On Page 1: What is Coastal Vacations and how is it different than multi-level marketing (MLM)?
How is compensation structured?
You will receive direct compensation for each discount vacation membership you market.
What is a reasonable expectation for earnings for a Coastal Vacations business in its first year? Long term?
Many associates earn over $100,000 or more in their first year. Some in their fifth year, through steady growth, are earning upwards of $500,000 per year. Individual results vary based on effort.
How long would you say it takes, on average, for someone to be able to turn a profit with this business?
3 - 4 weeks is average for an associate to really begin to earn a consistent income. Many, including ourselves, have begun to earn profit within the first week.
The system is turn-key, or automated, so that you can follow the system and be successful in your business.
How does one reach the Director level and what are the advantages of doing so?
You must first decide what level of income you want to qualify to earn. For example, our most popular level is the Premiere Combo (Level 1&2). After just two training sales you become a Director for life. As a Director you will receive profits of $1000 to $3200 from each travel membership marketed.
What is the minimum investment someone could make and still get in on this business opportunity?
The level of investment varies according to which of the three levels a new associate wants to start at.
- Discount Travel Package - Level 1
- Premiere Combo - Levels 1 & 2 (Most Popular)
- Platinum Combo - Levels 1,2,& 3 (Businesses/Corporations/Groups)
The lowest level, Level 1 currently requires an investment of $1295, although that's subject to change and I encourage your readers to visit our Website for current figures. While the higher levels require larger investments, they also provide additional income potential.
What kind of initial and ongoing support does Coastal Travel Group provide to those who want to start a Coastal Vacations business?
We provide one-on-one, ongoing support and training to each of our associates so that they achieve success to their fullest potential. We also provide a step-by-step training program which allows new associates to streamline their business, making it simple to achieve success. Training also includes state-of-the-art Websites and a personal back office, recorded information, movie presentations, toll-free numbers, training calls and many other tools associates can use to be successful.
There are many thousands of people out there doing this. Is it too late for someone coming in on the ground floor to reasonably expect to be successful?
As I mentioned before the travel industry is the largest growth industry in the world. Additionally, home-based businesses are started at a rate of one every 11 seconds in the United States alone. The combination of being able to offer a home business opportunity marketing a travel-related product should continue to be an extremely lucrative business indefinitely.
