With the growing shift from corporate America to home based business, everyone seems at least mildly intrigue by the proposition. Work from home… time freedom…lots of money…Everyone claims they “have the perfect home based business”. But usually after the fine print, it turns out to be just another scam, pyramid, gifting program, or impossible for the “average Joe” to really be successful in.

Coastal Vacations claims all those things also – the intriguing thing here is that they actually produce.

June 11th 2005 -- There is a boom in home based business activity and, according to the US Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy; fifty-two percent of all small businesses are home-based. Newsweek magazine reports that it is anticipated that 50% of the households in the United States will be involved in home-based business by the year 2005. With all those people out looking for a legitimate opportunity the question becomes, “What makes a great home based business?”

When the Dann family from Lisle, NY was looking for a home based business opportunity they had very specific criteria. After many failed attempts with many different opportunities and many thousands of dollars later, They had not found the perfect business.

Their criteria included stability, not multi-level marketing, low up-front investment, support and training with a system, product with real value, and finally a high profit potential.

There are many companies out there that claim all these things but very few actually deliver. Most home based businesses thrive on “recruiting”. These companies really do not have a product that can stand on its own. The way that one makes money is to recruit. One recruits his friend who then recruits his friend and so on. The product is of no real value except that it is an end to a means. The focus of the business is getting people who then get more people. Their ideal company had to offer a product that if one ever recruited a sole, one would still make money and offer value to customers.

They knew this was a tough order to fill and was growing weary that one actually existed. Then they found Coastal Vacations. Being terrible skeptical at first, they put it through the checklist: 1) stability, 2) not multi-level marketing, 3) low up-front investment, 4) support and training with a system 5) product with real value, and 6) high profit potential.

Stability to them meant that a company has been around at least five years. Coastal Vacations has been around for 11 years. So that passed the first criteria.

The second criterion was “not multi-level marketing.” They have nothing against multi-level marketing. It is a great marketing strategy and can make some people a lot of money. But typically it takes several years to really build an income and most people just do not have the knowledge, support, or tenacity to get to that level. Coastal Vacation is a direct sales company which wholesales a discount travel package to the distributor and they retail it to the customer. There are no residuals, no splitting commission. Once one becomes a director with Coastal Vacations, one never shares commissions with anyone. Number two passed.

Third in their search for the perfect home-based business was low up-front investment. Being able to market the Coastal Vacation package is free. You pay nothing just for the privilege of marketing the product. The only cost is buying the product. Coastal Vacations does not want people marketing a product that they do not own themselves. But there are no other fees to get involved. No franchise fees. If one never wanted to market the product one would still have something of real value that can be used and enjoyed.

Fourth on the list was support and training with a system. This is provided through the director training program. If one does decide to market the product, one is personally trained by a director that helps complete that person’s first two sales. After those training sales are complete, no profit is shared from then on. The director retains those two sales as payment for training. So there is no out of pocket investment for training. Also one is not handed a big manual and just told read it. This is hands-on, one on one training. That was very appealing to them.

The next criterion was there had to be a valuable product involved. They were not interested in selling a dream. They wanted to market something with real tangible value. Coastal Vacations definitely has that. The Level I package has 5 Cruises, 25 vacations, and 20 discount travel cards. This package has a retail value of $15,000.00 and the investment is only $1,295.00. That is about the price for just one of the cruises in the package. The Level II is the international package with a retail value of over $20,000.00 with hundreds of international destinations to choose from and that retails for $3500.00. A combination of the two packages together, a Premier Package, on the initial purchase is $3,995.00 with a savings of $800.00.

The last criterion was the most important. How much money can someone really make? This is best part of the Coastal Vacation opportunity. On every Level I sale, $1,000.00 is paid in commission. On Level II package sales, a $3,000.00 commission is paid. Just buy your package at whatever level you want to market, complete you two training sales and you are making either $1,000.00 or $3,000.00 on every sale. This really got their attention. Cynthia said, “Nowhere have I seen a business that you invest so little and can consistently and immediately make $2000.00 to $3,000.00 per week. It only takes one sale after your two training sales to get almost all of your investment back. Two sales after training and you are in profit mode.”

After verifying that all this above information was true and correct, the Dann’s bought a travel package and made Level 1 director their first 2 weeks in the business. One year latter Cynthia Dann says she never looked back. "This was the best business decision we have ever made". Our first full year in the business earned us over $80,000 working about 12 hours a week from home.

Fifty years ago the average family had little debt, it took 5-6 years to pay off a house, and a large majority of them owned a small business. Today the average family carries $20,000.00 in credit card debt, and it takes 30 years to pay off their house. Lay-offs are high and “job security” is a myth. Many Americans are in an active shift to reverse this and start their own home based business. Cynthia & Dougla Dann found the perfect business in Coastal Vacations.
