DOVER, NH, Jan 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Sell My Timeshare NOW, the global leader in the online marketing of
timeshare resales and timeshare rentals, announces the hiring of Jay Bade
as the company's Executive Director of Business Development.
Bade is an industry veteran with 20 years' experience in timeshares. He
was the past Vice President, Eastern Region for Trading Places
International, where he was responsible for business development in the
eastern US, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Prior to being with
Trading Places, Jay was the Director of Club Inventory Development for
Bluegreen Resorts.
In a timeshare industry career that began at RCI on the call center sales
floor, and included advancing to key client management and business
development for RCI Resort Services, Jay is experienced in working with
resorts, exchange services, owners associations, and inventory
acquisitions.
CEO Jason Tremblay expressed his enthusiasm for the new executive. "Sell
My Timeshare NOW is in an aggressive growth mode. To help us realize our
expansion plans, it is important that we find a person with the right
combination of vision and experience to head our business development
division. Jay Bade is the right person for this job."
Sell My Timeshare NOW received $8.5 million in expansion capital in
December as part of their growth initiative. Tremblay explains,
"Businesses like Sell My Timeshare NOW, which have embraced the
opportunity to serve their clients online, are growing despite the
economy."
Bade recognizes that the online business model, which is fundamental to
the success of the company, is the key. "Sell My Timeshare NOW clearly
finds buyers and renters for the inventory on its website, which is
demonstrated by the $461 million in offers collected in 2008. With the
economic changes taking place in the industry, this is the right time and
the right platform to find the right solutions for timeshare buyers,
sellers, and renters."
Bade will be responsible for creating corporate relationships in order to
build on the B2B success of the company's Resort Services Division.
Outreach efforts are underway with developers, resort management
companies, and homeowners associations to discuss solutions to their
owner services and resale inventory needs.
The company's website, www.sellmytimesharenow.com, saw a 16 percent
increase in website traffic in 2008 with 25,256,677 total visitors.
