Stuck in negotiations? Try Hootsuite's steak dinner clause
I highly recommend against doing this if you work at any sort of real company. Negotiating trips/dinners/tickets in a contract means there was extra wiggle room and you chose free stuff over getting the best deal for the company. There's a fine line between a business courtesy and a kickback, and you don't want to end up in a situation where someone is questioning if you crossed that line.The benefit they listed - building the relationship with the vendor - can be valid, but should/could exist as a regularly scheduled dinner that is expensed through normal policies.
