1. Welcome: Getting Started: Hello and welcome to the
GHL Service Pro Roadmap, where I'm going to
show you how to be a profitable service provider
for G high level agencies. In this program, you're
going to learn the skills to become a proficient
high level user, ways to monetize those skills
remotely to give you time, location, and financial freedom, and you're also going to
learn my favorite way to get well qualified, well paying clients without
using any advertising. Using the skills
that I'm going to teach you inside of this course, I've been able to
support a family of four on a single income. These are by far, some of the most transferable
and valuable skills that you can learn on
the Internet today. You're providing a real service to a real business that has real tangible value and drives toward a real
business outcome. Now, if you see me on
YouTube or you may have taken some of my other
courses on high level SAS, this service provider model
is going to be slightly different than the
traditional SAS model that I've talked about in some of my other programs because we're not actually bringing people onto our own white label
of high level. Instead, what we're
doing is we're actually providing service work
to other agencies, and this is more of
a middleman model, more of a freelancer model than selling a product or selling
a service to end users. However, if somebody
does come to us and doesn't have a high level
account just yet, right? They're a small business.
They're just starting out, but they maybe saw some
of our content online. We are going to go ahead
and we're going to refer them to high level as an affiliate and
earn some affiliate commissions as well
along the way. And to give you kind of a
big picture strategy here, it's really, really simple. Number one, we're going
to start with creating long form content to attract
our ideal prospects. Then we're going to use
a lead magnet to educate these people one to many,
nurture our prospects. And then when they're
ready to buy, we're going to close
high dollar deals with quick chats over Zoom. I don't really want to
call them a sales call, that's not what they 90% of the people are
going to be coming onto your Zoom calls presold
and ready to do business. It's just going
to be a matter of hammering out some
final details, and you'll be off to the races. So with that said, I want to say welcome again
to the program, and I will see you
in the next lesson.
2. Welcome: What You Need to Succeed: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going to be talking about all of
the things that you need to succeed as a go
high level service pro. Now, unlike a full
fledged SAS company, the list of things that
you're going to need is a little bit lighter
weight because we're only going to be maybe
a one person operation. Perhaps maybe you've
got a team of one, maybe two VAs, but generally, it's going to be a lot less of a lift to get this
business off the ground. However, there are still a few essentials that
you're going to need, and there's going to be a
few things that are going to be nice to have
along the way. Now, I've also taken
the time to break these down into the
absolute must haves, the should haves,
and the nice to have when you're getting this business here
off the ground. First, we're going to start
with the absolute must haves. Number one, you're going to need at least a $97 high
level account. Now, I'm going to leave links to every resource down below
every single lesson. That way, if you
ever need a link, you can go ahead and grab it. But you're going to need at least a $97 high
level account. You won't necessarily need
a 297 or a $497 account for this particular model, but you do need at least one
sub account and you can go ahead and you can work in
and out of every single day, not only to learn the system, but also to run your
own business, right? You're going to have a lot more credibility if you're eating your own dog food
and you're working inside of high level
every single day. Also going to need a
free Cloudflare account. Now, I'm going to
leave a link down below to a video showing you
how to set up Cloudflare. But basically, you're
going to need a CloudFlare account to do all of your DNS because high level really is built for
either Cloudflare, Go Daddy or Google domains. A lot of their domain setup
happens automatically, and it's going to make
your life 100 times easier if you have Cloudflare
managing your DNS. I also recommend that you
grab a name cheap account to go and buy your domains
or any other domains. Now, you can buy your domains
inside of High level. However, I don't do
that because I want to keep especially in
anything that I do online, I want to keep my domains independent of
anything else that I do because I'm not saying that high level will do this,
but high level could. If you buy your
domain from them, they could hold you hostage
or hold that domain hostage. It's something that
Click Funnels does. It's something that WIX does. I prefer to just buy my domains specifically on Namecheap, because one they give you
free privacy unlimited. They give you free privacy. Your information's not
going to be out there. It's a free service
that they offer. A lot of places will charge two or three bucks
a year for that. Namecheap does it for free, and also Namecheap is some of the cheapest domains that
I found on the Internet. But, yeah, I want
you to go ahead, grab your domains
over on Namecheap rather than grabbing them
inside of high level, again, just because you'll
have that extra layer of control over
your domain name. And again, I've left links to
everything here down below. Inside of your $97
high level account, when you get your
high level account, when later lessons, I'll show you how to
set everything up. But high level is going to
give you three sub accounts to work out of so that you can run your business out
of one sub account. Then create your signature framework, snapshot in another. Now, we're going to get
into this in later lessons, but it's going to be
an easier sale for you and it'll be easier for
you to make content if you develop one
signature framework that you put into pretty
much all of your accounts and use that as a
snapshot kind of as a starting point so you can start performing
your service work, especially on your
scratch builds. Again, we'll get into
it in a later video. Again, the $97 is a low cost. It's a much more
accessible option than the two niney seven
or the 497 account. Although you may upgrade to
a 297 if you start having multiple snapshots that
you're building and you've got multiple
accounts that you want to go
ahead and maintain. Although I don't
see a 497 account, full SAS account
really being needed in the service provider
model that we have here because you're not
going to be bringing on a lot of volume accounts. Really need the
automated onboarding that the 497 there provides. And then you can
go ahead and you can use a third account. So we've got your
one company account, we've got your second
signature framework account, and then you've got a third sub account that you
can kind of just use as a sandbox that you can
click around, try things. You can break things.
You're not going to affect your day
to day business. It's really something
that when high level comes out
with a new feature, you can run right over
to that sandbox account, click around, and it doesn't matter if
you break anything. It doesn't matter if you
break it because you can always go to support,
and they can reset it. Whatever you do in that
third account is not going to affect your main company account that you're
using every single day. Now, when it comes
to CloudFlare and your name cheap accounts,
I covered this before, but CloudFlare makes
your DNS stuff super easy and super fast, while securing your site for free and also
speeding it up. And again, a lot of the DNS stuff when you go to hook up domains
and things like that, it's really built
for Cloudflare. It makes it really,
really easy. A lot of things are automatic and
you're not copying and pasting DNS records manual
through something else. Namecheap is also,
again, going to provide your domain
privacy free, and it also keeps your domain independent of any platform, so high level cannot hold your domain hostage or click
funnels or Wix or anywhere. Just buy your domains. I'm going to say this till
I'm blue in the face. Buy your domains independently of any platform that
you're working on. Now, when it comes to your
business should have, you should have an EIN, LLC and an operating agreement. You should have a
business bank account and a credit card,
business credit card. And you should have
a stripe account to process your payments
from your clients. Again, I've got links to everything down
below this video. Let's kind of go through
them here more in depth. So your EIN, your LLC, and your operating
agreement, okay? Your EIN stands for employer
identification number. This is something
that is free to get. You can go right to the IRS, get one in about 5 minutes, and then you can use that to then form an LLC in your state. I have a feeling
a lot of you are going to be watching
this in the US. If you're international,
you're watching this abroad. Look up your local
business entities. I don't know, unfortunately, the specifics of how
to get that abroad. But if you are in the US, go to your local state's website. There's actually a link
to a YouTube video I did showing you how to
get both of those things. And the third thing that you're going to want to get even if you're a one person agency and even if you're
a one person show, grab and make an
operating agreement because banks and local
credit unions are going to want to see an LLC and an operating agreement to
open a business bank account. I remember when I first opened my business bank account
for my first business, they wanted to see my EIN. They want to see my LLC.
I sent that to them. I got a phone call in the
car and they said, Hey, you want to see your, we want to see your
operating agreement. I didn't have one.
So what I did, I was actually driving
Uber at the time. I pulled into a parking lot. I had my laptop
in the back seat. I found I think I got off a McDonald's or Starbucks Wi Fi, I parked close to the
building, open up my laptop and found eforms.com. It's all on the YouTube video. I'll show you how to do that. But I created my
operating agreement right there, and I had
to sign it myself. I think I went to a library.
