Are you a member of your local chamber of commerce? TALK to people! Whenever someone asks how are you, say "Great!! I recently opened a coworking space which is a modern version of the 80's executive suites. you know how you see people working in coffee shops around town? this is like the coffee shop without the screaming kids!:) Instead having to choose between a long commute to the corporate world, or working at home with all of those distractions, they can come to my place!" Be enthusiastic and commit to finding 10 people per day to TELL. You'll be amazed! good luck!:) (I do a lot of coaching for small businesses! Marketing and lead generating on a budget is one of my specialties. fee free to email me offline [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
