Even if there was nothing available for sale at a resort, they still have a sales staff and they sell inventory that is available at any/all of the resorts (except for Big Cedar where they will sell you other resorts, but apparently that is the only place you can be deeded to Big Cedar is by buying there). It makes no sense for BG to have a sales office/staff at a resort they don't own and only have claim to a few intervals at the resort.
I understand from a friend who's hubby was marketing exec at Mtn. Run and was transferred to Atlantic City just this summer that what he does is look for partner hotels, set up the promos for new owners, potential owners (referrals) and the owner parties, etc. His job is to lay the groundwork to get the people there so the sales staff can get them in to sell to them! He creates the "hook".
Sales and Marketing.............though it seems the same titles to me, they are different departments within Bluegreen.
I received my monthly e-mail BG owner update yesterday and in it included many things (which I posted on the BG yahoo group) but one was the announcement of New Orleans and that they weren't taking reservations but had a link to the page on the BG web site too. (The one that has been referred to here.) But of course no points list!
