in the Crowdcast room, hello. For those of you that are tuning in on all of the live streams around the world, hello. This is, uh, like I said, an international crowd. Let us know where you're tuning in from. We've got people that have registered for this very special live stream all the way in Australia, very early in the morning over there, hello. Got people in the UK, late at night here, obviously. People in Europe, Dubai, very late in Dubai. Um, but in America it's pretty, pretty all right, so 4 o'clock Eastern. 3 PM Central. Um, so lovely to have you all here, and very, very exciting day because we have launched, as you can see from the title, Boostly Connect. And I wanted to do this live stream to mark this occasion. This is the first time in 10 years that I've launched something new that isn't, um, a website. So very exciting day, and thank you everybody that is taking time out of their busy day and lives to, to watch this. Now the cool news is is that at the end of this I'm going to give you the link where you can go and you can get started absolutely free. Um, and I'll walk you through what that all means and everything in a, in a little bit. But as we're getting going, Sherry, hi from Orlando. Tamara, hi from Florida. David over in Chicago. Fantastic stuff. I'm looking forward to coming over to the States this summer. Uh, we're coming over on the 18th of July, landing New York. World Cup, FIFA World Cup Final on the 19th. And then we're going to spend 6 weeks traveling around your amazing country of the United States of America, ticking off loads of states. Um, we've got a lot of things to show the kids, so excited. Chicago is somewhere where we are going to be going. Very excited, my first time to the big city. All right, so let's get in. We're going to be about 45 minutes, um, an hour max. Any questions that you do have, and if you're with me on the live stream on the Crowdcast, there's a box where you can put your questions in. Um, and I want to get through as many as possible. And what I would love for you all to start doing as well as I'm doing this is to, to get on and get, and get going with this. Now, before we get in and get going with this, let me just share my screen. Uh, thanks to the beauty of Claude, I've put some slides together literally on my phone as I was putting my 3-year-old to bed. Um, I thought it'd be easier with slides, and I'm going to give you a full demo and everything as well. Well, for those of you that have been getting my emails or maybe seeing my social media posts, let me just tell you exactly why we've got to today. So this product, I would say, is 18 months in the making, but really it's 10 years in the making. And the reason why I say that is 10 years ago, pretty much to the day, I had the idea for Boostly. 10 years ago, pretty much to this day, I went to a tourism meeting in the town where I grew up, where I was born. It's called Scarborough in the United Kingdom. If we've got anybody tuning in from Scarborough, please do say hi. I was at a, like, an association meetup, and there's about 100 to 200 people in the room, and everybody was talking about marketing. And, uh, at that point, I've been in the family business for about 5, 6 years. Um, previous to that, I've been traveling around America coaching soccer, came back, came into the family business, and, um, it was my job to get the business online. I didn't really know anything about marketing. I just sort of learned it along the way, but we did quite well. We were about 70% direct bookings at that point. And the reason why I started Boostly is because there were so many hosts that were complaining about Booking.com, about Expedia, and this little plucky upstart called Airbnb, and how they were, you know, taking all the bookings. And, you know, I, I had a little look around the internet to see if there's any help. And then I also asked the local tourism board if there was any money, any funds for, you know, to bring in experts. And they were like, no, there's no— there's no funding. So, you know, I just started it. I started a Facebook group and I just every single day showed up. And, um, showing up every single day just sort of evolved. And, you know, before I knew it, I was, um, helping people, coaching people one-on-one, doing like, you know, group coaching, etc. And then that turned into website design. Uh, and then that evolved into all of the things to where we are today. So really, it says 18 months, I think it's been 10 years in the making. And today we've launched this tool called Connect. I'm very excited to, to walk you through it and show you it. Um, I did a live demo for the Boostly members, our current Boostly members, at 2 PM today. It went down really well, and now I'm showing it to everybody else. And this is being recorded you can come back to this link at any time and you can rewatch this. And also as well, for those of you that are with me live, I'm going to give you the link where you can go ahead and get started before the end of this webinar as, as well. Now, why did we build this? So just to give you an idea of Boostly as a company, over the last 10 years we've worked with over 2,000 hosts. Right now we've got 1,347 live websites. We've got about 70 into production. We've been known, or become to known, as the go-to market leaders for website design. So where we design your website for you. And I think one of the reasons being is of this