RE: [Coworking] Member questions

[Wendy]

Jamie,
Take a deep breath and remember to lead with kindness.  Just because he says it 
doesn’t make it true.  I would suggest that you refer him back to the policy 
you have in place then offer to help him sign up his employee as a member.  
Hopefully he will calm down and comply with the policy.
Best of luck,
Wendy

Subject: [Coworking] Member questions

I am having some issues with a member.  He is only a 5 day/month member and 
just hired an employee.  The issue is that he now thinks that his employee can 
be his "guest" everytime he is in our space.  One of our membership perks is 
that we don't charge for our members to have guests for a day. Our guest policy 
states that if a guest accompanies you more than 5 times in rolling 2 month 
period they are no longer considered a guest and must be put into a membership" 
. I feel totally taken advantage of by this member and he is very upset calling 
us "anti-employee" . 

Any suggestions on dealing with this?

Thanks,
Jamie

[Coworking] How do you handle members wanting to bring a client in?

[crystal . maynard86]

Currently writing policy and am fully aware that one of the big parts of 
freelancing is meeting with clients -- how do you navigate 
non-office-holding members having clients come in and meet them in the 
lounge/coWork space?

[Coworking] Group Membership/Rates for Rural Businesses at my CoWork Space??? Can't find any info on this!

[crystal . maynard86]

I am working on my pricing and packages (Plan to launch in April/May) 
 and a few local businesses that have multiple locations (banks, 
churches etc.) that have teams/groups travel between locations from time to 
time and don't have the office space seem to a need a cowork space 
semi-regularly are asking me if I will offer them a group rate so they can 
have up to 8 people per week use our facility as their coWork space...  
now, its my understanding that the "up to" 8 people will be different 
people depending on the week... so essentially X bank might have 24 people 
come through my doors once a month but instead of paying a membership fee 
for each person, they are asking me if I can give them one flat rate -- I 
am struggling finding information on how people price out a "group" 
membership... ANY insight would be extremely helpful!!

Re: [Coworking] Re: Recommendations for wifi printers for small-medium use

[Matt Greenwood]

Ah I see! Don't get me wrong - this printer has had it's day and has a
ridiculously high print count. I think in their eyes it costed them more in
storage. But it still works a treat!

[Coworking] tour scheduling

[AK]

Can Google Calendar be used effectively for people who want to schedule 
tours?  Currently, we are using Calendly and just considering other options.

By the way, does anyone know which program liquidspace uses for 
this?

Re: [Coworking] Spreading The Word About Coworking

[Trey Downes]

Congrats on the launch. I am in the process of opening blend, a coworking
space that blends the work life balance into a cohesive journey. I don’t
have the capital to open a large space, so my concept revolves around
renting residential row houses with dual purpose zoning.  I also have a ton
of ideas on how to improve coworking communities.  I would love any advice
on building a community first strategy that you may have.

Thanks

Trey

[Coworking] Re: Starting a cowork group community before opening a spca

[Fred Gallagher]

Hi,
I am also trying to start a community owned workspace here in Ireland and 
all this info will be a great help. I am especially in developing 
Podcasting to promote it and to make the studio and equipment available to 
the businesses there to promote themselves. This I hope will help to 
develop the notion of community.
