Tipping :: An Investment for the Business Traveler

Business Traveler's Guide to The Sweet Life #1- Pay extra attention to those who help and return the gift when possible. 

As the Global Events Director of the E.Factor, I can honestly say that I have the best job!  I get to organize events around the world on different topics of Entrepreneurship, meet people from all different backgrounds both professionally and personally, and best of all I have the opportunity to travel, a passion of mine.  Sound glamourous, I know. But, traveling can wear on you. And thus it is nice to have a place to return with familiar faces and smiles. 

This week I have been in Amsterdam for our last event on International Business Development (see recap here), which I do more frequently now that I have moved to Berlin, and as the E.Factor Amsterdam community is flourishing.  As a returning guest in Amsterdam, it is nice to have a hotel to call a home.  Mine happens to be the Rembrandt Classic right on the Herengracht.  

I am always friendly and appreciative to those who work there and upon my return this past trip I was greeted with an upgraded room with a balcony view of the grand canal. 

When I checked out I gave my two special friends there an envelope with a tip with a little thank you inside.  Not only did it make me feel great to reward those who are working hard, (any Entrepreneur can understand this) but it also makes me happy to know that I can return here to smiling faces.  
If you happen to stay there make sure you tell Neringa, Stephanie from E.Factor sent you. :)

    Hello Ms Frasco. I would like to ask, do you know of any great event planners in Berlin? I am looking to partner with an event planning company to do an event possibly in Berlin this Fall. If in Berlin, I may look at having the event in or near Columbiahalle. This will be a music+ VIP-style event (food, drinks light alcohol and other assorted drinks, and other benefits for guests). 10% of the cost per person for the event will be donated to Compassion Art (www.compassionart.tv) for fighting against global poverty, especially among children. I would love to get a price for an event like this, so I can begin looking for potential event sponsors. Any help is very appreciated. Thank you! Sincerely, Christi Pemberton Global Crest, LLC www.globalcrestmusic.com/world-music-podcast
