Remote Networking Tips #11: Change your face-to-face networking to “face-to-face.”
Networking is often done over coffee or during breaks at a conference, but meeting people in person is almost impossible at the moment. So move your regular networking routine to an online space instead.
However, instead of just settling for a phone call, set up a video call instead so that you can actually see each other.
A video call can make it easier to establish a connection and be authentic especially with someone new, or with someone you regularly converse with on the phone but perhaps have not met in person.
