Welcome to the fourth season finale of Trade Secrets. This week, co-hosts Emma Weissmann and Jamie Biesiada welcome Royal Caribbean’s Vicki Freed, senior vice president of sales and business assistance and service, and Jamie Margolis, owner of the Dream Vacations Moms at Sea franchise, during the second part of a two – part series with Freed (listen to the first part here).
During the episode, Freed and Margolis talk about the importance of forming – and maintaining – a good agent-provider relationship, the “unicorn” cabins on board Royal Caribbean ships that offer more space for less money, the proposal of cruise value and more.
In two weeks, Trade Secrets will publish a special episode about the making of the podcast. It will return for season five two weeks later, on April 8.
