Calling all outside salespersons or friends of outside salespersons or spouses of outside salespersons or people who once knocked boots with an outside salesperson.....

I'm wondering.... in the realm of professional outside salespeople.... how many are issued a company card vs using their own card and applying for reimbursement later?

Let's be clear, this is for professional outside sales people who travel, real travel, and are required to wine and dine clients.

Yeah, fortunately we worked this out. I'm glad, I was pissed. My boss was thinking it would behoove him to have me expense everything on my own card and then them reimburse me. (I spend upwards of 5K a month in expenses including travel.)

Luckly, he actually ventured out with me and clients tonight and gained a new appreciation for what I do. Apologies were made and I'm expecting my own virtually limitless card next week.

Thazzzzzzz right bitches.

It's fucking hard to take business people out and ensure everyone has a good time. This is something I'm quite sure only a Gem could do..... an Aries mooner Gem at that.

Luckily, I wrote a potential fuckton of business for this year in one single relationship building outing.

Dinner, drinks aaaaaaaaaaaaaand sales. That's right bitches.

Hi, I'm someone who hires outside sales people and inside sales people..and all sorts of sales people 🙂 Also from H-Town btw haha. Well, we have a company issued credit card and all business related expenses are to be charged to that card. For sales, that means almost everything gets charged. They also get company vehicles.

I have 4 cats and two dogs as well as a bird. I have paid help who look after them as well as my brother who lives with me currently. 🙂 They also have many luxuries including the CatGenie to ensure they have a tip top living enviroment.

My dogs also travel with me while I'm off working throughout the south.
