Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and welcome for whether you are tuning in from around the world.

My name is Mark Simpson, and I give hosts just like you, the tools, the tactics, the training, and the confidence to go and get more

Diro bookings and there's a big, big pain point in this industry and there's a question that I get asked a lot mark, which PMS provider should I go with property management software or PMP?

Whatever you want to describe them as now

There are 1,400 different variations of PMS providers, it's crazy, it's been out, it's insane. I've done a blog post on boosted.co.uk forward slash PMS where we interviewed a hundred hosts, we find out who they use and the pros and the cons, which was cool, but people want more.

So I reached out to, hostfully, I reached out to hospitable, I reached out to uplifting and guesty and asked if they could come into a zoom room where we'd have up to a hundred hosts who were wanting to ask questions.

And they all said yes, we got them all in, it was really good, I recorded it, and I wanted to put it as a podcast and a YouTube video.

So the questions that people were asking, they were members of team Boosley, if you want to know more about team Boosley, send me a message and I'll show you how you can join, you can email me, mark at boosted.co.uk, just put subject team Boosley, want to join, or you can send me a message on Instagram, which is at Boosley, but anyway, this is not for that.

We had questions, we had people coming in, we had numbers, we really broke down the different versions of a PMS provider where you should be on your journey.

When should you be getting a PMS? So is it property number one or is it property number five and we really broke it down? And what I love about the mix of people that we got is that we've got people in here that are helping host at different stages of their journey.

And I'll leave you to decide on which one's going to be best for you, a really key takeaway that we learned from Vinnie uplifting was that you got to take advantage of the 14 day trials or the trials that are being provided.

At the end of the day, you could go off hearsay, you could go off what somebody else said, you can go off what your next neighbors doing, but for you, it's all about who you work with best.

So bear that in mind as we tune into this podcast, it's about an hour long. I will time stamp it so you can jump from backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards, etc.

But please make sure that you watch, listen, pay attention. And if you want to have any further questions, reach out to the property management software providers directly.

Okay, everybody, this is a really good one. So please pay attention and please make sure that you not only watch, but you take action. Take care.

Next thing you'll see is my face and Frank from host, they hide to Frank for me, please in the chat.

If the time occurs, we'll even let you unmute your microphone and you can, you can ask a question. So we've got Frank from host, so Frank, and if you can just double check, can you see the chat that's in the left hand side in the chat box.

Yes, really. All right. So you've got co hostability. The floor is yours for the next five to 10 minutes. Just walk everybody through number one. What is hostfully number two.

Why do you call it a PMP, you know, just all the things that basically can, you can just sort of get across with hostfully as soon as possible.

And then let me know when you're finished. And then what I'll do is I'll open the floor to questions. I'm going to be busy letting people in the room. So if you ask me a question, if I don't respond, it looks like I'm looking to my right. I'm not not paying attention. I'm just letting people in the room as we go.

Yeah, no worries, Mark. No worries at all. So yeah, I'm happy I can totally take it from here. Absolutely. So can everyone see my screen, make the most out of every stay pretty mountains.

Yeah, we're all good. Yeah. All right. Wonderful. So kind of just before we started just wanted to let you know a little bit more about hostfully. So what we do is we essentially strive to make them most out of every stay simply by helping vacation rental companies and property managers make more money, save time and just improve the overall traveler experience.
