Get access to over 1000 social media cruise video clips: https://programs.steeryourmarketing.com/products/courses/view/1166776 Some things make me go...hmmm...and etiquette is one of those. In this episode I go over some pretty common etiquette themes that come up on FAM Trips and General Business interactions for travel agents. As mentioned, sometimes common sense isn't common, so while I'm not necessarily calling anyone out, I am calling out bad behavior that just needs to be left behind in 2024. Questions this episode answers: What is a FAM (familiarization) Trip? How to maintain professionalism on a FAM Trip? What should I do if I cannot attend a supplier event I registered for? What are general business etiquette tips within the travel industry? Can I share other people's social media content? How does email marketing work? What should I consider when naming my business or a business program? Enjoy (and take action)! --------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN the Cruise Content Library: https://programs.steeryourmarketing.com/products/courses/view/1166776 JOIN Marketing Business School: https://programs.steeryourmarketing.com/products/courses/view/1117728 Say HI on Social: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ritaperez19/ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/takethehelmvbs FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/529490048073622 Direct EMAIL: rita@steeryourmarketing.com…
