Book description
In 1988 a fresh-faced 18-year-old, Barry Ley, made his first
tentative foray into the cut-throat world of timeshare sales. This
book chronicles his adventures around the world, from side-splitting
anecdotes of sales tactics to hair-raising tales of extortion and
organised crime. It follows Barry's story from his first days as a rep
in 1988 to his time in Mexico, detailing all his adventures,
relationships and losses along the way.
Ninety per cent of those who enter the timeshare business give it up
within a fortnight, such are the pressures they face. But for those
who stick it out the rewards can be sky high: the chance to earn big
money, and have a bloody good time doing it. Blaggers is an insider's
exposé of timeshare salesmen - the people we all love to hate - as
they fast-talk and freewheel their way around one of the most ruthless
marketplaces on earth.
Barry Ley has been travelling the world for the last 12 years. He has
lived and worked in many parts of it, including mainland Spain, the
Canary Islands, the Balearics, California, Mexico and Thailand.
