Flying with Flybe
Why conference calls don't work
As you know, here at Flybe we believe that business is better face to face, and we're not alone:
- Overwhelming majority, 81%, of corporates believe that a slow economy calls for more client contact not less
- For every 60p invested in business travel companies realise a return on £7.60
- Executives and business travellers believe that 28% of current business would be lost without face to face meetings
- Face to face business will convert 40% of prospective customers compared to only 16% without face to face contact
- 25% of customers could be lost to a competitor if existing customers are not met in person
- Prospects are more than twice as likely to become new customers through face to face meetings
- 61% of corporates believe that an increase in business travel would result in a positive impact on revenues
