Coworking & Community Spotlight: WeTeachMe

Following on from the launch of our Community Spotlight with co-working space for female-led businesses, One Roof, we thought we'd shift our attention to take a look at WeTeachMe, "the go-to place for people to discover and book the best and most popular classes in Australia, as well as booking system that helps teachers and schools build and grow successful businesses."

WeTeachMe is well-established across Australia, with courses running in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast and Adelaide. They are soon launching in New Zealand, and it's exciting for us to see a platform we use ourselves and trust expand.

Being ‘people’ people, we often gravitate to businesses that have epic founders and teams. Demi, Kym, Wayne, Cheng and the entire team are solid and really know how to go the extra mile to help more  people learn something new, exciting or simply just upskill for work.

How Connect Labs uses WeTeachMe, and why other
businesses should do the same

We have been a verified member since 2017, offering free and paid inbound sales and marketing workshops. Our listings help us contribute to Melbourne's growing startup community by teaching Founders about CRMs, particularly how to use and maximise on the HubSpot platform.

Over time, we've met some existing and new customers through some of our events, and got constructive feedback such as the need for more similar workshops to encourage startup founders to stay accountable with the lessons they've learnt.

Late last year, we reviewed the event feedback - some of which was submitted on WeTeachMe, and that eventuated in us creating a full 12-week program rather than our previous quarterly event listings.

Why we're excited about listing these workshops here is because we get to meet a diverse range of people, from solo-preneurs to people who are working on scaling their business. Working with these small groups over time, you see them and their businesses grow, and you become part of something bigger than yourself.
