Freelancer Benefits & the European Freelancers’ Week

We take pride in offering our spaces as a home to what I sometimes refer to as “the neglected freelancer”. Since lots of the, admittedly louder, coworking spaces focus their attention squarely on the newest hippest start-ups they can invest in, and other big players move more and more into a full-service offer for corporates with 100+ employees, oftentimes it’s the individual freelancers who get overlooked. Well, we’re here to do something about that. And thankfully we’re not alone: there are a number of resources freelancers can make use of and when those resources come together, like for the upcoming European Freelancers’ Week, that’s when beautiful things happen.

So how does tuesday coworking help freelancers?

Besides the fact that working from any coworking space, not just tuesday, means you don’t always need to keep your home heated during the day (#gascrisis #sharingeconomy), there are numerous advantages, not just financial, to joining coworking spaces. We don’t need to get into greater detail about them here, suffice to say coworking spaces are awesome in regards to productivity, environmental impact, social aspects, and perhaps most importantly, mental health.

And in a way, mental health is a thread that weaves its way through all of the programme points we’ve picked out for you below. Be it through experts providing peace of mind to help you make the right decisions for your future, through applying life hacks to free up your time, or through joining a network of freelancers who have your back, there are plenty of new events coming up this October with freelancers in mind. While some of these events are part of the European Freelancers’ Week (14-21 October 2022), others we have ongoing year-round at our spaces.

Below you’ll find our four (plus one) picks for great free opportunities made available to freelancers and (recurring) events facilitated by tuesday coworking, all happening this October!

Learn simple and amazing hacks on how to manage your time better and have your Google Calendar work for you, rather than the other way around.

This free 3-hour workshop facilitated by proceeds.cc in partnership with tuesday coworking aims to establish a sales foundation for your company or start-up in order to create a resilient and scalable sales process. Participants should have mastered or at least got to know the methods and tools to both take their first steps in professional sales and win their first customers.

What specific knowledge should participants go home with?

Participants should take away the following knowledge from the workshop:

  • Selection and setup of a suitable CRM system
  • Initial ideas on compensation models for sales employees
  • Sales relevant KPIs
  • Setting up mail and social selling campaigns for lead generation
  • Basics of telephone canvassing and customer acquisition

Demian Romelli, co-founder of proceeds.cc, a Berlin-based agency with a focus on sales & new customer acquisition for start-ups & corporates, has developed a workshop and he’d like to take it for a test drive. That’s why these first sessions in sales are free for all tuesday members. Neat, eh?

Before you sign up:
We’re limiting spaces to a maximum of seven participants for now, as that’s how many will comfortably fit in our Metal meeting room at Bundesallee (Note: you do not need to have our All-Access membership to take part in this session).
