I was amazed by the persisten closing language they used throughout the entire presentation.
“Are you ready for this?” “The commitment of a lifetime” “Make your vacations the best you’ve ever had” “This offer is only good for today” “Best of all you get the exchange program…if you sign up today” “The value of our properties keeps rising, get in now”
We were constantly pummelled.

If not for the fact we had just moved and experienced immense moving expenses, I think even with our natural skepticism, we would have been vulnerable.

What was truely amazing was how they equated their product with hotels and positioned hotels as their competitor. “When the hotels realized how revolutionary our product was, all the major chains decided to enter our market.”

We worked through the numbers and even though we spend quite a bit on holidays, we would never be happy with a constraint on our selection or the continuing monthly expense.

Making Our Way
