Coastal Vacations is about having choices. You have the choice of finding and picking a great director. You have the choice of running your business as you see fit. I had a prospect yesterday that so missed the point. They could only see the MLM part of Coastal. They looked at the training sales and the calls and lost focus on the fact we are a direct sales association with some qualifying aspects that you see in MLM's. Coastal is direct sales. You market a travel package and get paid direct.
You chose how to market this product. Thats important when looking at a business opportunity. Many of us dont like to make ton's of phone calls. I hate making calls. Id rather be in front of people so I choose to retail the product more. Thats a choice I have. In fact im going to be creating jobs for people as im going to be paying people a split commission to call the 1000's of leads I have. If you are a frustrated director or associate that might be a way to generate some money in your business. You see Coastal gives us a choice to do so much as this is our own business.
Ive chosen to make alot of my training free as I see this as a way to up the ante in Coastal. Im putting together a complete training on Youtube that my team, your team as well as all the people in my A-Team CV Free Apprentice program can use. Will it be exactly what everyone needs..maybe not but why not help as many Coastal members as possible. The better they are at this business the better our reputation as an organization gets.
Many have chosen to divide and to downgrade the Coastal business. I chose to uplift and enlighten it by giving back. Coastal gives us choices.
If you are new and looking at Coastal Vacations get ready for a great ride in 2008. This business is the best business on the entire planet. We offer a great stand alone product, great training and support , an amazing compensation plan and most importantly the most versatile business opportunity on the market. What are you waiting for call me or one of the other directors here to get the details on Coastal and get started.

New to looking at Coastal Vacations? If so you are in the right place. On this forum you will see many of the successful members of this amazing organization share tips and strategies we have all used to become successful. We all have different methods but we all market the same product.

We have live events, free training calls and many members have innovative ways for you to get started. Ive even created a free option so that money is never an issue. I will say that the last almost three years of being involved with this great opportunity has shown me that this is the granddaddy of all home based business opportunities.
I encourage you to look at the links in my signature line to see which of my programs is best for you and lets get you started making those high commissions.

Coastal Vacations has just gotten even better. If you are new and looking to get started then this is the time. For years this has been the best home based travel opportunity on the market. With commissions of $1000 - $9705 , a great product and tons of support joining Coastal is a no brainer. The challenge has been getting the start-up capital. Many directors have innovative ways to get you started. Ive taken it a step further. Can anyone say you can get started for free? You can learn more in the links of my signature line.
But lets get back to why you are looking at Coastal. You probably like vacations. Ive saved over 15k using my Level III package. Ive made ton's of money. We started out doing that. We made over 10k in our first 7 weeks. Ive trained entire organizations. As a former member of the CSG Leadeship board I hosted live weekly conference calls as well as conducted live training for massive audiences. Well ive given up those obligations so I could perfect a program on how everyone can succeed in Coastal and im ready to show you just that.
Before you make a decision I suggest following a few steps.
1- If you were referred to Coastal by someone then you owe it to that person to at least get back in touch with them and get your questions answered.
2- Go to http://www.officialcoastaltools.com and click on the DVD link and take a look at the product and business presentation movies.
3- Go to http://www.officialcoastaltraining.com and look at all the free training for all members of Coastal. This even before you get one of our incredible websites.
4- Check out the many incredible threads of info on this forum. Im bias and think Adam's Advantage is the best.
5- Contact me or one of the other great directors on this forum and get started. Ask how you can get it done. Find out all your options. I even have two free earn as you learn options so money is never an issue.
Take action in '08. The time is now to get started.