It was a big production. But Make sure that you have that before you're going in
for a business bank account. And these are also really
easy to DIY, okay? EINs are free, and LLCs only require a small
state filing fee. My state of Pennsylvania, I think it's $195 to file
an LLC and form an LLC. It's not much. And again, it's
like three papers that you got to fill out that are
pretty self explanatory. Again, banks will
also want to see both an LLC and an
operating agreement. In terms of business bank
account and credit card, it's always good
practice to keep your business funds and
your personal funds separate because it makes it way easier to do your books and calculate your
profit on a monthly basis, and it makes it really easy to prepare when it
comes for tax time. You're running your business out of your personal bank account, separating what's a
business expense and what's a personal expense is going
to be way time consuming. And it also might open you
up for liability later. If you're co mingling funds. So, go to a local credit
union and that's what I did. My local Credit Union has
free checking accounts. I opened up a free checking
account for my business, and then I also got a business credit card
from the credit union that I now go ahead and I use for all of my
business transactions. Now, I use a credit card and not a debit card
because a credit cards going to shield your funds from anybody who might
get the card number. So if you get to the point where you're going to run
ads on Facebook, I was running ads on Facebook, and I was new. We hadn't gotten
the credit card. But we were trying
to launch quickly. We were trying to get
things up and running, running ads, and our
account got hacked. And the person who
hacked the account, it was a business debit
card that was there. They turned the ads
up to $10,000 a day, and they drained our
account in about 24 hours, and we were just we were done. Ran out of money, busted, and because it was
an investigation, because we were on the we were on the hook because
it was a debit card, didn't get our money back
for about six weeks. And it got really, really hard to do business. Had that been a credit
card, basically, I would have called up
the credit card company, said, Hey, account's
been compromised. Most credit cards
have a $0 liability. They say, no problem. We'll credit the money, shut the card off, get
you a new card, you're back in
business the next day, and you're not out
any actual cash. So, get a credit card, not a debit card as
soon as you can, because if something happens, you want to keep
your money safe. And then finally, we get into
the business nice to haves. Which is a Canva Pro account
and a Google brand account. So for your Canva Pro account, I'm actually creating
these presentations with my Canva Pro account. If you're watching
this video and you've been in the online
space for a while, you probably already have one. If you're new to the space, a Canva Pro account is
worth its weight in gold. If you're not used
to PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop or really
any real design software, Canvas awesome because you're going to be using
it to make content. You're using it to
make deliverables. If you're doing presentations
like this for YouTube, Canva just makes it really,
really, really easy. I can't stress that enough. And also, a lot of your clients, if they're not designers, they might use Canva too. So if you want to be
sharing templates back and forth, everything's
very compatible. And again, Canvas
pretty universal. As far as a Google
brand account goes, you're going to want
to create a separate Google account for
your business, again, keep your business
and your personal separate just because, again, it's going to be easier, and
if one gets compromised, you don't want the
other one at risk. So I actually have a special Google Gmail account
for my business and one for my personal
it just makes life a lot easier and
I sleep a lot better, knowing that my business
and my personal stuff are separate and there's a big giant wall
between the two. And having said that, I will
see you in the next lesson. Again, I've left
links to everything, links to more content down below this video showing you how to get all the
different stuff. So I will see you
in the next lesson.
3. Welcome: Getting GHL Certified (Or Not): Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this lesson, we're
going to be talking about the high level certified Admin program and whether you should get certified or not. Now, if you're unfamiliar, high level has an official
certification program called their certified
Admin Program. Essentially, what it is,
it's a way for high level to vet their users and vet
their service providers, and it puts them through a test. And if you pass that
test, you then get the high level admin
certified seal of approval, and you can then use
that as a way to market yourself as
a service provider, and you also get access
to exclusive leads. Now, the program
is an extra cost. The certification
does cost an extra $97 a month or
$970 for the year. But in my opinion, at the
time that I was certified, it was well worth it because
I generated well over $5,000 in business in the first two months
of becoming certified, so the certification
paid for itself. Now, should you get
certified or not, it's going to depend
upon a couple of things, and when you should
get certified is also going to matter. Because when you join the
certified Admin program, you don't get the badge
until you pass the test and you don't get to pass the test until you
know the program. But you start paying your
membership fees on day one. So for me, I've been using
high level since 2022, and this program came
out, I want to say, like, midway through 2023,
maybe early 2024. So I'd been using it
for almost two years, ahead of time, I knew
this system in and out. I was able to take
my test on day one, get past and schedule my
test for two weeks later. And I basically got certified
in the first month, so I didn't have runway, right? I wasn't spending time
learning the program. So but once you get
in the program, let me show you what it
looks like once you're in. Now, when you do get certified, here's what you get access to. Inside of here, this
is going to get the private certified
Admins group. My membership has since
lapsed because I put more of my effort here on SAS
and content creation. But inside here, you will see the high level
certified Admins group. Alicia, she's the director of certifications. She
runs the group. And essentially, this is
a place where they're going to put leads for people
who need high level work, and they kind of
put up a post that will say, opportunity needed. The work needed, there's a little blurb and then all the person's
contact information. When they go up, you will get an email that basically says, you've been tagged in a post, and that post will have
the person's information, it will have the lead to
go ahead and follow up. I'll go over how I converted these leads into paying
clients in a later lesson. But basically, that's the
core reason why you would get the certified Admin badge
was for those leads. And I got those leads. I got a couple of jobs
from those leads, but that was
probably if you were looking for a direct ROI, that's why I would go
ahead and get certified. The intangible reasons
to get certified, it was going to be
that you actually get listed in their high
level directory. This is the high level
certified directory. And as you can see, you get this director with your picture. You get you get a little blurb about you, links
to your socials. And if somebody's looking
for a certified admin, you've probably seen
it in the high level Facebook groups that they're always pushing this director. They say, Go find a certified
person here for work, and they sling a link
to this directory. So, along with the group and the exclusive
leads in the group, you do get listed an
exclusive directory here. Now, you also get this
badge that you're allowed to display on your profile
on sites like Upwork, on sites like LinkedIn. And now this is starting
to become a thing where people know if someone's
high level certified, they know that they've
passed the test, they know that they know
what they're doing, and you can charge more money when it comes to doing work because you have the official seal of approval. Think of this as like having
a Salesforce certification. That's probably the
number the apples to apples kind of comparison. Salesforce certification,
high level certification, they're kind of trying
to do the same thing. And before you think
that the certification is just kind of a rubber stamp, it is a really hard test to pass if you've never
used high level before. Oh, again, don't go ahead and don't get
certified right away. Some people do use the
certification materials to go try to learn the system. I'm going to do my best here in this program to show you
how to learn the system. If you want to do that, just know that
you're going to pay $97 a month to learn high level. But again, it's a hard test to pass because
if you look here, you've got 410 members
in the certified group. When you first join, you get into the certifications group, which has 2000 members. So they've only got
about a 25% pass rate. This is everybody who's studying this is everybody who's passed. So you'll see that
there's 2,400 members. And the way the test works is
there's actually two parts. There's your Part A,
which is going to be, I think it's a three or 400 question multiple choice
tests about high level. And then there's Part B, which I call it a live proctored exam, where you're actually
going to set up a blank high level account. They give you a fictitious
scenario with a client, and then it's up to you
the admin to create basically the scenario
that the client wants inside of an hour or less. It's a live test, and it is
a practical exam as well. But once you pass, you then
get your certification badge, and you can start
raising your prices and listing yourself as an
admin everywhere else. So again, for me, I see
value in getting certified, although I would not get
certified to learn the system. I would learn the
system and then get certified because again, your payment of $97 a
month starts on day one. And if you're going to spend three or four months
learning the system, you're going to be
out 300 or $400 just learning the system.
You can do that for free. Use your sandbox
account, click around, go watch some
YouTube videos about different scenarios and then try to recreate
them on your own. That's how you're going
to learn the system. There's really no A to B. Kind of this is how the
system works out there. Again, I'm going to try to
create it with this program, but there's going to be
a lot of curveballs that get thrown at you and
that's going to be you're only going to
know those answers from trial and error and clicking around inside of
your own account. But when the time
comes and you're comfortable with the system
and you can basically set up an account from
scratch and then set up a calendar and set up
a basic automation, you're ready to go
ahead and go get certified and
schedule your test. So again, I recommend this, just not yet, make sure
you know the system, but when the time comes,
there's a link right below this to go ahead and
go get certified. And with that said, I will
see you in the next lesson.
