Ep. 79 - Relationship Management: Building Rapport and Real Connections in a Virtual World - with Marc Angelos

Strategic Momentum

In the midst of widespread isolation, physical distancing, and global stress and anxiety, fostering human connection is more important in this COVID world than ever before; we all have the innate need to create a social rapport with others.

Even before the pandemic, the desire for real relationships in business and the workplace had given way to a trend towards transactional relationships — and that trend is only picking up pace.

Marc Angelos is a relationship manager and former Wall Street trader who has made communication and relationship-building his primary focus. A self-described “people person,” Marc has always used his ability to truly connect with people and build trust to help him navigate the sales process in the finance industry. He’s spent the last 25 years managing senior business relationships on Wall Street, which have taken him around the world and back. In his time, Marc has authored more than 100 articles on connecting with business customers, and his writings have been featured in outlets such as Bloomberg and Traders Magazine.

Presently, Marc helps professionals break down the barriers keeping them from developing meaningful relationships inside and outside of work through his communications firm Anvictus. In this episode, he offers advice for networking in the COVID climate and how you can cut through the digital noise, shares how to avoid the most common virtual networking mistakes, and helps us build meaningful connections through trust, transparency, vulnerability and authenticity.
