I find it amazing that companies are still flying people around in 2021.
It's like printers - why the fuck haven't we fixed this yet? Digital signing has been a thing for years. Get over the paper thing ffs.

Because the client wants to see you face to face, and if you don’t accommodate them then they tend to gravitate towards doing business with companies who will. It’s that simple, sadly.

Thing is, technology may have evolved but people haven't. Our logical and rational software runs on an OS that's basically emotional.
I don't travel often but when I do get to go and spend a week with people and go through stuff together in person, eat with them once or twice, maybe go out for drinks together, it changes everything about how we work together afterwards and that lasts for the rest of the time we work together.
I can see we (humans) might have to say "Nope, can't do that anymore and that's that" but it's not a no cost switch.
(But you are so right about the printers.)
