So that was really fun.

And then the last but not least, Forest has an incredible feature called expert recommendations.

So say perhaps it's a no thank you, no big deal.

They might've just been feeling a bit overwhelmed with their new style or, you know, they didn't know if they wanted to bring home all the products or maybe they simply couldn't afford it that day.

100,000 welcomes to the Phorest FM podcast brought to you by Phorest Software.

I'm your resident host, Alex Villalobos Springer, and joining me today is Michelle Tanner, multi-salon owner, business coach, international speaker, and someone you'll get the chance to learn from at the Phorest Summit 2027.

Somehow it is that time of the year again, where here on the podcast we bring you a taste of the energy, topics, and conversations you can expect from the upcoming Phorest Summit event.

Now, as I'm sure you know if you run events, putting together a conference of this magnitude is a year-round affair.

And well, I guess you could say the countdown is officially on with just a smidge over 100 days to go before we all gather in Ireland again.

See, I was gonna say Dublin, but that is not the case in 2027.

If you've had the chance to listen to the recent Phorest FM episode tracing back the origin story of the Phorest Summit, follow Phorest on socials, or have been quietly browsing the summit website lately, then you already know this, but I try not to make assumptions.

That's incredible.

Oh, I can see from my Phorest, Vagaro, et cetera," whatever you use, "our revenue's also up.

That's so incredible."

Yeah.

It took me 30 minutes to build it.

The task was pertaining to going into my booking or into my, my system, my, my, my Phorest system where it has all of my staff rosters, my staff clock in stuff, staff clock out, retrieving four different documents, sitting down with a calculator, and because some of my team members work between locations, and I have two locations, manually calculating hours and then typing the hours into an Excel spreadsheet and then sending the Exce- Excel spreadsheet with an email to my accountant every Tuesday.

That has been a task that has been in the Urban calendar for the last, uh, 15 years.

That used to lie amongst other tasks, which I'm getting rid of, but that lay with my manager at the time.

You can automate that.

Maybe not fully automate it, but you can definitely get it to give you a rough draft.

Again, if this connector works well for Phorest, we might be able to actually get it to do the rosters for you.

Can you imagine? But yeah, like, that's the kind of magic stuff, um, you can do with AI.
