Fantastic comments; Yes. Inertia. A challenge. I'm currently in renewable energy, and helping people go solar illustrates that inertia. Heck, I'm a perfect example. I'd add the "Hectic Parent" to the commuter profiles. Our potential space is easily accessible to the local grammar school, high

We have about 85 companies and most have mail. We have virtual offices that are solely mail/business address, private offices that come with mail and desks that have a mail 'add-on' option (which is essentially a discounted virtual office.) We have 'plus services' that can be added, such as

Thanks for the input, everyone. Alex - great post on your toolkit and I may need to checkout that calendar tool since we use Google calendar now instead of the one in Cobot. As a solo owner-operator, one tool just simplifies so much for me, which is why I've been trying to move away from

I'm actually a little confused about the two things you're comparing, so I just wanna make sure I understand. Do you mean that you're trying to reach individual people who work in a company...? Or that you're trying to offer extra desks that a company has to people as an alternative place to work?

Hey Prisc! Are you saying that what you offer is more of a "heads down and focus" type workspace? Because there are LOTS of people who (think they) want that. But it sounds like you're trying to figure out how to reach those people, using the usual online channels, and that's not working so

The thing to be prepared for - that I frankly still haven't found a solution for - is how often people don't pick up their mail or packages. It's baffling. Smart, talented, professional, otherwise awesome human beings just leave mail for *months. *Unless it's a client check, of course. ;) People

Swiss Army Knives look great and are extremely useful in an emergency. But how would you feel depending on one to solve the same series of problems every day? Switching to using another multitool might improve things a little but for how long? Member communication, room bookings, CRM and billing

Hi there, I may have already posted this but I couldn't find it-I'm new here. Apologies if I have. I understand that hiring a desk in a company versus hiring a desk in a huge coworking building (like the ones wework establishes) are both in some ways quite different; or are they? >From

Afraid I don't have experience of Meshwork (we use Nexudus) but I have noticed that a) there's a lot of new systems coming out now/soon, and b) most of them aren't finished yet. In my opinion, now isn't the time to switch, but in 6 months the market is going to up a gear and there will be a
