CJay, The thing we do most often when talking about coworking is to get people to understand that they are not renting a desk, but joining a membership organization which supports independent and remote workers. This is a crucial distinction, because it draws discussion away from mere amenities and services, and instead to the challenges faced by independents and remotes and how coworking can help them meet those challenges. We explain how social and professional isolation; distractions caused by laundry, dishes, pets, loud espresso machines; lack of a good place to meet clients; and a host of others; are solved by coworking. We also talk about how being surrounded by a diverse group of people - diverse in age, background, profession, skills and capabilities - can lead to the exploration and collaboration on things people never even thought of before.
Once we set people straight on what coworking is and is not, then the questions we get about our space is mostly about the community, not the amenities. People ask who's there, what they do, why they came, and how Workantile can help them with whatever problems they are having in their work situation. There are also, of course, questions about cost, access, use of conference rooms, etc, but there is so much more to talk about besides those things.
