Hear! Hear! In person meetings are so much more productive due to the personal connection and shared environment. I’m a boomer and my younger co-workers roll their eyes when I suggest getting in the car and driving to a client’s location for a discussion. Yes, it’s often inconvenient due to traffic and perceived time loss, but it also shows you care about forging a deeper connection to others. Be the person your client actually knows, not the one they have only seen on a Zoom or Teams call. Not everything deemed “old fashioned” should be avoided, stand out from your competitors and make the effort to meet your business associates. Oh, and dress appropriately, too.
