This is a question Brits Abroad

Union jack shorts, bulldog t-shirts, bars named after soap operas, hen parties in Malaga. Tell us about your encounters with the worst (or best) of our fair country's travelers around the world. Alternatively, tell us about your own doomed quest to find a decent cup of tea in Moscow.

terrible homophobia

True, but if you want to get better clients and more money it is a bullet you have to take by taking
the better clients to West End shows. Or Prague, where you order a box of matches and ...

ah go on ... I'll bite ... what are you prattling on about?
I genuinely can't think of a single industry where you'd win better clients with musical theatre.

Any industry with a higher than average proportion of fops, ponces and dandies?
So, basically, the musical theatre industry.

this seems reasonable

No the clients have to be married and want to impress the wife and kids that they get great seats
at a London West End show that simply no one else can get - etc. etc. etc. - fucking corporate entertaining innit. Lion King closed me some um big deals.

lol povvo shit clients

Yes dear, you would know all about them given the limited amount of information I gave to you.

they can be won over by a few hundred quid of tacky hospitality
what else do I need to know?

Froth made Starbucks a fortune.
Are you more accustomed to BAE levels of corruption?

nobody uses hospitality as an incentive in consultancy
it wouldn't make any sense - a handful of Lion King tickets would cost less than I'd charge to chat to them on the phone

nobody from a zillion dollar tech company needs us to butter then up

Zillion dollar tech companies - are these off-world?

mostly US and Europe and Japan

You do genuinely lack any sort of lateral thinking. Shall I get the crayons out and draw a picture.

(, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 14:06, closed)
a simple written answer would be fine

(, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 17:34, closed)
No. I cannot possibly think of a simple enough answer to explain corporate back pissing on.

(, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 19:39, closed)
right ... but how about answering the question I actually asked
that's usually more conducive to conversation
(, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 19:45, closed)
what question, there was a massive assumption made by you about all industries. Good job
the corporate entertainment industry does not rely on your considered opinion as you only deal with ZILLION dollar companies.
(, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 19:57, closed)
read your original post again ... you seem to have confused yourself
nobody in a serious business wins clients through hospitality, particularly since the 2010 bribery act

that doesn't mean people don't offer hospitality ... I was given a rather nice lunch by a client the other day as it goes ... in fact I'd say at least two thirds of hospitality I get is paid for by our clients and not the other way around

any of those cunts want me to sit through an Andrew Lloyd Webber and they can whistle though
