Coastal Wealth Builders CWB Is a team within Coastal Vacation Club using their own systems and sites. Nearly two hundred people google search this group monthly. You could consider these as part of the number of people that search Coastal since that is what they sell. Their systems are similar to the systems in place and do a nice job training their people. Many CWB members use both the official system and also purchase CWB created websites.
Decide Freedom International DFI: Sub-group within Coastal Vacations using there private group techniques and sites. About 110 people Google search this group monthly. These also should be included with the number of people that search Coastal since they also market Coastal Vacations. They utilize some of the official marketing systems in place. They promote seminars held by Dani Johnson who is an incredible trainer in network marketing (I suggest hearing her at least once in your life also). However, I would not recommend sending your potential Coastal Members to a Dani event UNTIL you have brought them in-as I have come into contact with a few directors who have lost their potential team members to other coastal directors at such events.
Platinum 1 Destinations P1D – Coastal Synergy Group: Opened for business Jan 08. By the end of 2009 about 5,000 people google search this company monthly. Profit margins up to $7500. To be honest – In my research of this group I encountered dozens of inactive links to their websites which slowed my research. I do know that as the synergy group they were another sub group in Coastal Vacations and grew their team greatly. In fact the author here was actually a synergy member in 2005 when they were strictly Coastal-but to use the official Board of Director approved sites and training. The leadership of the synergy group opted to create a totally different system in 2008 totally separate from Coastal. Synergy members were grandfathered into this new system, unfortunately, I have come across several Coastal Representatives who joined the synergy group and had no access to the approved official Coastal Board of Director training and were left hanging and looking for ways to work their businesses or forced to work a new system they didn’t buy into. I am aware that nearly all of the successful P1D synergy group travel agents and P1D testimonials were former members of the Coastal Vacation Synergy Group. In fact, I have even heard them interchange their Coastal Testimonials.
Conclusion:
Coastal Vacations was founded around 1985, have never altered their pay plan, have the highest available profit margins up to $9705 per sale. They also govern themselves with a board of directors but maintain individual responsibility by staying an association of several hundred thousand memberships. They have a few notable sub-groups within Coastal such as DFI and CWB. Sub-groups have advantages and disadvantages(a disadvantage is like what happened with the synergy group). Obviously more people Google Coastal Vacations than all other travel based opportunities any where on the net. The Coastal Board of Directors also has a cookie cutter set up with complete websites, 800 tele-services, auto responders, movies, lead generating methods, approved lead vendors etc… The board of directors has a beautiful system in place negating any need for extra groups and whatever costs/risks associated with them. If you work this business according to the fully approved systems in place then you will see that CoastalPaysYou extremely well. In fact CoastalPaysYou so well that many people have fired their bosses after getting involved in this company.

Global Resorts Network GRN has been around a few years, never changed their pay plan, have profit margins from $500 to $1000 per sale. It is a great company, with an impressive product if marketing only to an end user, limited markets (only for end users). It is nice that you make an additional $500 -$1000 commission on every sale that a personally sponsored rep makes but that means that without that pay plan you could be making $1000-$2000 on each sale. If you are looking for a GRN rep contact me so I can introduce you to a GRN rep who is a 7 figure earner in the travel industry.
Platinum 1 Destinations P1D is a couple years old and has decent profit levels. It is hard to tell their performance so far though because most of their testimonials are from people who were in coastal vacations. Although new company start ups come and go by the dozens every year they have lasted their first year intact. We will see where their future lies.
