I am thinking about working for a resort selling timeshares to potential customers. Is there any money in this or am I just wasting my time. Its one that has several resorts their customers can use type.
Has anyone every sold timeshares for a resort ?
Didn’t you just ask this yesterday?
Selling timeshares is a tough business, it is hard core selling and high pressure sales techniques.
I know I couldn’t do it.
Selling Timeshares is tough and you need to be able to close a few before you start seeing anything coming in. If you are not a strong closer than I wouldn’t recommend selling timeshares.
I have done it.
Here is the deal:
You can make a ton of money. Depending on your skills. I know people who makes over $150k a year doing that.
But the job is definitely not for everybody.
It is a brutal sale, a lot of pressure and it does not compare to any kind of sales you have seen before.
For instance car sales are hard but you see people who walked in to your dealer by their own will and they are kind of interested and they will buy a car sooner or later.
In timeshare you see people who don´t want to be there in the first place, they were bribed with gifts to attend the presentation by a rep in the street, they know timeshare has a bad reputation, before they attend the presentation they (husband and wife) already made a decision and a “pact” that no matter what they hear they WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING NO MATTER WHAT, they intend to take their freebies and leave and the best part: you have to close the deal in one hour and a half (that´s how long the presentation last).
So if you can handle that kind of job…….and you are good at it……you deserve and will make over $100k a year.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Great post! I completely understand your question. Money is hard for a lot of people right now since the enconomy is going down. My friend told me about this website of an organization that gives people up to $1500 towards their rent or mortgage. It’s available in most areas, so I think you should check it out.
Hope this helps!
