It's very interesting...long ago, when I was just starting the promotion of Mazatlán mainly as a labor of love I was not getting well paid, and I heard about a guy who was looking for what to do with all the money earned selling timeshares. I started asking what was that (believe it or not, there is a lot of Mexicans that just save and travel, with no timeshares involved) and heard that was the source of a good income.
   So I started at La Jolla, where after almost a year of starvation and loosing my patience because the owner and the marketing director had a disagreement and both refused to pay me my last commission, I've quitted. Then I decided to go to the other side: this marketing director saw my potencial (ja!) and invited me to be a "OPC's coordinator". What a mistake!! Another few months of starvation and real pain to get paid. Of course I left.
   Then, a couple of friends (or so I though) mentioned me about a new and fabulous rising proyect in the new island on the marina. Big investment, lots of money, etc. Another big mistake: http://www.mazatlanfraud.blogspot.com/ after another few starvation months and not getting paid of course I decided to finish my timeshare selling career. Also, I must accept I'm just not good on lying to people, so I would never get reach doing that.
   Now, after realizing the lack of certainty of (at least) the companies I was working. I moved to real estate and keep on my labor of love on Mazatlán's promotion and guess what? I like to vacation. So, after almost 5 phone calls I decided to go to a presentacion on a national resort.
   The beginning was just fine: a beautiful lady with an even more beautiful smile welcomed me and after filling out a survey I realized how they got me, before the presentation they request recommendations about who to contact (do you wonder why?) Of course I gave them my most hated persons, ja!
   Then, I was sorprised that the presentations to Mexicans where the same bull...excuse me, using the same method than the ones I used to get gringos years ago! Exactly the same thing: "Oh, we are international, you are saving tons of money, traveling savings on airplane tickets, RCI, Hiltons, tours, etc". And in the end of the "liner" presentation you are inforced to respond with a yes the same 3 questions!!!!: 1.Did you like it? 2.Would you used? If money wasn't an issue, 3.would you buy it? Oh, I'm sorry: Would you take this investment opportunity? Exactly the same thing we use to do! Then, they ask you for questions to turn you over to "the closer", Oh, I'm sorry: the manager, the administrator, etc. ja! Who has to go to the numbers to finally get you. Of course, as I was horrofied seing the same thing and knowing the same lies I've used to say, I refused to buy of course. It was really hard to get rid of the guy but I did it! Poor me, he came back 3 times more just to get more numbers of my income to justify himself, promesing that I would get my present (1 night courtesy) in 5 minutes, thing that didn't happen. My wife said that they where trying us to leave by ignoring us.
   So, we waited and waited for half hour, my wife got inestable and started a fight. I've got worse and got up to walk among the tables to see if they were afraid of me doing something bad but they didn't seen to see me. So I went to a couple of guys with the Hotel's logo to ask and they almost kick me out!
   Then, as a last resourse, I went to the closer who talked to me and asked him, then he just pointed to a guy and the guy gave me a coupon valid for 6 months to get a night after buying another one on a not very visited locations!!! I was so mad that the only thing I could do is to leave to try to get a nice Sunday...and promess myself never go to that again!
