welp my worst job ever is i sold Timeshare.. it was actually good pay and i thought timeshare was a good thing. I even sold one to my parents. For my first 8 months or so i was selling in what was called front line and podium sales. Front line i did the whole spill+ resort tour , then showed them a price and then a manager came over to do a price drop and get them to buy. In podiums, i had a tour a speaker gave the spill and i walked them around the resort and then came back showed them a price and the manager would come over as well.. i made 6% percent when i did it myself and 3% when i did the podium. Ill admit i loved the money and was one of the top salesman for the 8 or so months.

Not til i got my "promotion" did i realize how bad timeshare was. I got a promotion to doing road shows . My original job was 8 months of selling to people who didnt have or understand timeshare. The promotion had me going to different cities and putting on a dinner with owners and then trying to upgrade their package.... i made 10% of what i upgraded them for but the managers were alot more hardcore. They trained me by saying all these people have problems and the only solution is more of this. I listened to these problems and then tried to get them to buy more.... they would say no then a manager would come over and lie and lie and lie til they upgraded.... my concious got the best of me after 2 road shows i quit .......

the problems were the original sales person lied and the package wasnt working and now they were getting lied to spend more money.....Now i see the problems my parents have with the timeshare i sold them and i feel really really bad....
