Who will pay for GoToMyPC? You can suggest that they get the GoToMyPC account. Reason to them that getting it for a small amount each month would be worth it since they will be able to monitor your work.
Of course, with GoToMyPC, you will have to perform well since your clients are observing you. What I can say after experiencing working through GoToMyPC is that it does help to keep me focused and it has increased my output for the day.

Tips for speeding up GoToMyPC. In case GoToMyPC is running slow, go to the Preferences/Options and choose the lowest setting for speed and performance. Set it to 256 colors instead of 24-bit so that it will consume lesser bandwidth. I did try it on my 512 kbps connection, and I even did 3 GoToMyPC windows controlling 3 PCs at the same time, and it was no problem.