4. Welcome: What You Should Charge: Hey, welcome back
to the program. Hopefully this lesson is
going to open up your eyes, and hopefully this
is going to be kind of a recalibration moment for you because in this video, we're going to be talking
about how much you can charge as a high
level service P. Now, let me start off by
saying that this is what is considered a dark market. So there is no
published going rate. There's no market rate. There's no AI Is this
a good price or not? Everything is completely
subjective and between you and the people
that you're selling to. However, these were my prices, and this is actually what
I charge to do work. For project based
builds, generally, this is going to be
something that is a full buildout from scratch. There's going to be a
lot of new agencies where people have a lot more
money than they have time. For a full buildout, I'll go
anywhere $2500-5 thousand. Now, a $5,000 build will be something where I
set up their agency account, their company sub account, and create a custom snapshot for that particular person all built natively
within high level. I will not do any
outside integrations unless it was something
that's like adding a tag from Zappi or
somewhere like that. I do not know how to code I don't know. I'm
not a developer. So if you're a developer,
you can do more, and you can probably charge
way more than $5,000, as I'll show you later
on in the video. For a $2,500
buildout, generally, that would be just setting
up their agency account and their company sub account
without the custom snapshot. And just for reference,
high level does offer a basic setup service
natively for $1,000, which will set up
their I think it's just their agency account
and just their domains. So it's very, very
basic and it's $1,000. So that's the floor,
essentially of the market. So for setups and builds, do not charge less
than 1,000 bucks. When it came to hourly jobs, if it was someone who
wanted me either on retainer for consulting
or somebody wanted me to tangle support tickets for them or look at some of
their processes, right? It wasn't a defined project
of, Hey, build this. It was kind of a, again, I'll pay you by the hour. My hourly rate was
$55-100 an hour. And now here's where I
got those figures from. Number one, the work that
you're doing is going to be comparable to that of
a Salesforce admin. And as you can see here on some of these quick Google searches, the average salary for a salesforce admin is
about $90,000 a year. If you average that
out over 2,080 hours a typical
40 hour workweek, that comes out to
about $43 an hour. So having that 55 to $100 range is middle to upper
sales force admin. But you'll see, as we get into the program, if you're
putting out content, you're building a brand,
you're going to be able to command above
average pricing. And Alex Hormozi actually talks about this calling
brand equity, right? Nike can sell a pair
of sneakers for $300 with the Jordan
logo on them, whereas a basic no name shoe, 15 20 bucks, but they
both go on your feet, and they're both sneakers and
they both feel comfortable. But Nike can get that premium because of the brand
and because of all the content that
Jordan has put out over the years in the form
of sports highlights. So you're going to do
something similar on YouTube to get that
premium pricing. Now, when it comes to the
full $5,000 buildout, a full buildout from
scratch, again, company account and sub
account snapshot setup will take every bit of
100 hours to complete. If you account for also revisions and then supporting
your client afterwards, all the little texts, all the email chains back and forth, the quick calls that
they want to jump on, it's going to be every bit
of 100 hours into a project, and $50 an hour times 100
hours is a $5,000 job. And for the first
account, you're going to be building
everything from scratch. You're going to be
building everything custom to the way that
the client wants. However, on the second
and the third build, ideally, what you want
to do is you want to create a snapshot
of your first one. So essentially, that
becomes a template that you can import to number
two and number three, and you can drastically reduce the amount of hours you
spend on a project, which can actually boost
your per hour compensation. So the first one was 100%
going to take you 100, maybe even 200 hours to build. But the second,
third, fourth one, sometimes you might get that
down to 20 or 30 hours, but it's still worth
a $5,000 project. But we'll talk about doing all of this later on in the program. And if you look at some of the screenshots
here on the right, I am priced mid market. Now, I am way more than
somebody who may be based in a developing country
who's not putting out content Um I'm priced
more than them, but I'm certainly not the
highest in the field, right? There are people over here.
Like Kaitlin over here charges 15,000 $25,000
for a buildout. Jared does 150,250 an hour. Oscar does 150 an hour
for service work. So at my 50 to 100 and at
my $5,000 for a build, again, I'm kind of
middle of the road. Reason being is that number one, I am extremely a generalist
when it comes to this. This is also not my sole focus. My focus is putting people
onto my white label SAS. I became a service provider
as a hustle to pay my bills, as I was going through a
pivot, but these people here, their whole business
and their whole focus is providing service work
and building out teams, so they're able to command
higher pricing than me. Some of these people are
also either specialists in a specific area of high level or they have coding
experience, right? They are a developer.
I'm not a developer, so I can't charge
developer money. So again, if you
have development experience or you're
a specialist, and let's say am I am the
high level calendar expert, you can charge more than
me to build a calendar, because, again, you are
the calendar expert. As long as you get
more specialized, your price can generally go up. And before I close
out the slide, I want to let you know
that you should never sell out of your
own wallet, okay? The people that are going to be contacting you from YouTube, the people that are
gonna be contacting you for high level service work, oftentimes are going to have a lot more
money than you do. So if you think your
price is a lot of money, it doesn't necessarily
mean that it's a lot of money to the person
that you're selling to. Okay? So again, don't sell out
of your own wallet because the person's wallet
that you're selling to is often a lot
bigger than yours. And then, lastly, I
just want to address I know how to compete with
the $8 an hour pros, because I know I talk
about doing service work, I talk about my pricing, and I get a lot of
people that go, Well, what about the person on Five or who's building a
whole website for 50 bucks or what
about the person in Romania who's going to
work for $3 an hour? I don't want to throw shade
at those people, okay? Because people in
developing countries are professionals and they
absolutely will do good work. Okay, but they just
cannot command the pricing of a
US based provider. Again, we've seen all
the people on FV are offering to build full
websites, again, for 50 bucks. And again, they're often
in developing countries. The reason why they can't demand US market pricing is
generally because number one, is that their English
is not necessarily it's not their first
language, right? So their command of English
and their command of sales copy generally
is not there as a native speaker in terms of basically the
finnish product, right? So people from those
developing countries may require more revisions. They may take a
little bit of time, even though it takes less money, it's going to take
more time to get a project done and go
through more revisions. Having said that, I don't have anything against people
in developing nations. I've got two video editors
in the Philippines who I freaking love but I do
pay them top dollar. I think I pay them
double the market rate in the Philippines because their English is fluent and it is almost just
about native quality. And I can generally get videos in one, maybe
two revisions. So I'm willing to
pay a premium in money to get the speed
and getting a video out, and that's how your clients
are going to be thinking. They're going to pay
somebody who's US based, somebody who has US
business experience, and they can get the job
done with fewer revisions. That's why you can command ten times the price of somebody who might be working
for $3 an hour. So again, nothing against those in the
developing countries. Their technical skills
are often there. A lot of times, they're
better than someone like me. But I bring the I
bring the copy, the sales and the
marketing expertise, as well as the US
business sense. And again, and again, some of that sarcasm and just natural
English speaking ability to make the copy on the finished product
that much better. But having said
that, if you're in a developing country and
you're watching this, by all means, try to ask US
money, see what happens. Okay? If you're putting
out content on YouTube, like we are in the lesson, you're building
that brand, you're building that brand equity. If you have a YouTube
channel and you get a couple thousand
people that are out there, you can charge US pricing, even though you're not
in the US market, right? If you might be in a
developing country, but if you've got
a YouTube video, you can probably
charge US pricing. So again, we're going to talk about this later
on in the program, but by putting your
content out on YouTube, you're going to be
able to build a brand. You're also going to be able to increase your pricing power. Because a lot of the
people who are charging those low rates do not have any social media
presence at all. And with that said, I will
see you in the next lesson.
5. Welcome: Getting Official Help: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going
to be talking about all of the official high
level support options that are available to you, the high level user and high
level service provider. As much as I want to
say, I can help you with absolutely everything,
I can't, okay? I'm not going to be the
fastest person to respond, although you can email
me the questions. You can send me a message to try to try to get things sorted. But if I'm not there high
level is standing by 247. I want to show you
what you can use to get an answer again, 247. First off, when you're
inside the platform, if you come up here
to the top right, you'll see this little
blue blue question mark. If you open that,
that's going to be the official support window. Now, inside here, you've
actually got three buttons here. You're going to use
the Start chat a lot. If you open up the chat, it's going to start a
little chat over here. There's a support bot where
she's basically going to ask you some questions.
