How To Transition From Mortgage And Insurance Sales To Vacation Ownership Or Timeshare Sales

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.

The Death Of Timeshares

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.

California Vacation - Part 1 Of A Day By Day Diary

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.

Later is 2007, and we combined our 2005 week with our 2007 week so could have a longer vacation in California. Usually it is difficult to get two weeks back-to-back when you swap through RCI, but low and behold they had availability in the Palm Springs area. We would have to swap from one condo resort to another after the first week, but it was only a few miles away so we took it and bought airline tickets online. Then, we settled down for a long winter’s nap while waiting for our vacation date to roll around.

The Birth Of Timeshare - A Marketing Genius

Which ever way you look at it Timeshare was and still is one of the marketing geniuses of our time. Way back in the early sixties a hotelier in the French Alps started marketing his hotel with the slogan “Why rent a room when you can own the hotel. It’s cheaper” and that was it. The birth of a concept that rocked the holiday industry.

The concept was brilliant. Each buyer would own a share in the hotel (Shares were divided into weeks of accommodation throughout the year) each owner would contribute a yearly amount towards the maintenance of the hotel and hey presto there you had it, deeded fixed timeshare. The hotel was sold and the Hotelier had a guaranteed clientele with all his overheads and up keep paid in advance. The only downside was finding enough people who wanted to holiday in the same place every year.
