How Jane Became Bookable - Boostly Review

Hello, I'm Jane Gardner and I am the owner of La Maison de Metre Loire Jeet in central France. Towards the end of 2017 I was looking at changing my website hosting as I wanted a site which was easy for me to manage and also one which would take direct bookings and eventually payments. I only have one sheet in the Loire Valley which sleeps eight. It's only open in the summer and I didn't want to spend a fortune. I came across Mark Simpson. I was a little skeptical at first but. But after about a week of watching what he was doing and seeing the results he was getting, it all started to make sense and click into place. I joined. I think I was one of his first sign ups to the Boostly Academy. Mark created my website, then handed it over to me after a few hiccups. I'm not technically minded at all and a lot of patience from Mark. We were up and running. I was a bit of a nostridge and didn't have a lot of confidence and I kept backing away and putting my head in the sand. That that is all now a thing of the past. I have learned so much, becoming more technically confident running competitions, taking direct bookings and dealing with my business myself and not allowing the OTAs to take charge. They don't stick their hand down the lose every Saturday. Yes, I am still listed on oneota but I use them as a shop window. I'm really pleased with my website. Mark and his team are excellent. No problem is too difficult, too small or too daft. Now guests can make a direct booking. They can contact me directly before paying the deposit to discuss their needs. It's possible to set up an early rapport with them, so important in this industry and they can pay me via my website. No more waiting eight weeks for the money to be in my bank account. Joining the Boostly Academy has meant I can stay in control of my business and not having to rely on OTAs. Your outlay will be rewarded. Go on, you know you want to. This ostrich has learned to fly by.
