Second To None

El Cid Sales Practices Are Second To None

El Cid sales practices are used to market some truly exceptional products. The company sells memberships and timeshares that serve as all-in-one gateways to some of the world’s most exceptional vacation getaways.

Not only do members get first crack at the three renowned El Cid resorts in Cancun/Riviera Maya, Cozumel and Mazatlan, but they also get unfettered access to the impressively wide range of partner resorts and other such venues all around the world that the company maintains for the benefit of its members. Also, members get points every year that can be used to “purchase” such vacation stays and which carry over to the next year in case they have not been used.

In El Cid, sales practices are conceptualized and overseen by people with formidable sales and marketing expertise. Curtis Knipe, a 25-year veteran of the timeshare business, is Director of Sales and Marketing for El Cid’s Timeshare Division. He joined the company in 2007 after stints as Director of Sales for Westgate Resorts, Vice President of Sales for Island One Resorts, and Vice President of Sales for Tempus Resorts. Andrés Gilberto Avilés Bazúa leverages his incomparable experience gained from previous stints in tourism promotion and as Director of Marketing for the Mazatlan Hotel Association as El Cid Resorts’ current Director of Sales.

The two oversee the conceptualization and implementation of such winning El Cid sales practices at the El Cid Vacation Club (ECVC) Vacation Program. This is a program aimed at spreading awareness of El Cid Resorts and their services by allowing non-members to experience El Cid’s incomparable services first-hand and for a very reasonable price. Participants must neither be current El Cid members, nor should they have stayed at an El Cid resort for 24 months before availing of this program, and should express their openness to sit down with sales staff and explore the possibility of acquiring El Cid timeshares of their own.
