Creator's Key Takeaways

One contract with Steiner turned into a 10-year career on board cruise ships.

If you are considering working for the onboard spa and you are extremely uncomfortable with the idea of selling, I was extremely uncomfortable with selling when I first went on.

Steiner is renowned for being hard work, for being rigorous, and it is.

The company don't really care about that. They care about how much product you can sell.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get good at sales because it is a required skill and will impact your earnings and time off.
Prepare for a high physical workload and long hours.