number here, 27. So anybody can put a website together, you know, your PMS. So whoever your PMS is— actually, here's a good little poll to do. For those of you who are watching in the comment section below, just put who your PMS is, your product management software. There's otherwise known as Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully, Ownarest, UpListing, Logify. Just put a comment below. So as you know, all of those PMSs, they give you a free website, okay? Everybody gets that for free. Now they are very restrictive, um, they're not very good. This is why people come and work with us. And we partner with these, with these PMSs because the website side of their business isn't their core market. For us it is, and they partner with us because we can, we can help. And the reason why they partner with us is because we've got a partnership and an agreement where we can get access to their API details and we sync it all together, which is great. So 1,000— what, over 1,300 websites? Um, we partner with the top 27 PMSs that is out there. And that's been great. Over the last 10 years, it's generated over a billion dollars in bookings. It's, it's, it's great. But because it's very labor-intensive, um, I've obviously got a team. I've got a team of over 20 people. We've got project managers, we've got developers, you know. Our costs go up and up and up. And so with that, over the last 10 years, um, our prices now sort of start at $4,000 $5,000 for a website where we do it for you. And over time, we've got too expensive for somebody who maybe just starting out with one or two properties. And in the back of my mind, I've always wanted to do something that can help everybody. And, you know, if you just look at the market, look at the data, 85% of all properties, or all users, sorry, on Airbnb have between 1 and 10 properties. And so my mission and my goal is simple. The one that started off 10 years ago is to help as many people grow their business, grow their bookings, without having to rely on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, or any of these big OTAs that are popping up. So I've been sort of stuck with this like rock and a hard place where, you know, the business is growing, which is great. We've got, you know, 20 people, uh, employed around the world, which is great. You know, they've all got families that need to be fed. Our costs go up and up and up and up, uh, every single month and, uh, and, and year. So our costs have had to go up. But at the same time, in the back of my mind, I'm like, well, I really want to make sure that everybody is covered, whether you want to use us for your website design services or not. And so we don't have to rely on a crappy PMS website or create a, a system or a solution that just doesn't work. And this is what brought me back to Connect. So 18 months ago, we had the idea. Me and the head designer, we were literally looking at the original designs, um, earlier this day. And it's crazy what it's come from being a piece of paper onto a Figma board that's now live that you can all use, which is, which is awesome. And the cool thing about what we've built, as you can see here, is that if you've got between 1 and 10 properties, this tool is free for life. Absolutely free, um, between 1 and 10 properties. Now here's the question that I have for everybody. We've got owner res, Hostaway, owner res, Logify, Hospitable, iGMS, Hostaway, or listing. How many properties do you have between 1 to 100 to 1,000. Just pop them in, doesn't matter what you've got, just let me know how much. And after 10 listings, obviously it scales up, etc. But I'll walk you through that in a wee minute of what exactly what it looks like. But what do you get for free? You will be for the first time able to— and I haven't looked at these slides, so there we go— we are going to be able to connect your PMS to your Connect dashboard, which I'll walk you through in a second, that will then go off to your WordPress website. Now, um, in the past, if you've got a PMS and if you've got a WordPress website, they've never been able to properly talk to each other, so your PMS data is stuck. So one of the reasons why people work with us is that they have a WordPress website, but The booking engine is crap. The, the sync never works. Uh, the data always gets stuck and broken and it just never goes anywhere. So your data's on your PMS, your listings, your pictures, your description, but it never goes anywhere off your PMS. Now, if you've got a PMS website, obviously that's not the case, but you are heavily restricted with what you can do with your free PMS website. Just a quick yes or no, and again, there's no right or wrong answer. Who here has a free PMS website? Just give me a quick yes or no. And again, there's only Joe. Joe's baller with 90, but everybody else apart from Sergio, everybody else is under 10. So that's great, you'll be able to get started for free. So the free PMS website, as you know, is very restrictive because you can't add all the tons of features. It's got no SEO benefits. It's literally like a glorified leaflet. Okay, and again, this is not me shaming the PMSs at all. I can say it's a, it's a free tool that they give you, and, and at the end of the day, they're not designed to do anything. All right, so this is the, the benefit. Now what normally happens— come back, where am I going? There we go. So what normally happens is