RCI, the global leader in vacation exchange and one of the Wyndham Worldwide family of companies (NYSE: WYN), announced the grand prize winner of “RCI’s Envision Your Success Sweepstakes!” resort salesperson incentive program during a special event last night in Las Vegas. Of the 13 qualifying finalists, Melody Stevenson from Shell Vacation Club was randomly selected as the grand prize winner and received a cash prize of $10,000 USD.

From April through September, “RCI’s Envision Your Success Sweepstakes!” program rewarded resort sales staff for their efforts and recognized the important contribution they make to the vacation ownership industry.

“We are thrilled that we were again able to recognize the efforts of our affiliates’ sales teams,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and CEO, Group RCI. “This incentive program is a great way to showcase our appreciation to the very talented and successful sales associates of our affiliates. We congratulate Melody and all the finalists for their great work.”

Each week for 20 consecutive weeks, qualifying RCI-affiliated resorts submitted the name of their top salesperson for that week. Each Monday, RCI, through an independent sweepstakes administrator, held a random drawing where one lucky salesperson was selected to win a state-of-the-art 42” high-definition flat panel TV. At the end of the 20-week period, the qualifying winners, along with his or her sales manager, were invited to attend last night’s event as guests of RCI.

Building on the great results of the 2008 “RCI^® Road to Success,” this is the second year that RCI has recognized the contributions of its affiliates’ sales teams to celebrate the mutual success of the resort and RCI.
