Club Sea Breeze – A Five Essentials Review
By Kurt Inagaki
This is the first of the “Five Essentials Reviews” forthcoming and ongoing. Soon there will be similar reviews on TVI, Diamond Holiday Travel, LGN-Prosperity, Pxyism, Dream Style Vacations, Royal Cruise Matrix, Life Path Unlimited, Wealth Masters International/Carbon Copy Pro, and more.
The structure of these critical reviews will follow the keys to analyzing network marketing opportunities established in an earlier article, “Due Diligence 101 – Five Essential Elements Key to Analyzing Network Marketing Opportunities”
ESSENTIAL ONE–The Company
Where are they located?
Corporate headquarters are in Kaysville, Utah, USA
Is their corporate presence legitimate and consistent with a multi-national, multi-million dollar company?
The company maintains, that because CSB is a family owned and operated internet business and in its first year, the company does not have the need for on site offices. Logical management team functions like legal, accounting, IT, programming, web administration are being directed by the management team, but delivered by 3rd parties, most of which are off-site and scattered around the globe.
Company ownership and/or management team, who are they, are they accessible?
Kelly Williams Family is both ownership and management team. The management team also includes a core group of founding associates.
Kelly, the members of his family involved into the CSB project and the founding associates are all readily accessible and are continually relaying ideas from and to the membership. Already major changes and enhancements have been implemented as a result of this cooperation.
Does the company and/or principals/management team have a track record and/or experience in the industry?
Kelly Williams and family and the founding associates have a broad spectrum of experience and a proven record of success in network marketing, internet marketing, financial planning, travel industry, business ownership, and private sector business operations.
Part of what makes Club Sea Breeze unique in its market is the fact that the company and opportunity have been put together with the associate first and foremost. This mindset creates an environment ripe for success for the typical associate as well as the mega-builder.
Most network marketing opportunities are using the model, network marketing, to sell a product and the opportunity side of the equation is put together to favor builders, waving the big payday out for them, but it isn’t readily attainable for the average person getting in and that average “Joe” isn’t likely to make much if any money. Some opportunities even count on Joe failing-sad, but all too often true.
What measures has the company taken, are they continuing to take to insure legal compliance?
Because CSB is located in the USA, compliance is a major issue and one that any legitimate opportunity has to not just address, but incorporate into its structure from the beginning if it’s aiming for long term stability and sustainability.
Through the guidance of two separate and independent top network marketing attorneys adn a leading attorney who specializes in the Travel Industry, all retained by CSB, the company, opportunity, and product suite have been developed and will continue to develop in compliance with current and known rules and regulations of the FTC and other governing agencies.
ESSENTIAL TWO–The Product
What market sector and specific niche is the company competing within?
Club Sea Breeze offers a suite of products that currently address two distinct market segments, Travel and Financial Planning.
What specifically is the product?
First, this review will only be considered preliminary until the specific partners and 3rd party providers can be identified. The Travel portion has three (3) components.
First there is a discounted travel booking portal for anything travel related, Air, Car, Hotel, Cruises, Special Events and more provided by a major industry player who is providing additional discount to CSB members, creating even better pricing.
Second there is access to a major provider of vacation condos, resorts and villas. Over 5000 properties worldwide to choose from. Weekly stays for CSB members are discounted heavily. Pay from $299-950 for the week, never more than $950, no blackout dates, no restrictions. The potential to save 2-3 times the cost of the lifetime membership in the first booking is a very real possibility.
Third CSB has contracted with the largest travel agency in Utah to provide specially discounted trips for CSB members and to also give additional discount to CSB members on non CSB itineraries the agency is offering.
The Financial Planning component is both a software package and ongoing program, which has won awards from BYU and is endorsed by Steven Covey, renown author of the best selling book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
This product also provides a residual income stream and 5th component to the compensation plan.
Is it in demand? Can the product hold interest on its own?
Short answer is YES. Success and demand in the Travel industry for opportunities and products is well documented and represents the hottest segment of the industry at present. There is no shortage of new opportunities with travel based products, and even some that offer the same or similar product. But only CSB offers this suite of products at this price. For example, the ability to book a vacation condo, villa or resort for a week for 4 for $299 versus the retail rate of $1300+ saves 3x+ the cost of the CSB membership. And that is a lifetime benefit. There are other opportunities out in the marketplace right now that charge $1000’s more for the same product and don’t have the discounted travel booking portal or the travel agency provided trips and the financial planning/wealth building and management program.
One determinant the FTC uses is the degree of real and perceived separation of product and income generating opportunity. In other words do people just get in because of the money they can make or is there real value to the product? In the case of CSB, there is real, perceived and true value to the product suite and there will be demand for the product alone.
