Curious what peoples thoughts are on setting up in-person meetings, even though there is a high possibility that the meeting needs to be switched to a virtual format? Since flights have not been booked or got approval to meet with X Client.
For instance, let's say you send a message to someone stating, "I am going to be in Boston on June 5th, are you free to connect while I am in town?" However, you might not receive approval to fly and meet them in person, so a week out you include a Teams Link and switch it.
These emails typically get people to stop ghosting however, it kinda of seems sleezy
The leads to me thinking if is okay to set in-person meetings with no flights booked or approval yet with a low % of it actually happening. Does it set false expectations and lead to future distrust?
Or is it best to book the meeting and no matter what you get to reconnect with them