if you then go and get a WordPress or a Wix or a Squarespace website, you, you go and create that, but then all of your listings are here, so you have to manually copy and manually paste them over into here, and Again, if something breaks or something goes wrong, then you're left to stuck and fix it, which again gets very, very frustrating. So, um, there's a big problem, and this is why if we look at the industry average, so all of the websites that are in the industry, the average conversion rate is 0.4%. So just to give you a bit of context what that means in simple terms, is that for every 1,000 people that visit your website, 4 convert, right? So, um, the Boostly website, the ones that we create, we, we convert 5 times, 5 times higher than average ratio because of what we have built. So this is why we've put together what we've put together. So the first things first, so what we'll be able to do, and I'm going to go and show you in a second, is with Connect, you'll be able to sync all of your data from your PMS to your WordPress website. Um, you'll be able to connect all of your data from your PMS to the GoHighLevel CRM. And if you haven't got a GoHighLevel CRM, we can help you get one for sure. The beauty of working with this is that it will take over your booking section. So your map, your listing, and the checkout page. And so that means that all you literally have to do is design a homepage, and I'll show you how easy it is to design a homepage in, in a second. So if you want to work with us, great, we can put a website together. If not, no worries, you can literally do this now. And the cool thing about this as well is that it's always live, it's always accurate, and everything that you can possibly need is there. You don't have to be a coder, you don't have to be an expert at this. We've done all the hard work for you. You literally just got to connect it. Um, okay, so this is how it works. We're going to go to connectyourpms.com. So I'm giving you the domain now, PMS. So connectyourpms.com. I'm going to go over there now and I'm going to share my little screen with you. Uh, which is here, which is here, which is here. Okay, so I'm in connectyourpms.com. If you would like to, you can go ahead and do this while you're watching me, or you can wait until afterwards. You're going to come on and you're going to click on Get Started Now. It's in the top, or it's here. If you want to go and read the information on the page, you are more than welcome to. Give me a quick, uh, yes or no. Have you gone and read this page before? Is this the first time you've seen this, or have you come and read this page before? Um, all right, fantastic. So, um, let me just show you. Let me go back a step. So this is the page that you will come to. It will show you here to connect a free account. So to connect a free account could not be simpler. We wanted to keep this as smooth as possible. So you can either go and create an account with your Google account, or you can actually do full name, email, password, password, go. Now, um, once you've done that, and again, it's super simple, I'm just going to log in with one of my test accounts. It will look like this. Now, what exactly are we looking for, or what are we exactly looking at? This image here on the home page actually explains it really well. So the problem was that in the past you had to connect up your PMS to a WordPress website, and there's loads of right ways and wrong ways to do it. But what a lot of people were doing, having to manually bring all that data over— what this does is that this dashboard here that you are looking at is going to connect into your PMS. All right, so this is going to be the central place. All you do is you come into Connections, you you click on PMS connections, and what you're going to do is you're going to choose your PMS of choice here. Now, when I asked the question which PMS you with, everybody about two— Uplisting and iGMS— is currently live. iGMS and Uplisting is one of our ones in the marketplace, and it's going to go up any day now. It's literally going to be days that we're going to add them in. So, uh, Joe, gonna have to hold fire for a few days. And John, hold fire. Nicola with Logify, that's the second one, that's the next one that's going up as well in the next patch. But Guesty, Hospitable, Hostaway, Hostfully, and Owner are now good to go. To connect, all that you do is you click on Connect. Again, you can see why we called it Connect now. Uh, you're going to give it a connection name. You go and get your integration token, you paste it in there, you hit Connect. And you're good to go. It's simple as that. If you're stuck or if you don't know, there's a setup guide here that you very simply click. And my top tip at the moment is that if you're double, double stuck, take a screenshot, go into your AI assistant. So this is my AI assistant, and you'll just type in, help me find my integration token on Guesty, and it will take you straight to where you want to go, which is where we love AI for that. Um, okay, so once it's connected, I'm going to just log out and go into my other Blue Peter. Here's what I did earlier, um, this one. So once it is connected and synced up, this is one of our dummy properties, dummy accounts, you'll— it will show you this. So first and foremost, you'll see where I'm going with this. It's brought in all of the properties, which is fantastic. So if I was