One of the founding Partners of Power-Tel and his brother opened Triton Technologies, in bound Call Center selling only Focus Factor. I had called for a reference as I was moving out West to either Las Vegas, Nevada or Los Angeles, California. Instead of getting a reference I was convinced to become the Call Center Manager of approximately 40-50 seat in bound Call Center. Because we were a start-up I hired and trained 40-50 people on how to sell Focus Factor. I also produced on the phones with an unbelievable 87% closing percentage on Focus Factor. My job was complete as I helped the brothers get their Call Center going, but was determined that I wanted to move West for opportunity.

Clarity Hearing Instruments, Rockport, MaineJune 2002-November 2002Owned by a good friend that I grew up with, was recruited to do Continuing Education Credits for Hearing Aid Specialists throughout the country. Also over saw the lab as we also manufactured our own hearing aids. Honestly it was cold and lonely up there so I expressed to my friend that I was moving back to Auburn, Maine until May 2003 when I was planning to go back to Las Vegas, Nevada to sell timeshare for The Hilton Grand Vacation Clubs.

Hilton Grand Vacation ClubsJune 2002-August 2002 Sold timeshares interests to guests that came to resort, usually by means of an OPC booth located in the Flamingo Hotel. I wasn’t particularly happy with the ups that were being brought to resort and did an investigation of OPC booth and found the OPC (stands for Off Property Contact) was only prospecting guests they felt comfortable with. I tried to get them to sign me up and they wouldn’t even ask me to sign up. It was kind of an eye opener that these OPC’s in a sense had my fate in their hands.

The Grandview of Las VegasSeptember 2002-June 2003Worked out by South Point Hotel selling In House to existing Timeshare owners. Very lucrative position selling only to existing owners.

generated leads at The Flamingo Bay Resort on West Flamingo, just beyond the Palms Hotel. We were based out of Showcase located by the Coke Bottle on the Las Vegas strip. We would meet our ups at Showcase and then ride by van over to Flamingo Bay to show the timeshare models. The sale was based on becoming a member in advance of the Tower being built on East Harmon behind The Planet Hollywood. Wasn’t particularly happy to have to ride to Flamingo Bay to sell the timeshare product.

The Marriott Timeshare, Las Vegas, NevadaSeptember 2003-December 2003Worked out of the Polo Towers selling timeshare at pre construction prices for Le Grand Chateau, Marriott Timeshare Resort on East Harmon. Great company with tremendous benefits but was not a good fit for me.

They also have several resorts in Hawaii.Call Center telesalesStarted with Call Center doing out bound calls to people that said no upon first contact to come to Tahiti for a mini vacation. Decided to work at Tahiti Resort as VLO (Verification Loan Officer) As a VLO you prepared all the documents involved when a person decided to buy timeshare. It was good experience as it rounded out my Timeshare knowledge. The money was very limited and you could not make more than $500-$600 a week. I decided to move to sales line as a salesman.

I was promoted to a T/O which is a closer, T/O stands for take over.

I started with a handful of OPC’s and they were doing about 25 tour’s a week. Within the first 6 Months we were up around 150 tours a week and beginning to bring on other Managers with their own teams. After about 3 years we had grown to 1,000 tour’s a week and had 4 major teams working on the strip. I was the Senior Marketing manager. During the course of our growth they requested that each of the 4 Managers Incorporate. My company was Johnson Marketing Inc. and I had about 30 OPC’s on the street as well as in 2 booths that I also ran on the strip, The Nevada Tour Center and Fatburger. In July of 2014 the man that had originally recruited me to start the street Marketing Program had some legal issues from Call Centers he had operated in 2000. New management was coming in and business had fallen off greatly. I left the company in March of 2015.
