The Book Direct Virtual Summit - Daily Debrief

This evening, apologies for last night. The tech was not on my side, so I, I basically panicked and didn't know what to say. But hopefully now we can be live. We can be live in the group. We can be live in the Zoom. I can see lovely people in there with me. Say hi when you do see me. Let's kick this off first and foremost. Let me know if you can see this with a hashtag book direct. Okay, so this is fun. I can see everybody here in the Zoom Room. Hello, Zoom Room. If you're in behind the scenes in the Zoom Room, do say hi. Let me just share my screen to give you to see what I'm seeing. As you can see, this should be streaming live right now in the Facebook group, right? We can all see this. Hopefully you can see this in the Zoom Room. This is what should be happening. That should be going, yeah, I'm live. But as you can see in the group, it's not there. So for everybody that is in the Zoom Room group, I've shared it from my Facebook feed into here. I know people can see it. I can see people that can see it, which is all good. But if you want to join in the fun, everybody in the Zoom Room, say hi in the chat. I want to make sure that I can see what you're saying and can you see my screen in the Zoom Room? That's the most important thing. Can you see my screen, what I'm seeing? Can you see what I see? Hello from Chicago Land, David. So let me stop sharing this screen for a wee minute. Man, that, that is going to frustrate me. I'm going to try and figure out a figure out, figure out, figure out. Or we may even crazier. Just not stream into the group and just do, just do good old zooms for the rest of the week. Zoom is stress free. Zoom is good. I like zoom. Zoom is easy. I can stream into the zoom. Okay, everybody that is jumping in into the zoom, please do say hi. Let me know that. Hashtag book Direct. Pauline, thank you very much. And everybody that is jumping in on the Zoom Room, we get a lot of people coming in. So this is Tuesday, Tuesday the, the third. Tuesday the third of December. And it has been an absolute pleasure to see and see so many of the very, very cool speakers to today. The way that we've done it is a little bit different from. From usual the way that we wanted to do it. The way that I wanted to do it is instead of doing one big stream in the group, what I wanted to do is I wanted to break down the videos to be daily bite size. So what do I mean by that? As you can see, if you come into the group now, you'll obviously see this video here, which is, which is what we're doing. But as you can see, every single video has its own standalone. Okay, so Patrick's session was an hour ago. A um, Patrick, if you don't know who Patrick is, he has been a good buddy of mine for a few years now. Met him over in Nashville at one of the STI wealth events and he's really carved out his niche on how to buy companies which is a really good. That session it'll be fantastic for a lot of people. But as you can see you can go into the individual videos and the individual training sessions and you can watch and you can inter interact. So we've had Tanya, Eric Mason doing a session about regulations which is I think one of the most important videos you're going to watch for the whole of this week. Jake jumping in, doing a fantastic session on revenue management. We've got the legend himself, Harrow who's back by popular demand. We've also had Mr. Andrew Zigi talking about automation again, a very talented young gentleman. I've had the pleasure of knowing him for a few years now and like I say, hit the system and the company that he has created is fantastic. We've also got Amanda and this session, I can see from the comments, you know a lot of people are engaging in this one. From first book into 140k which is about $160,000 in profit. And we kicked off with the fantastic Kate. Kate stitched them gills who is all the way very British but lives all the way in New Zealand. So again thank you very much Kate for doing and dropping in on the early morning session. So instead of just having a three hour live stream where we did video back to back to back to back to back, what I wanted to do is I wanted to break them up into little individual videos. And this is not just me doing this, this has been requested from you from people who have been involved in past summits and you know there's pros and cons to both. Right. But I feel like from an educational point of view from watching but re watching the videos and from fully getting out what you want from this week, I feel like this is the best way to do it. Of course I would love your feedback on the zoom drop in your feedback. Let me know which video that you watched, let me know which one resonated Most to you. And also the good news is, is that this was just day one. Tomorrow we have got jam packed with even more sessions and that's before we even get on to talking about Thursday. So we've got two more days of this. Right, let me just quickly click on this link here. Tomorrow we start