Coworking Space is Better than a Coffee Shop--and at Office Evolution Somerville, the Cost is the Same

You’ve put in the long hours and hard work required to build a great reputation as an independent professional. You’ve created a life that allows you to work when you’re most productive and wherever there is an internet connection. Congratulations! This is no walk in the park. Now that you’re running a successful business, it may be time to consider ditching the coffee shop for a different type of office space.  Coworking space and on-demand offices provide everything you need to take your business to the next level. As you consider the next step for your business,  consider how on-demand office space can benefit you.

Professionalism

Inviting potential clients out for coffee in a casual setting is one thing. If you’re trying to make a professional pitch, it’s important that you have a space that has all of the necessary equipment, a quiet environment, and privacy. Office Evolution provides all of the services you need to project professionalism at a fraction of the cost of a traditional office. Pay for meeting rooms and office space on an as-needed basis rather than committing long-term. You can still work out of a coffee shop sometimes but these options give you a professional edge increasing clients’ confident in you. Think how different your next presentation will be in a meeting room with your presentation on a screen and notes on a whiteboard compared to huddling around your laptop at a coffee shop. Add on virtual office services like telephone answering with a virtual receptionist and professional address on Google Maps and clients won’t realize that you spend much of your time working at the kitchen table. 

Focus

In a coffee shop, there is constant hustle and bustle, which can make it difficult to focus. In a home office space there is even more distraction in the forms of roommates, family, television, laundry, cleaning, cooking, and anything else you can find to procrastinate. On-demand and coworking office spaces allow you to create a designated space for work. You’ll share the space with independent professionals or small start-up employees so everyone will be working. It’s easier to focus when those around you are doing the same.

Networking

A coffee shop may provide the social interaction you’re looking for, but it’s unlikely to help you build meaningful relationships with other like-minded independent professionals. If someone is paying for a space, they clearly take their work seriously. It’s said that you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, so exposing yourself to hard-working, ambitious people can only improve your chances of success. Maybe one of these people will become a client or have an amazing opportunity that you’re qualified for. This type of networking rarely, if ever, occurs in a coffee shop.

It’s time to take your independent business to the next level. It’s a great idea to consider coworking office space and services to take your business to the next level. By using these services you’ll have everything a traditional office space would without the logistics involved. You’ll also avoid the short-comings of working in a coffee shop because you’ll appear more professional, be better able to focus, and have access to a great social network that can contribute to your professional growth.
