Quoting: dawnmo The call Center will call them in the evening.
That's the point Dawn, the call center does not call leads in the am or pm the leads HAVE to call them! Now if you can please explain how exactly you are getting the call center to call them I am all ears!
Thanks
Terri

Quoting: rhondap Now I was thinking of using Voiceshot as well until I get ContactTalk can you tell me more? __________________ Rhonda Peterson
Rhonda, all I do is record a brief message on the phone as intro to a prospect, and than tell Voice Shot when I want the campaign to begin, what time to call, whether I want live answers or answer machines only. It's a great system and not expensive at all.

I direct the prospect to the call center on our initial call. The prospect calls the call center and either speaks to a call center rep, or leaves a message with a good time to call back. The call center rep will call the prospect back at a good time for the prospect.
I have even had the call center call a prospect who has re-visited my website several times (even if I haven't spoken to them yet). You just need to let Hoyt or Bill know that you have a hot prospect , and they are happy to follow-up.

Mind sharing what you say to the prospect to get them to call to begin with, what % actually calls the call center? Do you use a incentive to get them to call or do you just say call for more info?
I am still at a loss of what to say to get them to call.

After pre-qualifying them, I will generally direct them to the lead capture page first and explain that they need to fill out their info to get full access to the website. I then say "if you have any questions, go ahead and give the call center a call at .... or feel free to give me a call back."
I like them to have looked at the website first before calling the call center because everything is laid out for them there, including costs.
Really, I have just a very small percentage of people who actually go to the website and fill out the info. I haven't done a lot of lead calling with Coastal but now that the kids are back in school I will try to do more.
Hope this helps. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

I am very new and not even done the first sale as yet. However, in doing research on lead companies I noticed on one site some really cheap leads which the lead company said were pretty good for auto dialers.
In the past I created leads for my people - in fact we got to the point that we build our own dialers - I have several of them sitting idle now.
Has anyone used this type of marketing? I know so many people that have bought these machines and never had them work for them - so I get that part. However I have been using them and now building them for over 20 years - in the insurance business and the mortgage business - just curious if anyone here has given them a go in this industry?

Hi Bob, yes we all have used the equivalent to a autodialer, I use Voice shot, others use ContactTalk.
I strictly call leads already generated I do not use it to generate leads. Did you use it to generate leads and how did that work for you in the ins/mtge business? Does the "do not call lists" law apply?

Terri - yes we used them exclusively for our lead generation. After reading up on how most do their marketing here I am convinced at this time that they may not be that effective in this industry.
We always conformed to the Fed and State (not all) DNC guidelines. The dialer makes about 9000 calls per day playing an interactive voice script in which the client must answer several questions and at the end - if interested - they leave their name and phone number. Then the LO's would call them back etc.
1/3 right out of the gate were not qualified i.e. were not homeowners etc. then only 1/2 of those left was there any reason to continue the conversation - because we could not help them.
It worked great for us when we have rising home values and most of the people answering were needing help i.e. poor credit - today both of those issues have dried up.
It appears most here work leads that the people have already been exposed to the basic's and know pricing etc. I do not see a way to have dialers do that - at a price that is less that what is currently available through buying leads etc.
So I guess I answered my own question by doing more research as to what most here are doing currently.
Hope that helps
Bob

Hey faithhopelove,
There are numerous groups that make up the business of Coastal Vacations. As this is a business you run as an independent contractor anyone can start their own group and system. There are a few groups represented in this forum ranging from call centers to the Official Coastal Vacations Group. Id say its best to research them as they all offer great benefits, but those benefits need to be based on your needs as a business owner. Sit down with the person that introduced you to Coastal and get their feedback. There are also many here that can help so read the forum. Also be aware as you are asking about Coastal you will be bombarded by offers for many of us to be your director. Choose wisely if that is the route you take but id say really talk to the person how contacted you as they are and should be first in line.

