Consumer Centric Selling Training Program

Recognizing that continued industry growth demands a sales environment in which potential purchasers feel comfortable and confident as well as the need to address the ongoing concern with negative consumer perception of the industry, the AIF has developed this consumer-centric sales training program. Geared toward timeshare sales professionals, the program seeks to uphold ARDA standards for sales practices, allowing salespeople and customers to interact with respect, courtesy and integrity. The goal of the program is to increase the potential industry sales, broaden the base of consumers who will consider timeshare products available, and increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Consumer Centric Selling is available as a modular training program. Individual resort sites may choose any combination of the five modules to fit into existing sales training programs. Or conduct all five modules for a comprehensive six-hour (suggested time) course.

Modules:

  • The Most Important Person
  • Dignity & Respect
  • Accuracy & Truthfulness
  • Promises & Representations in Writing
  • Follow Up & Customer Service

Features include:

  • Combination of print and multi-media training components
  • Student materials to distribute including interactive manual and group activities
  • Trainer manuals including teaching tips and suggested activities
  • Video clips demonstrating key topics as well as additional suggested movie clips for further discussion
  • All materials sent via electronic files to allow in-house reproduction and site customization

Benefits:

  • Resort listing on website for completion of all five modules
  • Press release when resort successfully completes training program
  • Certificate for individual sales associates upon completion
