This Is Why I Meet People In-Person
In today’s digital age, it’s easy to rely on virtual communication for networking. However, there’s an undeniable value to in-person meetings that goes beyond a video call. In this episode of The Daily Hint, I share my recent experience at a trade fair and how face-to-face interaction elevated my networking to the next level.
Meeting in person creates a deeper, more meaningful connection, which is often missing in digital interactions. Personal meetings allow for richer engagement, building trust and rapport that can be carried forward into online follow-ups. These interactions aren’t just about exchanging business cards but about forming real, lasting bonds that open doors for future opportunities.
If you’re looking to advance your career or expand your network, I encourage you to prioritize physical meetings when possible. They can lead to stronger relationships, giving you an edge in the digital world by enhancing the quality of your professional connections. It’s not about replacing digital interactions but about using both strategically to nurture long-term relationships.
In-person networking is a game changer. It’s a powerful tool in creating loops that support ongoing collaboration, trust, and mutual growth in a professional setting. Listen to this episode to explore how integrating more personal meetings into your networking routine can provide a lasting impact on your career.

Meeting people in person is the next level of networking. I have been out traveling the last couple of weeks and got back into the physical world where we have a booth at a trade fair where we met with people in person and I just see the difference in the networking environment when you are in person.
So one of the things I'm doing now consciously going forward, meeting people more in person and these personal connections that are way deeper when you meet in person. So whatever you are after, if you want to have. an amazing career, I encourage you to use personal meetings for networking opportunities for yourself so that you create better bonds with the people that you meet again in a digital environment and these bonds are creating loops where you can nurture your relationship going forward.
Physical meetings are game changers and sometimes we just think digital is the best, but I think the combination is something that we are all after.
