When you have a professional position which involves selling, you have skills that are transferable from industry to industry. The specific product is not usually the key for the salesperson to be successful, as long as the salesperson stays true to themselves and likes and believes in the product or service being sold.

To sell timeshare or vacation ownership, most successful salespeople probably should feel comfortable with the concept of being paid on a commission-basis more frequently than being offered a salary. The salesperson prepared to get paid by commissions usually knows how to balance their at-home finances so that the fluctuations in paychecks will not put their bills in jeopardy.

If you’re like most people, you’ve heard the word “timeshare” and probably taken a timeshare tour at a vacation destination or maybe even at a local sales office in your community where they explained the product but you didn’t see the resort.

Surprisingly enough, there are many people who have never experienced a timeshare tour and the word timeshare and what to expect are a mystery. I was one of those people four years ago. I had never taken a timeshare tour and my only knowledge of timeshare was what I heard from people about buying a specific week every year to vacation, at the same resort, in the same sized condo. It sounded all too restrictive so I never investigated it for myself to see if it was a viable option for my life. I loved to travel and always wanted ways to do more and save money.

With vacation ownership or timeshare selling, when the customer says ” no” to your offer, you have a chance to find out why they feel the way they do and to help guide them back towards your desired response the your proposal to purchase “Yes.”

If you’ve been in sales, you’ve heard people say “no.” I find it fascinating to dig for the real reasons why most people feel so obligated to get that word ” no” out. It reminds me of the credit card commercials with actor David Spade, everything on the commercial leads to a “no.” What if you just tell the customer, I know that you know, that I know that you came in today to tell me ” no.” So, let’s just say the word together and get it out of our systems…” no.”‘

Timeshares attract people who like to travel. They are suppose to be a way for you to stay at beautiful resorts that you share ownership with and you get to stay at in most cases once a year. They can range anywhere from 15,000 to even $50,000. There are different types and there are some that you can stay at more than once a year.

Here is something that I discovered. There are travel memberships out there that let people stay at the same timeshares that many timeshare owners own, for even less than what owners are paying. These travel membership companies negotiate deals, make bulk reservations with resorts in advance and members of these travel memberships actually stay at these resorts at better rates than the timeshare owners themselves.

We normally take our vacation on the east coast of the Florida peninsula, so we purchased one week of timeshare vacation on Ormond Beach. It was near the end of summer season in 2005, and we had already taken our vacation that year so we decided to space bank our week until later.

Because my husband and I have owned a timeshare for the last 9 years, I am frequently asked by friends and business associates if it makes financial sense for them to buy a timeshare.

Consider this scenario: When you and your family travel, how much do you spend on hotel room in a nice resort? One family suggested that because they have two teenagers, they actually get two rooms, usually averaging about $150 per night, a total of $300 per night. So, a seven day vacation will cost him about $2100 for the week. Accomodations for the $300 per night stay were for a nice standard hotel room, with no kitchen or living room. And because of the limited amenities, a good sum of money is spent on food since they have breakfast, lunch and dinner in restaurants each day.
