What is causing the increased trend of requiring receipts for per diem expenses? Do you think it’s tax issues? Clients/firms not wanting to reimburse alcohol? General stinginess?

Too many people talking about questionably ethical uses of expense dollars on a forum where leadership is also present and not dumb?

Two options come to mind immediately:
Client MSAs / agreements negotiated to limit costs
Partners on fixed fee projects leveraging this as a profitability buffer

I thought with per-diem you just get the $$ no matter what?

Sometimes it’s clients that require receipts

I haven’t personally noticed a trend.... all of my projects have a reimbursable expense budget set at a % of fees.

Per diem typically means a fixed amount. What you’re describing is an expense cap with a receipt requirement. Generally clients want to reimburse actual expenses and cap them because they end up paying less out of pocket

HELP! B2G and now adding B2B accounts!

I've worked for my company since August and I've mainly been prospecting in behavioral health centers.

However, the other two AEs want me to support them (only BDR) and they handle corporate employee accounts/non-healthcare.

Anyone have any tips for the B2B space and who I should prospect? They didn't give many pointers lol.
