O.a. powerpoint
- 1. You may be a victim of unethical sales practices. You may not be responsible for your mortgage. You need our service……………………
- 2. Thousands of people Each year find themselves at sales presentations for timeshare properties. Many just go for the free gift. Many just go for the free vacation. Some for an “update” meeting Some to hear how more points/weeks will be a great advantage. Many leave with a financial burden they will carry for the rest of their lives.
- 3. Smooth Talk………….. The well dressed, good looking salesperson greets you at the door. He or she will introduce themselves with lots of smooth talk. Whether this is your first presentation, or you are a seasoned timeshare owner, you can rest assured that talk about your family, your hometown, your favorite sports team is commonplace. In that first half an hour, you feel like you have found a new best friend. You may think to yourself, “Wow, half of the presentation is over, and we haven’t even been asked to buy anything.” It isn’t long before you realize that your presentation is not close to over…… It has only just begun.
- 4. The Presentation Now that you have broken bread and made a best friend, it is time to get down to business. Your friendly sales rep shows you what she/he is there to sell you. The absolute, 100% best vacation property in the entire world, or maybe how another week or more points is just what you need to really maximize your vacation ownership experience. And right from the start, you know it will be out of your price range.
- 5. Reasons to buy Even though the price is high, you need to know the reasons to buy: 1. It’s an investment! 2. It’s a tax write off! 3. The fees never go up! 4. It’s the LAST ONE! 5. You can rent it and make money!! Do any of these sound familiar to you?
- 6. But WAIT!! There’s more! You can resell it ! We will buy it back! If you buy MORE points, the fees will be LESS! You can travel more! MORE weeks mean MORE fun! You get cheaper airfare! You just won the lottery! And so on, and so on.
- 7. And now you are sold…. But this still does not address the money issue. Yes, you love all of the great things that will happen if you buy this timeshare unit, add another week or buy more points. But you still can’t afford it. You look at your wife, your wife looks at you, you both look at the salesman, he looks back at you. And then, he asks you a few questions: 1. Money aside, could you see yourselves vacationing like this? Don’t you love all of the features? Wouldn’t an extra week be great? Wouldn’t a DECREASE in maintenance fees be a great thing? You quickly answer: YES! 2. If I COULD work a better price, lower your fees, lower your mortgage, WOULD you buy? ANOTHER YES! Or at least one of you does…………………
- 8. It all comes down to money You have now been cornered. You have told a professional salesman that you love his product and that it is only about money. You are now the couple that salesmen dream of, but you know that a lowly salesman does not have the authority to change the price of something that costs tens of thousands of dollars. He says “I’ll be right back.”
- 9. Enter “The Closer” “The Closer” is better dressed than the salesman. He will reemphasize every last detail that the salesman gave you. He is the voice of authority. No matter what, he assures, he will figure out a way to “get you done,” get you financed, lower your mortgage, lower your fees and make you happy.
- 10. Within minutes……….. a price you can live with (or so you think) You are quickly whisked to the closing area and you are signing your life away. You are just moments from owning your dream vacation property, doubling your points or buying another week. And then the nightmare begins….
- 11. Meanwhile, back at home… Reality sets in. You are home from your 3 day “vacation” and that “free” trip just cost you 10, 20, 30,000 dollars or more. But let’s look at the bright side. You can travel for one week, every year, and you own it, right? Those extra 250,000 points will really come in handy, right? The deal for another 3 weeks in Arkansas was just too good to pass up, right?
- 12. You WERE surrounded by timeshare salesmen
- 13. Not long ago, this was you….. A proud, new timeshare owner
- 14. And these were the places you were going to go! The world was yours!
- 15. when the bills come marching in MORTGAGE PAYMENTS MAINTENANCE FEES RCI/II DUES EXCHANGE FEES SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS TAXES (Remember how easily your salesman dismissed those?) (He said they were going to go DOWN, didn’t he?)
- 16. BREAKING NEWS SOMETIMES SALESMEN LIE SOMETIMES YOU DON’T GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR THINGS AREN’T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM YOU SHOULD ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT!
- 17. But just for the record…. There are many honest salespeople You may have “gotten what you paid for” You did “read the fine print” There are many happy timeshare owners. They understand how to use timeshare and make the most of it. They wouldn’t trade it for the world.
- 18. But if you are not happy….. If you feel like you were “taken” It may not be your fault…… If it is not your fault, maybe we can help. Were you told timeshare was “an investment”? √ Were you told you could easily resell your unit? √ Were you told that they could “rent” it for you? √ Were you told you could receive tax deductions? √ Were you explained “exchanging” in detail? √ Was your tour longer than 90 minutes? √ Were you told your maintenance fees will go down? √
