Does a meeting planner cost you money or save you money?
Many people realize that it would be helpful to have a meeting planner, but they are afraid that this is going to cost them a lot of extra money. But, the fact is, usually, it won't cost much more and it may actually help you save a few bucks...and more importantly, it will make your life simpler and help you run your meeting or even much smoother.
Why is that?
Well first and foremost, meeting planners do this every day. They know how things are supposed to happen and how to prevent the snags. Second, they know the right places to go to get you the best service and the best deals. Third, they often make some money from the commissions that the services provide...in the same way that a travel agent or insurance broker may work. It doesn't cost you extra - you get the same rate, but they are happy to provide the meeting planner with a modest commission as they brought them business they wouldn't have had without the benefit of the meeting planner.
