Business Presentation

It may seem strange that package holiday companies should allow timeshare clubs access to their customers - but they do. So my "Creative Solutions" business presentation held today at the Hotel Eva in Faro explained to tour industry leaders (including timeshare chiefs) how I feel they could make the operation more user-friendly and profitable. The full presentation was recorded and is available now on DVD©. Simply Apply Here quoting reference "Business Presentation." Also see "Sounds Absurd (15 November 2003)" below.

New Day Trip

It is a fact, there is a lack of variety of excursions to places of interest available to tourists in the Algarve. Well, I've done my bit to rectify that! I have created a totally new day trip for holidaymakers to a previously unexploited location in the Algarve.
Test-marketed and proved, this tour is a certain success and major long-term earner appealing to the pop-culture British mass market. Tour Operators, Entrepreneurs and Commercial Enterprises who may wish to participate in this project can learn more by Contacting Me Here. Quote reference "New Day Trip".

Sounds Absurd....?!

Do you realise that leading Package Holiday Companies actively promote Timeshare Holiday Clubs? Sounds absurd - but the companies reasoning is sound and driven by market necessity and basic financial need. My inside report "Package Holiday Companies And Timeshare In The Algarve ©" not only reveals all regarding this practice but also gives my observations, conclusions and suggestions as to how the various participants could improve the quality of the product - and with it their public image! Also how they could make their approach more user-friendly, effective and profitable. Contact Me Here. Quote reference "Package Companies".

Soft Is Best!

It's true, at least when it comes to selling that soft really does beat 'hard sell' every time. Unfortunately, the holiday industry seems slow to learn what marketing and sales professionals have long since conclusively proven.
My latest 'soft' marketing and integrated sales programme developed particularly for Holiday Clubs in the Algarve is available now. Learn how a simple marketing ploy plus a little patience and restraint will yield healthy rewards in terms of business quality - and quantity! Contact Here quoting reference "Soft Sell" to take that 'gentle' first step into increased profits for you and your company.

How Do I Do It?

A world-leading leisure industry company revamped an ailing marketing programme back in July and employed my assistance. Now, five months down the road, I have personally introduced in excess of five hundred prospective clients to the company. My input represents 60% of all the prospects generated in that time by a team of up to sixteen researchers!
People ask, "How do you do it, what is your secret?" I must admit that this is a question which continues to irritate me. Why? ..... Well to find the answer to that and to many other 'secrets of success', those who seriously wish to develope their skills and to benefit from my experience can attend my 'Wake Up' business guidance and/or personal mentoring sessions. You can Learn All About These Here.

Timeshare Study

My first assignment in the Algarve, a study of the selling of 'club memberships' in the timeshare industry is completed.
The report prepared for my sponsor and based on actual experience inside an upmarket resort is entitled, "Timeshare 2002 - Alive AND Kicking In The Algarve" ©.
It is now available to all interested companies, travel magazines, newspapers and concerned individuals. You can enquire about purchasing this work by Contacting Me Here. Quote reference "Timeshare".

Naughty Nonsense

I've been writing short stories, doggerel and silly verse since I was a boy. Alan Smith and Roy Able, my collaborators on "The Donion Song Book" (1960-64) know all about the latter! My efforts in the interim have however been confined primarily to greetings cards and the odd offering for special occasions.
But "The Furry Thong Cartoon Book Of Verse"© now brings together a collection of over 100 humourous verses featuring my "Furry Thong"® character. Call me crazy but I believe this work has great commercial potential. So all you Publishers and Literary Agents out there searching frantically for your next major coup, look no further, I'm Here! Quote reference "Furry Thong"!

	High Flying Hill Samuel Man Wins Again This news clip is self-explanatory! I became one of the top earners in the UK industry and won many awards. At each of the international conventions mentioned I conducted work-shop seminars on my marketing and sales ideas and techniques. In 1990 I established an East of Scotland agency for London & Manchester Assurance. I set up two offices, one in Aberdeen and one in Dundee and recruited, trained and operated a sales force of twenty-two. In 1992 Aegon Life bought out this agency from me and I continued to successfully represent them until 1996. During this time I twice passed the Chartered Insurance Institute Financial Planning Certificate qualification in Sales, Marketing, Pensions and Life Assurance and was a credited Senior Advisor in subjects Corporate Investment, Offshore Investment, Corporate Pension Schemes and Taxation and Personal Investment and Protection.

	Rio Carnaval Carnaval time in Rio de Janeiro! What an occasion, what a city! An amazing way to work - and play! During the two months which I spent there I set up a temporary office from which I conducted a mail-shot campaign to all my clients and prospective clients in the U.K. This promoted the idea that an exotic lifestyle is achievable for anyone who truly wants it - as instanced by my own presence in Rio. This simple project directly generated a six figure sum in new business gross earnings for the companies that I ran at that time!

	Another Busby Babe? When I went to Manchester United in August 1963 (having chosen them over Arsenal), I fully expected to become a famous football star! The club lodging home in which I was placed was in Stretford just behind Old Trafford. My landlady, Mrs.Wilde, built me up on raw eggs, endless pints of milk and steak every day and ensured that I was safely tucked up in bed by 10pm each night. My wage was a princely Six Pounds sterling per week and my immediate next door neighbour was George Best! (I cried the day he died in 2005). So almost the start of something big but my 'career' stuttered and spluttered until ended by injury in 1969. But not before a well-respected former international player once wrote of me, "Tom Riach is physical, skillful and clever. This was the finest display of centre-forward play I have seen at any level in twenty years." So that was something ... and I do have the memory!
