly.
Altho' I have to say that I have not had any issues when I have used domains redirecting to the sites recently.
That is why I recommend using the COA system together with another site that you have full access to.
The replicated sites are fine, but if you really want your sites to get up in the search engines, it is best to have one that you make or have made for you.
You can also use a blog to get SE positioning.
hope this helps
maria

Quoting: jlDunn I asked my director this same question, as one of my prospects had asked me.....and she said that if you are unsure of someone's release you can actually call the Shipping Centre, or the BOD and have them verify the release with the training sales and director who released them as they are supposed to keep them all on file.
That's a new one on me. You WON'T get a call back unless you are a member of Coastal with a SHIPPING question.

Jay is right
you have to be a coastal member to get a call back from the shipping center
you also have to leave your member ID on the message.
The only way to find out if your release is OK is when you try to purchase a package with it....
A Note...beware of those who are selling just level 2 or level 3 packages on ebay and craigslist etc
the level 2 and 3 packages are purchased under a membership ID
so if you are just purchasing one off the net, it will be in the ID and the name of the person who purchased it and not in yours.
cheers
maria
