I have never done it, but I have never heard anyone who likes it. In this economy, you might want to consider something else, as luxury items are the first to go. I would consider a Timeshare a luxury item.

i personally have not done it. but i know people who thought just like you really easy job and easy money. problem with that thinking is that you have to lookk at thefacts that number 1 these days people use their money to buy gas not timeshares. 2 you get paid minimum wage and you actually make your money by commission so you gotta sell sell sell and this is not a selling economy right now. and if you don’t sel so many a month you will be fired cuz you aren’t making the company money.
plus personally i think its a kinda shadey job. i recently go a call that said i was gonna get a free vacation at a timeshare near boston for 3 nights. then they said and we want you to go to 3 info meetings about timeshares per day and what time were the meetings 8am-11am 1pm-4pm 6pm-8pm. my whole a day everyday would be me sitting in a room and them hounding you to buy a timeshare. as far as i am concerned that was no “vacation” that would have been a stress filled 3 days. then they asked where we were from so they could mail me directions. i told them and they said so you’re about 3 hours from here thats great and my response was what are you talking about i’m 8 hours away from you cuz i’ve been to boston before i know how long it takes. she said there is no way that i lived 8 hours away because they don’t contact people that are more than 4 hours away. and to that i said well i know where i live and its 8 hours away and you called me i didn’t call you so someone on your end is a bit confused. she said no i am looking at your address and you are only 3 hours away (with an attitude) i asked where she got her info from and she told me map quest and it said i lived in maine. well i live in a certain part of NY (which i’d rather not say in my answer)i said and she hung up on me.
so how does that sound for a shadey opperation.
