[Coworking] Re: phone room for lots of calls at once?

[Josh Freed]

Alex.

In one of our spaces, we have offices that are divided by 4 dedicated 
desks. This rooms were setup and offered as a louder room for those that 
make more phone calls or attend more meetings than most. They all use head 
phones and spend most of the day on some sort of call. The room never has 
an open desk. I think if the rooms are offered with that in mind, it works 
well. The offices are 12x12 and include 4 sit/stand desks. 

Hope that helps give an example.

[Coworking] Re: Space/Desk "Reservation" Software

[Josh Freed]

Hey Liz,

I don't know of any online maps for specific selection but we have several 
spaces that name zones of memberships or placements of offices. If you 
would be interested, I would be happy to show you around Proximity Space 
software. We are working with several incubators and have had great success 
in connecting spaces around the country to each other. 

Let me know if you would like to chat.

[Coworking] Re: How do you take payments?

[Josh Freed]

Kevin.

Would be happy to talk to you about how Grand Junction launched their 
network 2 years before their space opened using the Proximity Space 
network. We are actively helping pre-launch as well as vibrant communities 
run the day to day. We own a network of spaces and those using our system 
provide actionable feedback to make the network better. This entire concept 
was just used for the State of Colorado Coworking 101 initiative, you can 
read more about that here: 
http://choosecolorado.com/programs-initiatives/colorado-blueprint/ . Feel 
free to reach out and we can chat if you are interested.