ESSENTIAL THREE–The Compensation Plan
What is the investment? And are there any additional charges? Monthlies, autoship, etc.
Club Sea Breeze, as part of it’s ongoing commitment to remain compliant with FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and other regulatory agency rules and regs, identifies two separate and distinct classifications of participants, Members and Associates.
Members and memberships refers to participation in CSB benefits only, with no connection to the income opportunity. Members have lifetime access to CSB benefits for a one time fee of $349.00
Purchases can be made via credit card and other options to be announced. Commission payouts will be made via several options, ACH, bank wire, Pay Pal and for international associates a debit card.
Associates and associateships refers to participation in the income opportunity with an annual cost of $29.95 and includes a replicated website to market CSB, marketing tools, access to trainings, webinars, etc
You can be both member and associate, only a member or only an associate which is part of the compliance issue or in the case of CSB, not an issue since the income opportunity is separate from the product.
It is important to understand that each assoicateship is “activated” by a retail sale at $349 so that if you become an associate and pay for the year at $29.95 you will not be placed into a matrix and the system unless and until there is a retail sale connected to the associateship. Typically this happens when you purchase the membership and also choose to become an associate and your own membership purchase activates you as an associate.
However, an associate can also sell a membership to a retail customer who chooses not to activate an associateship and then use that sale to activate his/her own associateship and at that point enter onto a matrix and into the system.
How and or why does that happen? Well there are numerous scenarios, for example, you sell a membership or gift one to a family member who has no intention of using the income opportunity, in this case you, as the sponsor, retain the associate part of that membership and can activate it as an additional profit center (PC) at a time of your choosing. Or perhaps an associate/member sells several memberships to a group of customers in an assisted living facility who like to travel, but have no interest in the business, again, all of those memberships would have the associate part separated and conveyed to the seller or sponsor who would have the option of activating them or not.
Because the product suite will have genuine market demand, CSB correctly anticipates there will eventually be more members than associates, further strengthening it’s position of compliance with existing FTC rules and regulations.
How many positions are you allowed to have?
In CSB an individual is allowed to have one position per tax identification number, generally their social security number or passport number for international associates. And again, this is a compliance and legality issue. When you can purchase multiple ID’s under a single Tax ID this situation is considered non-compliant and you absolutely cannot do this in CSB.
Please do note however, when an associate makes a retail sale, they are allowed to activate the associate part of that membership as previously discussed.
The Math, can the compensation plan sustain itself on it’s own?
The CSB Matrix is a simple 2 x 2 cycler with some unique and powerful “tweaks”
Membership/Associateship costs break down as follows:
$349 less $15 personal sell commission less $69 to CSB and $265 matrix entry
When you enter a new matrix, 3 of 7 positions are already filled, a row of 1, a row of 2 (these are the filled positions) and a row of 4 empty positions. When all 4 are filled, $265 x 4 = $1,060 in revenue less $500 Personal OverRide less $250 Sponsor Over Ride less $45 to CSB, leaves $265 for entry into a new matrix.
In this way all monies taken in are accounted for and all commissions are paid from proceeds coming into the matrix, also accounting for a 20% operating margin for CSB..
What is needed to create the first $100,000
This question goes directly to how exactly do you make money in CSB?
Again, the compensation plan at CSB is centered around a single, short, 2 x 2 matrix that dills and cycles, quickly and easily. That’s 4 people, the matrix splits, someone gets paid and follows to their sponsor’s matrix AND that persons sponsor makes $250
The interesting “Tweaks” include: the ability to control the placement of your own Spill Over to help your team members
“Follow me” feature which has you following to your sponsor’s current matrix whenever you cycle and any of your personally sponsored people following you to fill the first available spot on your matrix when they cycle.
Spill up that will help you qualify quickly
Over ride Bonus that pays you $250 each time a personal sponsor cycles
These collectively combine and have the ultimate effect of helping even the average marketer, to make money as they build and not having to wait for the big pay day that most never achieve, while at the same time creating an environment in which a good marketer can generate massive income, quickly and efficiently.
There are actually 5 ways to get paid in CSB, the personal cycle $250-500 and the sponsor over ride at $250 are only two, there is also personal sell commission each time you sell a membership of $15 (modest, but something), a bonus pool based upon how many people you help cycle, which once earned is permanently earned, and finally there is residual income generated by the financial planning and wealth management program product.
The important points to know are that it takes only 4 people to enter and split the matrix generating $250-500 for the cycling person, $250 for their sponsor and that the maximum number of people is 11 and the minimum number of people you would have to personally sponsor onto a board to actually cycle and collect $500 is two (2), that’s right only 2. And that between sponsors placing spill over onto a matrix, the “follow me” feature and all businesses cooperating together to fill only 4 spots, quick cycling matrices will be the norm and not the exception.
