Owner update next week at wgsmr&l

[raygo123]

I think we have circled back to ty1on, that. The best course is an ongoing search rather than to check for inventory by way of the portal. As the inventory may never hit, if there is a previous on going search?

This was put together from other posts

There is no reason not to do both, unless you just don't have the time to do frequent online searches.

Huh, why didn't I consider that. Is there a best time or day to check inventory?

I consider my life as one long journey. I have 2 successful children, 4 grandchildren, one born this month. I have lived through heart surgery, kidney transplant, and back Surgery.
And am happy with my life. I have missed nothing. So, if I want to go to an owners update, I will. If I want to ask stupid questions so be it. Maybe, just maybe, I will get an answer.

Raygo, I'm sort of like you here - retired and spending time wherever I am. It kind of feels like every day is vacation; so checking out a 'presentation' can be an adventure just like clearing weeds from the back fence. It helps to know where the thorns are to avoid getting stuck.

As for exchanging, I think no one here knows the correct answer. Like was said, why not do both?

 

[raygo123]

You should do BOTH.

It's "which."

witch =

raygo123 - One of the reasons that you get a lot of negative feedback on TUG is because your posts are sloppy. Even if you know exactly what you are talking about, poor writing makes you look like you don't. You will be received better, if you take your time with your posts, and edit your errors.

Did you notice that previously someone said that they thought English was your 2nd language? If that's the case, please let us know, and people will cut you some slack.

Just sayn'

I hope everyone clicked the picture

Great smokey mountains resort and something

Kinada like like calling the resorts near your home NH and OTA or my favorite resort APR or is it AVP

I think the op is just poking fun at us for the way we use jargon here.

 

[raygo123]

No, I wouldn't do that

The problem with the jargon not all terms are on the tug site. BTW, sdo, two that posted in the last hour,

BTW is not related to timesharing - it's commonly used internet/text shorthand for "by the way."

SDO is a Starwood timeshare that is a popular trader: Sheraton Desert Oasis. In the Starwood resources sticky there is a glossary of Starwood abbreviations.

raygo123 - Do you actively text, tweet, or participate in other internet groups?

 

[raygo123]

No, no Facebook Twitter etc. I was on tug a long time ago, a long time ago. Then, RCI was run out of a Couples basement in Indiana. That was BC, before cigna. Never had the time or desire. That's it. Couple weeks ago joined Facebook, but didn't do anything with it, and don't think I want to.

learning to type - when android phones became common

I like Ray's posts because they are short - quick -and usually add some information and /or thought to the discussion.
Typing is something I am learning (at 55+)using my Android phone & I pad . Perhaps Ray is travelling the same path.
For what it is worth - Swiss is a spoken language & the written language taught in schools is standard German . Texting by " kids " is creating a " written " version of the Swiss language.

Many of us type in standard "written " English .
Ray on the other hand is typing in colloquial spoken English .
Perhaps he is ahead of the rest of us Tuggers in the evolution of "smartphone / device based English .

Just a thought .

Very interesting post, and I did not realize that there's no written form of Swiss...

However, sometimes I read Raygo's posts aloud and they still don't make sense. There is more at play than typing/texting shorthand. There are gaps and leaps in thoughts that make it difficult to understand the intent.

I used to work with a guy that was thinking all the time. And in a conversation he would begin speaking what he was thinking, at that point in time. The rest of us were still talking about last nights baseball game but in his head, he had already moved on to the most recent Seinfeld episode. Tough to follow sometimes.

Stream of consciousness stuff, Reading Rays posts is a lot like reading
ee cummings. Im starting to get it

I would like to attend, just as an observer, an Owner Update with someone like rayo123 .

That would be worth a couple of hours of my vacation.

I would like to attend, just as an observer, an Owner Update with Ron P. That, of course, would require them to allow him to have one.

going to a TS sales presentation

I would like to attend, just as an observer, an Owner Update with someone like rayo123 .

That would be worth a couple of hours of my vacation.

It would be interesting .

I do not own Wyndham like Ray but I have learned lots from Tuggers posts about how to best use that system .
How about going with Bigrob or Ron to Wyndham - if they are still able to attend

< I know there is a recent separate thread on that issue >

I would like to be a fly on the wall when the weasels are talking in the background.

 

[vacationhopeful]

I too must be on the "Wyndham's do not tour" list.

I just find a hot tub or resort bar and HOLD my own "court" with new found friends ....:hysterical: I get by drinks brought and the sales staff loses.

Scored another GOLD VIP set of friends last night .... they went and got their computer from the unit AND loved the eBay prices.

And I also had them bookmark this site.

Sales presentations / truth and lies

The first things you learn as a sales person is, no call, no sale, and, don't edit the news. With that said, if we all don't ask, its business as usual. One answer would be a win.

I feel like Ray has had sales in a part of his life path per this post .

Just because the weasels lie does not mean that they lie about everything .They need to connect with you one on one to sell you and (some ) truthful conversation helps this.
FYI - In 2010 - 4 yrs past retail purchase we attended a Mayan update in Mazatlan .< they wanted me to buy more units based on the "rental opportunities " and it was one of the better , upside down writing / lots of boxes Vidanta presentations I have witnessed ( all weasel ) However -- I did learn in conversation with the salesperson was that the reason there was a newly updated Sea Garden brand model ( not part of our presentation / I had seen it while exploring the property ) was that while Vidanta had closed Sea Garden sales to gringos , they were actively marketing this brand to/in Mexican nationals contracts.That truth has helped me better understand Vidanta's overall strategy / big picture planning.

I think that type of info is why Ray wants to go to an owners update presentation .

I was shocked I was allowed to go to one recently. I suspect it is the last one I will be allowed to attend, and of course they shuffled me off to a different time period so that I would not "contaminate" the pool of high-potential prospects reserved for morning slots.

I, too, would be interested to hear what the "back-office" discussions were like during my visit. I also wonder if they had video surveillance... if so they probably noted that each time the sales person left, I availed myself of the opportunity to look over the notes and printouts they had on me.
