How to Negotiate Virtual Office
In this video I give 8 negotiation strategies plus lots of key supporting statistics to help you persuade your boss that working remotely is a win-win.
I've been able to live and work remotely in Panama, Prague and Budapest Hungary. Plus I've worked while visiting Norway, Greece, Italy and basically all around Europe.
In any negotiation it's important to understand the other person's motivation. The main reasons employers worry about virtual office are loss of productivity, inability to communicate quickly and collaboration capability.
