D’oh... Realized I accidentally booked the Sheraton instead of the Westin across the freeway, for the same number of points (7,000). 😞🤚

Deloitte rates have a standard 6pm check in date cancellation policy for SPG. I would think most corporate rates are the same.

And yes, I can confirm the Westin at DFW is trash and the Sheraton is better

I stayed at The Westin for 1.5 years and 0.5 year at the Sheraton. I personally prefer The Westin, but the Sheraton has a concierge lounge, which is a plus. Someone on FB posted that there was a case of bedbugs at the Sheraton... just FYI...

Lmao D'oh

I’m gold 😫 already checked in and they did upgrade me... I’ll try and pay better attention next time

You can cancel until 6pm of check in date right? Or is that just for Marriott Hotels?

Marriott only I think. I booked this last night and the free cancellation period had already passed

Dallas galleria?

Sheraton there is better than the Westin IMHO

All about that Sheraton, so much better. Though I heard the Westin was getting renovated so idk

The only other way to keep the miles is to pay $10 per 1000 miles, as far as I know. Are there other strategies?

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.

I work as a consultant for a small HR consulting service in Ontario, Canada. Our owner/president wants us to hit a revenue target of $1m this year. The closest we’ve come is $800k in 2019. We also noticed that in 2019 we hit our highest revenue but did the fewest overall client work for that year. In 2020 and 2021 we did more client work but fell short of $800k revenue. Our avg rev per client is $2500, with a lot of single projects @ $500. Does it makes sense to increase our prices?
