Direct Sales
• The popularity of communicating virtually—whether through e-mail, instant messaging,
LinkedIn, Twitter, or other social media channels—has had a significant impact on the
speed at which information can be obtained.
• It also has led some marketers to question the role face-to-face communications can
play in building a brand. However, 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 percent of prospects
converted to new customers through face-to-face meetings, while 28 percent of current
business would be lost without face-to-face meetings
(http://www.mpiweb.org/Libraries/NTA-Reports/Meetings_Deliver.pdf).
• The reality is there’s room for both face-to-face and virtual tactics in any company’s
communications strategy. Here are some benefits of both approaches, plus an example
of how they can be combined to maximize return on investment.
• At its core, face-to-face engagement creates a personal connection and builds trust
between a company and its target audience. A warm handshake, engaging conversation
and getting to know customers and prospects on an individual level can play an
important role in forming stronger, more meaningful and profitable business
relationships.
