NB - Its a Commission-Only position; No Base Salary:

New Sales reps receive commission flat 10% for the first FOUR weeks of employment as they learn the products and develop their techniques with full on going training and assistance. After that it rises to 13%. Commissions are paid out every Wednesday for the previous weekly pay period. There are daily cash incentives called spiffs, which are paid out the following day to anyone who made a sale according to the targeted criteria from the previous day’s sales meeting; these vary as the sales manager will set different targets in the morning sales meeting, often on a sliding scale whereby more sales means the higher the daily bonuses are! Our product selling prices range from 2,000 Euro’s for a trial or introductory membership up to 45,000 euros for full two bedroom villa memberships and we have prices all the way in between and above;

We feel we have Absolutely something for everybody.

Independent Trustee:

All our Purchasers have an excellent fully independent consumer and legal protection established by a specialist vacation ownership trustee called Hutchinson & Co Trust Company Ltd offering escrow services and duly audited inventory management for the Club.

Sales Consultants-will be given prospective clients after a 5 day Sales Training course and Product Orientation / introduction. You introduce our product range to the clients during an easy going and relaxed but informative tour of the property, where the club has accommodations and general friendly talk to allow you to show clients other resorts in our Club and accommodation types that would be of interest to them. Normally the managers will show prices tailor-made to the clients and help you make the deal. This is where you make money -each sale creates a commission for you of what ever money is taken, less a 1,250 Euro admin, legal & product fee; Average prices being around 9 or 10,000 euros or a commission of around 1,300 euros on an average type of sale.

In certain 'hardship' cases we can fast-advance you commissions on money paid by your clients. We think this is fair and easy for us to help out. The collections are made locally by a professional contract and collections team on the resort and of course, you can speak with the collections department anytime to make sure your clients are all ok and paying on time. We expect and encourage this. We would expect you to sell one or 2 sales a week.

Clients generally leave a deposit by credit card or in some cases cash, of around 1 to 3,000 Euros and pay their balance within 7 to 14 days of returning home or at least by a month; however, this is not always the case where as they may need longer time to pay. Generally, you know that 1,000 Euros in your hand is worth far more in Thailand than in Europe or Australia!

Fun! The job has to be fun and we enjoy life – we celebrate your success with you – see our Sales staff Five Star Party http://www.clubabsolute.com/seapearl/james.html

THAI Visa Details:

For new recruits we send out certain company documents for you to apply for a Non Immigrant B Visa, you have to apply for the Visa at a local Thai Embassy or Consulate outside of Thailand; this then enables us to apply for a Work Permit when you arrive to the country. We would need from you a faxed or scanned copy of the photo page in your passport showing all your details, in some cases we would also need a separate scanned photo ( passport type ) The passport must be valid for at least 6 months.

Check the website for your nearest Thai Embassy or Consulate, www.thaiembassy.org and in the UK (or Europe) we recommend using Alan Taylor at the Thai consulate in Hull as they have proved to be by far the most efficient consulate in UK – see http://www.thaiconsul-uk.com just call them in advance and they are most helpful.
If you struggle to find the nearest embassy or consulate, simply ‘Google your country and Thai Consulate’ or ask our help.
The Embassy will require you to get the following documents from us:

• Letter of invitation from our Thai company as a guarantee - we will provide this.
• Completed Non Immigrant B Visa form – a blank application form can be printed off one of the websites.
• 2 x Passport size photos
• Visa Fee – Visa costs are your own expense and not refunded by the company.
   

Please ask for a One Year Multiple Entry Visa, as this is the best option for you; they may only give you a 3 month visa initially and it is not a real problem. It varies from country to country and also consulate to consulate. You will simply visit Hong Kong, Malaysia or Singapore from Thailand to renew and obtain a new visa B once that one nears its expiry date.

Thailand - Work Permits – Tax & Social Security:

To apply for a Work Permit we will need some things from you when you arrive, some special work permit size photos taken locally and a simple local medical certificate; all of these can done near the resort.

We deduct this from your commissions and do not charge you upfront.
