In my experience the key to this is to sell in the method the client wants to be sold. People want to automatically jump on a Zoom call, send a pitch deck or have a phone call. In my business it is all about the numbers, so none of those move the needle. If looking to borrow money, explain what you need, why you need it and prove you have the ability to repay it. If you can't sell me based on the numbers, nothing you tell me is going to change that.
