This past month I've had a lot of business choices to make. I'd be interested in hearing other people's perspective from similar businesses/communities.
For coworking places that earn enough to pay salaries to all staff including the owners, I'd be interested to hear: - How do the community manager and the business owner roles overlap and how are they different? - Specifically I'm interested in the role of sales. Is the community manager expected to sign up members without members talking with the business owner? How do you hire a community manager who can do sales almost as well as, or better than, the business owner? - Do you have staff who are paid full-time (or half-time or more) who do not do sales? - For every 10 people who visit to tour, or for a trial day, what % do you expect to sign up that day, and what % do you expect to sign up later on? (I'm especially interested in people who sign up for memberships that are over $175 per month.) - Do any coworking places sign up more than half of members before the potential members visit? (I know that some places specifically want people to visit before signing up, but I don't have that as a requirement and sometimes people have signed up before visiting, which I always enjoy.) - Which business owners integrate their coworking places into their second businesses, where the two businesses support each other and share the same vision? What issues have you had with that, and what successes?
