How to Automate Lead Capture:

• Use Funnels: Build a landing page or a sales funnel with opt-in forms, lead magnets, or webinar registration.

Pro Tip: The process of assigning lead tags according to source or behavior allows you to deliver personalized experiences at the advanced stages of the sales funnel.

 

2. Lead Nurturing: Set Up Email & SMS Drip Campaigns

After capturing leads it becomes vital to maintain their active interest. GoHighLevel enables you to establish automatic drip sequences that utilize both email and SMS to maintain lead engagement until they become conversion ready.

How to Nurture Leads Automatically:

The workflow builder enables you to establish triggers for messages that operate based on time delays as well as behaviors (like link clicks) or tags.

• Send Personalized Messages: Use dynamic fields (like {first_name}) to personalize communication.
• Multi-Channel Sequences: The system allows you to unify email and SMS and voicemail drops and Facebook Messenger into a unified nurturing sequence.
• The main objective of this approach is to convert inactive leads into actively engaged prospects through automated procedures.

 

3. Appointment Booking: Automate Your Sales Calls

Through its calendar integration GoHighLevel enables lead self-appointment booking which reduces the need for email exchanges.

Booking Automation Includes:

• Calendar Integration: Sync with Google Calendar or Outlook.
• Smart Booking Links: The system allows leads to select their preferred appointment time slots.
• Automated Reminders: Your system should deliver SMS and email notifications to decrease the number of no-shows.
• Follow-Up Triggers: The system triggers automatic contact attempts with unbooked leads.

Workflow Example: Lead fills out a form → gets an automated email with booking link → books call → receives reminders → added to post-call follow-up sequence.

 

4. Sales Pipeline: Visualize and Automate Movement Through Stages

The Pipeline CRM feature of GoHighLevel helps you monitor each lead’s position in the sales funnel. Each stage of your pipeline can receive automation functions.

• The system allows your team to receive follow-up assignments for each pipeline stage.
• Conditional Workflows: Send different messages based on pipeline stage or contact behavior.

A lead booking discovery calls will trigger an automatic movement from “New Lead” to “Discovery Call Scheduled” stage.

 

5. Follow-Ups: Reactivate Cold Leads Automatically

Effective Follow-Up Strategies:

• Re-engagement Emails: Send sequences to leads who haven’t responded in X days.
• Special Offers: Use urgency-based campaigns (like “last chance” offers).
• Survey Follow-Ups: Ask leads why they didn’t convert and retarget accordingly.

Automation Hack: Use tags and conditional logic to only send offers to qualified but inactive leads.

 

6. Conversion & Post-Sale: Onboarding and Upselling

The GoHighLevel platform assists businesses in handling customer onboarding and upselling processes.

Post-Sale Automation Options:

• Onboarding Emails: Automatically send login info, welcome guides, and how-to videos.

• Upsell Campaigns: Based on the initial purchase, upsell complementary services.
