Lisa Ann Schreier is the founder of Timeshare Insights (timeshareinsights.com), a consumer information source serving the more than 3 million Americans who attend a timeshare sales presentation or “pitch” annually, as well as the more than 2 million Americans who already own one or more timeshares. She is the author of two best-selling books on timeshare---Surviving A Timeshare Presentation: Confessions From The Sales Table, and Timeshare Vacations For Dummies. Both books have been a “hit” with consumers who are confused and angry by the industry’s outdated sales and marketing techniques.

She has been featured in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Baltimore Sun, Hiatus Magazine WomensWallStreet.com, Barron’s, the in-flight magazines for Alaska Airlines and AirTran, on National Public Radio and on over 55 radio interviews including WOR-AM in New York City, KCMN-AM in Colorado Springs, WBIX-AM in Boston and the ABC Radio Network in addition to television appearances on CNBC, WLS and WGN in Chicago and Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit” on Showtime.

Schreier has worked in the timeshare industry for more than 7 years and also served as a contributing writer for The Timeshare Beat for three years.

Each semester, both the University of Central Florida and the University of Nevada-Las Vegas retain Ms. Schreier to speak to their students enrolled in timeshare classes. In addition Ms. Schreier is a sought-after speaker for consumer groups, timeshare owners groups, the travel industry, womens’ groups and senior groups. She has been a featured speaker at the Miami Herald Travel Expo in April 2006, at the Chicago Adventure and Luxury Show in January 2005 and at THETRADESHOW in Orlando. Additionally, Lisa has taught “Timeshare Secrets” through the Learning Annex in Minneapolis/St. Paul and at the Alliance for Lifelong Learning in the Chicago suburbs.

She is currently developing an informational program about timeshares aimed at convention attendees and their spouses as well as co-authoring a college level textbook on timeshares, schedule to be released first quarter of 2008.

Lisa’s is neither pro- nor anti-timeshare---her goal is merely to separate the myths from the facts and let consumers make their own wise choices.
