The Leisure Industry

Holli Diel asked:
Many like yourself, want to know, Is Coastal Vacations a vacation bonanza, or will I be left with nothing but sand in my pockets? In this Coastal Vacations Review I will be taking a look at three important issues that should be of importance to anyone looking for a Home Based Business Opportunity, and they are:
1. Sponsor Support
2. Enrollment Fees
3. Customer Service.
I want to say here that if you are already involved in the Travel Industry field and are a seasoned marketer, you might do very well with Coastal Vacations, however, if you are a new comer to Internet Marketing, you might find that selling this package will be like selling ice to an Eskimo.
Coastal Vacations is located in Kissimmee, Florida and was founded by a successful entrepreneur by the name of Fred Combs. Combs clearly realized the upward growth of the Travel and Leisure Industry, seized the day, and created this travel-based company that offers vacations at reduced rates.
Here are three issues that should be of importance to anyone considering joining the Coastal Vacations opportunity.
#1. Sponsor Support With any Online Marketing Business, your first two sales are with out a doubt the hardest to get. With Coastal Vacations 2-Up program, your first two sales, in the amount of $2,000 go directly to your sponsor who recruited you. With Coastal, I found there to be no compensation plan in place to make sure that your sponsor stands by their new member. With no monetary incentive in place for them to keep helping you, they most assuredly will receive their $2,000 and be off to find the next person to give them 2 qualified sales, leaving you are flat out of luck my friend.
#2: Enrollment Fees: Whats so nice is that Coastal Vacations offers three different payment levels of service. Domestic and International travel options are available with the 3 packages and you can earn $1000 - $9705 per sale. The packages Level #1 will cost $1295 and from there, the fees will go all the way up to $11,000, however, this $11,000 fee does include Levels 1,2 and 3.
#3. Customer Service: Heres the deal, if a Coastal Vacations travel member has a problem, you the Rep/Agent, will be the one handling the problem call, period. There arent any particularly good reports that I could find about Coastal Vacations customer support system. I dont know about you, but I have much better things to do with my time than handle customer service issues.
In Closing, I believe that only highly skilled Marketers with Coastal Vacations will succeed because there isn’t an incentive in place for sponsors to teach and help the new members once they receive the $2000 from you. While a few do make some money, the majority are either off to the next home based business opportunity or back to focus on their J.O.B. In order to make an income with any Internet Marketing system you must have a dedicated sponsor that will stand by you and teach you the ropes. A word of advice here is to always check The Better Business Bureau and other government agencies as they maintain lists of coastal vacation scams you can review along with many other home based business you might be thinking of joining.