Is this affiliate? Is this technical? Is this billing support,
whatever it is? Generally, after a
quick screening, you will get into a live
chat with a real human. And again, as you'll
see right now, though, it takes about 20
minutes to find a human. So you might be sitting
here for a little while. Sometimes it's under 10 minutes, but right now it's replying
in under 20 minutes. And this will also keep a record of all of your
other chats, as well. So if you have
questions or like, Oh, what did I send them,
the chat will also keep a record of what
everything here was said. If you open up here, they
also have a phone number. If you contact them
right down here, right? For instance, if
something on the chats not working, you can call them. You can call High
level, which is really rare for a
software company. I generally don't see a lot of phone support, but
High level does that, and you can go through there and actually get phone
support that way as well. And then also, if you have something you just want
to raise a ticket, you can click Raise a ticket. I'll give you a form,
you fill it out, and then they get back to you
when they get back to you. But also, they have Zoom
people standing by. You click the Zoom. There's
a quick little chat, and then they will
schedule a Zoom call. You can hop in one to one
and figure out your issue, whatever it is that
you're working on. So these three buttons
will get used a lot. In three years, I've never
called them on the phone, but I do tell
everybody the phone is there if you need them. And as you can see, there's
also a welcome course, and there's also high level
events that they do inside the Facebook group to help
you understand the platform, you know, product town
halls and things like that. Speaking of the Facebook
group, it's right here. Again, I'm going to have links
to everything down below. Jump into this group if
you have not already, because if there is
something that's acting a little bit
weird, support, their first line support
sometimes doesn't understand or
recognize the issue. You can usually put
up a post in here, and there's probably
somebody who's done a weird work around,
figured it out, and they're super
helpful in here if you are if you run into issues. However, when you
first join this group, you might get a couple of weird DMs with people
offering their service work, but it does die
down after a while. But again, just know
when you join the group, you're going to get
some weird DMs, they go away in a couple of
days, a couple of weeks. So yeah, but hop in the community because this
is actually where they also do a lot of their live
events inside the group, and this is a really big
resource for somebody. Shawn here, the CEO, he will do a lot of product releases,
new feature releases. He does quick rundowns on them. And you as a service provider, should keep up on
top of these and kind of just you don't
have to be glued to them, but just understand
what's coming out when so that when someone inevitably asks you about you know about it, you're
not caught flat footed. The other group you can join is actually the high
level job network. This was created because inside of the main
high level group, there was a lot of
people asking for, Hey, I need someone to
build out this for me, or does anyone know how
to do X DME for a job? So basically they spun this
group off the main group. And as a service
provider in here, you can actually get
fined a fair amount of work because
people will put up people will put up posts looking for someone
to do work for them. So again, you come
in to here this person's looking for a high level specialist
about the role, this would probably be
an hourly type role. If somebody comes in here
looking for US based, high level expert, this is going to be a
gold mine for jobs. It might be a little
bit competitive, but if you have a
YouTube channel, you can refer to people and you have that certified badge, you're going to stand
a head and shoulders above most people in this group. And then, lastly, we have the high level support
portal itself. Basically, you go to help
dot go high level.com. It's going to take
you to this page where you can get all of
your customer support. And then there's also a bunch of help articles that
you can go ahead, read all the documentation, and most articles will have a video attached to
them showing you how to do. They've got
screenshots. Of course, I grab the one that
doesn't have a video. But more times than not,
there's usually a video showing you how to work that
particular feature, that particular
section of high level. So this is a resource I go into. I I I run into something I'm not quite sure how to solve or it's doing
something weird. This is where I go.
And with that said, between the official
chat support channels, the two groups,
and the helpdesk, you should have
enough to get going, and I will see you
in the next video.
6. Welcome: How GHL Accounts Are Structured: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this module, we're
going to start setting up your company sub account inside of your high
level agency account. And I understand that if this is a course on becoming a high
level service provider, if you already know high level, you can skip this entire module. For people who are new or want
some clarity or refresher, you can go through
this at two X speed. But I also understand there's going to be a lot of
people who've never used high possibly
taking this program, so I decided to include this module and make it
available if you want to, if you want to skip it or not. Now, having said
that, let's begin. So basically what I put up here on the screen is a diagram of how the $97 high
level account is set up. So when you first log in, you're going to
be taking up here up to your agency account, which is up at the agency level, and that's actually
covered setting that up, I'm covering that in
a different section, which I'll include setting
up your agency account, which I've basically
just pulled from my white label SAS because it's essentially going to be
the same type setup. And as a service provider, you're not really going to
spend a whole lot of time up. Instead, you're going to be
spending a lot of time down here into your
company's sub account. And you'll notice
that I actually have three sub accounts
here because you get three sub accounts on your
$97 plan of high level. So again, if you remember from one of the previous videos, we want to work our
day to day out of one. We want to maintain our
signature framework in another, and then we want
to use another one just to kind of sandbox
and mess around. So what we're going to do
is this module is going to focus on the
company sub account, we're going to focus
on setting that up. And then there's going
to be most likely another module on how to
basically set up your framework and then snapshot it so that you can then
import it into your client accounts
when they come to you looking for a scratch build. And then Sandbox account, I don't think I
really need to make a module on a sandbox account. It's just something
for you to go in, try stuff, experiment, freeing, click around, and
you're not going to affect either of these
two accounts here. So, having said that, we're going to
continue on the module where I'm setting up our
company sub account. I'll see you in the next video.
7. GHL Account Setup: Profile Setup: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm
going to show you how to set up the
personal profile and all of your personal details inside of your high
level sub account. So this way, when we
start using all of the user dots and all
of the location dots, custom values, everything
is going to pull correctly, you only have to do stuff once. Alright, so I'm here on the dashboard inside
of the sub account. And in case you don't know
how to get to the screen, when you're going to
log into high level, it's going to show
you your agency. And then you're
just going to do is you're going to
click this little this little slider here and you'll see the
three subaccounts. It does not matter
which one you pick. I think high level will load you with one when you
first start the trial. Just select the one that's
here. Basically just go ahead. Click the one that you want,
and it's going to bring you onto this
particular screen here. Now, once you're at this screen, if you come down to the
bottom here into settings, you will see on the left
side where it goes into Business profile and my profile. We're actually going
to set up both of these in this video. First up, we're going
to start inside of the Business profile
settings because these are probably going to be
filled out when you purchased High level or when
you started your trial. But real quick, I just want
to run down some of these. I'll start here kind
of on the left side. Then we'll go to the right side. Your business logo, you're
going to want to go ahead. You want to upload your
business logo here. Ideal size is going
to be 350 by 180. Again, it's easy enough
to upload a logo. You click the button,
go find a logo. And then once you've
uploaded your logo, you'll see it right here. Once that is uploaded, you're going to
see your friendly business name down here. Now, the friendly business name
inside of your sub account is what is going to show
over here on this side. So make sure that you change
this to your business name or something that
when you go ahead and search it inside
of a sub account, it shows up correctly.
Legal business name. This is what's gonna pull for when you start
doing your ATP, so you want to make
sure that you actually have your legal business name here complete with your
LLC on the end, right? Whatever you're legally
doing business as, Your friendly business name is basically what your
customers see. So let's just say
that my friendly business name here is Z demo, GHL Service Pro setup, and then my legal business name was Service Pro setup, LLC. If I didn't want
customers to see this, they are not going
to see this as long as I have the friendly
business name here. Then you just want
to create your business email, support at. Servicep.com. Again, you're going to have
your own email domain. If you don't have a
business email yet, I'm going to show
you how to set this up later on in the module, but just put what you want
your business email here to be ideally at your domain.com. Business phone number, again,
this should probably pull up when you purchase high level. I'm going to skip the
branded domain for now. I'm going to come
back to this when we go ahead and we start hooking up our email and our website
domain and our email domain. I'm going to do kind
of branded domains with that all in one module. So skipping over Branded domain, we're going to come down
here to Business website, you're going to want to put
your domain that you buy. Again, this is a fictitious one. Servicep.com. If you want to if you want to put a business niche
in there, you can. If not, you can leave it blank. It doesn't really pull anywhere. When you're done, you
make sure you hit update information.
