I just listened to the phone pitch from one the other day, and I will say the stuff they were offering was pretty good. The woman was very nice and I kept telling her that I had to talk with my wife before deciding to take them up on their offer. Now, I should have prefaced that this wasn't one of the free Disney ticket deals. it was 6 day/5night in Orlando at a Sheraton or Double Tree property, as well as an additional 3 nights at Daytona Beach, a rental car, $100 airline credit per person, and 2 tickets for either a Disney park or a Universal Park. This was offered to me for $389 and it was for 5 people total, not per person. We would just have to do the 60 minute tour. Now, I now that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't. So after waiting on hold, while she "Let me see what I can do" about the wife asking issue, her supervisor, Ted, gets on the line. I have been very successful in sales for almost 30 years and love it when sales people try and "sell" me. However this guy was the glowing example of what give sales people a bad name. From the get go it was high pressure with this guy, and this was just for me to get on the trip they were offering to hear their pitch. I kept telling the guy that it wasn't going to happen without me speaking with my wife. When I would try and say something he kept cutting me off and not letting me speak. When I think he finally realized that I wasn't budging, the insults started. This is not a good path with me, especially if you are trying to sell me something. Then he said that I was just a telephone tough guy and what was I going to do. Well, I did lose my cool with him and showed him my mastery of much more colorful language. He still wouldn't relent and he hung up on me. I called them back and found another supervisor who was amazed and even gave me their address. for what Ted was not realizing is I am heading down in 11 days and am planning to show up for the in person sales presentation. To top everything off, a different sales person called me today to try and sell me the package, when I asked him is my original sales person I was placed on hold, and low and behold Ted the supervisor picked up the line, not knowing it was me. I was thrilled!!! REALLY!!! I asked him if he remembered me, and he said sorry, no, did you already fill out the form from us? I said no Ted, do remember calling me the Telephone Tough Guy? Then there was beautiful silence. He tried to be professional and say that I was rude to him first. I simply told him that Ted, I have the address there and I will be down for the in-person sales pitch and I can't wait for it. I know that much of this seems childish and why would I waste my hard earned vacation dealing with this turd, I'm not sure, but there was a big smile on my face when Ted picked up the line today. Oh, we'll that's my story on timeshare sales. So glad I'm a DVC member and that I dealt with professionals. I would love it if anyone posts any similar experience with these folks.
They had taken our picture when we arrived & said we could pick it up at the end. They wouldn't give it to us because we wouldn't give them any referrals.
