Hi All,
Just wanted to drop by and say hi!
I have been traveling so much I have not been here so much.
This is a Coastal Vacations Club Forum, where all members of all systems can talk about, bash or not bash, encourage and or not encourage and sell their systems as they see fit.
There are hardly any rules here, and that could be good or bad. As Harold said, if this was a BOD only forum to talk about BOD issues, that would govern new rules and compliance per their member terms.
Trying to guess meanings and intentions in typed words is very hard and in forums many people say things in print that they in their head thought was clear and is what it was supposed to be, but it came out weird or off in the printed version and it makes people guess the intentions behind what was spoken. It happens.
You can see patterns in people's style over time, and through that, feel safe to make assumptions about what people say, but you could be wrong when you assume too.
Communication can be hard, so we all just keep dialoguing, and I think everyone here is gonna get a long just fine.
But, here's the deal, there is no boss on this forum. Jay wants it to be no talking recruiting forum. That's why I came here. Heck, Harold pulled in $20k off this forum. I would like some of that action too! .
There are suggestions, tips, hints, helps and there is also competition among us here.
Everyone who is in this forum is a competitor to me and to each other. I don't look at competition or competitors a bad, just different. I don't look at other people's systems or tools as bad, just different strokes for different folks.
Coastal is like Soda Pop, or Coke if you live in other parts of the USA.... Here is how.
There is Pepsi and Coke, both are cola, both do the same thing, refresh thrist and give you sugar highs, some prefer one or the other, but they both do the same thing.
Then there are off cola flavors like Vanilla or Cherry, which are liked by some but creates disgust by others to even think about putting that in their mouths. But it works for those who like the specialized niched Cola, so they go for it.
I say... PITCH AWAY....
I say... if you are gonna post here, be prepared to back up what you say, and if you make a mistake or speak out and hurt someone you make it right.
I say, share all your opinions and if you want to use this forum to recruit new people, so be it.
If you want to use this forum to keep the Coastal army abreast of the Official happenings so others can learn from it, coolio, keep sharing official BOD info so those who cannot get it, get some help.
I see many truths in how Harold feels and how Jay feels, good on ya both for just sharing opinions. If you all gotta beef, then deal with it outside of here, give a call to eachother over the phone and make sure you are all clear on stuff and on the same pages.
Any one can call me with concerns or help, I do my best to see what I can offer. I'd love to take some new people looking for a great biz opp into a plan with Coastal that I know works, as long as you work.
For the record, Scot and Hoyt sat down, talked about Call Center being endorsed by Coastal, and it is not a fit for what the board is looking for in a system. It is not compatible so, it won't be an official coastal tool.
Does not mean that it is a bad thing.
I think all the other groups have approached the BOD to get favors and endorsements, but in the end, there was never a way to make it a match or to make it fit. Certain people and groups think they can do a better job with trainings and online systems, so new sites and groups cropped up to compensate for what the BOD might have been lacking, some years ago (Coastal product laying on someone's shag run as a product shot), but that is all fixed now, as the BOD have a solid online marketing system finally. Plus great tools any one in Coastal can plug into at officialcoastaltraining dot come..
But certain people in the BOD don't like the call center or the people running it. The deliberately lie to people and proscpects when asked about it and create fear and conjecture, and that is because of competition. They want the sale. I don't think that is fair. I think the BOD should get paid big money to NOT be in Coastal, so they don't have to do that... but I don't think that will happen in my lifetime...
Heck, I have been passed over continuously by the BOD to acknowledge my success and contributions to Coastal, no one has invited me to speak on BOD calls, no one has given me a pin or let me serve on leadership council when I have told them I would for years, but they don't care. So anyways I have lots to offer people in Coastal, and I'll just do it my way, and serve those in my own system and I am cool with that and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
If any of you got issues with eachother best thing to do for all of us is leave that stuff off the forum and deal with it over the phone, so the forum can work to show people the rainbow of opportunities within Coastal.
