When I was working as a consultant most of my clients were large companies and name dropping when booking (still) can go a long way in terms of discounts :) I work for myself now, most of my money comes through my websites with the occasional programming project here and there.

I used to work at big Fortune 100 companies for 14 years...I can certainly give those a try! Plus - the discounts are normally better than the discount websites as I recall. So Anil...who do you WORK for?! Great reminder for me! I used to work at big Fortune 100 companies for 14 years…I can certainly give those a try!

My colleague and I work for a University in London and have just managed to arrange a Corporate Discount with a nearby gym and Thai restaurant just by asking. It's addictive. Now we're going to try some more places... This is such a good idea.

I'd never thought to think like this ... always just assumed I was a little guy without any clout. :) If I can work up the guts, I'll give this a go. Thanks! Great suggestions.

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:05:43 +0000 http://www.foxnomad.com/?p=5042#comment-56738 Hi John,Some companies have special agreements that are often below the retail price. It's like a game of mix and match but if you line the right ones up you can find a good deal. It's a lot of effort but can come in handy at the last minute. That said with some time and bending of the truth you can uncover some great deals. Hi John,

Wouldn't you get better deals if you looked for a discount online and booked in advance? Hi Anil,
