Re: Gifts, Trips, Prizes, for Copiers "Lawful or Could Land You in Jail?"
I think its a grey area. I've seen plenty of times where I've offered a TV or IPAD to someone and the owner tells the person who I worked with to keep it. Sometimes I have seen where the "company" keeps it....aka the owner takes it home with him.

But if a purchasing agent for a corporation takes that gift home, I'm thinking that agent could be in jeopardy of losing their job, right?

I would say so in a government situation l, absolutely, but I doubt much stink is made in private corporate business. I’ve seen it play out so many different ways I think it’s situational with each company.

Yes you are correct. The blinders go on when something is “given” to them. I’d be lying if i said I didn’t do it but the customer and everyone involved knows it’s there and listed on the proposal the whole time. I use it strategically with accounts I want and switch back and forth with things to keep competitors on their toes. Sometimes it’s a tv, sometimes it’s An iPad, sometimes it’s football tickets l, gift cards etc. it’s never the same for a particular machine or vertical market.

If its out in the open and done as a promotion as mentioned above as being part of the proposal there is no problem. If its done in the dark by the sales rep or if the customer demands a kick pack as a condition of doing business there is a serious problem.

But that gift should go the company or the owner of the company, not an employee of the company, correct?
