Coworking Amenities That Matter

1.      Technology

One of the top advantages of coworking centers is access to the latest office tech. Business-grade internet supports media-rich workflows, and access to state-of-the-art connected office machines means you won’t have to worry about maintaining or upgrading printers, scanners, or audio/visual software. Everything is plug-and-play, and there’s always an office pro on hand to assist when needed.

2.      Ergonomics

Working long hours can be taxing on your body. Coworking centers are equipped with ergonomically designed chairs, desks, and workstations to ensure your comfort while you work. Sentient Workspace offers a range of seating options so you can work the way you want and even change it up if you are inspired to do so.

3.      Professional Support

Everyone needs a little help sometimes. Professional admin support is just an ask away, ensuring you finish your work in record time. From binding reports for your meeting to fielding phone calls, greeting your guests at reception, confirming meeting attendees, and arranging catering, the Sentient team is always ready to step in when needed.

4.      Healthful Environment

Nothing clears your head like a good mid-day workout. With a fitness center on the premises, you won’t have to leave the building to do it. Do some cardio on your lunch break or blast a couple of circuits when you need to get your blood going—and then get right back to work without missing a beat!

5.      Meeting Rooms

Meetings are essential to doing business, but if you’re working from home, it might be a little inconvenient to have clients come to you. A coworking membership gives you access to meeting rooms on demand, ensuring you have a professional, well-appointed space to host important clients, give presentations, conduct interviews, or host webinars. The possibilities are endless, and our staff is always on hand to help.

The Importance of Meeting with Your Clients Face to Face

In today’s world, with technology changing at a rapid pace, businesses can get countless things done online through email, instant messaging, or virtually. However, the importance of face-to-face interactions cannot be overstated. In-person meetings provide the human factor that is missing in extended virtual communications.

When meeting in person, you have the added benefits of being able to read body language and facial expressions and build a sense of trust and rapport that cannot be achieved virtually.

Moreover, strong relationships with your customers, suppliers, investors, or team members are the foundation of any successful business. Having a comfortable and accessible space where you can meet for presentations, discussions, or negotiations will enhance your professional image and may help you accomplish more in the long run.

In today’s post, we will share why meeting rooms are essential for your business and what you can gain from them.

The Many Benefits of Meeting in Person

Building Relationships

One of the key benefits of meeting rooms is that they enable you to build stronger personal relationships with your clients, team members, stakeholders, or investors. In a more relaxed and comfortable environment, you can approach these people in a friendly and approachable manner and foster open communication and trust. When it comes time to negotiate or close a deal, they will better understand your brand and be more likely to buy into your services.

Privacy

When conducting meetings in public settings or in your private office, you risk sensitive information being overheard. This practice is not ideal and could be bad for business. Meeting rooms provide much-needed privacy for discussing sensitive matters in a secure environment. Your sensitivity to this matter will help build trust with your team and clients.

Professionalism

Nothing communicates professionalism and success more than an organized and professional meeting in an elegant, well-appointed conference room. Having a dedicated space shows you care about your team, clients, and investors and want them to feel comfortable and cared for.

Collaboration and Productivity

Many business meetings tend to be dragged down by distractions like phone calls, emails, and unplanned interruptions. A dedicated meeting room prevents distractions and allows you and your team to be more productive. When you can focus on the task at hand and improve communication, productivity, and collaboration improve, leading to innovation and progress.

Convenience and Support

Booking a meeting room within your coworking space is super convenient. All necessities are right there, saving you travel time, money, and hassles. Staff are on hand to keep you well-stocked with refreshments, and all the technology and equipment you require are ready to rock your presentation. On-site support is always available if you need further assistance, like greeting guests, answering calls, or arranging lunch.