very early, 8 o', clock, where we're going to be doing Alan, where we've got hosting, stay pricing, we've got Rebecca, Kale, Jay Kim, Rose, and then this time tomorrow we are obviously going to be back and we are going to be having a very special Q and A with some of my biz besties, some of my vendor friends. We've got an AI automation, we've got listing sites, we've got pricing, we've got resier jumping in, you know, which is going to be. Which is going to be epic. All right? Now, last night we had a special prize. The, the special prize was to win a lovely little coaching call with Tanya Rooney. Fiona, you won that, so congratulations. So I thought it would be only fair and only cool if we go ahead and do another round of Spin the Wheel. So everybody, whether you're watching online, whether wherever you are watching online, wherever this is streaming out, or if you are watching in the Zoom Room, it is time to do Spin the Wheel. So we Spin the Wheel is super simple, you should know it by now. I'm going to get up the lucky Spin the Wheel and what I'm going to do is I'm going to share my screen in a second and I'm going to spin that wheel and you have got to drop in your looking number between one and intense. So if I try and do this and if I try and hit this button and if I change it from this screen to this screen, Spin the Wheel comes up. Brilliant. So everybody now, whether you are watching live, whether you watching in the Zoom Room, not on the replay, this is only for live people. We've got people tuning in from all over. I literally can't keep count. The zoom and the lives do throw me, but we've got people tuning in from all over. Hello, LinkedIn, hello, YouTube, hello, Instagram, hello, Facebook, hello, Twitter, otherwise known as X. We've got people tuning in from all over. There's a lot of you tonight. Drop in your lucky number between 1 and 10. Now, just like what Fiona did yesterday, make sure you go for a number that nobody else is saying because there was only one number one and that was Fiona. So she won tonight's prize. I haven't actually checked what, what the today's prize is going to be, but it's going to be a good one. Let me have a quick super look. Virtual summit prizes. You can't see the screen, can, you know, definitely can't see the screen. Okay, so today's prize then is going to be a one hour revenue management one on one with the fantastic Jake Cohen. So for those of you that are a little stuck on your pricing, for those of you who are like, what are, you know, what are my bookings looking like? Can I get a little bit of help? Can I, can I tease out an extra 20% of this revenue then? Revenue management is one of the hardest things to, to crack and to have access for one hour with a true expert. This is going to be a popular one. For those of you that are in the waiting room of the zoom room, I will get to you. I apologize. There's a lot of you trying to get in. So dropping those numbers between 1 and 10. Now, the way that it works, just like last night, if your number hits it, and that doesn't mean that you're an instant winner. What that means is that you have to send me a message over on the instagram @Boostly UK. B O O S T L Y U K. And just say, hey, Mark, I was Tuesday's lucky number winner. Whatever the number will be, I'll take all of your numbers, whether it's one, whether it's 10, 20, 30, I'll put them all into a hat. I'll either draw it tonight before I go to bed, more likely it'll be tomorrow morning. And you will be the lucky winner of that. So thank you, Jake, for donating that. Okay, so you've got 10 more seconds and then we're going to spin this wheel. Let's see if my sound effects work. Let me know. Do this sound effects work? Just give me. Okay, great. Apologies for everybody who had to hear those, DJ Hans. All right, Mo Graham's gone for 10, Chris has gone for free. They're still pouring in. Liz has gone for six, Mo is on seven, Rebecca's on four, Richard's on two. We've got every single number you could possibly account for, so there's going to be a winner. Kate jumping in with a five. Love it. All right, here we go. I'm gonna spin the wheel. Three, two, one. All right, there we go. The lucky number was number three. If you have hit that number three, congratulations, Send me a message on Instagram. Don't cheat. If you didn't say free and you Send me a message. I do check everybody. I do check the comments. I will check the. Or the transcription back, or when I say I, my trusty AI will do that for me and will let me know. So if you were looking number three, send me a message on the old Instagram, slide in the DMS and just say, hey, Mark, tonight I was looking number three. Tomorrow morning over Brekkie, I'll get the boys and Rosie to pick a name out the hat and I'll get in contact with you. I'll introduce you to Jake. You booking that call, fantastic. What a great way to end year 2024. All right, let me come away from sharing this screen and let's come back into somewhere, wherever somewhere is. I'm still annoyed at Facebook