Jeff Mills Coastal Vacations Club Blog

If you have been on the net for a little while you know the travel industry is a very competitive $7 trillion a year niche.

There is almost a new MLM or Direct sales travel club starting or claiming it is the king of the hill.

The travel business opportunity market is fierce with lots of competition.
I got started selling travel certificates back in 2002, when I ordered a voucher for a 3 day 2 night stay from someone online. Then I realized I could sell similar certs and use them as premiums and incentives.

The money was not good, maybe .25-$5 profit per cert, depending on the volume.

But when I found Coastal Vacations,  back in 2004, I hit the jackpot.

My first year, doing a combination of smiling and dialing plus some good online marketing, I did over $200,000 in personal sales.

My next 3 years, I did over $1.2 Million in sales and the income came from an outsourced Sales Center concept that was so brand new, people flocked to it. It’s simmered down now, as many copycats have joined the sales center bandwagon. But a sales center is still a great option for busy people who hate talking on the phone and want to have work done for them. It is not for everyone either.
I use a sales center plus I use DFI. You don’t need to or have to do both, I am just saying it’s what I do and giving you full disclosure… Pick one or the other, but don’t do both.
So anyways…
I have been selling Coastal Travel memberships now for over 4 years. I also sell other products too, and even other related travel club offers, but I continue to sell Coastal because it continues to beat everything out.. even the new shinny travel clubs being introduced today.

Watch what happens when Johnny Bolton leaves Global Resorts, as he just announced.

He’s the Pied Piper and everyone wants to go with him blindly into a biz opp cause it the “new thing” in August 2008.

Everyone stares at the Shiny New Toy. But it’s not worth chasing cause there is still great systems for creating wealth that have been chunking along and I want the Tried and True, not the shinny and new.
I won’t be flinching. I am staying put, even though many of my friends like Matt Willis and Jay Napier think they need to move into this new deal.

Coastal has been and continues to be very good to me. I am not going to flip flip around.
There is a reason people keep coming back, again and again to travel and Coastal.

It simply just works! There are no higher commissions out there for a travel based business that can pay $9705 on a one time payment, that can bring in $29,000 with only 3 sales from that lead.

That’s a yearly salary from 3 sales!

• It’s not for everyone.
• It’s really hard
• Most people fail
• You have to work
• You have to engage people
• You have to improve yourself
• You have to do new things you don’t understand at first
• Lots of people say no….

But, it’s worth it. It’s totally worth coming back to, if you left it or starting fresh with, if you are looking for an opportunity.
So, what’s the Big news about Decide Freedom International?

Well they got some new recruiting and marketing websites that I think are some really neato stuff. I was able to consult with the creators on some aspects of the site and I was pleased to see them put some of the suggestions I made into the site, namely, the free vacation certificate and the think and grow rich ebooks as ethical bribes to give to people when they take an actions on the site.

Those are great and true valuable freebies. You can go to this Decide Freedom International (DFI) website and see a list of all the new enhancements, which I have never seen in an automated marketing system before.

I’ll post some of the highlights here of the DFI system.

It seems they have left the system created by Jeff Usner and have joined forces with two very large powerhouses… Cutting Edge Media and Networx from John Rydell. These two business conglomerates have been putting systems and tools in place for networkers for many many years.

Their marriage is one heck of a system that:
