Coastal Vacations Scam Review

As I started investigating the Coastal Vacations business
and whether or not it was a scam or legitimate opportunity,
I found some very interesting points about the advantages
and disadvantages of this opportunity.

There are a few points that should be considered before
beginning with Coastal Vacations, or any other company for
that matter.

Point 1: Who's making the company decisions?

Coastal Vacations has a board of directors who vote
together to make decisions about what comprises the Coastal
packages.

Point 2: How much is it going to cost me?

The product packages available for purchase have widely
variable price tags. The Level I or domestic travel
package sells for $1295. Packages go all the way up to the
Platinum Combo Package for $11,000. The Platinum package
is a combination of the Level I, II, and III packages.

Point 3: How much can I make?

Members may choose to market the packages themselves
through direct sales. They earn $1000 per Level I sale once
they are qualified directors. To become a qualified
director means that you have to have 2 qualified sales.
This means that your first two sales of $1000 each are
passed up to your sponsor before you start earning any
income at all.

The second option is to use the Coastal call center to do
your selling for you. Basically, to utilize the Coastal
Call Center, the price of each travel package is increased
by $700, which goes directly to the call center to pay
salaries and administrative costs. For instance, the Level
1 package which normally retails for $1,295 will be sold
for $1,995, and must be advertised as such. A hefty
increase for the consumer for the seller's convenience.

Point 4: What kind of training support will I have?

This is where we reach the negatives of the two-up
compensation plan. If a newly started Coastal
representative does happen to make the first two sales,
they break away from the sponsor who enrolled them in the
business. They then become qualified to earn 100% of the
$1000 commission on all further sales.

It sounds like a win-win situation for the sponsor and the
new representative right? Well maybe not. What happens
more often than not is that when the new representative
breaks away from their sponsor, that's where the training
and support ends. The sponsor no longer earns any
commissions on the new representative's efforts, so
therefore has no incentive to help them continue to make
sales and have success with the program. They actually are
then directly competing with one another and the teamwork
ends.

In conclusion, Coastal Vacations has some great selling
points, like vacations at a reduced rate. However, the
travel industry is highly competitive and might intimidate
the new representative. Another concern arises with the
compensation plan. Newbies beware! If you are looking for
a lot of support and guidance this probably isn't the
program for you. Once the sponsor receives your two
qualified sales it's hard to say if the training will
continue when they no longer make money off of you. It
just makes sense really. They're off to find the next
person to give them 2 qualified sales. Two-up programs
like Coastal Vacations are not for the faint of heart, but
really may be better off for the experienced internet
marketer not as concerned with support and training.