to click Connections and listings. All of the listings are showing up here, which is great. It will also show you occupancy numbers. It will show you revenue numbers, average daily rate, RevPAR, action items, revenue trends. It will show you booking sources. It will show you everything that you need to know on your dashboard. Now, we have developed this with 8 beta testers over the last 2 to 3 months. Who have been phenomenal, and their feedback has helped shape this dashboard. I know that now that we're launching this and we're coming up to— I only launched this today and we're coming up to 1,000 people already using this, um, this tool, which is phenomenal. But I know that now we're going to have people in it every single day using it, there's going to be more things that you all want. And whether you're a free plan or on the paid plans that I will show you in a little bit, Um, you can leave your feedback, and your feedback will help mold this to the next versions of what we're doing. To leave feedback, all you do is you tap this little button here, and you come on into general feedback, feature request, bug report, etc. Type it in here, off it goes to the team, and we will build it. The rate that we can fix things now is insane, thanks to tools like Claude and all of the cool AI tools that are available now. Um, we're able to get fixes done pretty much instantly, which is insane. Um, so that's the dashboard. Again, you've got your properties coming into here, and also as well, you're able to bring in, um, all of your reservation numbers, all of your guest numbers, calendars, reviews, everything that's going to be coming into here. And we're going to be adding stuff all of the time. So now you may be thinking, right, Mark, I've connected Guesty or Hostfully, etc., to my dashboard. But now I want it to go to WordPress. How do we get it to, to WordPress? Well, all that you do, you come into Developer, you click Plugins, Plugins and Tools, uh, you download this plugin from here, and then what you will do is you will go over to your WordPress website, go into the backend of your WordPress website, you will upload the plugin to that WordPress website And then very simply, you will connect it via an API key. So who in here has got a WordPress website? Just a simple yes or no. Who's got a WordPress website currently? I think I've asked this question, but bear with me. It's 9 o'clock at night and I've been awake since 4 AM because we've been working on this all day to finish it up. So, uh, if you have got a WordPress website, you will know how simple it is just to download and upload. Now, if you've not got a WordPress website, here's the cool news. It is free to get going with WordPress. You can go to wordpress.com, you can go and get any theme that you like, okay, like Elementor or ThemeForest, etc. So, you know, Margarita and Sergio, you'll know what I'm talking about. You'll go into the backend, you'll upload the plugin, you'll paste in the API key, and once you paste in the API key, coming back to this example, This then talks from here to here to here in, in real time. Now the cool thing is, is that everything on your homepage will stay exactly the same. The Connect plugin will take over your map, so it's booked so smooth, and it will take over your listing. So basically all of your listing data, from your pictures to your description to your title to your house rules to everything, will go to your WordPress website. And the booking process will be as smooth as possible as well. So the whole thing is about making your WordPress website being from unbookable to bookable, from turning lookers into bookers, as smooth as possible, which is great. Now that's WordPress, which is cool. Now there's a lot of you that are using alternative tools, for example Squarespace and Wix. We're in the process right now of building a connection into there as well. So if you've got a Wix WordPress, a Wix website, or a Squarespace website, you're going to be able to do the same thing for there very soon. And we're also in the process of creating connections that go off to Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, and more. In fact, the Claude connection is ready now as well. So you can connect up your PMS to your Claude LLM. Just a quick Yes or no, give me a hashtag Claude. Who uses Claude in the chat? I know a lot of you do know it's very popular. If you do use it, you're going to be able to connect up your PMS to it, so you can ask it loads of amazing questions, find out loads of cool stuff, build tools on top of it, etc., all with Connect. And it doesn't just stop there, which is cool. You'll see that I'm saving one of the best things to last. So your Connect dashboard, which is here not only can it connect into your PMS, but it can also go off to the, to a, to a CRM called GoHighLevel. Now, GoHighLevel, uh, does anybody use GoHighLevel? Just put GHL in the chat if you use GHL or GoHighLevel. So GoHighLevel, unbelievably cool tool. Um, I'm just going to log into one of our team's account. Now, everybody who has seen a GoHighLevel account before, you'll know what we're looking at. This is a very standard one. There's loads of providers in our industry who use a CRM solution who basically white label GoHighLevel but just don't say it's GoHighLevel. So there's loads of them. I don't need to say who, but there's loads. GoHighLevel is one of the best CRMs that is out