Introduce Yourself! - Excited to connect

Hi Nicole,

Great to meet you! I’m in North Carolina 

I’ve been using HB for about 4 years now. I was able to talk the event venue I managed into getting it to help us better streamline our process. I have always loved tech type things, so setting up our account from scratch was so fun! I also fell in love with systems and the overall client experience in the process that I’ve started my own business around it.  And will actually be debuting my business officially to the world in the next week or so- though I’ve already worked with a few clients. So I’ll be offering HB services to other business owners in the beginning, while branching out to other systems soon (think automations with email marketing and sales funnels).

It’s so neat to hear how HB has really changed your business, too!

Looking forward to continuing to connect with you and lots of other members inside this new community :)

That’s incredible! I love learning new techy things too (currently trying to play around in Notion and learn more how I could use it in biz + life). Let me know your IG handle so I can follow your business journey, so exciting and there is SUCH a need for those services in Honeybook and beyond!!! The set up is always intimidating!  

Hi, my name is Shannon, and I am the Co-Founder of Fourth Down Birth + Newborn Care. We are a new company, not even a year old. We have a team of Certified Birth and Postpartum Doulas, and we also offer education classes and sleep training. We serve families in the Greater Cleveland Ohio. I am so excited about joining this community. Being so new, I have a lot to learn as a business owner and look forward to learning from this community.

Hello! My name is Kiley, and I am a seasoned makeup artist in the DMV (DC/MD/VA) area, bringing over 18 years of expertise. I specialize in crafting natural and radiant makeup looks. You can find me via my website at www.makeupbykileysmith.com and on instagram at https://instagram.com/makeupbykileysmith

I offer personalized makeup lessons (with add-on shopping sessions), and applications for weddings, photoshoots, events, and more.

I've been using Honeybook for about two and a half years now, and it's been a great tool for my business. While there are some features I hope to see added in the future, I understand that growth takes time. Honeybook has helped me streamline my business processes, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it continues to evolve and improve.

So nice to meet you Shannon!! Love the type of work you are doing (I’ve heard sleep training does wonders for new moms!)

Hi Kiley! So nice to meet you, your makeup looks are stunning!! I feel like there is such a need for personal makeup lessons I’m shocked that this is the first time I’m hearing about this type of service. :) 

Oh, yeah, I’ve heard a lot of people like using Notion. I haven’t looked into it before myself, though. So definitely let me know what you think. And yes, setups for any kind of tech/platform can definitely be intimating, even if you consider yourself to be fairly techy. So I enjoy being able to help others get things going the right way from the start without all the stress and overwhelm!

And my social handles are all @graceandflowsystems. I have yet to post anything, but hoping to get some stuff up there soon with the official launch of my business. I’ll go ahead and give you a follow back, too :)

Hi beautifuls, I’m Jazmin Isabel. I’m a travel makeup artist fouced on Destination Weddings in the US Virgin Islands. I’m loving Honeybook as it has helped me stay organized and professional the moment I left my 9-5 in 2022 for the entrepenaur world. I love putting my clients through the HB process when I catch leads though other recommended sources and it has made things so easy. I’m looking forward to staying connected with all of you as well while we continue growing with HB and eachother. You can find me on Instagram/Tiktok @jazminisabel_mua for both.

@Alyssa Nance I own a smaller event venue and, like you, LOVED setting up the system for funneling clients through our booking process using HoneyBook. I’ve thought about offering services as well, but haven’t been able to find the time to dedicate just yet (thankfully, the venue is keeping me pretty busy)… but I am living vicariously through you and cheering you on from Northwest Arkansas!

Hey friends!

My name is Hallie Pister and I own Opal House Wedding Co., specializing in editorial wedding photography for clients on the east coast. I’m based out of NC but travel to DC, NYC, Florida, etc. for weddings.

I started my business in 2021 but really started taking it seriously last year in January and am now full time! Fun fact, this is my first ever 5-figure booking month and I’m really stoked about it!

I’m absolutely obsessed with running my business. I never thought I’d like the back end of all of this (just wanted to take easy shortcuts at first to get past the hard stuff so I could just take pictures 24/7 haha) but now I love love love all things marketing, networking, social media, etc.!

If you want to check out my work and connect more, I’m on Instagram @opalhouseweddingco! Shoot me a DM that you’re from the HB community and let’s be friends :) 

Hello, everyone. I think I’m the odd bird in this group so far… I’m the president of The Poetry Society of South Carolina, a 100-year old non-profit organization. This is my second year, and I’m still learning soooo much. There are many responsibilities to keep up, and unfortunately I am doing the majority of these tasks myself. That is probably my own fault because I am not asking for specific help enough from board members. In any case, I’m hoping HB is going to help me get organized and make things easier. We do a lot of meaningful and fun programs/events, and I have an initiative called Every Corner, Every County, which involves personally visiting every county in South Carolina and strengthening our relationship in the underserved areas. We’ve been known as a Charleston organization primarily, and I want to change that. We’ve already seen some success. I’ve visited about 27 counties so far, and we are changing our traditional program so that we meet in four areas of the state instead of only in Charleston. In addition to the traditional program, we have expanded our supplementary programs around the state. It’s a lot of work, but I do love it. I also teach college English, Humanities, and College Skills full time. Great to meet all of you. I need your support and encouragement … and tips. More than anything, we need more members, money, and volunteers. So those are my big tasks.

Hi

My name is Jen Vallens. I rent event space for special events and meetings in Westlake Village, CA.  I am trying to get our process up to date in a digital world. As of now, we have only accepted check payments for rentals and I have been using a manual calendar to schedule the event.  I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the choices Honeybook provides, but this process is challenging me to analyze current practices and see how best to be efficient.  I love the customization and I am sure that once I “decide” and commit to new process and procedures, Honeybook will undoubtedly save me time and energy and help us make money.  

My starting question is whether I should enter my events as clients or projects.  Most events are one offs but I also have renters that have recurring meetings.  Not sure best way to enter data.

Thanks for any advice.
