Timeshare Relief has helped tens of thousands of timeshare owners in the last six years get rid of their timeshares. Some owners have purchased multiple timeshares because they just cannot say “No” to the timeshare salespeople. In fact, timeshare owners are more likely to purchase another timeshare than a non-buyer. We cannot understand how many timeshares a single couple can end up owning.
So for the timeshare owner or non-owner alike, here’s our best tip on how to say “No” at a timeshare presentation…
Request a copy of the timeshare contract for your lawyer.
If you ask for the timeshare contract for your lawyer (who should not be readily accessible) to read and review, you’ll create an impasse. Timeshare sales people are trained to never let you remove any documentation from the presentation room. It might contradict what was said during your visit and the length of many timeshare contracts is enough to scare off buyers. So more likely than not, you will not get your copy.
Regardless whether you get a copy or not, at this point you’ll want to leave. Yet, the sales process has yet to go through the gauntlet of sales techniques used at these presentations. So, be prepared for the timeshare sales people to stall or change the subject away from the documentation.
They will ask why you need it since there is a rescission period during which you can cancel your contract. You can respond by saying that you’d be more comfortable taking the contract to your lawyer, or that for large purchases at presentation-style sales meetings, you feel you must take the timeshare contract to your lawyer.
Don’t worry if you do not have a lawyer. If you feel guilty about fibbing to the timeshare sales people, just know that you probably know someone who knows a lawyer who would be your lawyer without an issue.
The beauty of this objection is that you are not saying “No” to buying, just that you want to take the time to investigate it properly. Salespeople are trained to overcome “No” responses. Eventually they may be able to overcome the “Take the documents out of the room” objection as well but it’s definitely not easy and not heard as much as “I can’t afford it” or “I don’t take enough vacations.”
So, keep this Timeshare Relief tip in mind the next time you find yourself at a timeshare presentation. Remember, if you REALLY want a buy a timeshare (we wouldn’t know why you would), purchasing a timeshare in the presentation room is the most expensive place anyways. Try your best to walk out of the room as soon as you can, but be prepared to stay a while. Even the most effective objection won’t get you through quickly.
