How many people in the system? It's been in business for around 12 years. What is it that really turned you off?

[NeedKarma]

What does "people in the system" mean?

[tjdooley7]

I quess I meant how many people are in it now? What do y do for living? I'm in real estate.
In North Carolina.

Sorry, I'm not interested.

You're absolutely right. As with anything, you get what you put into it. There will always be those who are unhappy no matter what.

Do your research, listen in to the calls and online presentations. Get to know the Coastal Synergy Group and go from there. There are many many people in our group that are creating well over $100,000 per year with this opportunity. There are also many people that are doing this part time and adding a few thousand to their household income every month. And of course there are those who have pre-decided that it won't work for them, and they are receiving exactly what they expected to receive.

The Coastal Synergy Group is an amazing group of people and in my opinion the place to be in this business. If you decide to move forward you want to be with first the right opportunity, second the right group and third the right director that is the best fit FOR YOU. The come and join us in Las Vegas at our yearly event this June, we'd love to meet you! CSG Training Events

Hi Annette,

As much as you want people to work under you I more concerned about this stuff:
Coastal Vacation Scams Equal Bad Vacations

Warning: Coastal Vacations Call Center - CMG (Coastal Masters Group)

[jnapier]

You really shouldn't allow a few people to cloud your own thinking. First, Do you know the people who've posted this? I know A lot of people who go around complaining about stuff... stuff that is their own fault.

If the grocery store closes at 10PM and you get there at 10:10PM is it the grocery stores fault that they are closed, or yours because you didn't get there earlier?

I know of the Coastal Call Center Group run by Jim Stevens. I have several people from his team who I've rescued from the BS over there. One "closer" told me she left because when someone asked her how many sales she'd made "0" was the wrong answer, and I agree.

I've been a part of the Coastal Synergy Group for about 3 - 4 years. They are a great group of people. I've had the opportunity to get to know many of the leaders and directors with the CSG.

If you are looking for a reason NOT to get involved, don't go looking online... just go to the mirror... your heart will tell you what to do.

I know I'm new but I just registered to let you all know that I checked w/ the BBB and it says it is a possible scam. I looked it up under coastal synergy group and coastal vacations came up w/ a DBA Coastal synergy. The BBB asked for earning claims and the company has failed to provide them. Check out the link below and find out for yourself. Like they say, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

[jam25]

I checked w/ the BBB it is the same company. You should check it out for yourself, it sounds like a scam

[jam25]

Again, all I have to say is check w/ the BBB. It doesn't sound like they can prove their earnings.

You mean like yourself and the other people who register here for the sole purpose to pump the company?

[Fr_Chuck]

Thank you jam25, no we have to laugh I guess some people come here to really ask about them, but we have a little history with them here, normally a brand new member who never posts anything else comes and asks about them, and within about 24 hours another new poster who has never posted anything else pops up and tells how great they are.
But if you will follow some of the links given above, or just do any simple web searches, the web pages and info about them fairly well speak for thierself.

[NeedKarma]

Chuck, I have a theory: they stopped responding to these threads hoping that they won't show up at the top of Google searches. :)

[HopkinsOne]

Lifesaver247 said Ambrotose, which has these eight sugars is now being taught in Med schools!!!!!
That is certainly untrue. It's not taught at Johns Hopkins, and I have yet to hear from any friends at other medical schools that the product is being taught (or used at all) at any other medical center.

About "glyconutrients" in general: first, the term was coined by a marketing company and is not used in the scientific literature. Second, while these sugars are important for the body, your body has enzymes to produce them all from glucose, meaning you don't need to eat the rest. They are all interconvertible unless you have a genetic enzymatic defect which would have killed you at birth unless your doctors and parents discovered its cause and supplemented your diet; even in this case, generally one enzyme is deficient, so the sugars in Ambrotose would still be unnecessary since you'd be taking single-sugar supplementation.

There is no evidence to support any of the health claims that have been made in this thread.

[matiasmommy]

Really and truly.. every time I come here the moderators are always repeating the same thing, don't have a clue as to what they are talking about and are spreading negativity and rumours under often thinly veiled "objectivity".

You can't believe everything you read on the internet, that is for SURE. But no one in the CSG is trying to convince anyone of anything because the FACTS and INFORMATION speak for themselves. Father Chuck- why don't you use some of your excellent research skills to see where those articles you are so fond of c&p'ing actually come from? What motivated the author? NeedKarma- yes, you seem to.

