I have probably said in here before: When in telecommunications, I started with Video Conferencing systems in 1987. I used video and audio conf systems and then, when I changed jobs, from home for the last 20 years.
There is no real substitution for being there. Video can help a lot after you have made contact (and hopefully contract) but you have to be there.

When they show you around their premises (be they supplier or client) you can spot things and asks questions about detail that is otherwise beyond you.