there in our industry, and it has got better and better. We are the only people in the industry who have built an app for this marketplace. And for those of you that use GoHighLevel, so Chris and John, you will know what I mean here. Well, definitely Chris. I don't know about John, but Chris, you will know that looking at this dashboard now, there's a couple of things that are on here that you don't see unless you've got a Bruce Lee GoHighLevel or a GoHighLevel that's got the Connect on. So we have connected it up via this link. And again, once it's on here, it's got an API key that goes into the dashboard. And once it's all connected, um, a couple of really cool things happen. So number one, all of the contacts will sync in from your PMS. So if anybody who's booked with you, all of their data will sync straight into this CRM. Data is absolutely key moving forward. And the, the people that can get the most data possible are going to absolutely smash it moving forwards. So all of your guest data, including emails, etc., will go into your CRM so you can do remarketing. And the cool thing, because it's coming from your PMS, it's carrying all the important data as well. Not just first name and last name, not just email, but, you know, when did they check in, when did they check out, which property did they stay in, you know, uh, which area did they stay in, when did they stay, etc., etc., etc. So when you Come on to GoHighLevel, and if you want to send an email marketing campaign, you can get really specific and personalized. Because specific and personalized and customized marketing is the future. Long gone will be the days where you just send one mass email broadcast out and hope that somebody sees it. Instead, what's going to happen is with the right data, you're going to be able to send out hyper-personalized email campaigns with the beauty of AI and the beauty of the data that you have. Now, that may be getting a little bit technical, but I'll walk you through how simple that is in a second. The other cool thing as well is that you'll see here it says connect listings. So with the app that we've built for GoHighLevel, all of your listings that sit in your PMS will go in real time into GoHighLevel, which is very cool. Now what can you do with that? Well, you can actually send personalized email campaigns. And if a property— if a person, sorry, has stayed at the Cowshed, for example, you'll be able to say, hey Sergio, thanks very much for staying with us at the Cowshed. Your dates that you stayed last year are coming up. Would you like to rebook? Just imagine getting that in your inbox and how personalized that would be. And Sergio, so you have a GoHighLevel in with Connect? Yes, 100%. So we as Boostly and Connect, we use GoHighLevel as a company, uh, so we white label it. But it doesn't matter if you use Boostly or not, you'll be able to, um, use this tool, use Connect, even if you don't use Boostly, because we basically install the app on your marketplace, which is super simple to do. Now the other cool thing as well about this is that let's just say you don't want a WordPress website. Let's just say you'd like to have a website, but you don't want it to be WordPress. Well, let me click this button. GoHighLevel have just launched this, right? And this is a, a product, and we're one of the betas to get access to this. If you've been using AI recently, you will know this, this terminology called vibe coding is everywhere. Vibe Websites, right? Um, the cool thing about this is that you can type in a couple of words and you can get a website. Now, one of our guys has been testing this, and he put up this website in literally 3 minutes. Um, this website looks cool. It syncs straight into his GoHighLevel account. It syncs straight into his Boostly Connect account. It goes straight into his PMS. He put this in because He's got properties in Houston, he's got properties in Galveston, he's got properties spread around the United States, but he just wanted a website and a, a website for just his Houston properties. And so he literally typed in a couple of words and added a couple of images, and it syncs in with the Boostly Connect listings, which is really cool. And again, he's not a website developer, not website builder. But he wanted to put something together. He's also been putting together video guidebooks, a review page, etc., etc., etc. So that's really cool, and you all get to do that, by the way. Now, in the past, I would say that there's 3 things that stop you from hitting your goals, all right? So it's time, money, and effort. So I, you know, it's like, listen, Mark Simpson, I'm really busy. I haven't got the time to do all of this. I haven't got the time to put a website together. I haven't got the time to send email campaigns. Or it's, I haven't got the money. It's like, listen, Mark, I know I've got to do it, but I haven't got all these thousands of dollars to get going. Or it's, Mark Simpson, I just don't know what I'm doing. I haven't got a clue. For the first time ever, this is why it's so exciting to me. AI has leveled the game because it knocks out all of those 3 objections. The only thing that's going to stop you is your imagination. Now, I wanted to give everybody the tool that can help get you there. And From what I've showed you right there, all you have to be able to do is to type in a few words and connect a few things. That's literally it. Now