Creator's Key Takeaways
never take cash make sure all payments are done with client's credit card
check all emails frequently in box and spam and junk folder because this is where some information from the hotel or the supplier the vendor the cruise line or the airline will send you information
the contract is between the hotel and the client the group not Archer travel or the agent