Invalid country. If you're in the US, again, this is probably This probably happened when you
bought high level, but just make sure you
have a country code in there, update the information. And now once you update your information to
save this panel. Now we're going to come
over to our other panel here, your physical address. Again, make sure that
your address is here, that is the legal
business address. This is what's going to pull
when you go ahead and do your ATP application so
you can text people. So have your street
address there, platform language in English. If you want to change
it, you can change it to over I think it's about a dozen languages
now that they have. And then outbound
communication language. We also want to make this in
English if you're English, but you can also put
it here in Spanish. Update, just kind of make sure that all
that stuff is right. Authorized representative,
this is also going to be you. And again, this is going to
pull for when you start doing A two P. So you're just
going to put your name here, put your email or you can
put your support email. It does not matter. But make sure you put a
business email here. Servicepro.com. Job position. I make myself general manager. It doesn't really
matter what it is. And then phone
number, you can put your business phone
number here as well. You don't have to put a
personal phone number here. Um we can go ahead, do that. Hit update information. Coming down here into
Business Information, this is also going
to go onto your A two P. So a business type, you want to pick limited liability or
sole proprietorship. That's probably 99% of the people watching
here. So we click there. Industry, this is going to be I think it's professional services or services,
something like that. This one does matter. Let's
just put online for now. Online is there, and then
business registration ID type, again, 99% of the people here
will be watching in the US. So we put the EIN number, and then registration
number is going to be your EIN number. And
that's one, two. I think it's nine
numbers one, two. You'll have your EIN number. You put it over there. And then your business area
regions of operations, again, probably 99% of
you are US and Canada. Then we hit update information. That's done. Coming down here into call and
voicemail settings. Now, when you get
a phone number for your business that's going to
be here through high level, you're going to you can have a default kind of voicemail setup for
when you miss the call. If you want, you can
record a voicemail, upload the MP three here, and then you want to just
pick how long you want it to time out before
the voicemail picks up. For me, I just make
it 20 seconds, and then it goes through I hit Save call settings,
and it's there. So now the phones going to
ring for 20 seconds before it goes to voicemail or voice
AI picks up the phone. Now, when it comes over
here to the general, I do not allow
duplicate opportunity. I do not merge Facebook
contacts and I do not disable the
contact time zone. However, the bot detection, preventing statistics increment. So basically, this is
a really cool feature that high level added
relatively new. Is that basically,
if they detected a bot opened the email, they're not going to count
that as an opened email. It'll make your email statistics basically more accurate because it's only going to
show what humans did. So we are going
to check that on. Mark emails invalid due to
the hard bounce. Yes, I do. So if an email bounces,
it'll mark them invalid, and it will not deliver
to that person again. It's going to keep your
email deliverability up. And then validating
phone numbers when SMS is sent
to a new contact, I leave this checked off. But if you find that
you're getting a lot of bounces or a lot of spams,
you can check that on. I always verify email address
and I always make the email compliant by adding
an unsubscribe link. So leave that there. Coming down here, I do not
allow duplicate contacts, and I first go by email
and then by phone, leave the default there on. A miss call text backaC, I will check this off
because generally, if I'm going to do
miss call textback, I'll do that in workflow rather than here
in the settings. So when that's all done, we are done with business
profile settings, we can move on to the
My profile settings. Alright, coming into
the M profile settings, as you can see, I've
already uploaded my profile image here. This is going to work the same
way as your business logo. So again, upload your
profile image there. First name, last name, email. This is going to be
your personal email, basically the one
addressed to you, not necessarily your
business general inbox. This is going to be
your personal email. But it doesn't have to
be your personal Gmail. Make sure this is also
your name at your domain, and I'll show you again
how to set that all up if you don't have that setup
just yet. But put it there. Phone number, this is a phone number I want you
to make sure that you have access to in the event that you get locked
out of high level. Because if you log in a
high level on a new server, they're going to send a two
factor authentication code. If you put your business email that's hosted in high level here and they go to send the password
inside of high level, you can't log in to high
level to get the code. So put a phone number either at Google Voice or
your personal cell. This is not customer facing
if you don't want it to be. Put a phone number
that you have access to here so that if
you get locked out, you can send a code to the text, and you'll be able
to log in you'll get the code right here instead
of inside of high level. I can't tell you
how many times I've seen people make that mistake, and they get locked
in this endless loop, and they have to call support. It's a pain the butt. Just put a phone number you have
access to right here. Calendar, we're
going to leave this blank for now platform language, English, if you're going to
be operating in English. I do not put an email
signature on all of my outgoing messages.
You can, if you want. You can basically
check that and put a signature what you want there. Again, I don't do a
signature on my responses. Coming back up here,
your password, you should have
created your password when you logged in high
level the first time, but if you want to change
it, that's where this is. This is new. If you feel that your
account may have been compromised and
you want to change your password, you can
click this button. I'll sign out
everywhere except here. So that way, if you
feel your account got compromised or hacked, you can just kick everybody out, change your password, and you
can recover your account. To a sync here on email. Now, if you have a
Google workspace or you have a Gmail account
that you want to sync, you're using it
for your business. You want to sync
every of the messages going in and out of high level, you can hook that up here. Now, you'll click, Let's
say, for instance, we want Gmail,
we'll hit Connect. It's going to pop a
model where you can actually log into
your Google account. And what that's going
to do, it's going to sync your emails
going back and forth. So anything going into Google will end up in your
conversations tab, and anything that you write in your conversations
tab to people, you're going to
be able to see or anything anybody sends into Conversations tab will then
show up in your Gmail inbox. And you can do that with Gmail or you can do
that with outlook. I don't use either one of these because I have
everything going into my conversations tab
with the LC app on my phone. We'll go over that
in a later video. Now, coming down here
to calendar settings, this is where we want to actually integrate
our Google account, whether you're going
to use the email or not or your Apple
calendar, right, however you are going to check for conflicts when you're doing calls and book calls, discovery calls,
things like that. We're going to click Add New, and it's going to
pop a list of all of the calendars that
you can actually go ahead and you can sync. I work off my Google calendar. So I go on my Google calendar
here and it'll bring me to the integration screen
where I can actually update integrate
my Google account. It's going to pop the
Google Login screen, and then you're
going to go ahead. You're going to log in
your Google account just as you normally would
in this pop up. After you've done that,
you're going to see here that your Google account
is connected. Then we can go back
into my profile. Come down to calendar
settings and you'll see that your Google calendar
here is going to be synced and checking
for conflicts. The next thing that you
want to do is basically come down here in your
video conferencing, add your Zoom account in here. It's the same way. Come down either Microsoft Teams,
or you can have Zoom. I have my Zoom
account connected to a different sub account,
but it's the same thing. I pops a model, you'll
log in to Zoom, and then it's going to show
a little green checkmark. Add your video conferencing
because that's going to do. Anytime someone books a
call on your calendar, it's automatically
going to create a Zoom meeting for that person. And generate a link
for every new meeting. Alright, coming down here to the calendar configuration
with Linked calendar, what this is going to do,
this is going to make all of your events across calendars
visible to each other. So if you see a block
that's not available, you'll be able to log into
high level and see why. So we go to AD and we hit
our Google account here, and then you'll
basically just select the Google calendar, hit Save. And now what this
is going to do, is this is going to it's going to bring your
personal stuff onto your high level
calendar and bring your high level stuff onto your phone with your
Google account. That way, you'll be
able to see without flipping between calendars. If you come down here
for conflict calendars, this is also going
to be it's going to check this for conflicts. But if you do have
multiple shared calendars, like, for instance, birthdays, you've got one with your spouse. You can edit, and you're
going to actually add other calendars for
birthdays or forever. So this way, all of your
personal stuff is not going to be conflicting with your sales calendar
inside of High level. Coming down here
further where you have private mode
for sync events, this is essentially
if it's going to be more than you
working in your agency, if it's just you, I
would basically not check the Hyde event details because it's just going to be
you looking at everything. But if you've got a
VA and you've got a personal appointment you
don't want the VA seeing, you'll check that on, and
then in the calendar, they'll just say
blocked unavailable, but it won't actually say
why or what the event is. So leave that on if you want. If you want to check it off because it's just you,
that's fine, too. And then coming down
here in the home, stretch and do our availability. What this is going to do,
this is going to set up for your calendars for
your discovery calls when you start taking your
calls with your clients. So first thing that
we want to go ahead and do with your
meeting location, if you have Zoom connected, select Zoom as your
meeting location, and then you're
going to want to go ahead and leave it blank. And if you go do that,
Zoom is going to generate a new link for every new client and
for every new meeting, so you don't have this
one static link out there that anybody else
can join the meeting. If you want to go ahead
and you want to use Google Meet, you
can select it here, but because I think I
have my Google Meat set up to another account,
I can't use it here. So right now, I'm going to
leave it here as custom, and I'm just going to
type meeting link, so on any demonstrations,
you'll see it there. But again, on your account, you'll have full functionality. Time zone, you'll make sure
your time zone is correct. Now, when it comes here
to available hours, this is where you're going
to want to set your hours where you want to be able
to take calls from clients. And this is going to be assuming that there's nothing
on your calendar. Now, if you have something on your calendar on your
personal calendar, we've already synced it, so
it's going to block it off. So, for instance, for me, I generally have leave
Mondays for creative time, so I don't take
meetings on Mondays. So I uncheck Monday, but Tuesday, I don't want to take a meeting in
the very morning. So we'll make it 11:00
A.M. To 6:00 P.M. So now Tuesday 11 to 6:00 P.M. I can go ahead and I
can take a meeting. And if I want to copy this to everything at the
little Copy button, you'll see that updated
all of my days. So I can go ahead, and now
that's my availability. You cannot book me on a weekend. You cannot book me on a Monday, and you can't book
me before 11:00 A.M. My time during the week. So that is my availability there to go ahead and
take sales calls. You can set yours up. If
you want to work weekends, all you have to do is basically check the
days that you want to work and then make your
hours that are here. Now, with the add
time that's here, you can now add two
separate blocks of time. So let's say that you have
a standing appointment that you cannot break in
the middle of the day. And you want to go,
let's just say I make my calls 8:00 A.M. To 6:00 P.M. But I've got a
standing appointment. Every Tuesday I cannot
break at 12 to one, right, pick it right in
the middle of the day. What you can do is you can
actually come over to here, make your first block
11:55 A.M. So 8:00 A.M. To 11:55 A.M. Is
your first block, and you add your time here, that is 1:00 P.M. To 6:00 P.M. So now you've got 12
to one blocked on the day every single Tuesday, regardless of NAT or
whether or not that standing appointment is actually
on your Google calendar. So if you want to
have multiple a morning and an evening block
of time, you can do that. If you want to split
three or four or however many times
you want to add, there's really no limit. But generally, I found
that only having two blocks per day is the most
you're ever going to have. When you're done with
that, you'll go ahead and update availability. And now your user, people cannot book meetings with you outside
of your available hours. And once that's done,
you will be set up, and I will see you
in the next video.