Live. I'll put a plan together for the rest of the week, even if I'm not streaming live into the group, which is annoying because that's where we put everybody in. I'll figure out a plan for the rest of the week because obviously it's being very temperamental. The Zoom is a lovely fallback because if, if it wasn't for Zoom, you'd all be like, well, where am I going? I don't know where I'm going. Now, if you're watching this in the zoom, maybe, and I'm showing you this group, or maybe you're watching this on LinkedIn or wherever, and you're thinking, I don't see this group. Well, go on to Facebook, request to join and we'll let you in. We had people today and this, this is bananas to me. So again, Joseph, I'm not calling you out, but I got this group comment and I got a notification and it was, I put the schedule up for today and as you can see here, poor old Joseph saw this, saw this post, got tagged. I was like, how do I join? And I was like, you're in it. And he's like, well, how do I say the videos? But I'm like, no, you're in it. So what you got to make sure is that however you are consuming this, whether it's on a phone, tablet or desktop, just make sure that you're in this group. If you see this post, if you see this tag, you user in said group and all the videos are going to be in here and they're going to stay in here for the rest of the week. Now, as I mentioned yesterday, yesterday was a. Was a bit tricky because obviously I was a bit flummoxed with the old tech malfunctions, but this is Going to be the last ever buch Direct Virtual Summit. We've been doing it for one, well over a couple of years now. Absolutely love them. This is going to be the last ever one. I will give you more news at the end of, of the week on Friday and what we're going to be doing moving forward, but this is going to be the last ever book Direct Virtual Summit, so please make sure that you do take advantage of it. Now there's a very good question. Is there a way for videos to be in a separate tab outside of where the general announcements are moving forward? I would love to, if, if I can figure out a better way, a better format, a better way of doing this than having to be in Facebook groups, I'll do so. But at the present moment in time, the only way to watch it is within the group. If you are a team Boostly legend and you will know who you are if you're part of Boostly, if you're a paying customer, Boostly, you can go to the Vault right now. So you go to the Boostly vault and you will know where that is and you'll be able to consume all those videos because we've already moved them over, plus every other video that we've ever done, you can go over and you can go and see that now. But for everybody else, that's not part of Boostly, it's all in this group and it'll be in this group for the rest of the week. So that will be, that will be that. If you want to find out more about Boostly, just go to booster.co.uk if you want to book a call and have a, have a, have a chat with us. Be my guest. Would love to welcome you as many as possible. Okay, so let me just have a little look at my notes of what I wanted to talk about tonight. Now there is one thing, very important thing. So on Friday, Friday the 6, we are partnering up with Maddie from Mount and the amazing team over there to do a special VIP session. Now this starts at 2pm UK time, which is 9.0am Eastern time, which is 8am Central time. We're going to put on a special VIP session. As you see, it is paid. There's a special code that I'm going to give you, but I'll knock it down to $20. But Maddie has assembled some of the best content creators and travel influencers that are out there at the moment. And the session is going to be all about how to work with content creators, how to drive sales, how to Build brands, social media strategies from some of the very best. This is a fantastic opportunity to network and chat with content creators. Casey is one of my favorite followers on social media and I feel like what they're going to do is they're going to put content creators on this side, hosts and management companies and business owners on this side and start to merge them together, which will be a fantastic session. Now, it's going to last for 90 minutes. This is on Friday, so there's going to be no education in the actual group on Friday, so you can learn from here and if you missed a session or whatever, like have to come back to the session, it will be recorded and sent to you afterwards. There's about 20 people that have signed up so far. A fantastic opportunity to be part of it. It's something that we're testing. We'll see how it goes down. Alive would be really, really, really good. Or it won't, but you'll have an opportunity to test it and just to see how it, how it does roll. So if you want to be part of that, go to boostly.co.uk vipsession if somebody could please put that in the comments for me, if someone could please put it in the boostly Zoom chat for me B O O S T L Y VIP session, that would be grand. Much, much