fb How To Develop Business Relationships Virtually | Growing Happily Events

How Can You Start Real Relationships Via Virtual Channels?

Growing Happily Together Series: E2 2024

Social norms have changed over the last three decades, particularly due to the rise of mobile phones and social media. Combined, these two technologies have transformed person-to-person interactions—and not necessarily for the better. Users of both platforms interact with others through the lens of their text messages, their DMs, or both. 

Meeting face-to-face to shake hands is growing rarer by the year, and human relationships, personally and professionally, are forever different. Good, bad, or ugly, we still need to find ways to connect with our future customers, suppliers, and employees. According to research, virtual business meetings have increased exponentially in recent years, growing from 48% to 77% between 2020 and 2022. Additional findings cite that 67% of business professionals believe virtual meetings are as productive as in-person sessions, and 43% consider on-camera meetings better for productivity.

Watch the replay of this interactive conversation with industry veterans to explore how to build business relationships that will flourish no matter the medium you use to start, nurture, and cultivate them.  
 

Together, we'll explore these topics: 

  • Ways to establish common ground and enable your connections to get to know and trust you
  • Ideas for unexpected acts of kindness that can act as a building block in virtually started relationships
  • Insight on how to use rich media, like pictures and video, to increase emotional connections
  • Tips on how to actively communicate to stay in your customer’s (current and future) consciousness
  • How to interact on a more individualized level, not just an aggregate one
