Unfortunately there are also a multitude of scammers out there who take advantage of timeshare owners looking to sell.

1. Know your position – You do need to understand that selling a timeshare is not easy and selling to make a profit is nearly impossible. It's simply the law of supply and demand at work that causes this because there is a large supply of timeshares available on the market today.

I j ust got a telemarketing job, anyone here who can give me tips on how to handle objections?

I' m into timesharing and my job id to invite people to attend a free presentation.
I don't really have experience when it comes to selling.

The biggest tip I can give you on handling objections is to expect them. It's going to happen 99% of the time. Lucky for you, you are given a script based on the responses given to you by the potential buyer. Practice reading over the scripts using voice tones that you would use while carrying on a conversation with your friends. Sounding natural is key. Most people have the tendency to talk really fast when working off of a script. Slow down and do not be discouraged. The amount of rejections that you receive will by far outnumber the takers. People will be rude to you and they will hang up on you. Just realize it's part of the job and not personal. Otherwise, you will not last long.
