Okay, one and all. I have some industry news for you. Now, Smart B&B has been for many

0:08.3

years a fantastic messaging resource for host all over the world. It was known as just

0:15.8

being the Airbnb messaging system. But as you can see here, it has grown and expanded

0:22.2

than just Airbnb. It's now integrated with Booking.com and Durbow. And because of this,

0:28.3

they have now changed their names. So they used to be Smart B&B. They are now hospitable,

0:35.9

hospitable, hospitable. Tell me a while to get my vocab sorted on that one. But let me just

0:43.0

give you a super quick rundown. Like I say, it's a company that I've been aware of for

0:47.5

a long, long time. I've used it, clients have used it, recommended it, loved it. And

1:33.8

your day because it helps with lots of different ways. So number one, it helps with the inquiry

stage, which is really cool. So on an inquiry stage, say it's one o'clock in the morning,

1:46.1

somebody sends you a message. If you don't respond, it will kick in for you, which is great.

1:50.5

It also helps from the post booking pre-arrival stage with questions and answers, et cetera.

1:55.6

And what I love now is because it's no longer just on Airbnb, it's in book.com and

1:59.6

verbo, is it can help you on multi-platforms. This is one of the reasons why it gets confused

2:04.0

with a channel manager is because with the iCows and the APIs, it can link everything together.

2:10.5
