Hello folks...
I am looking at alternative ways to market the Coastal Vacations opportunity. I am already a Level II Qualified Director.
My question is:
What does it cost to join a call center if you are already a Coastal director? From reading on this forum and from searching the net, I understand that there are several call centers out there. Does anyone know what fees they are charging and what's included, etc. if you are already a director?
It looks like a lot of people on this forum use the We Close Your Sales call center. What is their take on this?
Any help with this question would be truly appreciated...
Thanks!
John

Hi John
Yes WCYS is one of the best in my opinion, they are ethical, stable and abide by the BOD guidelines and they give excellent training. The cost to join is $700.
I would suggest giving them a call or go to their website 1-800-378-1169 http://www.wecloseyoursales.com/
If you have any ques please feel free to ask.
Terri

Hi John, I was in same situation you are in now. I also joined the Call Center although I was already Level II qualified - I'm glad I did as I am in profit!
Although you don't have to buy the package again and Terri is right that there is a $700 cost to join, the total cost to get into the Call Center at Level 1 for example, is actually $1700. No re-qualifiying to do.
The breakdown is: $1K as a L1 commission to the Director you sign up with and $700 to use the Call Center. You don't have to buy the L1 pkg again for obvious reasons.
It works the same way to come in at L2 in the Call Center. Instead of the $4995 price tag, the total cost is $4200, which is $4995 (regular price) - $795 (Premier pkg price). No requalifying to do.
Hope this helps,
Roger

Hi Friends: Do any of you do BOTH the call center and CSG?
Take Care, Robert

how do you work that Terri? I am considering doing the same, but am confused about how to present the opportunity. I guess you could present both and then let the prospect choose????

John, the call center works WONDERFULLY! Friday I was just sitting at work checking my email and I got a notice that the call center had just ran a creditcard transaction through my merchant's account. I got a level one sale and I didn't even know it. I immediately called the call center and they gave me the details. They were actually getting ready to call me anyway to let me know about the sale so I would get right on the ball training this new member. I have spent about 3 hours with him on the phone this weekend geting him started. You will be happy with the WeCloseYourSales Call center if you choose us. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you. My email is [email protected] .

Terri, are you making sales through CSG or are you just using their training products?

Harold, yes I am offering sales thru CSG for those who don't want the call center and just want the package. I had one prospect that assumed he had to pay for the call center even tho I explained that he could just buy the package.
Plus with CSG I can sell retail on my retail site. CSG gives us several sites.

Hmmm we have been with them for a while and that has never happened for us. Wonder what you are doing right or what we are doing wrong.

If you're not qualified but are a member of Coastal the cost to get into the Call Center is $1700 for Level 1 with the regular qualifying requirements.....by the way pplrulz, how's it going? I know you got back on the Coastal horse again, so to speak. Are you still plugging away with the business?

Roger,
I am confused. If there is someone who is already Level 1 and Level 2 qualified, but wants to join the call center, what does he need to do?Quoting: roger It works the same way to come in at L2 in the Call Center. Instead of the $4995 price tag, the total cost is $4200, which is $4995 (regular price) - $795 (Premier pkg price). No requalifying to do.
He still has to pay full price but does not have to pass up any sales? Is that what you mean? Let me know because I am dealing with this right now. Actually, I am not sure he is qualified. I have to clarify that. Please advise.
Thx, Noreen

Hi Noreen, If he is already L2 qualified and he comes in to the Call Center at L2 then no he does not have to pass up any sales. The total cost in this particular instance is $4200 ($4995-$795).

Roger, Yes I'm back plugging away with coastal. Thanks for asking. I'm just trying to find methods that will work for me. when I first got invovled with coastal, I owned and was running my own direct sales biz. It made it very difficult for me to focus on coastal... Director problems was also an issue. I'm just patiently working it, and staying positive and not giving up. Thanks for all of your insight

Welcome back to Coastal!
Just keep on plugging away and stay positive! We are all here to help in any way that we can!
I see you are using Vacation Power - if you are with a group, which group are you with?

Lora, No one in particular... I found someone who was willing to give me a director's release if I gave them 2 sales... because my first director was a dud. All of you are right about finding the right director... I'm hoping it'll work out with this person, but if it doesn't... I will not give up. I'll find someone/group to work with.
I would like to find a method to promote the biz opp, that's cost effective. Any ideas.

Hi pplrulz,
I saw your posts a while back...I am so glad you decided to give Coastal another try!
I primarily call leads. With the training that we get through the CWB and the advanced training we get through Dani Johnson this has become extremely cost effective.
I know that there are a ton of ideas floating around the internet (many in other areas of this forum). Not long ago I came across an e-book with 116 free and low cost ideas in it. Also, the Coastal Vacations fax-on-demand has several marketing ideas listed.
I wish you the best!
Lora

Hi Lora,
How could I come across that e-book with the 116 marketing ideas? I'm going in soon and gotta be ready with as many tools as possible!
Thanks!
Joe.
