Planning a great meeting takes sweat, negotiation, time management and a little finesse when trying to iron out those last minute details. We all know getting what you want isn't always easy, so tell us, how good are you at influencing your boss?

I’m the new kid on the block and could use a little work. #showmetheropes

My boss can be pretty tough but she and I can usually come to an agreement.

You know what they say, choose your battles wisely. I’m very selective about what I try to negotiate.

I’m a pro. Seriously, I should have been a lawyer.

Planning a meeting can take many shapes and everyone does it differently. Maybe you’re a DIY type or perhaps you prefer to outsource—there are no wrong answers. So, how do you source your meetings? (No judging, we promise.)

I’m your typical type-A meeting planner with a color-coded list of things to do from A-Z.

I have an internal meeting planner and she's a rock star.

I outsource everything through a full-service meeting planning company and I’m proud of it.

I use a third party for site-selection services only. I'm selective with who I give my time to, okay?

A low-key event or hosting all of Coachella? On average, how many room nights do you book per meeting?

Just a few. Less than 10.

Usually up to 50.

The sweet spot. About 100, give or take.

Too many to count. 200+

How many days does it take you to source and contract a venue? Ready, go!

1-3 days. I’m a wizard, Merlin’s got nothin’ on me.

4-10 days. People tell me I should teach a class.

11-24 days. I could tighten up my sourcing game.

25+ days. Cut me some slack, I'm dealing with too many cooks in the kitchen.

What types of meetings do you plan?

Incentive meetings. Rewards is my middle name.

Weddings and social events. #letthegoodtimesroll

Meetings, conferences or tradeshows. I’m not afraid of a challenge, the bigger the better.

All of the above. A little of this, a little of that.

At an event, you are:

Calm and collected. I’m in a permanent state of om.

A super delegator. I've got a color-coded spreadsheet and a task for everyone.

A little frazzled. I'm starting to feel the stress but it's nothing I can't handle.

I’m pulling my hair out. My co-workers often find me huddled in a corner counting to 10.
