When I started my co-working presence in Singapore (a little, 'big' city?), most chores listed by Angel were done internal i.e. my staffs, myself who also use the co-work area. As time goes, efforts are 'chipped in' by subscribing members. Maybe it's a 'pick up your own litter' mentality or the

[Coworking] hot seat / flex plans?

2011-05-03 Thread Bianca Rico
As we continue to grow we have been receiving more requests for different membership plans. I was hoping to get some information on those coworking spaces that have flexible plans such as purchasing allotted days or hot seat plans where members can rotate the membership between themselves and

This is where our basic membership has come in handy. Most people who duck out for a month or two of known away time almost always downgrade to basic membership. This keeps them in the loop, and they have a constant reminder that we're here for when they're ready. Rollover days and whatnot become

Thanks guys! Susan made an amazing strawberry rhubarb crisp and the office is going nuts. It's still hot from the oven and everyone is blissed out. Who's going to make you birthday sweets if you work from home? Coworking is awesome and maybe a little fattening. Jacob --- Office Nomads -

Our memberships are set up by days per week but billed monthly so if they travel and miss a few days they can use them up in the same calendar month. I don't roll over into future months b/c I also think it discourages regular participation. I also create custom plans when people need it. Once

Our office manager knows that if a lite member is in more than 3 days in a week it's not a huge deal unless it becomes a habit...and then we just mention it to them. Like Angel said, encouraging rather than discouraging participation is a more valuable stance long-term than nickel and dime-ing
