I admire the proactive behavior of these salespeople. I should forward this to all of my brokers. Assuming the hotel peeps don't start carpet bombing the site with solicitations, I think they offer welcome and useful information. Plus I always admire good sales people getting after it.

Just clicked on the Mustang Club Travel Package for giggles. Question: How much money does SMU get from the sale of these packages? I hope they get something or they just enjoy letting some third party ream their few loyal customers willing to travel to these type of events. Or I hope the owners of this third party travel company are big donors and this is just a little giveback for their generosity.
