Re: [Coworking] Steelcase Think or Leap?

I’ve bought dozens of Think chairs over the years and really prefer them over the Leap, mostly because the design is just lighter and less…formal? robotic? And at some point, full adjustability becomes fussy, which is why I’ve never been a fan of the Herman Miller Aeron chair - way too many

Generally, I would say that a women only event should be lead and organized by a woman. If it's not, it'll be off-putting :) Angel On Thursday, August 10, 2017 at 8:13:52 AM UTC-6, wa...@renewacycle.com wrote: > > This is great. > > As I'm building the community for our space in small town

[Coworking] Re: Starting up a coworking space in Nashville

Have you considered locating your space just outside the edge of the revitalization area? Fort Collins has seen great success activating "blighted" neighborhoods with coworking and shared spaces of all kinds. It keeps the rent down but positions you well as new things pop up around you. Angel

[Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

Ashely, Thank you very much for replying! So for your 26 locations, are they franchise or solely owned? Do your locations' members have access to the other locations as they travel? How does that translate within each space--looking the member up, charging day passes or other charges etc?

[Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

Yes, all 26 locations are owned by us, and our members do have the ability to access any location. Once a reservation is made in the calendar (regardless of location), the system recognizes the home center of the account and adds any overage charge to the invoice at the home center. And your

Hi Jen- I think FB won't let me link the group, since it's private. You can access the group via the FB page, look on the left nav and click on groups. Alternatively, search for the group or friend me on FB and I'll add you! Excited to have you join us. Iris On Friday, August 11, 2017 at

[Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

Hi Jana- We use Occupie Operate (billing software), as well as Occupie Connect (phone and internet). We also used the software when it was HubCreate, and we have been so pleased with the changes that have been made since it has become an Occupie product. As Wendy said, the customer service is

[Coworking] Re: How to make members happy

"Happiness" is a moving target. Putting out a box of donuts is one thing. Creating an events around donuts where members have a chance to meet one another and share ideas is a whole other thing. Less focus on things, more focus on connection is a winning formula. Angel On Thursday, August 10,

[Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

Jana, I'm happy to talk through specifics with you. Have been using Occupie for 12 months now. First, customer service is outstanding - very responsive and helpful. The knowledge base (documented "how to's") is really top notch and they add content all the time. Usage ease - this has been

Hi Iris, I'm interested in your Facebook group! Both of the FB links you listed point to the FB page, though. Is there another link for the group? Jen Luby Dayhouse Coworking HIghland Park, IL Coming 2018 On Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 6:48:35 PM UTC-5, Iris Kavanagh wrote: > > Happy

Re: [Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

Thanks Jerome, Yes, Carr looks like its is mainly Executive Office spaces, where as we are coworking--flexible memberships (month to month) and private office 6-12 month agreement. What software do you all use at Blankspaces? On Friday, August 11, 2017 at 3:07:46 PM UTC-4, Jerome wrote: >

[Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

Ashley, Thank you again for replying. We are a franchise and need to be able to have members be charged at other spaces and have that revenue go to that space. Cost is a consideration as this is something we have as an expense for franchisees. On Friday, August 11, 2017 at 2:53:39 PM

Re: [Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

FYI. $500 is affordable to Carr likely because each of their spaces are large relative to a typical coworking space, and therefore $500 is a smaller % of the revenue. Jerome www.BLANKSPACES.com > On Aug 11, 2017, at 11:39 AM, Ashley Buckner > wrote: > >

[Coworking] Re: Feedback/thoughts on Occupie Essensys

Wendy, Thank you for replying! Have you only used Occupie or did you transfer from another software? As I understand it, Essensys just bought Hubcreate in 2016 that then became Occupie. So pretty young for the newly formed company. The cost seems so high verses other options. We are

[Coworking] Steelcase Think or Leap?

For 5 years, Cowork Frederick has operated with what most of our members would say are "adequate" $79 task chairs from Office Depot. One of the most frequent requests we get is for better chairs, ones rated for 8 hours of sitting and ones rated for over 200 pounds (to date, 5 chairs have been
