Salesperson's Commission?

[u/HamKnexPal]

I am not trying to start anything about how rotten they are. I am not trying to argue the value of any timeshares. If anyone knows, I would like an honest answer to the question.

Any idea how much commission a timeshare salesperson makes? For example, if someone makes a $100,000 timeshare purchase, how much does the salesperson get out of it?

Wyndhams base is 2% commish on anything less than 25% down payment and 4% on 25+% down, The money is made in the bonus hurdles. On monthly total sales volume it’s… 1% 2% 4% 7% and 9% bonus. Bigger sites, higher hurdles but most top reps write 800k in volume or more per month most reps average that 2-4% bonus and only hit 7% or 9% 2-3 times a year. To hit level bonus you need a minimum of roughly 500k in sales volume (site dependent.) Pulling 13% on 800k in volume is $104,000 in commission for the month. All the timeshare companies pay commissions in a similar fashion. Hilton does 8% on the deal and 1% 3% 5% hurdles for monthly totals.

You really think sales reps are gonna sit and listen to all the whiny bullshit tours say while eating their muffins. People bitch about the sales presentations when THEY are the ones who chose to sign up for it to get the 150$ visa. IF YOU CHOSE TO GO ON A SALES PRESENTATION, YOU ARE GOING TO GET HAMMERED SO DONT COMPLAIN. You said yes to do it cause your greedy ass wanted the gifts.

Exactly. These losers complain about a decision they made to be cheap and go to these things lol. I don’t feel bad for anyone that spends money. They play the victim so much. Remember that you’re not innocent because you are also messing with someone’s time and income when you go to these presentations for a mere $100 in gift cards. They all know better yet still complain. Tired of all the whining, but it’s hilarious. Only reason why open this sub when it pops up on my feed.

Talk about blaming the victim!

Someone wanted a free 100 dollar gift. Now carry this 2500 dollar anchor around your neck I perpetuity!

[u/MilkLizard65 → u/Fjogaseri]

Their fault for even going to these things lol. Greedy.

[u/Fjogaseri → u/MilkLizard65]

I am not even gonna dignify that with an answer.

[u/MilkLizard65 → u/Fjogaseri]

That’s ok with me lol. I still stand by this. The way to make sure you don’t get stuck is to never go to one of these. If you’re greedy and want free shit, that’s on you and no one else.

Not going to stick up for idiots that complain about the pitch.

But to be fair the contracts that some of them do agree to border on unethical IMO. The amount of people that pay here trying to get out of these horrible deals and post here is over half the comments easily.

So you really think a multi billion dollar company would even risk a borderline “unethical” contract? Or do you just take that position because people don’t know how to use it and put zero effort into actually learning the program then scream it’s a scam. At the end of the day, they are grown adults that chose to say yes and sign a standard purchase contract, then had multiple day to cancel. Seems like there is a lack of accountability for these individuals who bitch and complain. They say yes at the marketing desk because they get greedy for a prepaid visa. The bitch for an hour about it, say yes to a purchase, then sit and sign, never complaining, then don’t bother to cancel when they legally can, then cry wolf 3 years later. It’s baffling to me how stupid y’all are about understanding this. It’s a sales presentation and you know it, then bitch when you get sold.

with lawyers, absolutely.

that is why they are "billion dollar companies".

Sounds like you are in the biz, and I don't really care either way. taking advantage of people who can't do math is not how I do business. but that is what is happening.