8. GHL Account Setup: Domain Setup: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're
going to set up all of your domains
for your website, for your API links, your branded domains, and then
also your email services. This way, everything is up and everything's running
on your own domain. Now, before we get started, we jump into High level. What I want you to do is I
want you to actually open up your Cloudflare account and
log in on another screen. Now, if you don't
have you can also buy your domain directly through Cloudflare if you
don't have one. If not, you could
also have your switch your name servers over
to CloudFlare so that all of High level's
automatic stuff works. I'll actually leave
a link down to the description
below how to change your name servers on
your domain from name cheap over to Cloudflare so that you can follow
along in the video. I know I've made it
a couple of times. I'll link it down below. But basically, what I
want you to do is have your Cloudflare open on another window with your
domain added to Cloudflare, and that's where we're
going to begin this video. So once you've got this done, we're going to use
this nonsensical domain earshot dot
info that I have. And we're going to
start with inside of our company's sub account. We're going to start
with our website domain. First thing that we're
going to do is we go into settings, and then
when we come into settings, we can come down
here into domain, and then we're going to add
our connect to our domain. Now, what I'm going to do here, you're just
going to go ahead. You're going to add your
domain here, earshot dot info. Hit Continue. And what
this is going to do, you also want to add the WWW. Although most likely this is
not going to work because I've got this set up on
like 100 other things. Let's see. Let's hit Continue. It's going to provide find
the provider details. You'll see there the
finds the provider detail here is Cloudflare. If I go ahead and
hit authorized, it's going to open up a new tab since I'm already authenticated, it's going to do all of these
things here automatically. What it's going to do,
it's going to actually add the DNS records here. Surprise is actually
going to work. We're going to type
our nonsensical domain here, authorized there. Then we're going to
wait about 30 seconds for High level to go
and do its thing. After High level
has done its thing, it's going to give
you the screen. It's here. If you want to hook up your funnel or
your website to it, if you already have a website or a funnel in your account, you don't have to do this,
but if you want, also, you can also set up a
default four oh four page. Since we don't have
this just yet, I'm just going to go
proceed to finish. And what we've done is it's actually added both
of these together, and it's also redirecting
your WWW to your root domain. So now, regardless
of whether people type in your root or
they type in WWW, they're going to end
up on your website. Although we haven't hooked
this up to a website yet, we're going to do that
in a later video. Once that's done, we're
going to go ahead. We're going to set
up our email domain, so now everything is coming
out of earshot dot info. Come over here.
Still in settings. We're going to go over
here to email services. And then what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and create a dedicated domain. Now, on the domain here, what you want to
do if you already have a Google Workspace
setup, right? Let's say I had
earshot dot info here, set up on a Google Workspace. If I bring earshot dot
info into high level, I'm going to break
my Google workspace. You have a Google
Workspace setup and you've already done
the two way sync in the Gmail before when we
set up our personal profiles, do not put your regular
workspace email here. Instead what we want to
do is we want to create a subdomain, which I'm
going to call Pro. You can call it LC. You can call it mail. You
can call it email. Whatever you do,
just make sure it's unique to this
company's sub account. I'm just putting Pro
because I've used this for like 100
demonstrations. I don't know what's there
and what's not there yet. But we're going to go pro
dot earshot dot info. And what this is
going to do is going to send all of your emails, not on your Google
Workspace domain, ok? We don't want to
send emails from our main domain in the event
that that gets flagged. We don't want to
burn everything. So we create a subdomain here. We hit Add and verify. And if it's going to look very similar to the website domain, in that, it's going to
basically connect it. It's going to detect
that it's Cloudflare, and then it's going to
do the same kind of auto magical adding the
DNS records for us. Same thing. It's Cloudflare. It's going to open
up the new tab. It's going to show us all the things that
it wants to add. We're going to hit authorize. Now, when we're in
here, it's going to bring us to this
screen once we're done. And once you activate
on the domain, you're going to see this here. If you've been working
on high level before, you would have had to add
this actual DMark Pro, this last record, you'd
have to add that manually. But now they've
actually actually added it to the
automatic adding. So that extra step
that you had to do no longer have to do it. So what we're going
to do here is now everything here is orange. We're hit Verified domain. Now, there's a very real chance that not everything
is going to go green. If it doesn't all go
green, you just have to wait like five or 10
minutes. Do it again. But if you've waited enough, we hit verified domain, you're going to end up on this screen where
it's going to show the yellow, verify it now. You'll go see everything
here that's green, right? And then we go ahead, we
just hit Verify again. If it does not go
green right away. You can hit the
three dots up here and you can hit
Verified domain again, and you basically just keep
doing that until everything goes green because
the Internet's going to take some
time to propagate. But once we have
this screen here, we have our subdomain set up and we're ready to send emails to any email address with
this particular domain. So for instance,
if you remember, in the profile where we put
support at servipro.com, if we pretend that this
is servicepro.com, I don't own that
domain, but we go, support at service
proro is now active, and then dom atservicepro.com
would now be active. So it's so it automatically will accept any email address once you add the domain
into high level. And lastly, we're going to
want to set up our API domain so that all of our calendar
links have and lastly, we're going to want to
set up our API domain, so all of our calendar links and all of our funnel links and form links are going
to have domain on them and not high levels. So if we come back here,
we go into my profile. Sorry, go into Business profile. And when you come here
into Business profile, it's going to be we want
to put something like API, but I'm going to put API Pro. You would put api dot
earshot dot info, right, api dot your domain. And what we're gonna do here
at this point, add domain. And it has to be
the API has to be a different that can't be WWW. It can't be anything. It has
to be something different. So that's why I'm using API. Same thing. It's Cloudflare. We're going to
authorize that there, bring this into here, authorize it. Wait for it to do its thing. And then once everything
is authorized, you'll see this little
red trash can button. If you see this here with
the modified button, that means that it worked,
and if it's grade out, you're good to go on your API. And while we have
our domains open, I do want to add the
domain that we're going to use for
our course library and our customer portal. Again, we've got
everything open. It's going to take us a
couple extra seconds. So if we go back here, we're
going to go into sites. And then we're going to come
up here to client portal, and come down here to settings. Over here, you'll
see domain setup. So again, sites,
client portal settings come here in a domain setup. And what we're going
to do is we're going to add a custom domain for our customer portal where
our free course is going to be held and where
all of our clients can download their
receipts and see all their invoices
and stuff like that. I like to use portal,
dote shot dot. Info, portal dot earshot
dot info, we hit Ad Domain, and hopefully we'll do the exact same thing
with Cloudflare open, like all the other
rest of the stuff. Here it is authorized domain. Portal, you'll have the same
thing hit authorize here. And then once it updates
and everything authorizes, you'll see that it's
great out here again. You've got the Modify button, and then you'll be
good to go when your client portal
when you start using your client portal
with your course later on in this course. And with that said,
all of our kind of plumbing is all set up for
our high level account, and we can move on
to the next video.