IF YOU ARE NEW HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO PICK AS A DIRECTOR
Im going to start this thread out by saying I believe that if you are new you should begin your business with me. Thats not to say that the other directors on here arent great choices. Its more to say I believe im the best choice.
Now to make a statement like that you have to back it up so im going to give you some reasons to pick a director and explain why again I think you should pick me.
REASON ONE
Any director that you pick must be able to teach you a simple system to help you create wealth. Now all of the associates and directors in Coastal that follow our Coastal method can do this and should be doing it. Our system actually does 90% of the work so everyone should use it. Here is what makes me different. Ive been involved with creating many of these systems. I was chosen to be part of an elite leadership groups that dozens try to become part of every year. I was picked because of my success in Coastal and more importantly my leadership qualities. My extensive background in sales, marketing and management makes me a perfect fit to lead others.
REASON TWO
Does your director add anything to the table? Now if you are like me you have a desire to be the best and to do your best in all that you do. As a Christian my faith pushes me to be a shining example to all that I come in contact with. This is not to say you have to be of my faith to be in my business but it does point to the fact im always striving to be the best I can and help my teammates do the same. With that mentality ive created many valuable assets to help anyone who gets started with me succeed. Ive even created a FREE OPTION to get started. This option has tons of info to go with it and you can take a look at the details from the link in my signature line.
REASON THREE
Honesty and integrity is a huge factor. I was involved in another travel home based business. In fact if you search enough on this very forum you can see all the hoopla about it. Well I joined and created a team of over 50 people many are people that you see post in this Coastal thread regularly. We all joined that opportunity as it was going to give us a residual income as well as provide us all with much needed leads. Now I was making upwards of $2000 a month in residual income from that one opportunity.
Unfortunately in my opinion the management team of that opportunity did not run their business with integrity ( the owner actually called me up and threatened me) so we walked away from it asap. Not only did we walk away but we forwarded all the nasty emails I received from the owner to our entire team as well as came out on their live calls to get straight answers to the problems that were going on.
Now I bring all this up not to open old wounds but rather to point out that our honesty and integrity are what sets us apart from so many people in this industry. We didnt let MONEY blind us from doing what was the right thing.
There are dozens of other reasons I could go over here but I hope that this makes you stop and think as you make your decision to get involved in Coastal Vacations.
Id like to give you some free resources to check out Coastal as well. These websites are free standing sites created by the Coastal Directors Board of Directors as free tools for anyone in Coastal to use.
http://www.officialcoastaltools.com - Free tools
http://www.officialcoastaltraining.com - Free training
After looking them over take a look at all the great info in the threads on this forum. Forgive some of the bickering back and forth as we are all passionate about our businesses and with that being the case from time to time we disagree strongly. I recommend looking at the thread entitled Adam's Advantage as I try to put good useful content there. When you finished looking at all this info be sure to click on the links from my signature line to see how to get started in either the paid or free option as well as how to get some free leads. I know it seems like alot but understand you are looking to start a business that can realistically make you with just one sale a month an extra 12k a year. What would an extra $1000 a month do for your budget?

I have recently been introduced to Platinum One Destinations, and the person I'm talking with said she worked for Coastal Vacation previously. I'm trying to verify the information I've been given, found your name online as a Coastal Leader and wanted to ask you a few questions.

I find it is not easy to convince people to come up with that much money to start Coastal Vacations Business.
It would be nice if Coastal Vacations had another package with lower cost to start with.

ka7952, I heard this guy named Les Brown speak to a group of teens at a YMCA years ago. He said, "A man convinced against his will, is of the same mind still." You stated, Quoting: ka7952 I find it is not easy to convince people to come up with that much money to start Coastal Vacations Business. It would be nice if Coastal Vacations had another package with lower cost to start with.
My 1st question is, if you are in Coastal, who taught you the idea of convincing?
My 2nd question is, if you are not in Coastal, where did you get that idea from?
I am not in the business of convincing. I'm just directing people to information! If this is the right opportunity for them, they will see it and nothing will stop them, not even obtaining the funds they need to invest in their future.
I had a friend recently share this at a local BNI meeting:
"Why are most people content to work for someone else even though they complain about it all the time?" Because they are not willing to do what business owners do. Entrepreneurship is HARD.
His list of why people will not even try.
1. Hard work is HARD. That's why it's called hard work.
2. Taking Risks! Most people are afraid of failure, so they avoid risk.
3. Doing Research. All of the world's secrets are available to those
who seek them. Yet, few people are willing to put in the work.
4. Getting Organized. Having systems and files takes discipline that
most people don't have.
5. Rejection. This has to be the largest fear of all. Nobody likes to
be rejected, even by strangers."
I used to be P.O.O.R. Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly.
I now feel R.I.C.H. Realizing It Can Happen! I left the Poverity Mindset behind, and decided no one else will dictate my future.
It's not about the money, it's about the desire. It's about Dreaming with your eyes wide open, to change your present circumstances! Nobody has the money to start any business opportunity, if they had the money, they wouldn't be looking. There are numerous stories of people that started with Coastal Vacations broke. One of the best stories I have heard is about a women that downloaded a dog biscuit recipe off the Internet. She made the biscuits, sold them in her community and with the profits, she bought stuff at yard sales and flea markets to sell on eBay. She used those profits to start her Coastal vacations business. If she could do it, why can't you? It's never about money.
Hope this helps!
Brian

