Welcome to the Boothley podcast. If you're joining on either the podcast or we've been live on

Facebook as well, which is cool. This is the podcast that gives hosts the tools, the tactics,

the trainings, but most importantly, the confidence to go out there and get more direct bookings.

Today, we're shining the spotlight on another awesome service that you need to know about as a host.

And I'm not going to go too long on the intro because I've got two people here who I'm really

excited to introduce. Welcome along, Jeff in Lulian and Jen at Sexton. And they're both from host

GPO. This is an awesome service that can help you furnish your short-term rental. And that's

what we're talking about today. We're talking about how do you as a host furnish your short-term

rental for success? So let's dive in. So welcome along to yourself, Jeff and to yourself, Joe.

co-founder of host GPO. So we're a buying group for vacation rental companies. We get discounts on

furniture, linens, mattresses, amenities, and help you set up and furnish and restock your listings.

I've been in the vacation rental industry about nine years and I've set up over 250 vacation

rental homes. Amazing. Thank you. And Jen, for yourself. Yes. Hello. I'm Jen Saksden. I co-manage

the design program here at host GPO. I am also a host myself and I am incredibly passionate about

design and creating overall experiences for our guests. Amazing. We couldn't have two better people

to talk about how we can furnish our whole live-home for success or short-term rental for success. So

let's just start off by talking a little bit more about host GPO. Is it important for people to

really understand the service? First of all, where does it cover and what problem does it solve?
