Coastal Vacations Director Dean Marino Reveals How To Avoid Being A Scam Victim

May 13, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Prospective home based business owners are like sitting ducks in the scope of scam artists looking to separate them from their money. They are easy prey because they are so anxious to earn money from home, that they will believe all the lies that they want to hear.

Ombudsman Coastal Vacations Director Dean Marino has grown tired of hearing the stories of scam victims after it is too late for him to help them, and has dedicated himself to educating them. He hosts Q&A conference calls for the Coastal Vacations Sales Center. the largest and fastest growing group in the Coastal program. He has published articles about avoiding home based business scams and also co-hosted the first ever podcast to originate from a Coastal Vacations training event earlier this year to help inform members and prospects around the world.

After eleven years, Coastal Vacations is flying higher than ever in the home based business arena. Over the years the most common complaint from new members has been the same. Many new members continue to complain about the lack of support they get in their business start up. Marino explained that many new members in the traditional Coastal Vacations business are unaware of the amount of support they will require because they are sold on how easy things will be. They are often told that sponsors are able to earn large incomes on a very part time basis and that no selling skills are required.

Here are some of the lies scam victims have been told:

(1) “I make lots of money working just 17 hours a week.”

(2) “It’s not about selling, the product sells itself.”
(3) “It’s easy money, but I’ll be there to help you all the way.”



Marino urges potential victims to do a little simple math and use some logic. The sponsor took some time to do marketing so you would contact him or her. They then took more time to answer your questions and will use some selling skills to close your sale. Maybe they will offer a free gift, leads, or some other inclusion close. They have promised to help you and have told you they have a big successful group. The problem is, it takes lots of time to properly train a large, successful group.

Remember, these new associates have never owned a successful business before and they need to learn how to wear all the hats involved. They are now marketers, fronters, salespeople, closers, product specialists and place product orders. They will be the accountant and chief trainer for all new associates. So how does this person fit all of this into the 17 hours they say they work each week? It is a simple question that eludes the scam victims because they really want to believe the lies they are being sold.


New home based business owners face enough obstacles while striving to make a brand new business a profitable business. In fact, 95% of all home based business startups fail to ever make a profit. The statistics are not much better for new businesses that are not home based. Making sure all the support possible is in place, and will be available when needed should be a paramount concern for anyone starting any type of business.

Marino utilizes a hybrid Coastal Vacations business model that has revolutionized the home based business industry because of the maximum support the system provides.

The California based Director explained that there is no substitute for a dedicated sponsor. That is why Marino works his business full time. He does not market other products. He attends all the official Coastal Vacations events and is very involved with the largest and most successful group in the program.

Marino hosts live and recorded training calls and prospect Q&A conference calls each week. He answers his own phone and is available for private consultation with his group members 7 days a week. In fact, Marino often jokes that his phone is only turned off when he is in church, in a movie, or on a plane. He explained; "My group members have made a commitment to me and I am dedicated to providing all the support."

Those who join Coastal Vacations with Marino, don't just get his personal support, but also get massive support from the ultra-successful business model he joined over a year ago. The Coastal Vacations Sales Center provides the maximum support possible and they continue to add cutting edge tools to their ever improving system.

Support is the key to Coastal Vacations success and while Dean Marino offers the same great travel products with an 11 year track record for quality, the support system he provides is head and shoulders above the rest. A robust training website with hours and hours of audio, video, and written training. Live training calls are provided each week and prospect Q&A conference calls that explain Marino's maximum support system are provided 4 days a week. The plug and play ready marketing system can be up and running almost immediately when new members come aboard and live support is provided by Marino 7 days a week and the live staff members at the Sales Center are available at least 5 days a week.