The average family will pay more than $1295 for a week vacation to Disney. Our level one package cost $1295 and its for a lifetime of discounted vacations. Thats the beauty of our package. When I talk to a client I give them a very simple analogy to understand how our package works. I ask them if they have heard of Costco's , Sam's Club or BJ's. Most have. I explain how they buy a membership to those establishments and then get their goods for a discount from them on. Our travel package works the same way. They buy a membership and now get travel at a discount for life. Its very simple. No convincing at all. They either get it or not.
We market something people are already paying money for and we sell it at a discount. When people understand that it become simple. Thats the way I approach clients. For business builders I give them my free option so they can earn as they learn. Its a simple system and it works.

I think a lot of people don't understand what makes Coastal different than the other bizz-opps. The plain and simple truth is that we can make HUGE commissions for selling something that can benefit everyone. And, with my team, you don't have to do the selling if you don't want to. It's your choice.
Are the start-up cost higher than most other "Bizz-opps"? Yes, but let's do a comparison. Let's use a typical business modle that I have seen and received emails about in the last few weeks. This is not a slam on this company by any means, but it shows the difference between what we do and what many other typical MLM companies do. The company I am talking about is the company that sells dot W S domains. I can't even remember the name of it right now. You pay $10 a month and when you get other people to join and do the same you get like a dollar a month. I think as the branches grow in your downline you get some of theirs also. If you get hundreds of people who get hundreds of people then, yes, you can make money but, keeping someone paying that $10 a month is MUCH harder than you think. If they aren't active in the business then they will eventually drop out and take your $1.00 a month commission with them. Unless you are REALLY motivated and are willing to spend a BUNCH of money on advertising and you get fortunate enough to sign up people who are producers like youself, then don't expect much from a company like this or any other "Pay monthly to receive commissions" companies.
If you are serious about making money then you need to look for a business that will pay SERIOUS money as commissions. Does that mean you will have to spend more than $10 to get started? Of Course, but it will pay off in a big way. Will you find a bunch of people waiting by your front door ready to join your business the day after you join? Probably not. But, you will be able to make hundreds of times more money with only one sale.
It's sad to say but everyone is not cut out to own a business. It would be nice if it were so but some do better as employees as opposed to being their own boss. You have to be able to take risks and be one of the "UNUSUAL" people in this world. Coastal Vacations is the kind of business that you could put in a store front and do your business like any other business if you chose to. BUT, it doesn't cost you the typical $75,000 to $300,000 to start your Coastal business and you can be in profit mode in a few days instead of a few years like with most businesses.
Now, will all of these words change the fact that many don't have the start up money to get into Coastal? No, it won't. It might help people understand that we are not your typical Home Business, though.

