About 15 years back my wife pleaded with me to take her to one of these presentation. She wasn't interested in a time share but rather in their selling technique. She had just spent a week in sales school and wanted to observe these sales guys in action. She took delight in predicting each exact move starting with the first guy who must have done an internet search on us since we had pre-registered. So we tested his veracity when he claimed he lived in our hometown that left him stuttering. My wife predicted the second guy was about to make his entrance. Again some of the same blarney. Finally as my wife predicted a third guys shows up and my wife predicted verbatim what he was about to say and do.
The manner in which these folks conducted business was looked down on by her company and was used as an example on how NOT to sell as it was considered unethical and very deceiving. So my enthusiastic wife wanted to see the technique in action with the idea of speaking with her fellow employees about her experience.
Oh that free present you were promised ended up being a pamphlet explaining how you could win the prize they advertised. Again as she predicted. By the time they finished my wife was so full of herself because of her accurate prediction.... My wife still owes me for that one
