It has to do with habits, people are used to having face to face meetings, especially employees. When entrepreneurs email for a meeting I often suggest a meeting on Skype. I even do training and mentoring via Skype. When people really want it you can agree to meet, but if you do business with people from all over the world you can't visit them all. Also, when I do talk with people via Skype (with video) for the first time, they agree that it actually is a very comfortable way of meeting. Close to physical and saves a lot of time (travel). I am not saying that you should eliminate all physical meetings, but you make the meeting more effective by interacting and getting to know people via social networking sites. To make it even more effective you can have a first conversation via Skype with video. Hi Mariano, thank you for this addition.

But if people <em>feel</em> the need for it, you will experience a business fiasco if you decide to ignore this need.
