And it was fantastic. I thought it was brilliantly generous of them.

Sheesh. If you want your own room in the hotel of your choice, pay for it yourself.

My travel policy is you pay for your rooms but I'll pay the tips. We also pay for all your bus tickets and you'll be on the road about 75% of the time. Greyhound is a great deal. I'll give you a per diem of $1 for breakfast, $2 for lunch and $3 for dinner which will get you a McDouble, a drink and fries.

Did I mention it's 100% commission work and you provide your own laptop and office supplies? You're also responsible for finding your own leads. My agent fee is a low $100/day payable in advance and 95% of all revenues.