This is a real business. Sorry, but for as long as CV has been around and the providers that we are working with- we couldn't HELP but be real. YES, it is absolutely critical to know and understand what you are getting involved with and to do your research from the top down. Super critical to find the right director. No one I know in the CSG advocates anything but. Simple facts- my time IS valuable. I don't want to convince anyone to start their own business. If I had to do that, I would also have to convince them to run it, learn what they need to know and do whatever they need to do. I don't have time for that, not when there are many people that I'm working with that don't need convincing. And talk about walking into bad karma. I'm not into wasting my time or other peoples money.

There are less then reputable "directors" out there, doing all kinds of things that aren't quite within my own ethics. BUT you won't find them in the CSG. See the ethical policy and guidelines on all of our websites. Not to mention the anti-spam. Failure to adhere to either, and you are no longer proud to be CSG. It is of the utmost importance to not only find an ethical director, but one that is right for YOU to work with. Make a list of your needs and expectations, and before you join find out if they can deliver on them. Which is to say ASK the pointed and hard questions and listen carefully to the answers. Not only your money but how smoothed your future path in business will be depends on it.

I don't try to "convince" anyone of anything in my business. I simply get them the information that they request, as best as I can. In my experience, that is what the successful people in this business do. At least CSG people.

I've started my business last fall, worked at it, followed the proven system put in place by the CSG. Not to say that I have not had struggles. Nothing worth having ever came easy. There is no free lunch. No such thing as a stress free way to change your direction and future in life. There are no guarantees in this or ANY business. There is no substitue for hard work, taking risks, listening to experts who have gone before you and believing in yourself first. Your product second. Your director and system third. You need all 3! My results have exceeded even my own expectations. With my background, I was the queen of skeptics. BUT I did my own due diligence, research (over a YEAR'S worth) and a lot of soul searching. I made my own decision, for myself and by myself. I don't regret one second of any of it. I can echo the sentiment that I am a much more grounded, centered, happy and content and confident person- and not just because of the money. Joining the CSG is the second best decision I ever made, and truly a gift. (my daughter is the first).

Looking for a magic success formula? The prime ingredient is common sense folks!

To quote my daughters favourite storybook- You can be anything by Gary Craig:

"Don't listen to people who say that YOU CAN'T and shut your ears tight when they reason and rant. You will know on the day that your dream becomes true. That the reason it did is because YOU believed YOU"

Keep an open mind. Do your homework. Ask the questions. Get the facts. Then listen to your HEART.

You will create your own success, and my wish is that everyone find their personal version!

Actually, nk-- I would be very HAPPY to have them showing up at the top of Google searches. Anyone doing their research can read all the threads and see for themselves what is really going on.

I'm all for people gathering facts and doing their homework!

Actually Dreamer...

That is the better business bureau report for an Independent coastal vacations director and business owner by the name of Jessica Keele. The CSG not being a company but rather an organization doesn't have one.

Don't know her personally, myself. In fact I've never heard of her- so I can't comment on the quality or accuracy of the information. I can say that as I have not heard her on any group calls etc that she isn't very active with her business. We all run our OWN businesses and can choose to be part of the bbb or not. Coastal Vacations and the Coastal Synergy Group are professional orgaizations NOT companies. Each member runs an independent business.

What I recommend to people is to do a Google search for the directors name they are interested in. Then see if what they read makes sense and is consistent with what they know.

Check, check and cross check facts and information. Also be SURE to question the source. As they say, history is written by the victors. At the end of the day, there is no substitute for backing up solid facts with your gut feelings.

You are absolutely correct, sad but true there are far more scams and scammers out there then genuine, honest to goodness people and business opportunities. Its for me to think that even in my own business there are less then honest and ethical people. But, I can't control what other people do. At the day's end, there is no substitue for quality research. I highly encourage everyone to do just that. It took me over a year to do my homework, and I did LOTS of it. Granted, I'm a bit more wary then most- but I'm glad I did it because I made the right decision FOR ME and I have full confidence, trust and faith in myself, my product, my business model and the group of people that I have chosen to learn from and associate with. If I did not have that, I can guarantee that I would not be as successful as I have in the short time I have been in business.

Best of luck in your research Michel! May you find what it is you seek in your life.

And I am sure that when done correctly most MLM projects can earn people money....

EXCEPT that the Coastal Vacations opportunity is NOT MLM- therefore chances of success are much better!


As for bbb reports.. again we are independent business owners. Think about how a traditional franchise operation works- each business owner runs their own business under the parent company banner. SO, each independent director can have bbb reports, or even join the bbb if they choose.

Did you know that when franchises first became into existence, lots of people thought that new business model was a scam as well? It even became political! Just FYI!
