What Else Makes It So Effective?
Pat Katepoo’s Telecommuting Proposal Package stands apart from generic or self-written proposals because it positions you, the person, on your merits as an employee, along with the bottom-line benefits of telecommuting itself. Its solid proposal format paired with the value you’re bringing to the position is a compelling combination which delivers results: approval to work from home.
What’s in Your Package?
It’s not just a proposal; it’s a full-on planning and negotiation strategy package combining Format + Practical Planning + Solid Strategy. Make your request with confidence and expect your manager’s approval. Here’s what you get:
The Primary Proposal Template
Your Telecommuting Proposal is organized by four major sections: Introduction, Purpose, Plan and Summary. With persuasive words and compelling phrases, (a distinct advantage of this proposal over a generic one), the core PLAN section succinctly addresses each of the following areas:
- Schedule
- Job Responsibilities
- Communication
- Physical Set-up
- Compensation
- Benefits
- Savings (where applicable)
- Evaluation
Within each professionally-crafted section are places where you simply type in custom information based on your situation and job. A job restructuring exercise is included to help you with that step.
I received many positive comments on the overall organization of my proposal…It was helpful to have someone present ways to word things and give structure and flow…[your proposal] gave me confidence that I would not have had otherwise. Mary Beth McCarthy, Head of Corporate Communications, Attorneys’ Title Guaranty Fund, Inc., Champaign and Chicago, Illinois
A Completed Sample Proposal
Completed by someone who already used the Telecommuting Proposal Package and received approval, you can make minor edits to get a virtually instant end product.
I surfed for hours…while I found a lot of material, yours was the most in-depth. It’s nice to see actual proposal examples. Dana Thompson, Wichita, KS
Plus Scripted Replies to Six Common Objections
- “We’ve never done this before.” OR “It’s not our policy.”
- “If I let you do it, everyone else will want to do the same.”
- “Why do you want to do this anyway?”
- “Your type of job can’t be turned into telecommuting.”
You’ll be ready with a confident reply for each of these (plus two more), included in your copy of the Telecommuting Proposal Package.
Bottom-Line Benefits of Telecommuting
This section alone saves you hours of research time. Include these business-oriented citations to strengthen your case.
Our VP…was very impressed with the professionalism, detail, references and quotes… Shannon Bryant, Healthcare Analyst, Chesterfield, MO
Get Specific Negotiation Strategies
- Find out how to approach your manager with your proposal
- Know what to say to keep the discussion alive in the face of any resistance
It’s a planning guide, too. You get two pre-proposal preparation steps. These are workbook-type exercises to build your confidence in:
- your strategy – includes a technique for positioning yourself in the best light, reminding your manager of your value
- your presentation - includes approach and timing
- your negotiations – includes an item to insert in your proposal that makes it embarrassing for management to refuse your request
Bonus Template 1: Memo of Agreement Template
Based on follow-up surveys and 15+ years of customer feedback, most (80% or more) Telecommuting Proposal Package users get their proposal approved. After you get approval of your request to work remotely, use the Memo of Agreement Template to secure it.
Bonus Template 2: Evaluation Memo Template
After you secure your telecommuting arrangement, use the Evaluation Memo to reinforce your long-term efforts to sustain it.
Including the core proposal template (~ 5 pages), that’s close to 40 pages of practical planning and solid strategy to get telecommuting approved.

Are you a “work smarter” professional? Yes? Yes!
Your time is too valuable to zone out in front of the computer to write a proposal from scratch. Is your time worth at least $20 an hour? You save hours preparing your proposal, justifying the modest price.
I was putting together my own proposal and it was difficult to cover every aspect. [Then] I downloaded yours and handed my proposal in the following day. They were very impressed…Your blueprint made a concise, thorough and professional presentation. A. D’Amico, Monroe, New York
Separate from the time demand, starting from scratch means tackling tough questions which cause writing angst. You know:
- Where do I start?
- What should be included?
- How do I say it?
- What did I miss?
Your Telecommuting Proposal Package covers it all. Its fill-in-the-blanks format turns out an impressive and persuasive proposal document by tomorrow.
I have known for a long time that I wanted to do this, but didn’t know how to approach it. The guidance you provided was just the boost I needed to send me in the right direction. My boss was very impressed and approved it almost immediately even though telecommuting has not been done in this office before. I am so excited…Tracy Ayotte, Information Systems Administrator, CORE Research, Geneva, FL
