About this event
- Event lasts 7 hours 30 minutes
Welcome to Cowork Crew!
Cowork Crew takes the best bits of coworking and networking and jumbles it together in a once-a-month 1 day event.
It’s all about that magic that happens when you bring freelancers and micro business owners together.
The aim is for us to all do better together because we have each other.
Learn some stuff, make friends with others who get what it’s like to wear-all-the-hats, solve our shared challenges and beat the loneliness that can come with self-employed life.
How to sell without selling your soul
Speaker: Tom Garfield, Co-Founder of Brand New Notebook
Making sales is absolutely vital for our business. And when you’re a business of one - the salesperson title falls to you whether you like it or not.
Before self-employment, Tom was a new business account manager at digital agencies for nearly 10 years, selling big project work every single day.
Tom will share his experience and thoughts on:
How selling B2B & creative services is completely different to other types of selling, and therefore why most sales advice is wrong.
How to ditch the ick around sales and think differently about your role as a sales person.
How to make more sales, sell bigger projects and keep your soul at the same time.

Frequently asked questions
Cowork Crew takes the best bits of coworking and networking and jumbles it together in a once-a-month 1 day event. You can expect friendly faces, time to work & time to meet new people, an awesome speaker or group session on a shared challenge and cake!
We’re here for the self-employed, whatever title you give yourself! If you run your own thing, with or without partner(s), you’ll fit right in. The idea is to get us out of the home office/coffee shop/kitchen table and into a room full of lovely folk who get what it's like to wear all-the-hats.
Of course! We're a super-welcoming bunch! The 'why' behind Cowork Crew is to help the self-employed get out of the home office/coffee shop/kitchen table and do better because we have each other. We get a lovely mix of employed folks coming along too though! And you are very welcome to join us :)
We get it, we work for ourselves for many reasons, including schedule flexibility. Come for as much of the day as makes sense for you.
You can bring lunch with you, or take the day-out excuse to nip to one of the local lunch spots. Make sure you leave some room, as we’ll have cake to pick us all up during that mid-afternoon slump!
The Quad has stunning work spaces, and we get to call this beautiful building our home for the day. There’s lots of desk space (with plenty of plug points), a fully stocked kitchen and private nooks to sneak off to in case you need to focus on something for a moment.
The benefits of spending a day coworking together go well beyond getting work done. Feel free to chat to anyone who has the vibe they’re up for it. Or hang out in the kitchen space to chat more in-depth if you'd like to.
I'm afraid we're unable to accept dogs at the event :(
Send us an email at hey@coworkcrew.com and we’ll get right back to you.
