Working on a remote basis offers you the benefits of being able to tap into a wider pool of talent, work across different time zones, and reduce office overhead. But at the same time, you don’t have the same advantages that face-to-face communication can bring. Most people will open the email eventually and get the message.

Getting clients to self-schedule is such a HUGE time-saver as it eliminates the back and forth of emails. They then compare their schedule to your availability and when they find a suitable time slot they will go ahead and book that time with you. See what a huge time-saver it is! My answer was a big NO-NO!

But I think that when you cross borders or more importantly, time zones, you really have to rethink how you’re going to organize a company. This is now the ultimate retention tool, right. I think learning and development is going to be that major tool to keep people in the company. You had to show up early.

In fact, there are whole industries built around productivity and finding ways to help people improve their time management and results.