Great post Harold. Coastal Vacations is a hybrid business. The beauty is that it combines many of the features of so many other businesses in a great mix. You have an amazing product. Very high commissions. You also have an element of duplication but as its also a direct sales business you dont have to duplicate and build a downline. We all know that 90% of most that start in MLM's and network marketing fail so giving those that want to build a downline the option but also letting members grow though direct sales is a stroke of genius.
As for the start-up fee and it being too high that is just a ploy that the other opportunities have used to try and knock Coastal Vacations. Ive gotten started in opportunities where I paid upwards of $500 and got nothing but a kit. For $1295 you get a lifetime of vacations. Ive saved more on one trip than it cost be to buy my package so even if I never made a dime marketing the package im still ahead. To be honest for all it offers the Coastall opportunity is underpriced.
If you are looking for a business that has it all then Coastal is it. A good product , great commissions and systems in place to help you succeed. Even better you have all the flexibility in the world on marketing. Travel is a business that everyone is excited about and its growing rapidly.
If you are thinking of Coastal Vacations then get back to the person that referred you here. If you dont have that person id love to have a conversation with you. Ive got many options to get anyone no matter what their budget is started. Ive been successful in Coastal and have alot to share with anyone looking to learn. Lets make it to the top together.

WHY COASTAL
There are so many options on what home based business to join these days. With the job market being what it is so many people are looking online to create additional income. They see the benefits in terms of time they can spend with their loved ones as well as the savings on gas and commuting. Stay tuned as I give my opinion why if you are looking your should join Coastal Vacations.
Any business you join must have a product that people want to buy and use. So much emphasis is put on people saying they hate sales but if no one buys then no money is generated. The only way that happens is buy something being bought and sold. The great thing about Coastal is we market a product (travel) that everyone loves and we have websites that do most of the selling for us. In addition we have live events and calls to help even more. You dont have to be a great salesman to do well. If you can ask someone if they like to save money on vacations and can direct them to our Coastal Profile you can succeed.
The next thing to look at when you are starting a business is the commission sturcture. When and how will I make money and more importantly how much. In Coastal we make $1000 - $9705 on every transacation and do this after making only 3 total sales with the help of your director. The first sale is your own purchase and the next two are what are called training sales. Its much like how things work in the insurance industry as well as many other industries. You have a mentor that shows you the ropes and they retain the first few sales fr doing so. After that you are in profit mode.
What I like most about Coastal is the systems that are in place. Ive been in network marketing for over 20 years and have learned that most people dont succeed in this market. What is needed is a system to support most. Coastal Vacations has various systems in place as well as I have my own training and tools for anyone joining my team. With that support you will succeed.
Now that you understand Coastal Vacations a bit more I suggest going to two free resource pages to get more info.
http://www.officialcoastaltools.com
http://www.officialcoastaltraining.com
After getting the details the next thing you need to do is pick someone to work with. I suggest you pick me. That shouldnt come as a shock I bet. Get back with me so we can go over your questions. Money is never an issue as I have programs in place to get you started no matter what your budget is. Ranging from "I HAVE NO MONEY TO INVEST" to "I CAN INVEST AND GET STARTED AT THE TOP" you have a choice. In addition be sure to take a look at my signature links and pick up some free leads for either starting your Coastal Business or any opportunity you are already involved in.

I agree. Everybody LOVES travel. So it is not difficult at all to tell people that they can save a lot of money by purchasing travel program that let them take vacations at discount for life.
In the mean time they can earn good income if they do this for business. Or they can just choose to purchase and use the package as their own vacation discount.
It is almost like timeshare, but with much more ease of use and benefit at more affordable price.

Quoting: ka7952 It is almost like timeshare, but with much more ease of use and benefit at more affordable price.
..........
ka -- I think you misspoke??? "almost like a timeshare"? Ka -- take a really close look and then compare a TS with the Coastal Resort Condo Card. Nothing to suggest that a TS can even be used in the same sentence with what we do
I'm sure you knew of what you speak - I am just trying to clarify.
A TS has annual fees higher than our one week price per the exact same unit eh? The only "difference" is that I save the price of the TS ($15 to 30,000) - am I close?
I think I'll keep my $15 to 30,000 in the bank and use my cheaper Condo Card when ever I want to - not when the TS company says I must.