give me a yes or no. Do you think you could put your own website together on GoHighLevel or WordPress with what I've just showed you just right there? Just give me a super quick yes or no. And if the answer is still, uh, no, then that's cool. We're gonna help train you and show you what to do. Now this is where it gets really cool. Do you remember when I said about sending the email campaign out? So, you know, like you'd be able to send out that email to everybody. So Sherry's like, I'm not sure I can do that. I don't think I can send an email out. Well, this is another new feature from GoHighLevel. And again, we've got beta access to it. You click on Ask AI. Now this box pops up. All I would literally do is I would come into here and go, Hi, um, I would like to put an email campaign together. I've got to make sure that it's only go to people that have stayed in, um, let's just say Houston. Okay, um, we've got availability in June, so this email is going to be sent out to anybody who would be interested to stay in us in June. They can't be currently a person who's booked with us, but we want to send this out. The properties that I really want to push them to is the Cowshed, and, and this one, um, you know, you can give them a little 5% discount if they reply back to this email. By simply typing that in here, you can text it or you can, you can voice note it in with WhisperFlow. You can do either, and it will go off and it will do that for you. So this is, um, an unbelievably powerful tool. So that's how it works. You connect, you send, you connect and send. Now, uh, Sven, fan— Fantastic question. So this is how the pricing works, and you can come and have a look at this at any time. So if you've got under 10 listings, so anything under 10 listings is 100% free, free for life. I want for you to get in, I want for you to use it. You get one PMS integration, and I'll talk to you about that in a second, and you get to connect up to 10 listings. Because like I said, 85% of the whole Airbnb universe, the users that are on there have got between 1 and 10 listings. That's for you. If you've got over 10 listings and you're going through that growth stage, then it's literally just $29 a month. So Joe sat with 90 listings, just $29 a month, and it's $100 up to 100 listings. Now, once you get baller mode and you go into pro mode, then this is where the pro account comes in. Up to 500 listings, one PMS integration, and the GoHighLevel that I just showed you. So the GoHighLevel-ness that I showed you in that one with the AI Studio and the Ask AI, that's just $97 a month. And the cool thing about all of this is there is zero setup fees. Absolutely zero setup fees. So there's no $4,000, $5,000 to get going. It's literally, that is the cost. There's no contracts. You can cancel anytime. And to make it even cooler, if you pay for the year upfront, you get 2 months free, which is awesome. Now you'll notice that every single one of these has said 1 PMS integration, 1 PMS integration, 1 PMS integration. You'll see that there's one at the end and that's called Scale. Can you all see that? Now the difference between Scale and all of these others is that it has 5 PMS integrations. And this to me is probably the one that I'm really excited for because this is how we properly make a dent into the OTA dominance that is currently happening. So let me tell you quickly what it is. And again, if you want to start having a little play around, get going for free, go for it while I'm talking. But as we were building this, I realized that there's an untapped resource that is out there. And there's a lot of people who come to us and they go, Mark I want to build the next Airbnb. I'm like, fantastic, just give me millions of dollars. And, um, it's ambitious, it's great, but there's no real way to do it. So once we've calmed down their expectations, I'm like, well, what do you actually mean? And they go, well, I'm based in Houston, um, I've got 5 buddies, I'm part of this mastermind group, I'm part of this coaching group, I'm part of this Facebook group, and, uh, I'm good at marketing, I'm good at emails, I'm good at putting a website together. Basically means they're good at AI. And they go, uh, I want to promote my buddy's properties on my website. I'm like, fantastic, we've never been able to do this before, but I've had so many people come to me asking to do it. As we were building this, we looked into the possibility of doing it where You've got your own host dashboard that's connected to your properties, but how can we connect this to other people's? And that's what we've done. So the scale plan is built for just that. Now it's totally optional, you don't have to do it, but I know there's a lot of people who want to do this. So I can— let's just say Chris has got 5 properties with Guesty, I've got 7 with Guesty, let's just say Joe's got his 90, right, with, um, Hospitable. Or whoever he's with. I'm sure he said Logify. And then Sherry's got 5 with Hostfully. And then, uh, Chris has got 10 with Hostaway. All that I need to do is that I need to get you guys to, um, it's called OAuth, but basically sync in and give us access to your PMS, and all of your properties will sync into my dashboard. So instead of my dashboard just saying 7, that instantly goes to 135. Right in here. And when I go on to my listings, instead of showing 7, it will show 135, which is phenomenal. I'll be able to see which