If I got the gist of it right, he was even saying if you had to do a load of foreign travel (which might not be 100% predictable before the assignment starts), you should factor that into your day rate and never claim any expenses? Even if that's thousands of pounds. -

I'd never heard of him until he popped up on my LinkedIn a few days ago, presumably the same thread.

I have always charged the client for significant trips if I have to go to Walsall then they have to pay me! And Newcastle or Hull they have to pay me double.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

He's an agent.
He wants everyone to include expenses in day rates because he doesn't get his 10% on expenses, he only gets it on the day rate.
Simple as that. A self-serving agent who has no care for understanding business relationships.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

If its daily commute agreed with the contract then fine but if they want me to go on a trip to America / Spain / France then they pay the air fare & hotel just as they would if I was a big consultancy.
But as you say its an agent getting his 10%Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
