Well, hey there, friends. It's Melanie Mitro, the host of the Melanie Mitro show. Welcome back for a new

episode this week. I hope you are enjoying your spring. I feel like everybody except my family is on

spring break, either last week or this week. And my school district, fun fact, weird fact,

is they don't do a spring break. We don't actually get a week

off and it makes me kind of sad because this would be a great time to get away. I mean, yesterday

earn some travel and would be great partners in my opportunity. So today, I'm going to just give

you a front row seat to what I do when it is time to

to prep and plan and get ready for an incentive trip and how do I use it as a marketing tool.

And I'm actually getting ready to go on our incentive trip in less than a month. So I guess,
