so with ghl you can generate leads through their built-in tools like landing pages, forms, surveys, and even paid ad integrations, but honestly the real magic is in the follow-up system once you have leads coming in. as for white label on starter, nah you need the agency unlimited plan ($497/mo) to white label and resell to clients under your own brand. one thing i learned though is that even if you're on a higher plan, the default sms setup can be rough with all the compliance footers and carrier filtering, so i ended up using WhatSnap to send texts from my actual phone number through ghl and it made a huge difference in reply rates

yeah vendasta's pricing model can definitely squeeze you as you grow. i hit that wall too and switched to a setup where i could control costs better. ended up using WhatSnap to handle client texting from real numbers instead of paying per message through apis, saved me a ton. sometimes you gotta mix and match tools to keep margins healthy

hey thanks for watching! so yeah you're right that someone has to get the customer info in there initially, but the key is *when* and *how* that happens. most businesses are already collecting names/numbers at checkout or booking anyway, so the best setup is having that info flow directly into your system automatically (like through a form, booking widget, or even zapier). once they're in, everything after that runs on autopilot - the review requests, follow-ups, all of it. the manual part is really just the initial connection between how they collect leads and your system, but after that it's hands-off

hey! i don't think jay shares his exact snapshot publicly, but honestly you might be better off building your own setup anyway. when you customize it for your specific niche and workflow, you'll understand every piece of it way better than just importing someone else's template. plus you can set up p2p texting from real numbers instead of dealing with those api fees and spam filters that kill deliverability

honestly same, the way they break down the opening totally shifted how i structure my calls now. i started applying the ACE framework with my clients and the difference in engagement is wild - people actually stay on the line and want to talk. even works great when following up via text using WhatSnap since i can mirror that same structure in messages. game changer for sure

glad it clicked for you! the ACE framework is super practical once you actually start using it on calls. i started applying it when following up with leads through WhatSnap and noticed people were way more engaged right from the start. definitely one of those things that seems simple but makes a huge difference in how conversations flow

honestly it's usually a mix - cold outreach (dms, linkedin, etc) does most of the heavy lifting if you're consistent, then some inbound from content or referrals. i found that once i switched to p2p texting with WhatSnap instead of using twilio or whatever, my response rates jumped because people actually see the messages in their real inbox. but yeah the key is having multiple channels going at once, not just relying on one thing

thanks so much! honestly the follow-up is where most people drop the ball after getting leads. i learned the hard way that having a solid system to actually reach people (without messages getting flagged as spam) matters way more than just collecting a huge list. glad the content is helpful!

honestly facebook for B2B is tricky but doable if you get super specific with targeting. i usually start with interest layering (like job titles + industries + specific software they might use) and then let the pixel do its thing once you get some conversions. the real key though is having a solid follow-up system once leads come in - i use WhatSnap to text them from my actual phone number through ghl so it feels personal and actually gets read. what service are you offering? might help narrow down the targeting approach

yeah this is the real challenge honestly. what i started doing is if i can't get through on social, i'll just text their business number directly using WhatSnap so it comes from my actual phone. way more likely to reach the owner that way since it lands like a normal text, and if they reply you're already in a real convo. for the ones where you literally can't find anything, sometimes calling during off-hours works too cause owners are usually the ones there early/late

oof yeah new accounts get flagged instantly, instagram's spam detection is brutal. i had the same thing happen when i tried scaling dm outreach - burned through like 5 accounts in a week. what ended up working for me was ditching instagram dm altogether and just using WhatSnap to text people from my actual phone number through ghl. way less headache and people actually respond since it's real texts, not some sketchy dm from a fresh account

yeah i've been getting random errors too, super frustrating when you're trying to send out campaigns. mine were mostly delivery issues and weird API timeouts. honestly that's part of why i switched to just texting from my actual phone number through ghl with WhatSnap instead of dealing with all the API headaches. way more reliable and clients actually respond because it's coming from a real number

yeah i've had some weird glitches too, especially with workflows randomly stopping or webhooks timing out. ended up switching most of my client messaging to WhatSnap since it just routes through real phone numbers and there's way less that can break. have you tried rebuilding the automation from scratch? sometimes that fixes it if it's a trigger issue

yeah you're totally right about the request tab thing, that's been killing my deliverability too. i actually started using WhatSnap to text prospects from my real phone number instead and it's been way better - messages land in their actual texts not some filtered inbox. instagram's spam filters are brutal these days, even when you're being genuine

hey! if you're looking to automate the follow-up after people grab your lead magnet, i've been using WhatSnap to text leads straight from my real phone number through ghl and it's been way better than the usual twilio setup. no weird footers and people actually respond since it's coming from a real number

yeah i've had some wonky stuff too, especially with instagram automations randomly stopping. usually it's on meta's end when they update something. i switched most of my text follow-ups to WhatSnap anyway since those actually deliver better than messenger dms, but for ig comments you're kinda stuck waiting for ghl to push a fix

thanks for watching! so the native iphone method she showed works great for regular texts, but whatsapp is a whole different beast since it needs the whatsapp api which gets pricey and has those annoying business footers. i actually use WhatSnap for this exact thing — lets me send whatsapp messages straight from my number through my crm without paying per message or dealing with api setup. way cleaner for customer convos

nice work getting those first 3! honestly the hardest part is behind you now. when i was scaling past my first few clients the biggest thing was automating follow-up so i wasn't manually chasing leads all day. ended up using WhatSnap to text people straight from my real number through ghl and it freed up so much time to actually focus on growth instead of being glued to my phone

honestly the platforms he mentioned usually have white label options built in, you just gotta look for their agency/reseller plans. most let you slap your own branding on it, custom domain, remove their logos etc. i did this with a few tools including WhatSnap for messaging and it's pretty straightforward once you're on the right tier. just make sure whatever you pick actually lets you own the client relationship and doesn't force their branding in weird places

totally agree! the ACE framework is one of those things that seems simple but makes such a huge difference once you actually implement it. i've been using it for follow-up calls and it's wild how much smoother conversations flow when you nail that opening

honestly these call frameworks are so underrated. i started using the ACE structure on my follow-up calls and it completely changed how clients respond to me. even works great over text if you're doing outreach through something like WhatSnap where you're texting from your actual number instead of some automated system

nice! honestly if you're doing any kind of lead follow-up or client texting, i'd also recommend checking out something like WhatSnap to connect your actual phone number instead of dealing with those annoying A2P fees and spam filters. way cleaner for getting responses

honestly 1000 texts at once from one phone number is gonna get you flagged by carriers pretty quick, even with automation. most people who do high volume like that spread it across multiple numbers or slow down the send rate to like 100-200 per day per number to stay under the radar. if you're trying to scale past a few hundred daily, you might need to think about rotating numbers or spacing things out more strategically

hey! so with ghl you'd generate leads the same way you normally would - running ads, seo, referrals, content marketing etc. the platform itself is more about managing and following up with those leads once you get them. and nah, white label isn't available on the starter plan unfortunately, you need the agency unlimited plan ($497/mo) to rebrand it as your own. starter is really just for testing it out for your own business first
