Al Opens Up His Toolbox, Testimonials, COA And Insurance. Doug Firebaugh Gets Serious About Putting Your Phone to your Mouth and Ear.

Al Romine talks about using the tools that work for you. Variety is the spice of life and Al explains how that same variety has caused the explosive growth that allowed Coastal Vacations to expand to over 100 countries. Leaders took the bull by the horns to grow the business.

I am amazed at how many ways there are to make your business grow. I believe when asked, over 1/4 of the room said they came into Coastal because they were a lead off someone's purchased lead list! Leads are huge, but there are many traditional and non-traditional ways to get leads, and convert sales with Coastal too.

Without all the MLM headache advertising rules, the door is wide open for creative people to blow it up in a good and big way. Even if you are not creative, just try something and stay with it long enough for it to show itself proven and true.

People who are succeeding have built websites, translated literature into several languages, taught different techniques and the tiny seed that was Coastal 12 years ago is now a giant sequoia tree. But accoding to Scot, only 20% of the population has been exposed to Coastal, which means 80% is ripe for the pickings. We will never be saturated!

While Al recommends plugging into the official website for updates, he also recognizes that it is the lack of rigid policies that has allowed the entrepreneurial spirited directors to explode the business.

For the Board of Directors sake, please always.. always, plug into the official coastal tools! check em out so you know what they are and use them...

Testimonials put a face on the success stories.

Dale, who is a Coastal Leadership Council member, shared why working for someone else left him unemployed several times before Coastal.

Lynn and Renea, from the Coastal Wealth Builders team, shared their stories of how two very ordinary ladies have achieved extraordinary success in the wholesale travel business.

Hoyt Farmer was recognized for his efforts that have helped to expand Coastal Vacations over the last 19 months. Hoyt didn't have time to share all the details of how he has brought success to the masses with the revolutionary Coastal Vacations Sales Center system. His group has earned well over $1 million in commissions and he has seen his team grow to over 1300 members. It was great to see his success and the success he has helped others achieve formally recognized by the board of directors. Note: The Board does not officially recognize any one system or group over anyone else. But they do want everyone to use their official Coastal tools.

Aaron presented an overview of the COA system, including the telecenter, websites and a well received preview of the new flash movie that will be added to the COA (Communications of America) system over the next few months. (from Jeff: The new COA flash movie is rad and I loved it!)

Got health insurance? Coastal does, and members got an overview of what's available including a new diabetic program. By the way what other biz opps have insurance, not discount coverage? Not any I know of... one more reason to join Coastal if you ask me.

Doug Firebaugh takes everyone to phone school to overcome that phone phobia.

For many the telephone is the heaviest item in their house. So heavy that they have difficulty lifting it to make the calls that they know can lead to success.

Even though Dean and I use a system of a sales center... We still talk to prospects on the phone. We still call our leads. And because of it, we make more money. People who chose to not call leads can make money in our teams systems and many others.. yes... but if you put some more effort into it, calling leads will make so much more. WHY? It is about connecting relationships and bringing people through a system of tools and information!

What to say, how to say it, and the phrases that pay, Doug laid 'em out and gave many examples that even left our closer friend Hoyt mumbling.... "Dang, this cat's got some skills, I like him and think I buy some of his warez!"

Copious notes were taken, and those that transform those notes into action can't avoid increasing their profits.
