Why do you think clients feel that remote workers are less
attractive? I get that a lot too and would be glad to hear different
points of view. Between Skype, SVN, Basecamp and other online tools;
working remote works great, but some (most?) clients wont go for it
and I'm trying to understand/figure out why. Even with the option of
being onsite for project kick-off, I still see a real aversion.
Although I do work with one firm where pretty much everything is done
in a remote fashion, PM on the West Coast, developers North East, UI
guys South East and think work very smoothly as long everyone is
professional.
What are your observations?