9. GHL Account Setup: Phone Setup: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're
going to set up your LC phone and
your SMS systems, basically get your number
set up so that you can start texting your clients
and start using the LC phone system
inside of High level. So we're going to start here
on the dashboard screen, and the first thing that
we're going to do is we're going to come down
here into settings, and then we're going
to go ahead and we are going to go into phone numbers. And once you hit phone numbers, you're going to end up on
this particular screen. First thing that we're
going to have to do is we're have to go ahead
and get a number. We're going to click
the blue button here that says add a number, and we're going to
add a phone number. And what you want to do is
obviously get something, get a local number inside
of your own area code. And to do that, what you
can do is you go to Filter, and you're going to go a
provider for the number. And then what you want to
do is you want to search, let's say, for
instance, I'm a 267, and I'll go to the first
part of the number, and you want your capabilities
of all of these, right? SMS send pictures and then voice then I don't want
a toll free number. I want a local number.
Now we hit Apply. And you'll see that
now it's all of the 267 numbers around me that I can go
ahead and I can grab. Now, what you want to
do for me is I want to basically go ahead and grab something that I can
easily remember, like this 497 2778. Pretty simple, easy to remember. I'm gonna go there and grab
that, go proceed to buy. Once your purchase is there,
we're basically all set up. We're not going to do our
A two P registration yet. That's going to be
the next video. What we want to do now is
just basically configure the number so that it acts
like a normal phone number. On here, once we
have our number, we're going to hit
our three dots here, edit our configuration, and we're going to work
through the screen. If you want to name your number, we can just say, like,
right main phone number. If you want to have
different phone numbers and different spots
on the Internet, you can go ahead and do
that help track your calls. But what we're also going to do now is we're going
to set up our again, we're going to set up
our phone settings. First thing that I want
to do is I want to set up the whisper message because if you're going
to be using this, if you're going to forward calls from this number to any
number, if you pick this up, say on your personal cell phone, the whisper message will say, call from work, right? Call from high level account. Whatever you're going to
type in here, it's going to says basically it's just going to tell you that it's a call from your
high level account, so you can mentally place
it and know that it's a client calling and not
one of your friends. So we can say something
here, whisper message, call from high level account. And then if you want
to record the calls, you're just going to
check this on here, and it will say
this call will be recorded for quality purposes. If you want to have
your call recording on there, now your timeout. So your timeout here is going to be incoming
and outgoing. Basically, the timeout
is in seconds, and that's how long you want it to ring before
going to Voicemail. So if somebody's calling
me here, typically, I'll have 30 seconds
of calling before going to Voicemail
and then outgoing, I'll put 20 seconds
up there as well. So basically it's
going to try to call the number 20 times 20 seconds. If it can't connect,
it's just going to drop the call, and it's
going to go to failed. And if you want
only select users to basically have this
ring on their side, you can basically have
ring to select users, and then you can
select your user here. But since it's just you and
account working in solo, I generally just
leave that unchecked. And then also if you want to forward your calls to a number, you can put your phone
number in here to where you want things to
get called too, right? Put your cell phone
in here if you want your calls to ring
in your cell phone, or you can put another landline, a business number,
whatever you want to do. But for the sake of this video, we're not going to have
call forwarding on there. Once that's all set up,
we're going to go ahead. We're going to hit Save, and now our phone number is configured. In the next video,
we're going to start getting
everything set up for A two P. So I will see
you in that video.
10. GHL Account Setup: Snapshot Import: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm going
to show you how to import the snapshot
that I've built for you as a high level service
provider if you use my high level affiliate link to basically open your account. I'm going to set you up
with a snapshot that has everything that you need
to get up and running, including a website and
a book a call funnel, and then some basic
automations and also some contract templates. So if you've got this video, if you already got
the link from me, when you signed up
for high level, you should have gotten an email with a link to
import the snapshot. If you've gotten that
email and you've given me your relationship number
to go ahead and unlock it, if you've already gotten that
email and you've already given me the relationship
number to unlock it, now you can proceed
with the video. If you haven't, make sure that you get an
email from me with the link and then
provide me with your relationship number so
I can unlock the snapshot. But assuming that
you've done that, what you're going to want to
do if you want to open up, go to app go high level.com and log into your
high level account. If you're on a 297
or a 497 plan, make sure that you're logged
in at app dot G High level and not app dot whatever
your white label domain is. So what we're going
to do then is we're going to grab
the snapshot link. Open it here in a new tab. You're going to open the
link into a new tab, and you're going to
see a screen like this with a green Import button here. You're going to
click Import now, and that's going to import
it into your account. Once you've clicked
the green button, it's going to import
it into your account. Now what you have to do
is you have to bring that snapshot and load it
into your own account. To go ahead and do
that, you basically go into up the
agency level, right? You're going to hit
this little hit this up here and go all the
way up to your agency level, then run into subaccounts. Find your company's subaccount
here from the three. It shouldn't be too hard. And then what you're
going to do is you're going to
go manage client. Or you can just click the name of the sub
account as well. You'll come into
this screen here, and then up in Actions, you'll go to Load Snapshot. Then once you see this modal
pop, you come down here, hit GHL and you'll see
the GHL service provider. If you go ahead, click
that and then hit Proceed, it's going to add all
of the custom fields, all of everything that I've
built here in the snapshot. You want to load it
all, Hit Proceed. It's going to check
for conflicts. If there are no conflicts
detected and you hit Proceed, it's going to load
into your account. Now, I've already pre loaded it to do the next
couple of videos. So I'm not going to
hit the button here, but once you hit Proceed, you'll you'll get a notification about 5 minutes later
that everything is done. When you see all of the stuff populated into your account, you'll be ready to move on to the next video where we
start setting everything up.
11. GHL Account Setup: Custom Values: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, what we're
going to be doing is we're going to be setting
up the custom values inside of the high level service
provider snapshot that I provided to you as a high
level affiliate bonus. Now, we're going
to start here in the dashboard and to
access to custom values. We're going to come
right down here to the left, hit settings. You'll find custom values
here on the left side. And you're going to see
all of the custom values that come with a snapshot
right over here. Now, I'm going to run
down these fairly quickly because hopefully you know how
to update at custom value, but I'm going to show
you what goes in each one to make sure that everything works throughout the snapshot when basically,
people click on stuff. And once we're into
the custom values, what we're going to do is, the first thing we're going
to do is we're going to skip over the logo,
skip over the brand. We're going to come down to kind of go through
the bottoms here, and then we'll come back and do the pictures that are here. So, number one, your
marketing email address. This is really just going to be the email address that you want your customer seeing on all of your marketing
material, right? We want to have something
here that's going to be a little bit more personable than just
support at business.com. So, for instance, I'm going
to go here edit custom Value. I'm going to put Dum
at servicpro.com. Again, servicpro.com,
I do not own, but you want to have your name atdomain.com. So we're
going to hit Update. And that is the process for
updating a custom value. We're going to repeat this
process all the way down. I'm going to do it off camera and come back and tell you what to put in each of
these custom values. All right, so it took
me about 5 minutes to get everything
here filled out, and this is basically how
yours should be looking, except we should be using your social media handles
and your domain. So for the marketing address, so for the marketing
email address, again, we have your name atdomain.com. For the booking page, it's going to be
youdmain slash Consol. That's where the Book and call funnel that
I've built for you, I put it there on console, and then same thing with
the request pending. It's going to yourdmainlash
Console pending. Your free course opt in
page that I built for you, I've put it at slash free. So you want to put
your domain FRE. And then for all of
your social links, your Facebook
profile, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, you don't have to have all of those different social handles, but just put your links to all of your social handles
in those as well. Coming down here, we've
got our client portal. If you remember from
the domain video, we set that up, so
you put your portal dotdmain.com there. Your helpdesk Link, I've built a basic helpdsk where your customers and
clients can come in, submit tickets and
help requests. That's going to be at
your domain slash HELP. Privacy Policy in terms
of service are at slash Privacy and then
slash TERMS respectively. So it's going to take you about 5 minutes to go through
and set these all up. But once you get
these all set up, we're going to go ahead
and we're going to set up our pictures here. To do that, the first
thing that we're going to have to do is go into
the media library, which if we go back, we come here where it
says media storage, we open media storage, and what we're going to
do is we're going to upload a picture of us and then pictures of our logo on both a light and
a dark background. And what I mean by
having a light and a dark background logo is, as you can see here on
the lead Vortex logo, it's black lettering
on a white background, then it's white lettering
on a black background. And basically, you're going
to use whichever version of the logo on whichever version of a background that you have. But you don't want to
have white and black. You want to have basically
a clear image like this. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take the
white version and the black version, upload
both of them there. And that's going to be the logos that I'm going to put
in those custom values. The last one here is going
to be a picture of you, and I want to pull up
an example image of how the websites or the pages are built so it looks
right on your page. Now, as far as a picture of you, I'm using this guy here stock image as a good
representative example. So you want to have
something here, it's going to be nine by 16, a vertical shot, and you don't
want any background on it. So use your Canva Pro, remove the background
from a shot, and you got to stand
there from the waist up in a vertical orientation. That's how I've
built all the pages. When we get into the websites, you'll see how this is going to fit in the design
of those pages. So we're going to upload
this particular image here. Now that we've got
our images up here, what we want to do is
we want to go ahead and click the three
dots over the image. We're going to it Get Link, and that's going to copy
the link to our clipboard. Then we're going to go
back into settings, go back into custom values. And then we're going to
take the your picture because we have
the picture here, and we're just going
to edit custom value, and we're going to put
the link right there. Now that custom value is
going to pull that picture. So what we're going to do now is going to do that
for the other two, and we will be done
with custom values. And once that's done, our custom values
are going to be set, and we're ready to move
to the next video where we continue setting
up our snapshot.
