the ups-and-downs and sides-to-sides of the little things that make up life
This list is from my BBF:
Jaime’s Top 10 Reasons on why being on the vendor side doesn’t STINK.
10. Unlike a comp # which has no material value off-property, I get to keep my Diner’s Club points that accrue from client wining & dining and it’s only 100,000 points for a $100 flight voucher!! On my way baby!
9. Gym clothes on non-meeting days are perfectly acceptable. In fact, so are pajamas.
8. Home cooking beats EDR any day!
7. Unlike a hotel pool, which is reserved for guests, afternoon swim breaks are encouraged at the Acxiom Las Vegas home office. J
6. I can order my own office supplies and they are shipped overnight to my doorstep.
5. I am a much better negotiated in my personal life becoming quite adept at using phrases like, “yeah, I really don’t have the budget for that” and my personal favorite “I really want to work with you, but I can only afford X”. Amazing how often it works!
4. No basement at the Acxiom Home Office means lots of windows and no risk of a guest accidentally leaving their in-suite Jacuzzi on to flood home office flooding. (Yes folks that happens!)
3. 24 hour IT support via a toll free number is pretty nice.
2. Beer: thirty comes early on Fridays.
AND… the # 1 reason being on the vendor side doesn’t stink…..
1. Entertaining the Travel & Entertainment sector is A-L-R-I-G-H-T!