I'm a Level 3 Director. It's official as of this weekend, it's been an amazing year of learning and discovering.
Now that I have my Directorship. This is how I will run my Coastal Business & operation.
I purchase my new teammate's first set of leads.
I do all of the follow calls with the team member so they can learn first hand.
I pay them a commission on each of the two training sales and release them as a director.
If they come in at a higher level, like Premier or Platinum. I process all the orders for them, just as my Director as done for me. The New Teammate keeps the Entire lower level commissions! That's $3200 & $1000 in their pocket, plus! They start building their team.
But that's just me and how i run my Coastal Operation.
Warm Regards,
Jena

ARE YOU RESERACHING COASTAL VACATIONS?
That is your first step. How can you expect to make money in a business if you dont know what it is? Read through this forum and see the many observations and comments from people all over the US. We are all different but have one thing in common we know a good thing when we see it. Do you? Coastal has been around for about 14 years now and guess what the price of the packages have never went up but they have sure gotten better in value.
Get on our live conference calls, talk to the people, look over the websites and then get started. You can begin making money in your first weeks. That is incredible. If you are looking for the opportunity of a lifetime then you have found it.
If you have someone showing you this opportunity then get back to them asap. If you dont then contact me for an informative chat so I can guide you through our automated steps.

Hi, Researchers!
Listen, the key to being successful with any homebased business is to have a system that is versatile enough to change with your personality so that you can customize it to your liking.
THAT is what is so GREAT about Coastal! There are lots of ways to promote your Coastal Vacations business. If you are a person who doesn't like to sell then the team I am involved in might be for you. We have a call center that takes our calls and closes our sales and then sends us a check for at least $1,000.
But, let's say that you don't mind selling. You could also do home parties like Pampered Chef does. Have a group come over and give away some vouchers for a Cruise or Vegas trip. You can make some serious sales that way.
You can go to local businesses and sell them a package for incentives to reward employees or to increase sales.
Coastal is so versatile that just about anyone can make money with this product.
Even if you are just an everyday, average person, let us show you how to use Coastal to be your own boss!

Can you really "sell" something to someone who doesn't want it? Let's say you are a vegetarian, if you and some friends goto lunch at McDonalds....are you going to buy a Big Mac because they offer it to you? I doubt it.
Having the right system is important, but it's also important to know that SALES...as some choose to call what we do in their marketing is not what we do. We are more like tour guides. We're looking for people who are looking for what we have. If you like what you see and read - then welcome to Coastal, if not...no problem, we're not looking to chase people down.
There are alot of options when it comes to coastal, I choose to get my milk from the source. This allows me and my team to focus on results and not the other stuff that seems to take place.
Now, this does not mean that other groups are bad - it does mean that there's an underlying person or group of people who are profiting from selling picks and shovels (also knows as marketing systems) to people within Coastal. Keeping this in mind when you review the information will assist you in this process.
As you review the information about Coastal, you'll find that there are options that make it seem so easy that you don't have to do anything buy write a check - Know that the people who have success with Coastal WORK and that this is not a get rich quick opportunity. It IS an opportunity to make a lifestyle change.

It really depends on the "system".
Some systems will sell a product and sell it very well BUT even great systems require work like pushing leads TO the system to allow it to work.

Good Question!
There are many- The "official" group was obviously the original... there were problems so new groups came into being...
By my understanding- first the CSG, then Vacation Power and Wealthbuilders (again offshoots), around that time also the call centres (a few of those) and then a few newer smaller groups, christian based- etc- basically niche market groups. Lets not forget also the many, many completely independant directors (often either offline or retail market) that are also very happy and successful. We don't often hear about them- so they are easy to overlook!
SO- basically- LOTS of groups and systems to choose from. They ALL work- some of them better then others.
The trick is picking the right DIRECTOR for you first- I fully believe that- and then doing what they tell you to do. The only way to fail here is quit!
Ask lots of questions, and prepare to have fun!
Cheers
Jani

Hey Terri!
I'm doing better then GREAT! Thanks for asking- I hope that you can say the same!
I've had a busy summer- on a farm there is always activity with the kids off school (we board their ponys here) and I took some time off- the season is too short and seems to get shorter every year! I had the luxury of enjoying my handmade mexican hammock however- imagine the cruelty of being forced to work with pink lemonade, a laptop and cordless phone while my daughter ran around the yard playing with her paddle pool and the farm children!! lol! I loved it- they seem to grow so quick!
I hope everyone had an equally enjoyable and fulfilling summer!
I really appreciate all of your messages and thoughts welcoming me back! I'm glad I stopped in again now that the busy Coastal season is here again!
Jani
