Here are the links to my previous blogs: How to negotiate when planning an event. Sometimes it is worth looking outside of London (or any major city) for venues, even if some people have to travel it could save lots on the overall budget. Event budgeting is a major MAJOR factor in organising any event.

Once the recession really hit home my Director’s budget was cut quite drastically and she asked all of us to think of ways to cut back on costs. It is easy to negotiate on the price per night with a serviced apartment as they do tend to discount on block bookings. In comparison hotel rooms at a similar price in London are very small.

Try to attend training courses that are offered for executive admin as much as you can (even if it is just one time a year and you travel to another city for it). If training/travel aren’t an option it may be a goal to strive for as a reward for a job well done. Thanks for submitting your question on networking in your area.

Executives travel all over the country. Assistants should be a business partner to their executive, so start acting like a business partner and convince your manager why you should be allowed to travel out of state. Negotiate if necessary. Most of the time assistants tell me they can’t attend our programs because of budget cuts.

Firstly I put a little infographic together on various seating arrangements and then I shared some top tips on how to negotiate with a venue. For example the objectives and the budget should be confirmed way before where and when is thought through. The price point for this can be negotiated. What is the food like?
