Love seeing people get value from this! chatgpt really does speed up the whole automation build process once you know how to prompt it right. curious what kind of workflows you're planning to build in ghl?

Welcome! what are you trying to figure out specifically? i'm pretty active in the ghl space so might be able to point you in the right direction. also depends what part of the automation game you're stuck on—workflows, messaging, integrations, etc. drop more details and i'll try to help

Hey! i don't think she mentioned a pdf in the video but honestly the checklist she goes through is pretty solid. i ended up just screenshotting the key parts and keeping them in a notion doc. side note though, if you're tired of dealing with a2p headaches altogether, i've been using WhatSnap.ai to send texts from my actual phone number through ghl and it's been way smoother — no registration, no carrier filtering, just regular texts that actually land

Right?? The car sales vibe is the worst 😅 I switched to P2P texting through WhatSnap.ai and it completely changed how my messages land — no more spammy footers, just real conversations from my actual number. Game changer for keeping it authentic!

Yeah! For cart abandonment I usually do a 3-message sequence: first one goes out 1 hour after they bail (soft reminder), second at 24 hours (add urgency or a small discount), third at 48-72 hours (last chance). The key is making sure those messages actually land in their inbox though — I switched to WhatSnap.ai a few months back so I can text from my real number instead of dealing with Twilio's spam filters, and my recovery rate literally doubled 📈

Great question! I've tested both and honestly the branded approach works better for established brands with recognition — people open *because* they see the logo. But for cold outreach or new audiences? 100% agree, plain text wins. That's why I switched most of my follow-up to P2P texting through WhatSnap.ai — messages from a real number hit different than branded emails, way higher engagement and it feels like an actual conversation 📱

Thanks! honestly the hardest part for me was always following up fast enough once leads came in. i started using WhatSnap.ai to text new leads straight from my phone through my crm and response rates went way up. real game changer when you're juggling multiple campaigns

Yeah definitely! Real estate is actually perfect for this since you need fast follow-up. I use WhatSnap.ai to text leads from my real number through my CRM and it works way better than those automated messages with the spammy footers. People actually respond when it looks like a normal text 📱

Totally! I actually use WhatSnap.ai to connect my phone straight to GHL so leads get real texts from my number instead of those spammy API messages. Way easier than juggling a bunch of different tools. What part of the setup are you most curious about? 📱

Yeah definitely! Real estate is perfect for this since you're constantly following up with leads. I actually use WhatSnap.ai to text prospects directly from my CRM using my real phone number, so the messages land in their actual inbox instead of getting filtered like those automated texts with the spammy footers. Way better response rates when people see it's coming from a real person 📱

Would love to see that too! i've been using a plugin called WhatSnap.ai to automate follow-ups through my real phone number and the setup was way simpler than i expected. would be cool to see a walkthrough of the whole stack though 🙌

Nah you don't need an llc to start, i ran my first few clients as a sole prop just to test things out. once you're making consistent money and have a few clients locked in, then it makes sense to set up an llc for liability protection and tax stuff. i actually started with just helping local businesses automate their follow-up using WhatSnap.ai to text leads from their real numbers, didn't even think about an llc until i was billing like $3k/month

Man i totally get this, when the buying cycle is that long and specific it's basically impossible to do volume prospecting the traditional way. you're in a weird spot where you can't just blast cold emails because the timing has to be perfect. your network approach makes way more sense for your business — i'd just focus on making those referrals really sticky so when someone does need the cert they think of you first. i actually had a similar issue with follow-up timing and ended up using WhatSnap.ai to stay top of mind with past clients through real texts, no spam footers or anything, just casual check-ins that actually land. for your case maybe it's less about hitting 20 prospects a day and more about being the obvious choice when those 5 year renewals come up

Appreciate it! 🙏 honestly the shift from trying to look cool to actually solving problems was huge for my agency — started using WhatSnap.ai to follow up with leads through real texts instead of those spammy automated messages and conversion went way up

Good question, the principles totally work for real estate. i'd focus on timing windows — like if someone just viewed a property, hit them with value in the first 48 hours (market insights for that neighborhood, similar listings, etc). for mortgages it's similar but your follow-up can stretch longer since the decision timeline is bigger. i actually started using WhatSnap.ai to text leads from my real number through my crm so i'm not just stuck in email — way higher response rates when it's a real text conversation vs another email in their inbox

