Expense Accounts?

I'm interested in seeing how many people in the community have a budget for schmoozing clients. Has it helped you close deals you might have otherwise lost? What's the craziest thing you've seen a client do during an outing?

Does your company provide an expense account for entertaining clients?

Out on the town with a bigwig client (VP of a MAJOR company) wasted and aggressively went up to a dog in the bar and tried to pet it. The dog bit his nuts.

Expense accounts are cool, but racking up credit card points on the company dime is much cooler.

I don’t know has it helped me close deals, but it helped me keep customers.
Worse was when a client had one too many and tried to persuade me to expense a strip club outing. It was a Tuesday.
