I work in management consulting. Between fifty and eighty percents of my work each week is having meetings with my customers to figure out exactly what their problems are and work on solving them. You lose so much by being remote: body language, less formal moments like coffee breaks and lunch. It makes everything more complicated.

i do the same thing over the phone and through google meet. i don't ever have to go to see a client face to face. some clients i have are even across the country and i have never personally met them.

point being is that if you can navigate your clients through the correct questions, cut down on the small talk and have focused, guided meetings, there is no reason to have to meet someone face to face.
