51-Paradise Canyon Vacation Scam

- Sales Bonus points incentive

Membership cost is $10,000 to $15,000

The sales bonus figures is from the actual employee hand book

1st sale = $25 dollars....$10,000/$25 = 0.25 or 1/4 of 1 percent

2nd sale = $50 dollars....$10.000/$75 = 0.75 or 3/4 of 1 percent

3rd sale = $100 dollars...$10,000/$175 = $175 or 1.75%

5th sale = $200 dollars...$10,000/$525 = $525 or 5.25%

Now lets break this down another way, so you can see that Paradise
Canyon Vacation even scams its own employees

1st sale $10,000 = $25 = 0.25% or 1/4 of 1 percent

2nd sale $20,000 = $75 = 0.325% or 1/3 of 1 percent

3rd sale $30,000 = $175 = 0.583% or 6/10 of 1 percent

4th sale $40,000 = $325 = 0.8125% or 8/10 of 1 percent

5th sale $50,000 = $525 = 1.05% or 1.05%

Noel the manager has said that in all the years in business he
has only seen 1 person hit 5 sales. Out of 25 call agents 3 sales
on a pay cheque happens for 1 person every 3 months. It is set up
to pay as little as possible as less often as possible.

The presentation sales man sales bonus

6 sales of $10,000 = $10,000 or $1,666 per sale = 16.6%

[Paradise Canyon Vacation advertises $15/hour on the job bank]

This is from the actual employee guide book

Sales Bonus

TSRs are paid a base wage of $10 per hour plus bonuses
At any time a TSR achieves 10 qualified bookings [couples]
in a shift, he or she is paid $15/hour for that shift
-there are 4 sales people who can get 10 bookings,
and that is maybe 1-2 per week, out of those 4 people
the manager gives 2 of them easy expo and rebook sheets

-now this is completely different than what is posted on the
job banks where it states $15/hour for 24 hours [sometimes 20]

Paradise Canyon Vacation even runs the call centre like a time share
company using a points system, members receive enough points every year
to stay for 2 weeks only at one of their resorts. Here is the actual
points bonus incentive from the employee handbook

Even the presentation is run the same way, here is a quote from someone
on trip advisor that attended the presentation and met with the salesman

Just to close this off (and in case anyone else gets a call from them in
the future), we had the sale guy round this evening.

Turns out that you have to put down a minimum of $3500 before you can
even use the services.... which is completely in contrast to what was
explained in the presentation originally.

Suffice to say he was told to sling his 'ook.
