1) Why is this not MLM (Multilevel Marketing)?

Different from MLM, Coastal is simply Direct Sales. MLM is a marketing system whereby a person builds a downline of distributors to sell a variety of products, and then splits the commissions throughout Multi-Levels. Most often in MLM, there are meetings to attend, monthly purchases required, and it usually takes a large downline in order to actually make a sizable income. With Coastal, there are no monthly purchases, no hyped-up meetings, no requirement to inventory product and we don't split commissions. As a director, when you make a sale, it's ALL yours! Our commissions don't decrease on lower levels, and since they're so large, you can earn significant profit almost immediately. Another characteristic of MLM is that the company will most often hold your commission and pay you after a period of time (2 - 4 weeks). And in MLM, only about 5% make the money, the other 95% help them. With Coastal, you work for yourself, not for a company or an upline. Coastal will not send you a 1099 because they don't pay you anything. You get paid first. And YOU keep what you earn, not someone else!

2) How can you give all this value for $1,295/$3,500/$7,000 and still make a $1,000/$3,000/$7,000 profit?

Coastal has been in business for many years and we have significant buying power. And it is also in the best interest of all resort properties to make sure their facilities are filled to capacity, both for appearances sake, and to cover their expenses. Consider how the Vacation & Travel Industry works. The price of a resort stay, cruise, or an airline ticket depends entirely upon projected capacities and vacancy rates. A resort rarely achieves 100% capacity, and empty rooms cost them money. Resorts will reduce the room rates and create special packages to attract guests to their resorts because people will always spend money on restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and casinos. Realize too, that the Vacation & Travel Industry depends (more than most industries) on repeat business and referrals. They know that if you absolutely love your experience with them, not only will you come back again, but you will also tell all of your friends and family how great your experience was! Who hasn't shared family vacation photos with friends and family upon returning from a trip?

3) Do I have to approach my family and friends?

No. As an Independent Business owner you decide how you would like to market the Packages. However, most marketers become so enthused about this program, and the package itself, that they feel compelled to share it.

4) Do I have to quit my job?

No, many marketers continue their current employment until they reach the level of income they desire. Others choose to leave their profession sooner, so they can focus all of their efforts toward earning a faster return with Coastal. Obviously, this is a personal decision. But, the fact that your commission will be $1,000.00 to $9,705.00 makes the thought of being able to rely on this as your main source of income a greater reality!

5) How much can I make and how fast can I start to make it?

Are you ready to get started with Coastal Vacations? Obviously we could not make any income claims since you determine your level of income based on your efforts. However, many begin earning 1-2 thousand dollars their very first week. You can begin immediately upon submitting your completed application and order to your director, who will provide you with a Fast-Start Pack.

6) What is the product?

Our products are the lowest priced, most extensive vacation packages on the market. Our packages are so comprehensive it is difficult to put a value on them. The 'Level I' Package is easily valued at over $15,000, but we sell it for only $1,295. The 'Level II' Package is easily valued at over $20,000 and we sell it for only $3500. The 'Level III' Package is absolutely Priceless yet we sell it for only $7,500! We are constantly adding to the packages, which consistently increases their value. Travel agents and other companies have been known to sell a package similar to our 'Level I' Package for $2,500 - $3,500 and even more!

7) What if I don't have $1,295 right now?

You must ask yourself, "If I don't make an immediate financial change NOW, where do I see myself in 2 months?" In the words of Edward De Bono, "You can't dig a new well by digging the same hole deeper." In most cases, doing more of the same thing is not going to get you a different result! We may humbly suggest that, if it is difficult for you to in come up with $1295 to invest in your future, then perhaps that is the greatest reason to start this business right now. Were will earning $1,000 to $7,000 or more a week put you in 2 months?

8) What do you mean by "this is typically sold timeshare-style"?

After hearing a timeshare presentation, if a potential client decides not to buy the timeshare, he/she is usually given the option to purchase a custom package similar to Coastal's. However, it's never as extensive or inclusive of so many bonus vacations, and they sell these packages for double or triple what we offer it for.

9) Let's say I'm not a salesperson - how can I be successful?

There really is no selling involved. You're just an information tour guide. Our powerful system does the "selling" for you. You can earn a couple of thousand dollars a week from home by placing ads, waiting for people to call your voicemail, and then returning their call and simply providing them with access to the same information you have been exposed to. Your Complete Marketing System, including 800 Voicemail, Websites, Flash Presentations, Auto-Responders, the Fax on Demand and the Conference Calls, will do the selling for you!

10) I never owned a business. How can I be successful?

Most of our associates were in a similar situation. Do the same as they do: use the tools that are provided and direct people to these quality tools. Since the majority of people spend many hours each week working for an employer who collects the profits, you can apply a portion of that same effort to build your business by following our proven system and you'll receive far greater rewards. Your investment of time and money will return to your own pocket, not your employers!

11) How do I know this isn't a scam and it won't shut down tomorrow?

The companies that you will be representing in this package are some of the most respected and ethical companies in the vacation and travel industry. Coastal only works with companies who are licensed and bonded: in addition, most of the companies that you will be representing with this package have been in business for the past 12 to 25 years. We welcome anyone to check out each of the companies we represent and see for themselves. Their long track records, filled with excellent customer service and the utmost integrity, will impress even the greatest skeptic. We also use such a large number of companies that it is unlikely a concern with one company would affect the entire package. However, should a concern arise with one of the companies, the Board of Directors will see to it that a backup company immediately takes its place.

12) Am I guaranteed to succeed?

As with any business, nobody can determine your success but you. Although you will be provided with the best tools, marketing systems and support, what to do with it will be entirely up to you. We do not, and could not, guarantee your success. 'You can tell a person where the Gold is buried, but you can't make him dig.'