appreciated. And the final thing to let you know is we have just got to 1, 800 people in the Facebook group, which is fantastic. Let's just put a little. The way that people are consuming the content is totally different or ever tuning in live. We with me right now or they're tapping into this with time zones and life and business and all that good stuff. Just tackling this at different times. But we've never had this amount of people in the group before, which is fantastic. So thank you very much all. But what I wanted to do. This is the thing that I'll leave you with today before I go and get some sleep. These tired eyes, and I'll tell you why these are even tighter eyes than normal, is that at 4 o' clock this morning, our house decided for its fire alarm to go off. There was no fire, there was no smoke. Our fire alarm decided to go off. We managed to get the kids back to sleep the first time, but 10 minutes later when it went off again, they were awake. I had three very scared boys and Rosie was like, what is going on? So we just got up and we've been awake since 4:30 and it's 9:00 clock and I need to get some sleep. So, but before we do leave yous, if you would like to win a thousand dollars worth of goodies, which includes a one hour strategy session on Instagram with our main guy, Paul Anderson, one hour creativity solution with Alan Salter of Signature Walls, three month subscription of host Buddy AI which is going to be part of the sessions tomorrow, and a free Resiere installation. Then all you need to do is talk about this summit. You've got to go on your social medias, your Instagrams, your Facebooks, your LinkedIn's, your Facebook groups and just post that you are attending the Book Dive virtual summit. I've even put the copy for you right here. That's all that you need to do. There's an image as well if you like. And I've put it in this Google Drive here. The deadline is Friday 5:00pm and then if you had a winner, you win all of that. It's super simple. Just go out there, spread the word now so I know that you've done it. All that I need for you to do, just like what Amber's done here is she has gone and put the link to her post in the comments. That is literally it. That's all you need to do. And at the moment, Harrow and Amber are the only people who have told me they've done it. Now there's loads of people who have done it, but they've not put the link in here. So you have to make sure that you put the link in here in this little comment section of the box. If you don't know where this post is, come into the featured posts in the group, have a wee scroll down and it is right here. Super simple. Now that is an amazing prize. Thank you very much to everybody who's donated. All you have to do is go and talk about this on the Internet. Super simple to do. I tried to talk about this last night, but for some reason last night as I was talking about this, the whole Internet just hated me and I was sharing a screen that I didn't know I was sharing. So I wanted to explain about it again now. So off you go. Go and spread the word. Let's see if we can get this up to 2000 people before the week is out. We've got people joining every single day and like I say, even if they join Thursday, they can still watch back all of the videos, which is, which is epic. Like with some being amazing sessions today, some amazing sessions coming tomorrow, the last thing I will let you know is that tomorrow at 8:30pm we are going to be back again here and I'm gonna have with me some of my biz besties who are going to be doing a live Q A, talking about what they do, what they bring to the industry. And you can find out a little bit more about AI messaging, about resier, how it's going to not only save you a ton of money, but but also as well as a fantastic security device for your properties. We're going to have smart pricing, we're going to have outsourcing and all this cool thing that's going to be here with you tomorrow. It's going to be a very live interactive session. We could go for 30 minutes. We could go for an hour and a half. So I really hope tonight there's no fire alarms going off in this house, so I get a good night's sleep. And Maria, I'm also glad the fire wasn't real. We've got some fantastic sessions coming up tomorrow. Please, please, please make sure that you tune in and go and get all hold of it and interact with it. All the speakers, all the experts are in the group. They're interacting with their sessions. Go and drop a comment on. Go and show your love and appreciation that would that they are doing this and giving up their time to do so. So without more being said, thank you very much for being here with me. It's been, it's been great to, to see you all and we'll be back tomorrow. As always, everybody that was in behind the scenes of the Zoom Room, if you want to put your cameras on very quickly, I'd love to get a little picture of you and just say good night to you all before you all disappear. But for everybody else, thank you very much. Take care. Good night.
