Coworking & Shared Office Space made simple.
We're a sales and consulting agency that matches companies and individuals with coworking and shared office solutions, and supports coworking spaces by optimizing their processes, maximizing their visibility, and supplementing their staffing with industry experts.
So what do we actually do?
We help people and companies find shared offices and coworking spaces.
Tapping into our partner network of coworking spaces across the country, we help individuals and teams of every size identify and secure their coworking and shared office space needs. We’ll contact operators, get their direct and accurate inventory with as much detail as possible, negotiate terms to best protect your interests, and help you secure the space once we find a good fit.

At no cost to the client, we’re always happy to discuss what you’re looking for in a new space. Already have a space but looking to grow or add another satellite office? Wherever you are in the process, we’re ready to help find sustainable options that meet your team’s needs.
We help coworking spaces design and develop their sales systems.
With more than 15 years of experience designing and developing CRMs—as well as selling and retaining members as coworking operators ourselves—we take a look under the hood, examine your processes, and provide tailored guidance and implementation support. We understand the full sales pipeline: from getting tours booked, to managing the customer journey to and through the contracting process, to building robust renewal and retention pipelines, we’re ready to make an impact on day one. More details can be found here.
We’re also happy to provide trainings or re-trainings based on our findings, as well as ongoing maintenance. Hourly support is also available for CRM design and logic development.
We help with sales and operations support staffing for coworking spaces.
Have staffing gaps or need some additional help? For coworking spaces that need temporary, targeted, or centralized support, our team of coworking veterans has the background, training, and expertise to provide account management and remote sales support on an hourly or retainer basis, using your existing systems. We hit the ground running with minimal training required to make sure your team has the coverage it needs.
Flexible hourly packages with accessible term options makes us the best option to scale your sales teams quickly and affordable. Learn more on our staffing packages page.