ones are mine. I'll be able to see which ones are Joe's, which ones are Sherry's, which ones are Sven's, which ones are Chris's, and which ones are Sergio's. And I forgot to tell you as well that the GoHighLevel and the AI Studio, you can create as many websites as you want. With the Boostly Connect and the WordPress website, you can connect this, uh, API key up to as many websites as you want, which is great. So what you could do is, let's just say out of the 135 that we have, let's just say that we're all in Houston, which is great, but then Cherie comes to me and goes, right, I actually got 'Uh, 100 down in Galveston, can you help me market them as well?' And you go, 'Yeah, absolutely.' You can then go and go, 'Right, these listings go to that website, these listings go to that website,' and you can start to create all these little mini OTA website, these mini little listing sites. And I'll go to all of you and go, 'If I get you a booking which is tracked and tagged on this dashboard, then you just pay me 5%, 10%.' It's giving you the ability to make more money without having to get more properties in your portfolio. Now, depending where you are in the world, in the UK, Joe, you'll know this, there's a website called PassTheBookings. It's pass the bookings like this, right? There's loads of people I know that set up WhatsApp groups and they just share bookings around. The problem with that is that it's very disjointed. This will be a place that you can put in front of anybody and you'll be able to create a website for it. For example, in America, you've got this FIFA World Cup coming. With this and with this, you could go to anybody who's in that area. We've got HighLevel. You can create a soccer-themed AI website, right, that's linked up to all of your properties in literally minutes. And then you can go into Facebook groups and say, hey, um, I can help you get bookings, yada yada yada. And go and make yourself some true money without having the headache of taking on more properties, more staff, more units, more yada yada. But if you know how to get bookings, then this is the way to do it. Now, the reason why we charging this for it is because the more properties, the more PMS integrations, is the bigger our cost is going to be, because every time we have what is called an API call, we get charged for it. So it's an opportunity to help you make more money, but it's also an opportunity to get the direct booking sphere going absolutely bananas. I would love it to have like 100,000 direct booking websites all connected, doing all the cool things. So this is it. And it works further field than the host. I'm chatting to revenue managers who would like to do this for their clients. I'm chatting to other website designers who are scared of AI, who haven't got any of the backend capability that we've built. I'm chatting to loads of people. I'm even traveling, chatting to travel content creators who are going to work with their host to do this as well. So the, the, the, the thing is huge, right? And like, I was chatting to my team today and I said, truthfully, I can't believe we've built this. I can't believe little old Bruce Lee, me, farmer boy from Scarborough, we've built this. And it's a testament to the team and for all the work that we've done. And I'm so excited to see how it lands, and I'm so excited to see how you all get on with it. So any questions, please let me know. But before you type those questions in, what I've got to ask is this: from a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being rubbish, I don't know why I've taken time out of my day to watch this, to 10, oh my gosh, this is amazing, I can't wait to get started— where are you all sitting right now? From 1 rubbish to 10, amazing, epic. Where are you all at? Just drop a little number in. Sergio, thank you so much. Yes, this session will be recorded. Um, all you have to do is share this link with them and they can go and watch it. Uh, Todd, 10. Chris, 100. Thank you. Uh, that, that's amazing. And the feedback has been phenomenal. Um, I've shown lots of people over the, over the months that we've been building this, other vendors, other peers in the industry, and the feedback has all been great. So we've done the hard work. Now we just need to spread the word. Um, I have tried spreading the word in Facebook groups, but Facebook groups— Facebook groups don't like me. Uh, so I need your help, right? Um, this is a tool that I know is going to do a lot of good. We've built it to do a lot of good, and I just need for you to start sharing it, spreading the word, telling everybody about it. Um, grab the link. It's connectyourpms.com. It's an easy link to remember. And just go and post it on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram. Test it, try it, tell people about it. And the cool thing is as well is that you can go and get started right now. If you want to go, um, for the free one, go for the free one. If you've got over 10 properties, go for that one. If you want to go high-level coolness, again, we'll get you all set up. It's that— there's no cost, there's no contracts, no nothing. If you want to go for the scale, have a go on that. That's it. I was gonna say something else, but I'm tired. I'm tired. Do you have a referral program? No, but leave it with me. I guess if we do it like this, Sergio, if you can get 2 people to sign up to the paid one, I'll give you a, uh, a, uh, not