How does Bob handle expenses related to his presentations?
In addition to speaking fees, there is a modest $60 per diem (where applicable) to offset non-event included meals, etc. Incidentals (such as airport departure fees, shuttles, taxi’s etc, are limited to a maximum of $100 per engagement, unless otherwise agreed.) Mileage, as applicable, is .44/KM in Canada. Having been an event planner and an active consultant to the meetings industry, Bob pro-actively works with his clients to keep travel expenses to a minimum. Wherever possible he will travel coach fare discounted by clients sharing. If his schedule permits, he will travel to accommodate Saturday or multiple nights to maximize travel discount. Often, even after picking up additional night’s accommodation and per diem you (client) can save substantially on airfares. For example, on a trip to PEI for SUBWAY™, he saved his client over $800 (even after client coverage of meals and two additional nights.) In another example, Bob was able to save a New Jersey client close to $1000 by stoppi
