Re: [Coworking] Re: Question about commissions or bonuses for Community Managers

[Iris Kavanagh]

Barbara- I hear what you are saying about not capping. Are you willing to 
share what the biggest single profit share payout you've been able to give 
has been?

Re: [Coworking] Re: Google Calendar Room Booking App - Do You Know One?

[Barbara Sprenger]

Got it, Bernie. Sounds like the getaroomapp route may be your best bet! As an 
aside, we use Google Calendar for scheduling each other, and you just have to 
share your calendar with the people you want to be able to schedule on it. Not 
sure that works for you, but maybe!

Hey Keith,

How does GetARoom work with adding/removing new users?

 Boys and Girls,

 We are looking for something SUPER SUPER simple that will enable

 Phil has a Google Apps account and even when the Meeting Room calendar
 is shared and set to 'public' it stays on 'view only'.

 If you know of a very light touch meeting room booking software that
 works with Google Calendar that would work too.

 A full blown CRM / room booking/event suite/coworking software package
 would be overkill.

 Thanks ;-)

Hi Bernie,
We've had success using getaroomapp.com.  It keeps track of how many hours 
per month a member is using, and can set usage limits as well.
Good luck!

Re: [Coworking] Re: Question about commissions or bonuses for Community Managers

[Barbara Sprenger]

I kind of agree with Scott. When I used to be a rep, I hated it when a 
percentage was capped — I produced more but made less of it. Also, in our 
business, with high fixed costs and low marginal costs, you’re making more on 
last dollar, so there really isn’t a reason to cap.

 Hi all,
 We really like using bonuses. Our center managers get 5% of profit each 
 month. It's a good way to incentivize -- it says you're sharing in what 
 the center produces, your input is valued, it's not just for generating a 
 sale, it includes running an efficient center and keeping people. We

 I'm exploring commission and bonus structure for a couple of clients right 
 now. I have traditionally shied away  from using commission for community 
 based coworking spaces because I was concerned about the impetus to sell 
 rather than the impetus to create community. 
 
 At this time, I'm exploring this option for two clients who, for various 
 reasons, would not be at risk of those concerns. 
 
 Does anyone have experience with using commission as part of the 
 compensation package? 
 How have they worked for you? 
 How did you structure your commissions? 
 Was it based on percentage of revenue or percentage of salary? 
 What tiers do you work within?
 
 Thanks in advance for you thoughts!

Re: [Coworking] Re: Question about commissions or bonuses for Community Managers

[Scott Tillitt / BEAHIVE]

Alex, why the cap? Doesn't that also max out the incentive to outperform?

[Coworking] NYC Masters Candidate Students Want to Explore Coworking

[Joy Stephan]

Hi All,

A few (3) Organizational Change Management students from my alma matter 
want to learn about coworking spaces. In particular, they'd like to see 
different types of spaces and talk to members briefly about their 
experience. They are all adults who will be respectful of your members' 
time- They are already set up to visit Grind and the Centre for Social 
Innovation. If you have a space, and are open to having a student join you 
for an afternoon in the kitchen area, or other high traffic non-work area 
that would be appropriate, DM  me and I'll share more 
details. 

Happy Friday! Joy

[Coworking] Re: Coworking de Arte

[Darlan]

Saludos desde Brasil!

Entre mi feed de noticias, los espacios que más me llaman la atención son 
ESDIP España + Alemania GUAJA en Brasil y Duke Estudios Reino Unido.
Creo que son buenos puntos de partida, vale la pena investigarlos.

Buena suerte y perdona mi horrendo español

[Coworking] Community Kick off

[wayne]

Hey there;

At long last we're having a get together of folks interested in the space I'm 
working on at a local restaurant that's helping get this going. It's an 
afternoon 
of working in their space, followed by a "meet & greet" where I'll share a 
vision for what we're building, share preliminary membership levels and 
amenities, and solicit feedback. Then, we're welcome to hang out and eat / 
imbibe 
together.

Any thoughts on how to make thins first connection the best it can be? 
Event is next Tuesday 3/28, http://hinesburghub-kickoff.eventbrite.com

Thanks!

Kindly,

[Coworking] Re: Local Government and Coworking

[Rik Ahlberg]

Hi Carina,

I'm on the board of a non-profit that is working to open a space that's a 
mix of artist studios, coworking, civic space, and economic development 
resources. We successfully sought a town Economic Development grant last 
fall and just signed a land development agreement for a long-term lease of 
a 9,000 sf town building.

The grant we received was primarily to do the market survey and analysis to 
identify needs of the local community and find out what kinds of resources 
they are looking for in a creative workspace.

It was important in our process to really quantify the economic need. We 
sourced lots of detail from prior reports and studies that have been done 
before, especially as it relates to very small business (1-4 employees), 
the incomes of year-round artists, and the lack of affordable office and 
studio space.

You can find more details of our project on our web site at

Re: [Coworking] Re: Google Calendar Room Booking App - Do You Know One?

Thanks Barbara - the thing is we have one room and are looking for
something that works directly with what we use - Google Calendar / Slack /
Trello.

Have a remarkable day
