Let's talk about some business fundamentals that keep coming up for travel advisors and agency owners. 

Whether you're brand new or you've been in the industry for years, these seven reminders cover everything from E&O insurance and legal agreements to charging fees with confidence and protecting yourself through clear client communication.

These are the things that will help you run a stronger, more protected business while standing firm in your value as a professional.
