The Value of Face-to-Face


According to a recent Embassy Suites survey, business travelers found that emails and phone calls can't replace the value of face-to-face meetings. "Despite all the great technological advances, there is still no substitute for meeting someone in person," said Cynthia Good, CEO and founding editor of Little PINK Book, a leading digital platform for businesswomen. "Relationship-building is the best way to grow your business; getting to know someone in person and looking them in the eyes makes all the difference."

Despite the recession and companies trimming budgets, the need for face-to-face interaction has never been more important. According to a report from Meeting Professionals International (MPI), 40% of prospects converted to new customers through face-to-face meetings, while 28% of current business would be lost without face-to-face meetings.