As for generating $100K in annual income, break it down into approximately $8,500 monthly. Now this is strictly a mathematical exercise since no one has achieved these numbers yet because the opportunity is in pre-enrollment and commissions aren’t even being paid yet. And this is being used as an example of how the different parts of the compensation plan function.
So a few assumptions have to be made: First, although the minimum is 2 personally sponsored to cycle the matrix for $500 and the maximum is 11, for this example we will assume that number is, on average, 6. Second, not everyone in your group will work equally, but on average, this exercise assumes they each will cycle twice in a month. Given what’s on the table, these are very conservative estimates and very achievable assumptions.
Now mathematically you would need to cycle 16 times at $500 to make $8500, which at 6 people per cycle would mean 102 people. A daunting task for even an accomplished marketer. But the CSB comp plan pays you on more than just your own efforts.
So a group of 12 personally sponsored people, cycling two times a month would generate an income in CSB as follows:
Personal Cycle Over Ride
From original 12 positions at 6/cycle = 2 cycles or $1000
As a result of the “Follow Me” feature
12 positions x 2 cycles = 24 cycles at 6/cycle = 4 more cycles @ $500 or $2000
Sponsor Cycling Over Ride
12 positions x 2 cycles = 24 cycles at 6/cycle = 4 more cycles @ $250 or $6,000
Leadership bonus Pool
This activity has also earned the rank of “One Star Navigator” and 5 shares of the bonus pool
And again, the foregoing is only an example of one possible outcome based upon two assumptions and mathematical calculations which can and will vary when the compensation plan goes “Live”.
ESSENTIAL FOUR–The Marketing/Support System
Does the company provide marketing support, training, tools, etc?
Kelly Williams, owner and founder and one of the Founding Associates, Mike Leroux collectively generated a team in a prior opportunity of 17,000 plus associates in less than 3 months, largely on the strength of the support, materials, training, tools that they provided.
They will be bringing the same energy, professional quality of tools and training to CSB.
Associates for their $29.99 annual fee will be getting a replicated website to send prospects to, there will be corporate sponsored webinars on an ongoing and consistent basis; power point deck; recordings; webinar replays; support website, marketing scripts, resource database, extensive FAQ section and more.
Are there established teams which provide these same services, tools and mentorship?
Because CSB is being developed by actual marketers, in the beginning there will not be any need for additional teams to be providing additional trainings, however, eventually this happens with any opportunity since there are always strong marketers out there who want to do things their own way.
ESSENTIAL FIVE–The Model
Is this general model something I can work with? Can I see myself doing this? Is this something I can put my dreams and future behind?
Ultimately this is the “WHY” every marketer must answer for themselves. The company and model can do everything possible to make it easier to succeed, faster, but in the end analysis, it is still network marketing and as a marketer you do have to get out in front of people and share the opportunity with them.
And CSB helps to even mitigate this aspect by developing a model that actually has a component of other, unrelated businesses cooperating to help fill the current matrix-people helping people.
Club Sea Breeze has and continues to develop a product suite in demand in the marketplace, in demand for it’s value above and beyond and separate from the income opportunity.
CSB has developed a compensation plan unique in the marketplace. It is so unique and so powerful in fact that the company programming the software, in business 12+ years-developing compensation plan software for network marketing companies, was so impressed with the comp plan the owner is buying a position in CSB. When people who should know get that excited over your plan, you have a hold of something special.
CSB is founded and is being developed by experienced marketers who really are focusing on the success of the average person, while at the same time developing an opportunity irresistibly lucrative to an accomplished marketer.
And finally, CSB is being developed and originally structured to be compliant for the long term stability and sustainability of the opportunity. It is a family company, headquartered in the USA, with the guiding principles and values of work ethic, highest levels of service, ethics and integrity. CSB is truly interested in, motivated and committed to accountability.
In addition to your own effort this is exactly what you want from a company you are representing.
Kurt Inagaki is a Denver, Colorado native who passionately pursues fish with flyrod the world over and his hearts desire in Ukraine, much less adeptly, but nonetheless passionately. A business owner and 26 year veteran of the real estate industry, specializing in real estate appraisal, consulting and investing, he also co-owns a company providing travel support services, online educational and communication opportunities in Ukraine in addition to helping lead and mentor serious entrepreneurs in a top tier business. Which begs the question, what do a Top Tier Business, Colorado Real Estate and a company in Ukraine have in common? “I’m not sure, but every day is a wonderful adventure!”
