Coastal Vacations was founded by a successful businessman
and entrepreneur by the name of Fred Combs. Mr. Combs saw
an incredible opportunity in the quickly growing industry
of Travel and Leisure and moved on a lifelong dream to
seize a vast amount of the arising market. Vacation and
Travel has become the third largest retail industry in
America (alongside Europe, Asia & Latin America), and is
expected to continue it's rapid growth as the wealthy Baby
Boomers retire and continue to take more vacations.
Coastal Vacations offers unbeatable values on incredible
vacation packages at wholesale prices. For more than 10
years, Coastal Vacations has been offering comprehensive
travel packages & providing their club members with amazing
benefits and services that are unmatched in the travel
industry.
Based in Kissimmee, Florida, Coastal Vacations offers a
home business opportunity by marketing their vacation
packages through the direct selling industry. The Coastal
Vacations product line consists of three (3) different
levels which offer many different vacation packages that
offer travel to select destinations around the world.
Level one (1) has a starting cost of $1,295.00.
The Coastal Vacations business opportunity uses the 2-Up
compensation plan. At the Level 1 Club Membership, the
earnings for a Coastal Vacations Club qualified affiliate
is $1000 for every $1295 sale made. There is a requirement
of two sales (hence 2-Up) before a personal commission can
be earned. So, to get started with Coastal, a new person
must first pay $1295 to join to become a representative.
Then they must pass along $2,000 ($1000 x 2) from their
first two qualifying sales to their qualified sponsor. In
essence, they must give up $3,295 before they can earn any
money with Coastal Vacations. The 2-Up program is
well-liked by many, however, if you join Coastal Vacations
and bring in someone who makes a sale or two per day, keep
in mind that you will only only get their first 2 sales and
then you will no longer get paid on their efforts. After
your newly trained affiliate passes you their first two
sales, they will then breakaway from you (their sponsor)
and actually end up becoming your competition. This doesn't
give the qualified Coastal sponsor very much motivation to
help the new associate since they will ultimately become
their forever competition.
On a more positive note, Coastal Vacations does offer an
optional call center (at an additional fee) that will take
calls for the busy vacation business owner. The sales reps
are well trained & work hard to close sales for the Coastal
Vacation Club Business owners. This method is more
professional when a marketing lead calls in, and it gives
the home based business marketer time to focus on
advertising to send leads to the call center.
As a fair review, Coastal Vacations offers a nice variety &
selection of vacation destinations. However, the
compensation plan doesn't make room for team synergy and
you can't leverage the affiliates you bring in. Many people
struggle with a 2-Up program while waiting to make that
third & fourth sale just to break even. If you are a
seasoned Internet marketer and you don't mind spending
$1,295 and then passing up your first two $1,000 qualifying
sales, then the Coastal Vacations Club business might be an
okay fit for you. Besides Coastal Vacations, there are
many other online business programs that do not require you
to give up two sales before making money. Remember, the
best way to make money online is to learn how to drive
massive traffic to your website and then offer the best
program and training available. A program that makes
complete sense & entices the majority of people searching
for an online business to join with you.
