225. Do You Walk Your Own Talk? My Experience Joining a Coworking Space
The coworking ethos promises a lot. Productivity, hospitality, community, networking, business growth, and more. I had a serious case of expectation failure when I toured two coworking spaces in the town next to mine...which was amplified when I joined one of them.
On this episode, we talk about:
How frustrating the tour experience can be when you can’t easily find the front desk
How going on a coworking space tour should feel like being on a great date
How it’s easy to use industry buzzwords but much harder to actually execute on things like hospitality and community
Why you should have someone shop your tour experience to see if your stated values align with the actual experience.
Why I’m thinking harder about offering 10-day passes
One approach you might take to kick-start your referral program