a year, 3 months free of the Pro if you can get 2 people to sign up to the Pro and say they came from you. Um, do the guest contact get shared? No, if, if you're on the Scale one, no. Only the listings get shared, not the guest data. Obviously you get your guest data, but on the Scale one, no, just the, um, just the listings do. But obvious GDPR-ness and security-ness and data-ness. Fantastic question though. Um, right, let's ask a question. I'm intrigued. Is anybody logged in? Has anybody logged into their dashboard? I can't bring you up on stage, but I can ask questions. Has anybody managed to log in to the dashboard yet? Actually, I think I'm live as well. Let me see if anybody else is, uh, is on here. Uh, is there any chat? Okay, yeah, we've got people tuning in. Yes, I connected. Matan, fantastic, lovely. Okay, so what I would like for you all to do now is just go and connect up your PMS. Um, listen, this is the final thing. Once you've got going, if you get stuck if you've got any questions, all you need to do is tap this little button here. When you tap this button here, it sends a message to support. So whatever your question is, tap it and send a support in. We're going to answer it over the next couple of days. We're going to be adding in tutorial videos right here on the screen. I don't know if you can see that. We're gonna be adding tutorial videos showing you, but before I can add tutorial videos, I need to see where you're all getting stuck. So, um, please do use this button here. It sends a support message. This button in here, you can send general feedback. You can report a bug, feature request. You can even send praise if you like. I don't know, all that cool stuff. All right, y'all, I'm gonna let you go. Um, if you're in England, if you're anywhere near London, I'm going to be speaking at the Short Stay Summit, uh, on Wednesday. I'm gonna be speaking at Host Planet on Thursday. I'm speaking at Hostella on Friday. Busy week coming up in London, uh, and if you're anywhere near it, come and say hi, um, come and show me your phone with your Connect on there as well, which is great. Oh yeah, it's on the phones as well, not just the, the thingies. Uh, John, can you cross-market, say, long-term property listings? 110%. Yes, uh, the MTR strategy, the STR strategy, whatever strategy you do, we can 100% do this. And like I said, we've got so, so, so much more coming as well. This is literally version 1. Um, we're going to be working now straight away on obviously getting all of our 27 PMSs on there, and then we're going to have Wix, Squarespace. And the— this is the— I'm going to leave you with the, with the pièce de résistance. No. Good dimanche. I don't know. The cherry on the top is that obviously we are going to be getting all of these listings coming into, to, uh, to, to the, to the Boostly Connect. As soon as we get a decent amount of numbers, like 10,000 to 100,000 listings, I, as in Boostly, we're going to create the ultimate biggest direct booking website, uh, and it'll be free. Which will be so cool. And we'll be able to create one big one worldwide, we'll be able to create country ones, state ones, town ones, and we'll be able to do hundreds and thousands of these websites, all direct bookings. This is how we take on the OTAs, because at the end of the day, um, the end of the day, I do not want Airbnb to Amazon this industry. Amazon have absolutely ruined e-commerce. They've ruined the book marketing world. Uh, Airbnb are on the way to do it. The only way we can fight back is by doing this, and we all got to work together on this. I can't do it on all of these separate 1,345 websites that we've done. This is why we're connecting them all together, and we're going to be doing this. And, uh, I've got a strong feeling that with AI and all the tools that we've got available we can really make a mark. And whether it's Boosty pioneering that or whoever, I just want to give us a crack at it, and this is the tool that will do it. So Sergio, thank you for all of the, the love. Um, this is me trying to help, obviously, as well. Once you do get going, if you go, Mark, I want Boosty to do a website for me, we're not gonna say no. We're still going to keep doing our websites because they know that they work, but we wanted to give another option where people can join us and not have to spend a ton of money in the process of doing it. All right everybody, much love to you all. I gotta get some sleep, I've got to be up early in the morning to get a train to London town. So thank you so much for joining me this evening. Uh, yes, well, Streamline is 100% in the works. Streamline is a very hard company to get hold of because it's owned by the Inhabit Group, and the Inhabit Group for whatever reason don't like me. I don't know why. So I'm trying, I'm getting there. I'm, I'm, uh, I'm, I'm gonna hunt them down and, uh, make it happen. But we've got some good connections and some good friends that know each other. So with that being said, uh, yes, it's on the way. Um, I know Steve very well. I'm gonna be seeing him tomorrow night in London town. All right, everybody, have a great day, have a great morning, have a great afternoon. Um, really, really, really excited for this. Please go and play and post all of your stuff on social media. Tell everybody about it. I wish I could talk more, but I'm falling asleep when my eyes are closing. Take care, all. Bye-bye.
