Its a shame what Marsha has been put through. How would any of us like to start a business and find out that everything you need isnt there. Thats a bummer.
After you figure out what to do about your packages ( there have been alot of ideas put out already) I think your next step is get your websites set up. Once they are set up its important you start learning this product and opportunity. This forum is a good start. I use the Official BOD system but there are many good systems out there. My preference is the Official BOD because its like getting the info from the horses mouth. All the other groups are offsprings of them.
Leads are a tricky subject there are a bunch of school of thoughts. I go by the theory that a lead is a lead is a lead. So using that philosphy Id say get as many leads for the least amount you can. In my opinion even what are called premium leads by many companies are just glorified autoresponder leads. Get a bunch for as little as you can. Heck it keeps your cost down and in the beginning if you mess up in talking to people you still have a bunch more to practice on.
Now in a few places its been said if you arent at an event you arent serious about your business. I disagree. The events are great but many get in Coastal for the time freedom and dont like to be in fornt of the crowd. My wife and I have done very well in Coastal. We were rookie of the year in our organization , were featured in the HBC magazine and even did trainings at events. We have been there but to be honest as we like to now sit back and enjoy our time freedom the limelight of the events doesnt appeal to us anymore. You can still do well in business if you arent at the events but if you want to meet the people then you need to be there. In addition there are great trainings available at the events but this business is really simple. You market a great product. Discount travel. You sell it at an amazing price and make a super return. Keep it simple.
Could you tell a friend or anyone that travels about a good deal? Of course you could. When you keep it simple you can teach it to anyone. I will say this Marsha...if you need a real down to earth talk about Coastal id love to spend that time with you. Id love to be the person to be your director but more importantly id like to give you some ideas on what you should do next.

Thanks for the clarification Terri. I see what you mean.

Quoting: rhondap I would suggest get trained through the Official calls and training website and BUY the package then start marketing.
Yes, but the only challenge is that the releases being discussed are not going to honored.

Hey Adam,
I'd like to ask you to go back 19 years to any and all of the events you attended as a network marketer. Why do people goto events???
Here's why I go. This weekend was a great event and some of the great things we got to see is how a Travel Seminar is done and how to Close L3 and L2 Sales....Live at a travel seminar. I've never seen this done before and this alone was worth the price of admission.
Business to Business Sales. I know your an expert at it, but MANY do not have the sales experience you have and want to know how it's done. I've even decided to put together some special trainings for my team where 3-5 people will have the opportunity to spend the day with me doing B2B in their backyard.
I used to think that people who don't have the money don't go...but things do come up. I was supposed to goto a Las Vegas event and my wife's grandmother died. I'd already invested in plane tickets, hotel and event tickets.....but God had another plan.
Either way. If you ARE SERIOUS about your business. Get on tomorrow Nights Official Coastal Vacations call to hear what's been added.

I understand, this person needs to purchase a package from someone and start off the RIGHT way with their Coastal Vacations business. The purchased releases won't do them any good. Money wasted lesson learned.

Good morning all. It's monday and im fired up as I woke up with renewed vim and vigor today. My goal is to let that energy and power flow to you all. This has been a great weekend for many as they are coming back from the Official BOD seminar. It's a great weekend for others as they spent time with friends and family. It was a great weekend for me as I finally learned the Coastal secret.
The Coastal secret you ask? Yes I have learned it. I was thinking of a price I could market this for and thought long and hard. How much is such this secret worth? What would you pay for it? If you had the secret that would open the door to prosperity in your life , that would allow you to get out of debt and pay off your bills, or for many allow you to bring that significant other home from the workforce what would it be worth to you? So after a long deliberation I have the price. IT'S FREE!!!!!
The Coastal secret is this . Keep the business simple. We all spend years learning this technique and this system. This business is simple. We market a product in a 7 trillion dollar industry. Who doesnt like travel? If you have a good product and market it at a good price people will buy. When you get on the phone with a prospect if you are too polished and have too many techniques you can lose them. And what if they are polished as well..then you better be on your game. How about being excited and telling them you can save them money or you can show them how to make money. In our first 7 weeks of business we made 10k, not because we were polished but because of our excitement.
Keepp it simple in B2B as well. Ask questions ? Find out what the business owners needs and then fill the need. There is not a business out there that cant use Coasta. Heres why.
1- Every business either needs or wants more customers. What better way to get them than to offer them a vacation.
2- Every business needs to keep its existing customer base happy. They can use Coastal to give specials to their long standing customers.
3- Every business that has employees want to retain them. So many people change jobs and the employer then has to train a new person. That takes money. If they give people a reasont o stay it helps their bottom line.
If you keep is all simple you will have all you want in this business. This is the ULTIMATE MARKETING TOOL. Ive always said that. If you understand that then the sky is the limit.
