Our company has a travel department, why do we need DCI Groups
assistance?
Answer: In many cases the travel groups handle the very large events
and/or they charge your department for their services. You may be able
to save money over what your department would be charged. Also, some
companies have the executives (and administrators) handle their own
smaller and recurring meetings. DCI Groups can be a great time and cost
saver for these types of meetings.
How can your hotel site selection process be FREE ? Nothing is FREE
anymore!
Answer: Our commission on the hotel piece is paid directly by the
hotel. They consider this an extension of their sales costs, and pay us
directly. Through our negotiations we can still get great deals for our
clients.
OK this is sounding pretty good, but what about the POINTS (reward
programs)?
Answer: The standard points will always go to whomever your company
designates as the recipient. Any points negotiated above the standard
amount, go to DCI Groups.
I'm in trouble, I have a gazillion things to do at work, and now I

How much time is needed to plan an event?
Answer: It all depends on the size of the event, and the event goals,
but if you contact us we can give you an idea of what is involved.
Wow, it sounds like you guys do it all. Are there things you don't
do?
Answer: Yes. We don't handle events with less than 10 total room
nights, and we don't tell you something because we know it is what you
want to hear. We will communicate with you what we feel are the issues,
and help with the decision process.
So you are planning our hotel selection for FREE, getting us a great
deal, and will help with all of the other items as well...Wouldn't I be
crazy not to do this?
Answer: Well we don't like to think of our potential clients as
"crazy", but we know we can provide some stress relief by saving you
time on the event planning process, and whether you are planning your
first event or you have planned many, we feel we can be a valuable asset
to your company.
