What is fractional Cottage Ownership? You hear the term all
the time, yet what does it mean? Is it a Timeshare? Do you own real property? Fractional cottage ownership has become quite popular
in the last few years. There are companies that specialize in finding
properties that are suitable for fractional ownership. These same companies
then buy the properties and repackage them for sale in the fractional ownership
market. Often these companies will also manage the properties and assist the
groups of owners in renting the property. Obviously for this service there is a
charge, but many fractional cottage owners feel it is well worth the cost.

Preserving a Treasure of the American West

Shell Valley is a tiny hamlet nestled in the foothills of the spectacular Bighorn Mountains in picturesque Shell Wyoming, population 50. Here, nature remains unspoiled and the traditions of the Old West continue uninterrupted. Tradition, honor and the Cowboy Code are fundamental to the foundation of life here in the West. Now, this legacy that has lived on at the Flitner Ranch for over one hundred years can become part of your family’s history, thanks to the Hideout Private Residence Club.

If you’ve lived in, or been in the two top tourist destinations in the world, Las Vegas, and Orlando, Florida, you’ve met many couples who are engaged to be married, or who have become engaged on their vacations in one of those cities. Once engaged, plans are often made to prepare for the marriage and honeymoons are a big part of those plans.

Timeshare and vacation ownership. what are they about? What is it like to have a career in this industry? What does it take to make a six-figure income and to stay employed in the industry?

I am not writing these articles with the intention of hiring anyone since I’m not a sales recruiter. I do have an MBA in real estate development and management and my pet peeve in business is employee turnover. I just don’t like it. Turnover in the vacation ownership/timeshare industry is horrible.

Timeshares are a unique real estate purchase, instead of purchasing a piece of property that you own continuously, you purchase either a portion of the property, or the right to use that property for a specific amount of time. There are many models of property and time use that have developed in the timeshare industry over the last 30 years or so, which offer increased flexibility and amenities to enjoy your stay. Buying a used timeshare will, in many cases, give you the best value for your vacation dollar.

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.

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.”‘

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.

There has been a lot of buzz lately surrounding Global Resorts Network and I decided to take a closer look at this company. This is the report of my findings. Global Resorts Network is the brainchild of Chuck Tomlin, a real estate developer, and Al Morales, a successful timeshare salesman. The company was formed in late 2006 and formally launched in March 2007. Mr. Tomlin and Mr. Morales negotiated an alliance with an established full-service travel agency that has been offering a private travel club membership for the past 20 years. They have stated in company conference calls that they were excited about the benefits of membership and impressed by the exceptional customer service offered by the travel agency. Global Resorts Network is a company created to handle the exclusive marketing of the luxury travel club membership via the internet.