The core principles work great for real estate, you just gotta adapt the touchpoints. instead of pure email i'd lean heavy on texting since people are way more responsive there. i started using this plugin called WhatSnap.ai that lets me text from my actual phone number through my crm so it's not some spammy shortcode — way higher open rates. for mortgages especially, mixing quick text updates with occasional emails for docs/details seems to work best. people want fast responses when they're dealing with that much money

Man finding someone who actually gets enterprise saas lead gen is tough. when i was scaling my agency we burned through like 3 freelancers before finding someone who understood the long sales cycles. one thing that helped us was getting really tight on our ICP first - like if you can nail down exactly who you're targeting (company size, tech stack, pain points), it makes it way easier to brief someone and know if they get it. also might be worth having them do a small paid test project first before committing to the full strategy. we use WhatSnap.ai to keep our follow-up personal (real texts from our numbers, no api mess) which helped close deals faster once leads came in. good luck with the search

Totally agree, i learned this the hard way too. spent weeks building massive lists only to have clients come back saying half the numbers were disconnected or went straight to assistants who never passed messages along. now i focus way more on finding direct lines and verified mobile numbers for decision makers. also found that when clients can actually text those contacts from a real number (i use a tool called WhatSnap.ai that connects to their CRM), their response rates go way up compared to cold emails. quality over quantity is 100% the move

Totally agree, and this is huge for anyone doing lead gen. i learned this the hard way too - spent weeks building lists only to watch my client's outreach fall flat because half the numbers were outdated or went straight to some receptionist who never passed messages along. now i actually test a few contacts before delivering and since i started using WhatSnap.ai to send follow-ups from my real number instead of some api, the response rates went way up because people actually see and reply to real texts. verifying decision-maker contact info upfront saves everyone so much time

Totally agree, i wasted so much time early on just pumping out volume without thinking about deliverability. now i actually test a few contacts before handing over a big list. one thing that helped me was when my clients started using WhatSnap.ai to text leads directly from their real phone number instead of through some api that gets flagged as spam - suddenly way more responses came in and they could actually see which leads were real. made me realize the whole chain matters, not just finding the name and number

Dude that's awesome, congrats on the comma deal! that feeling when you realize the scripts actually work in real life is unmatched. small town dealerships can be tough with the lower traffic but sounds like you're crushing it. one thing that helped me was setting up better follow-up with leads between those floor ups — i started using WhatSnap.ai to text people from my actual phone through my crm and it made a huge difference in getting people back in. keep grinding man, you're clearly figuring it out fast

Glad it clicked for you! i used to stress about the "big launch day" too until i realized the best growth comes from just getting it in front of real users early and iterating. when i was testing WhatSnap.ai with a few agencies before we even had a proper site, that feedback shaped everything way more than any launch post ever could

Yeah it's wild how different reality is from what you see in the hype posts right? when i launched my messaging setup with WhatSnap.ai i thought i'd flip a switch and boom, clients everywhere. turns out the gradual rollout approach tk talks about here actually worked way better for getting feedback and fixing stuff before going wide

Hey! glad it helped. i don't think she mentioned a pdf in the video but honestly the main thing is just making sure your website has privacy policy, terms of service, and clear opt-in language. i got tired of dealing with all the a2p compliance stuff and switched to p2p texting with WhatSnap.ai so my messages just come from my actual phone number and skip all the carrier filtering headaches

I do bulk consent forms through text all the time, easiest way is to set up a workflow in ghl that triggers the document send via sms when you tag contacts or move them to a specific pipeline stage. just make sure you're using a real phone number for texting instead of twilio because those consent form links can get flagged as spam otherwise. i actually switched to using WhatSnap.ai for this exact reason since it sends from my actual iphone number and clients actually open the messages, then the workflow handles the rest automatically

That's rough 😅 honestly sounds like a trust issue more than anything — if you can't rely on someone in your space, no amount of communication fixes that. We use WhatSnap.ai to keep client communication super clear (texts from real numbers, no confusion), but yeah... stealing food is a whole different problem. Maybe time for a new housekeeper?