Quoting: ka7952 It is almost like timeshare, but with much more ease of use and benefit at more affordable price.
I might be wrong but its seems that Ka7952 was making reference to something that people not in Coastal can relate to. Many people know what timeshares are and either have them or know people that do. Using it as a point of reference is a good idea.
I actually ask people when I talk to them if they have ever been to a timeshare and then let them know using our condo cards they can go to the same places at a much more affordable price. Many understand that scenario right away as they can relate to timeshares.
As we know people buy from an emotional standpoint and when you have a timeshare and are paying a monthly maintenance feee and only getting 2 to 3 weeks a year at your location people get emotional.
For all that are looking at Coastal think of all the reasons that salespeople have said its a good reason to buy a timeshare , then take away all the negatives and the Coastal Package is even ten times better. This is an amazing package where you can go online or make a phone call and get a 4 bedroom condo for sometimes $259. I know this as fact as ive done it. You can call and reserve a room at a hotel at 11pm est and get the room for $60 when it normally goes for $120 a night. Again ive done it. How about using our vacation vouchers to get a 3 day 2 night stay for less than $50. You see this package is the most incredible travel value on the market.
For all that are looking at Coastal be sure to not just read the post here but to go and take a look at the Coastal Profile on the page of the person that referred you here. It will go over the entire package in detail. That is your best resource to learn as much as you can. If you dont have a director you are working with then my door is open for you to come ask your questions. Im sure I can either be the person to get you started or at least lead you to the info you need to make a decision.

Thank you all for clarification.
I think what I was trying to do is to compare Coastal Vacations with something that people are familiar with and that is Timeshare. I was by no means suggesting that Coastal Vacations is Timeshare or even similar to it.
My travel business is Cruise to Cash which is very similar to Coastal Vacations. The cost to join is much less, however with monthly fee that will earn you residual income monthly from your referral.
I love both Coastal Vacations and Cruise to Cash. I think both are great and customers will have more choices to choose from.
Thanks.

Coastal Vacations take alot of bumps from many in the industry. If you search on the internet you will see many taking shots at this opportunity. When you are on top that comes with the territory. Lets for once and for all set the record straight.
Many of the other opportunities have great potential. They have excellent pay plans, great products and good systems but in my humble opinion Coastal beats them all. Here why.
1- Pay Plans
Ive been around many home based opportunities and have created nice sized downlines. In many opportunities you need a good sized downline to make any money. Not in Coastal. With commissions of $1000- $9705 you dont need alot of teammates to really prosper. Now having a downline or a team in this case does help you income grow in an exponential manner and is very lucrative. But if you dont have a team you can still do very well.
2- The Product
The Coastal Package is made up of two distinct parts. The discount cards that give us the ability to book travel right on the spot and get discounts of up to 80%. I love my discount cards and have saved thousands using them. The second part are the unlimited travel vouchers that really set this package apart. Not only do you get to travel at the most astounding discounts in the market ( taxes-only vacations) but they also act as the ultimate marketing tool. You can give them away to market your product. They also give business unlimited advertising power.
3- Systems
Coastal has a very simple system and a ton of tools to make it work for you. In addition as it is your own business if you have the ability to market effectively you can run wild here. Understand that everyone loves travel so everyone is a potential customer. And every business could use the package to gain more customers, retain their existing ones or reward employees so if you create a system to market or follow the ones in place you will do extremely well.
Coastal is the real deal. If you are new and looking at the opportunity I open my door to you for any questions. Ive been doing this business full time for the last three years and have learned a great deal which I plan to share with as many as I can.

Now is a great time to get involved in Coastal Vacations. The travel industry is booming. In this time of a pending recession as it seems how about working from home? How about saving on gas? How about spending more time with your family? Coastal gives you those choices.
Do your research . This is a booming business in a box that anyone regardless of what they have done before can be successful at. Many even have options to get you started when your funds are low. So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
My door is open to anyone with questions. Feel free to browse these threads as well as contact any director directly with questions. Good luck and see you at the top.
