Coastal Vacations Director Dean Marino Warns About Part Time Directors
May 31, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
California based top level Coastal Vacations Director Dean Marino warns those considering a career with the top rated home based business to consider the importance of support. For over 11 years the common complaint on conference calls has been the same—-lack of support.Marino champions an ultra-successful hybrid Coastal Vacations business that provides maximum support to business owners 7 days a week.
Many start a Coastal Vacations business with the first person that contacts them. They go into business with someone who seems like a nice person. Perhaps the sponsor is good at closing sales or even offers some sort of a free gift. Is that how Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and the Maloof brothers choose business partners?
Marino noticed that sponsors tend to sell the business to new members based on the promise of free time. The recruiting sponsors boast of earning six-figure annual incomes with 17 hour work weeks. Marino explained that the new members seem to fall in love with the dream of all that free time, but they fail to see the other side of the coin.
Will a sponsor who admits to working part time be available when the new members have questions? Will they be available for 3-way calls Thursday afternoon? What if the only days you can work the business are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and your sponsor does not work those days?
Marino is amazed that so few people consider the support issue. He sees that lack of support is the single largest factor that leads to failure when starting a new home based business.
Marino admits that the ability to earn five figures every month working part time hours is a big draw, but the truth is that it requires the mastering of several skills in a traditional home based business and that takes time.
Interestingly enough, Marino explained that; "many new Coastal Vacations associates have never owned their own successful business before. In the traditional business model, that means they must wear all the hats for the first time. They are the marketer, salesperson, follow-up coordinator, closer, product procurement manager, accountant, copywriter, webmaster and chief trainer. That is a daunting set of skill sets for them to acquire and that is why the overwhelming majority of them fail to ever make a dime."
Some of the new business owners have the time, patience and intelligence to learn and master the skills, but soon learn that their part time sponsors don't have the time to teach when the new business owners have time to learn.
Others simply can't devote the time required to learn all the skills. Making the traditional Coastal Vacations business profitable is way more involved than the new business owners were led to believe As Marino said "Most are uncomfortable asking for the sale and the money, and unfortunately in this business, if you don't ask for it, you don't get it."
With Marino's hybrid business model members are taught specialized knowledge in marketing and advertising and later help pass that knowledge on to new members. They are not required to perform presentations, follow up, ask for the money and close sales. Account executives handle that part of the business for them and send them a check for each sale completed. Employees at the Coastal Vacations Sales Center also ship the travel packages to new members and they also plug those new members into the robust training website and live training so they can start learning to market effectively.
Business owners with a desire to be more involved with their business, increase productivity with the hybrid system. While part time sponsors may only be available 17 hours or less a week, the hybrid maintains a full time staff that is available for 3-way calls. Marino is available for coaching and one on one mentoring 7 days a week with his group.
The training and support provided by Marino and the Coastal Vacations Sales Center is second to none. Marino provides his group with proprietary tools to give them a quick start. Training on CD, DVD, training e-mail, plus live training calls and Marino's one on one mentoring. The Sales Center has assembled leaders in the industry, including Marino, for live and recorded training. They provide a robust training website, and of course the live staff.
