Initiating, developing, and strengthening relationships globally (with people you don’t know yet) can feel daunting. Yet, it is proven to be most crucial.
- According to HubSpot, 85% of jobs are filled through networking.
- According to Oxford Economics, 75% of customers either require or prefer in-person meetings and executives claim that they would lose 28% of their business if they stopped networking.
Another study conducted by Forbes illustrates the top benefits of in-person meetings:
- 85% said they build stronger and more meaningful relationships.
- 77% noted it’s easier to read body language and facial expressions.
- 75% confirmed their ability to bond effectively with better social interaction.
- 49% said it allowed for more complex strategic thinking.
