Learn how to ask the right intake questions, tailor your recommendations with confidence, and choose suppliers that align with your client’s vibe while streamlining your backend workflow. You’ll also hear how to use itinerary builders and Loom walkthroughs to add a personal touch, plus tips for setting clear expectations, managing revisions, and keeping timelines on track without burning out.
