@Lee for the presentation of the prices, would it be possible to present two prices:
how real-estate prices are normally quoted, for comparison
what they will really pay
This may avoid sticker shock (“shock or dismay experienced by the potential buyers of a particular product on discovering its high or increased price:”)
Is anyone able to pick up the key from Miro on Thursday before 12h30, and come back to open up at 18h30? Alternatively, you could drop the key at Alberto’s (just up the road) and I’ll grab it on my way to open up as usual…
@alberto - would that work for you?
Also, can we use your beamer and screen on Thursday?
Exceptionally I won’t be there. I will only be there at 7:15.
We are already telling people with a lot of precision how much they will need to pay, so, with respect, this argument is not convincing me.
The challenge we are facing is that our big units are in the upper range of the price fork. This is mostly the result of that wall in Obelix (above the access for the firebrigade) that can’t be moved.
As a result we are unavoidably looking for people who can afford this. We have seen so many people hang around in our group for months, to then conclude that they don’t pass the confesseur, or that they are not willing to pay so much. What happen is that we lose a lot of precious time (believing that a unit will be taken) and also staying behind heart broken. Fortunately, as we can see already in our group, is that these people exist. We just need to find them.
The strategies that are on the table are currently threefold:
The slide deck has been simplified, bringing it back to its “dreamier” version. The reasoning would be that maybe the new slide deck was a bit too scary.
Team External will convene next week to see how we can reach people who are willing and able to pay for a unit in our cohousing.
I will draft a survey to be sent out to all the people who attended a presentation, asking which were the factors that made them decide to not join and whether they have any feedback. This way we don’t need to guess and we can adjust our strategy if it turns out it is necessary.
Hi Manoj, in case you would be there before 19h, would you be able to print the attendance list? If it’s not possible, no problem, then we will find another solution
Francois has the keys (exceptionally) from Miro, so he will put the maquette there tomorrow evening.
To return it: he says to leave it in Miro, but asks to put it aside on the desks/tables placed next to the windows facing the garden, to prevent it will bother somebody or that will somebody play with it…
Thank you to all the Reeflings who attended yesterday’s presentation I’ve just sent the survey to the 14 households that participated—fingers crossed! @manuelpueyo could you add the names of the persons who registered to our mailinglist? Thank you!
Hi @reeflings,
We have had 6 survey forms filled in after the last presentation, which represents almost half of the people who attended!
Buddies have been dispatched, and you may well be seeing some new faces at the next plenary meeting…
