When staying at timeshare properties, my wife and I occasionally give in to the entreaty to attend a sales presentation. Having suffered through enough of them, we want to claim whatever incentive they offer without staying a minute beyond the promised length of the presentation - which as we all know is a promise worth less than the carbon dioxide exhaled in making the promise. After attempting a couple of different approaches, we've settled on a line that emphasizes that we're so new to timesharing (and to the particular developer's program) that we're just not sure we can commit to this - "yet." That has worked to get both the sales person and the "manager" (or whoever that is who comes in after the salesperson to lean even harder on us) off our backs and us out the door on time. We've tried telling them how we'll never pay above resale prices, but that just raises the sales guy's hackles (and often elicits some outrageous lies from him) and it ends up being unpleasant for all involved.
What's your favorite line to keep the presentation to the allotted time and still get your freebie?
