There's one point I don't entirely agree with. Do you have to meet with the client face-to-face? I mean, wouldn't a video call on Skype serve a similar purpose?

You probably would have been able to cater to clients from all over the world through video chat. Or is there something about face-to-face meets that makes your task easier?



Many, many clients expect face-to-face meetings. I have clients overseas and interstate (including some I've never met or even spoken to on the phone) but the majority are greatly comforted by meetings. Many have a strong preference for going through things in person as opposed to writing down requirements in an email.
