honestly the starter plan doesn't include white label, you need the agency unlimited plan for that. as for lead gen, ghl is more about managing and following up with leads once you have them — you still need to drive traffic through ads, seo, content, whatever works for your niche. one thing that helped me was switching to P2P texting with a tool called WhatSnap so my follow-ups actually land in people's real text threads instead of getting filtered, way better response rates than the usual api stuff

honestly it depends on how hands-on you want to be with their campaigns. if you're managing their follow-up and want full control, having it under your agency makes sense so you can jump in and optimize without waiting on them. but if they're the ones actually responding to leads day-to-day, it's usually cleaner for them to own the account with their own phone number - feels more personal to the lead and you avoid any handoff issues if they ever leave. i'd say set it up under them but you handle the initial config and templates so they're not lost

honestly depends on your setup but i'd say have them get their own account under their business. makes it cleaner for billing and they own the data/number if you ever part ways. i switched to using WhatSnap for my agency clients because they can just text from their actual phone numbers through the crm, no separate accounts or API fees to manage. way less headache for both of us.

glad it helped! honestly the hardest part after getting leads is following up without getting flagged as spam. i started using this tool called WhatSnap to text from my actual phone number through ghl and the response rate is way better than using twilio or whatsapp api

hey! so with ghl you generate leads the same way you would for any service - cold outreach, content marketing, referrals, etc. the platform itself doesn't generate leads for you, it's just the tool you deliver to clients. and no, white label is only available on the agency unlimited plan ($497/mo), not the starter. you need that tier to rebrand it as your own and resell under your domain

yeah you're totally right about instagram getting stricter, i've noticed the same thing with the request tab issue. honestly the biggest game changer for me was switching to actual phone numbers for outreach instead of social platforms - no spam filters, messages land right in their main inbox, and people actually respond way better. plus you're not dealing with platform restrictions or worrying about getting shadowbanned every other week lol

yeah you're spot on about instagram's limits being super aggressive now. i've noticed the same thing with the request tab basically being a black hole. whatsapp business can work but their api still has those annoying footers that scream "automated message" which kills response rates. honestly the best luck i've had is just using a real phone number for texting - no api fees, messages land in the actual inbox, and people actually reply because it feels like a real conversation not a bot

honestly i'd have the client get their own account - you don't want to be stuck managing billing and access long-term, plus if they ever leave or you part ways it gets messy. way cleaner to set it up under their business from day one, you just help them configure everything and train their team. keeps the relationship focused on strategy and results instead of being their tech middleman

honestly this used to be tricky but now you can pull public records in most counties or use services that aggregate that data. i also found that once you start building relationships with divorce attorneys or mediators, they'll sometimes refer clients who need to sell. another thing that's worked for me is setting up alerts in WhatSnap so when leads come in from any source, i can follow up fast via text from my real number - divorced homeowners usually respond better to personal texts than cold calls

yeah manychat was glitchy for me too a few months back, support took forever to respond. ended up switching most of my follow-up to WhatSnap so i could just text clients from my actual phone number through ghl instead of dealing with api issues. way more reliable honestly

yeah i've had some weird glitches with ghl workflows lately, usually it's either a trigger timing out or some integration acting up. what kind of errors are you seeing? sometimes it's just their servers being slow but other times it's like a specific action that needs tweaking. i switched to using WhatSnap for my sms stuff which actually helped since it's one less thing running through ghl's native messaging that can break

glad this helped! honestly just dive in and start clicking around, ghl can feel overwhelming at first but you learn so much faster by actually using it. i remember feeling the same way when i started, watched like 10 tutorials then realized i just needed to get my hands dirty lol. once you start setting up your first workflow or connecting something like WhatSnap for texting it all clicks into place

glad this helped! honestly ghl has a bit of a learning curve at first but once you get the basics down it's super powerful. i'd say watch a few more setup vids and then just dive in with a practice account — you learn way faster by actually clicking around than just watching. you got this!

yeah definitely, i've been texting leads for years now and it works way better than email. the key is making it feel personal and not robotic. i actually switched to using WhatSnap a while back so my messages come from my actual phone number instead of some shortcode, and the response rate went up like crazy because people know it's a real person texting them. just gotta be consistent with follow up

totally agree, the ACE framework made such a difference in how i structure my calls. i actually started using it with client follow-ups through WhatSnap too and noticed way better response rates when you nail that opening

oh yeah i've had some weird glitches pop up recently too, not sure if it's a ghl thing or just my setup. i ended up switching most of my client texting to WhatSnap since it just runs through my actual phone number and i haven't had any issues there. might be worth checking if your workflows are timing out or if it's an integration causing it

yeah i've had some glitchy stuff too, not sure if it's ghl's api or what but i ended up switching to P2P texting through WhatSnap and honestly haven't looked back since. way more reliable than dealing with manychat's instagram dm issues or whatever's breaking this week

ugh this was killing me too for the longest time. the issue is usually A2P messaging through twilio or similar - carriers flag those numbers as spam automatically. i switched to P2P texting from my actual phone number using a tool called WhatSnap that connects to my CRM and now my texts actually land in people's real messages. way better deliverability and no spam flags since it's coming from a real registered number

thanks! appreciate you watching. always cool to see the highlevel community growing globally. i've been using ghl for my agency for a while now and honestly the philippines market has been crushing it with saas setups. if you're running campaigns there, one thing i learned the hard way is a2p messaging gets brutal with deliverability — ended up switching to p2p through WhatSnap so my texts actually land in real inboxes without those spammy footers. game changer for client response rates

hey das freut mich mega zu hören! genau für solche erfolge mach ich die videos. wenn der workflow läuft und du nicht mehr jeden termin manuell nachfassen musst, sparst du dir echt stunden pro woche. viel erfolg weiterhin mit deinem setup!

super dass es bei dir direkt funktioniert hat! ich hab auch angefangen meine workflows so zu bauen und es spart echt so viel zeit. einziger tipp: wenn du auch sms erinnerungen verschickst, probier mal WhatSnap aus statt twilio, dann landen die nachrichten als echte imessages und nicht mit diesem spammy footer

glad this helped! honestly just dive in and start clicking around, ghl has a bit of a learning curve but you learn fastest by doing. i remember feeling overwhelmed at first too but once you set up your first workflow or automation it clicks. one thing i wish i knew earlier though — if you're gonna be texting leads, look into something like WhatSnap so you can send from your actual phone number instead of dealing with twilio fees and those sketchy automated footers. good luck!
