While the ultra-successful Coastal Vacations Call Center has been the envy of the home based business world for over a year now, it is not for everyone.

This tongue in cheek look at the attitudes and characteristics that would prevent an individual from being considered a good candidate for membership was inspired by actual membership statistics. Members with a variety of backgrounds, skills, and failure rates with other business ventures, have been able to experience the success they seek with this system.

Here are the 10 attitudes and characteristics that would prevent you from being considered a good candidate for membership:

(1) You are an expert salesperson. Prospecting, presentations, follow up, overcoming objections and closing sales is easy for you and you also have the ability to reach and recruit the 5% of the population that is just like you.

(2) You enjoy working long hard hours because you feel working hard is better than working smart. Freedom and spending time with family is for the weak. In your opinion, those who allow account executives to conduct business for them while they sleep, travel, or spend time with their family are foolish. After all, you are looking to buy a job, not a business.

(3) You believe every negative lie strangers tell you about the Sales Center and you never feel the need to examine their motives. When shopping for a car, you are most apt to take the advice given to you by General Motors and feel they will give you honest, objective opinions about the Toyota, Ford and Honda you are considering the purchase of. You would take the lies you may be told about the Toyota breaking system at face value and consider them fact. The thought that you could pick up the phone and ask Toyota about the potential problem would never occur to you. Independent research is not necessary because you trust everyone to tell you what is best for you.

(4) You are completely self taught. Trial and error is the best learning system for you. You learned that the stove gets really hot by burning your hand and think everyone should learn the same way. Being taught by expert trainers and mentors that know the path you are traveling and can help you avoid the pitfalls so you can concentrate on activities that lead to success does not seem like a good thing to you.

(5) You are a control freak and don't ever delegate anything to anyone. You think there is way too much specialization in this world. You feel if your podiatrist is a doctor, that is good enough for you and he should do your heart surgery and dentistry too. You enjoy wearing all the hats. Being the chief salesperson, trainer, product procurement manager, marketing director, copywriter, accountant, and webmaster seems like a simple combination for you to learn and master.

(6) You feel uneasy about giving your new members a simple, duplicatable system that has produced record setting results for over a year. You think your recruits will be just like you. They will want to work like a dog, ignore all the personal rejection and gut it out.

(7) You have an unlimited budget. You see failing to make sales with expensive leads and co-ops as a learning experience. You like to buy overpriced tools from your sponsor and trust him or her 100% even though your first $15,000 has not produced a sale yet

(8) Bill Gates has nothing on you. You can easily build and tweak your own system that will robotically and elegantly educate and sell prospects for you.

(9) You feel most new members will be more comfortable sending a cashier's check made out to you personally at your home address. In fact, you think having a company in an office building collect the money for you, does not add to your prospect's comfort level at all.

(10) You believe earning too much money will create problems for you and utilizing such a simple system will not be fair. Even though Coastal members who moved from the old business style to the Sales Center business model report they more than doubled their income with less effort, you would prefer to work harder for less money because it builds character.

I Hope this humorous look at those that should not take the time to look at this record setting selling system, known as the Original Coastal Vacations Call Center, makes you laugh, or at least smile.

I know loosing money, spending endless hours away from your family, being stuck in a dead end job, and being confused about how to improve your situation is no laughing matter. My goal is to help open the eyes of home based business seekers wide enough to find a system that you can have success with.
