Last week, while sneaking in a few day’s of vacation, I voluntarily attended a timeshare presentation. I wanted to know if all the horror stories I’d heard about them were true.

Worldwide, timeshares are a 50 billion dollar a year business and some of the biggest and most respected names in hospitality are the big owners.

The three hours I spent with the various representatives were enjoyable but, most importantly, I walked away – after finally saying no – with a real respect and admiration for the process.

There are great things you can learn from this 50 billion dollar business that will help your business.
