The Benefits Of Owning Vacation Ownership

In today’s economy it makes plenty of sense to own a timeshare. Have you checked out the prices of vacation homes lately? It’s just out of reach for today’s average families.

Most families really have 2 to 4 weeks vacations a year making the vacation home more of a burden the rest of the year. Let’s not forget that an average family will only use the vacation home only a percentage of the time while they bear 100% of the cost of purchase as well as 100% of the maintenance costs.

Red, White or Blue Week?

Did you know that owning a blue week sometimes has more advantages that a red week? Well it’s true.

What I am about to tell you is not something you will hear of at any Timeshare Resort. I should know, I spend over 20 years selling timeshares. You hear of people complaining that Timeshares are a ripoff or they simply don’t work. Those are the people who just don’t know how they work or bought at some undesirable location. If you had the choice in 2 locations for your vacations, which would you choose, Hawaii or Manitoba?

Given The Choice Take The Exit Program.

The vacation ownership industry offers many lucrative employment opportunities if you know where to look or know someone already in the business.

There are always positions available for good sales consultants, TO’s (closers), as well as managers. If sales is not your cup of tea, then the marketing department is always on the lookout for phone reps, promotional agents or OPC’s (off property contacts).

Now if you’re like me and sales is no stranger to you then may I recommend Exit sales consultant. Sure your commission is less than a TO’s but then again the Exit program usually sells for about 80% less than the TO’s full program!

When The End Is Near You Will Be Offered An Exit Program.

During any vacation ownership (Timeshare) sales presentation whereas a closer is unsuccessful at closing a full sale, an Exit or Trial Program is then offered.

Exit or Trial programs in the vacation ownership industry come in different forms. Some programs offer a number of weeks to be used for a fee. That fee is over and above the initial Exit program purchase price.

The purchase price for an Exit program will range from $495 to $5000 and sometimes more. Whereas the use of a week will range between $250 and $800 per week and that’s not high times (X-Mas, March break, etc.).
