Pics of your Work Areas!

Interesting. I like the photo idea, but the grey doesn't seem to fit to me. I think your old blue mixed in somewhere would be an awesome combo with the green.

Oh man lol. We just got away from having two primary logo colors in addition to black and white. I like our green/black combo better but the pic I posted didn't do my vision justice at all. I need to take a much better photo and then properly apply the grey so it doesn't look like it was just painted over in MS Paint lol. The other half of the shop is missing in that photo which has the green tech bar and a grey wall behind it. It would tie it in the the proposed grey wall. Here is a pic of the other grey wall behind the tech bar.

Is the top of the grey on the tech bar side the same height as the doorway wall on the other side? You could paint that wall grey to make it fit together, but still not sure about the back wall.
One thing I have been wondering is what do you use the tech bar for? Meetings? Lunch?

I'm gonna take some better pics tomorrow so I can properly mock it up before spending all that money on paint.

As far as the tech bar... we do use it to eat on sometimes lol, but mainly for our 20 for $20 tutorial / training sessions. The 20 minutes for $20 thing we have going on.

I like that concept, how is it working for you?

It works out pretty good actually. It's great for those customers who ask a lot of questions and go a little past that 'grey area' when they take up too much of your time. When this happens our techs and receptionist are pretty good at telling them something like: " you know what, why don't we do a quick 20 for 20 session where you can ask all of your questions and write down the answers". It's basically one on one with a tech so they get undivided attention. We do small group training too but that's in another area.

This program has caught a lot of the missed opportunities that were just a little bit too small for a $39 quick fix but a tiny bit beyond the 'free questions' concept also. When they start saying things like... so how do I send an email to more than one person etc. You hate to answer them and then ring them up for a bench fee. So we get by this by directing them right into the 20 for 20 program. Some people even like doing a full hour, which is $60 bucks so basically in the bench fee category anyway. It's much easier to sell this way instead of saying something like... well I could explain it to you, but i'd have to charge you something lol.

Our customers seem to really like it. And we usually have some coffee set up there for them and maybe a box of cookies or something.

The counter was there when we moved in and it was mounted to the floor. So it was either find a use for it or go through the pain of removing it and fixing the floor. So we found a use for it :).
 
@ComputerPro - I do like it with the grey. Just curious how it would look if you took that black strip on the top of the office wall and carried it around the room. Then painted grey either above or below the black line.
