Melissa’s knowledge and expertise in the coworking industry on every aspect of the business, from how to structure the offices, producing a feasibility report of the space, the different revenue streams available, through to her approach to sales and marketing is second to none. Without a doubt, working with Melissa has provided me with both piece of mind and the confidence that we will be launching a viable and exciting cowork

Melissa's energy and insight have helped our business grow
I am a current client of Melissa's. She has been a great help in giving us new methods for marketing our business which make sense for our area and have helped boost sales. She has also suggested new ways to analyze data so that we can increase our margins on current products, and has developed new approaches to marketing our current services so that we can reach new audiences. I specifically asked Melissa for her assistance in the marketing and sales area, but I am confident that her knowledge and experience would prove useful in all areas of any shared space business.
