The timeshare buyer demographic is quite diverse. Over the years, we have brokered the resale of timeshare for many interesting professionals like doctors, lawyers, judges, television weather forecasters, and NFL coaches.  In addition, some timeshare resort developer's staff including salespeople also buy and sell on the secondary market. I guess the reality of a strong resale market for timeshare would really "hit home" with resort personnel if they realized the amount of transactions being consummated with their own personnel.  Unfortunately, for many years the "industry" denied the existence of a timeshare resale marketplace.  This fallacy has changed in recent years with many in timeshare realizing they can no longer deny the inevitable fact that consumers will need to sell their timeshares at some point. So, what if any mention is there about "timeshare resale" during a resort's training for new or current employees?  I would be willing to bet most do not mention resales whatsoever.  This would probably make sense from the retail side in order not to confuse the training process and keep the focus on the presentation and sales 101.  However, including the topic of Resales could benefit the training process in ways possibly not realized currently. Maybe it would be beneficial if the salespersons were trained about how to handle the consumer's questions regarding an existing option to purchase resale.  What percentage of resorts with active sales lines in today's market offer guidance to their staff regarding the vibrant and growing resale market? -Crash
