Buying a Timeshare at Your Favorite Resort
Exploring Timeshare Ownership
Timeshares have become a popular way to enjoy regular access to your favorite resorts. However, there are several factors to consider. If you're contemplating attending a timeshare presentation, keep an open mind but also proceed with caution.
The Initial Encounter
Many people first learn about timeshares through enticing offers like winning a vehicle or securing a free vacation. These promotions often surface at fairs, restaurants, car dealerships, or through unsolicited calls during dinner. Sometimes, it's a well-meaning friend or relative who introduces you to the idea. While vacationing in places like Mexico, you might even be approached on the street with offers of free island-hopping adventures in exchange for attending a presentation.
The Presentation Experience
Accepting such offers typically leads to more than just the promised perks. Prepare for several hours of presentations, property tours, and persuasive sales pitches. It's essential to weigh the benefits of these perks against the time and effort required to attend the presentation and engage in negotiations.
Surprisingly, many people who initially have no intention of buying a timeshare end up doing so. Sales teams are expertly trained to turn objections into agreements, often employing a mix of psychology, charm, and negotiation tactics. It's akin to buying a car, where skilled salespeople aim to sweeten the deal until it's hard to resist.
The Sales Pitch
Presentations usually include a meal, and in some cases, a champagne breakfast. The relaxed atmosphere can make attendees more open to considering offers. Salespeople are adept at making non-buyers feel the weight of missing out, while sales managers have the authority to add extra incentives.
The costs of hosting these presentations and offering prizes come from the resort's marketing budget, ultimately funded by sales profits. If you're serious about purchasing a timeshare, it's wise to negotiate for the best possible deal.
Negotiating the Best Deal
Never settle for the first offer. Leverage every opportunity to push for a better deal. Even if you're skeptical about the value, skilled negotiators can keep improving the offer. Persistence could see the sales team enhancing the offer even as they close your car door after several hours of negotiation.
Final Tip: Make One Last Push
Once you've stayed through most of the presentation and negotiation, the sales team is often willing to make their best and final offer. This may include a special getaway or an annual vacation certificate. It's a chance to secure an exceptional deal right before the close.
Conclusion
Harness the power of negotiation. Timeshare sales teams are not accustomed to dealing with skilled negotiators, so capitalize on this to maximize your benefits. Once satisfied, release any lingering doubts and relish your new resort experience.
