Looks like only my system is on autopilot... No COLD calls. What a nice advantage. Atleast for me. And I like it that way. Leads are provided and if I have extra money I can go out and do my own marketing also on the side. I don't have to change anything. The word is: a-u-t-o-p-i-l-o-t-e.
Successful people recognize these principles. Lazy people, well will always look for the easy deal...But I still don't understand how they split up the leads...Ok, don't even speculate on it.

Sorry CW, but I do not cold call and I am with the call center.
I think the point here is that each group has a developed a sophisticated marketing and sales plan - none of which highlight cold calling as the premier method of doing business. The challenge for those looking in to Coastal is to find out which one best fits your style.

My system is HIGHLY automated as well.. also no "opt in" websites and NO COLD CALLS!
Absolutely Noreen.. every group has a very sophisticated system and plan. I don't know any group in coastal that does, in fact "cold call". Its against the law, for starters- and we wouldn't be in business for very long if we starting ringing phones and stepping on "do not call" listers phone lines!
Wheather you are doing PPC advertising or classifieds, posters, vacation parties, give aways for promotion, co-op advertising programs, any of the online promotions methods for SEO, buying leads from on or offline advertising firms, placing ads in the yellow pages, etc etc etc.. point is- YOU are not in business unless you have clients that WANT to speak with you and contact YOU. This is the fact and reality of ANY business!
You can't "sell" anybody anything- the product should and DOES stand alone and speak for itself. Point is, to get the people that have requested information through whatever marketing campaign the information they requested through a simple, complete, transparent and easy to use system.
The "trick" is finding interested people and having THEM call or e-mail YOU. I don't care what group you are in. Some groups provide tested resources in place for you, but leave you free to also do alternate marketing- other groups have you learn to do that part yourself and provide detailed training and suggestions as best as they can in an ever changing marketplace. Some groups pick up the phone when you send them interested people in exchange for a fee, while allowing you to also do that part- others don't.
The mousetrap I wonder about is where is there a group that DOES EVERYTHING for you? Marketing AND Phone work? Of course, it would be extraordinarily expensive, and they would take on a LOT of accountablilty. Which is I presume why no-one has thought of it yet!
Personally, I love what I do. I'm looking for other people who would also love to do what I do every day. Postitive people get positive results! Basically, this business is a LOT of fun- so do whatever you want to do, whatever works for you. But make sure you both have fun AND treat your business LIKE a BUSINESS! Otherwise, its not going to work!
I'm just not happy with the idea of someone else taking large chunks of my commision for people that I send to them- I would much rather just send the people right to me and skip the middle man. It just depends on what you value, and how you look at things. I personally can't thank this business enough for giving me the self confidence and skills that I now have. It was that growth process that helped me find my success. It means so much to me to know that no matter what else I choose to do in this life, I will always be able to take with me what I have learned and accomplished.

Jani,
"Cold calling" -- pretty much when you go and buy leads to call. Yep, pretty much just like w/everything, you have to check, make sure is not against the law. 'Do not call list'...'Global removal list'...Best thing when you can generate your own list. I'm vey fortunate that after 2 months I'm able to.
That's it. Happy hunting.

HEY SAS78
This is a great discussion. Id love to add my 2 cents to it. First off Coastal is one of the best businesses ive ever come across. The training , the product and the commissions are top notch. There are various groups out there that have varied methods of making your business successful. I have been very successful in one particular organization and it has allowed my wife any myself to be featured in the May 2006 HBC magazine. But we have associates and friends in each of the organizations and give our testimonies on different calls to promote the Coastal Package. We love that we learn from so many and fit our Coastal Business to OUR lifestyle. We pick and chose what method fits our skills and lifestyle and pick the right system to match. Thats the beauty it is your own business. Do your due diligence but get started asap. We made over 10k in our first 7 weeks and have never looked back. That was 2 yrs ago. People do sales like that all the time now. So good luck to you SAS78.

Thanks Adam!
I got it last night.. sure, I know how to contact you, just didn't want to be that rude!
Thanks for the compliments, I sure LOVE what I'm doing! Helped one of my new associates make a training sale last night on DAY #3! I'm SO excited for her, absolutely zero previous experience and very limited computer skills before starting her new business. Don't tell me the system DOESN'T WORK!!! Plug in and go, Go, GO!!!
WOO HOO!
I'm looking forward to chatting with you somewhere other then a Q&A call!
Have a FABULOUS FRIDAY everyone and HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY to my American friends!
Cheers

If you are not just working Coastal and have another job, I find the Call Center a great asset. I travel a lot and many times out of the country, so when I need to follow up with a prospect I just call the Call Center and give them the prospect's phone number and they follow up for me.
It is a great tool to have if you don't have time to call leads or always return their calls.
Susan
