It’s Tuesday October 2nd, 2007 and Day 22 of my 90 Day Challenge.

As mentioned in previous posts - I’ve been under the weather and haven’t done a Vlog in several days - but what’s up so far is ready to view, rate, and comment on at YouTube.com! Feel free to go and catch up for when I’m FINALLY posting videos again!

With that said - it’s Tuesday and time for a good ol’ rant!

The end of this year will mark my 5th year of marketing Coastal Vacations. In a nutshell - Coastal Vacations allows people to vacation (among other activities) at wholesale. It’s a nice travel package and one that if used is well worth the investment of purchasing it.

When I started marketing the opportunity - I did so via a system. After only a few weeks - I was actually hosting the nightly live calls for it. I experienced some success with the opportunity - and decided it would be in my best interest to leverage my time by joining another marketing arm. That marketing arm was a Call Center.

At the time I was advertising every weekend in the USA Today - and was getting anywhere from 60 to well over 100 inquiries per week. So all I did was substitute my usual number for my new Call Center Number and Code in the ad I was already running. Monday rolled around - and when I checked my stats it appeared nothing had updated. So I called my upline and asked how many inquiries I’d had from my ad. He told me none. Puzzled - I asked, “You mean no sales?” But he meant NO calls or sales! I knew immediately something was up and although I’d qualified again - I ate the money right there and then and ended my involvement with them. And on a side note - I ran the ad again with my info and had over 70 inquiries the following weekend!

I bring that story up for a reason!

There are A LOT of systems, call centers, and auto-pilot setups for Coastal Vacations! And a lot of em’ are a joke! And to play Devil’s Advocate - a lot of em’ aren’t as well!

Another issue surrounding Coastal Vacations - is the differences in pricing. You can find individuals selling the packages at cost all the way up to “Buy-in” programs just under $30K! And EVERYTHING in-between!

So we’ve covered the systems! And we’ve covered the pricing! So now - let’s cover the marketing! Specifically - purchasing leads!

The company most widely recognized with Coastal Vacations sells their best lead at just under $11 per lead! Now a lead like this MUST be worth it right?!? WRONG! Are these leads better qualified than your average lead? Sometimes. But more often than not - they’re just as worthless as twirling your finger in the air and pointing to a name in the phone book! There’s even an area where people can list how much they’re willing to invest in a home business. I’ve received leads where they’ve put $500 in that section! This wouldn’t be that big of a deal - except the minimum suggested price of the lowest cost package is $1295!

Now to play Devil’s Advocate once again - you CAN be successful with leads. But it takes A LOT of time, patience, follow-up, sales skills, and action! And even then - you can call an entire batch without one sale!

Another point on these leads are you have to buy them in increments of $300 or more. That’s a lot to spend for most people just getting started!

The other thing about Coastal Vacations that makes it difficult for people in the beginning is it’s a 2-up. That means that if you want to market the opportunity - you have to pass up your first 2 sales to the Qualified Director that brought you in. Now - these two ups are called Training Sales because you’re supposed to be assisted in getting them and learn from the process.

All told - people pay for the package and need to start recouping the investment as soon as possible. But they’re faced with losing their first 2 sales and having to spend a lot to get their marketing efforts off the ground. This process can be the end to many people before they even get started!

Again - I’m going to put on my Devil’s Advocate Hat! It takes money to make money! You’re going to have to work at this! It’s NOT easy! Run from those that tell you it is! I like to compare it to buying a franchise. If you think you’re going to buy a franchise and get rich by not working it - you’re nuts! Can it work without you? Maybe. But not nearly as well if you’re right there in the trenches and investing in the marketing!

So with that said - what’s the best way to go?

First of all - buying and calling leads is for the birds! What you want is a system where you have leads and traffic coming to you! Not the other way around!

Second - you want a system where you can start making money right away!

Third - you want a support system that will be there for you and not go into the witness relocation program after your check to them clears!