12. GHL Account Setup: Website Homepage: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going to set up your website homepage. So now you have a spot online that's a nice
little piece of real estate that
you can send people to as a high level
service provider. Now, I'm here on
the dashboard here, and the first thing that we
want to do is we want to go over here to the left
side, which is sites. And we want to
activate the website that came with the snapshot. So if you go to sites, we
come over here to websites. You'll see GHL Service
Provider website. We're going to click
on that. That's going to bring us up to the screen, and you'll see that it only
has a couple of pages. There isn't a whole
lot that you need here. We've got a home page. We've got a portfolio
slash ShowcagePage, where you can put
some of your content. The basic helpdesk page, basically a page
outlining your process. So if people want to
see how you work, they can see your process and then a privacy policy
and a terms of service. First thing that we're
going to do here is we're going to go here
into these settings, and we're going to hook up
the domain to the website, so now the website is active. So, if you remember from
the previous video, we hooked up your
website domain. We want to put everything
here on the root because the WWW will redirect. And if you do it wrong, high
level will let you know. For instance, we'll set up
the WWW if we hit Save. If you do it wrong,
you're going to see this nice little
blue bar up here that says This domain
is redirected. So what we're gonna do then is we're going to go to settings, and then we're going to
come over here to earshot. We're going to set up
we're going to set up the actual domain,
hit the save button. And then when we have
it correct, that blue bar goes away. Now our website is
just about active. What we have to do now is set up the homepage of the domain to set up the homepage
of the website. To do that, we go
back into settings. We come down here into domains, and then we go to the root
domain that we just set up. We go to Edit, and then we
go and we put in homepage, and then we go there, we put in homepage there, and
then we get safe. What this is going to do
now now if somebody goes into somebody goes
to your domain, it's going to show up the
homepage of your website. If you see something that
looks just like this, this means that
you did it right. And as you can see, from
the custom value video, this is why I had you take
a vertical shot waist up. So this is how that website
is designed around. Now, let's go customize
this website. Okay, so back to the homepage, right back to the
website settings, you'll notice that it has in this kind of teal
dark teal color. First thing that we
want to do to customize the colors of our website
to go for our brand. I'm going to jump around a
little bit, so forgive me, but I want to show you
kind of where everything's pulling from so you
know how to adjust it. Now, if we go ahead here and we open up the website Builder, if you know how to use
the website Builder, basically just select
the section here and you'll see the background color over here for this header. Now, once we're in
the website Builder, you'll see that we
have the section here. You basically just click
and select the section, and you'll see the
background color for the section over here. Now, if this is a circle, you are on the old
color Builder. Now, the time I'm filming
this in about 60 days, high level is going to move
to their new color Builder. So what I did is I built everything in the
new color Builder. We have to enable that first before we can start
working this. So again, if you see these
things here as circles, you're on the old Builder. To enable the new
one, we have to go back, go into settings. Come all the way down here. You'll see where it
says labs here on the left side. Click Labs. And then if you're going to
be a high level service pro, you want to enable everything here in labs because
you want to work in all of the Beta features so you
can become proficient in them before working
them with clients. So the time zone update, we want to enable that enable the multiple Facebook pages. Yes. And then also the new color picker for funnels and websites. We want to update that. Sorry, I was 92 days
from when it goes live. And also, we want to do I don't really do a whole
lot of work in WhatsApp, so I leave that one unchecked. But now, if we go
back to the website, we open up the editor, and then you come here
into the website, you'll see that
it's now a square. So if you see squares here, you're on the new color picker. If you see circles, you're
on the old color picker. The reason why I bring this out, if you open up the
background color, now, if you open this up, you'll now see where brand
colors are here. You see brand colors added yet. First thing that
we want to do is also we're going to
create a brand board, so we're going to
have these colors throughout all of our website.
So hit the Get Started. This is going to bring us
over here to brand booards. First thing we want to do is we want to create a brandboard. Now, they give you some
color palettes here. I use the lagoon to
make the template. Actually, for the
sake of this video, let's go ahead and
let's go start from blank cause you'll probably
have your own logo. You probably already have
your own color palette. If not, you can
use one of theirs. We're going to hit
Continue, and we're going to create your logos. We're going to
upload a logo one, same thing that we have here. Upload your logo
here is logo two. These don't actually
pull from anywhere. I just put them there because I don't like looking
at the stock logos. But where this really
is going to happen here is your colors.
You go to your colors. And you're going to see I use a three color palette for most of my builds,
for this build here. So we are going to go we're
going to use a dark purple. We're going to use
a regular purple, and then we're going to use
a kind of a blurpl for this. Now, this helps if you know your hex codes for your colors. And again, this is where that
Canva Pro subscription is going to come in
because Canva Pro is going to give
you the hex codes, which are basically this
little hash tag, whatever. So for the dark purple,
it's the 22622. For the purple, I
just have these memorized because these are what I use for all my other stuff. I'm just going to empty these
here and you'll see them change over here on
the brand board. Okay. Now, if all of your brand
colors are dark like this, I would recommend
making one, like, really, really
light pastel color. So, for instance, we're
going to go light purple. So we go to here and
we're going to go into basically go from there and then make it
really, really light. Kind of use the color dragger to make that light
one over there. Now we're going to
save the board, and these are actually
all of our colors. If you want to go ahead and pick your own fonts, that's fine. I use the Fiallo one
for the template. That's the type that I have
there. So we'll save that. Now if we come back,
we go back into sites and we go
into the websites, and we go into the
service provider website here, open up the editor. And now you'll be able to change the colors to your brand colors, no matter where you
are in the Builder. So, for instance, we
have this back here. We click this. You'll see all
the brand colors are here. If you want to go with
the really dark purple, we can make it dark purple. If we come into the button,
you'll see the color. You'll be able to
bring that same color no matter where you see it. So come down here, the background, we've
got that dark purple. We can change that, and you'll notice with a couple of clicks, I'm changing the entire color of this entire website in
a couple of seconds. Anywhere you see
the darkest color, use the darkest color.
You'll see this one here. No. For words, you'll you'll have to highlight the
actual words themselves, and then you'll see the square, and you can change
it through there. Coming down through here, again, we just want to go
ahead and just change all of the colors to fit your brand color.
Okay, and there we go. Now we've actually got a brand new color scheme on our website. When you're done with that,
you're going to go ahead. You're going to hit
publish. And now it's a global section
because I have this header, and I've got the footer
across all of your pages. So you're going to go ahead,
you're gonna hit Save. When you hit Save, it's going to show you the SEO meta data. Now, the content, what
I do is I just have location name is
just going to be your business name as the
title of the website. For the description, write a quick description that's
probably 20 words or so. You want to do something
here that's going to be for all your high level needs. This is basically
just going to be the little blurb that shows
up when somebody Googles you. So put that there.
Keywords. I've got basically just going to
come up as your name. It's also going to come up
here as your name if you want to if you want to put your name here as well. So that way, when somebody
Googles you versus your business name, you're
going to pop up as well. When you're done there,
hit SEO Metadata, update that, then
publish the page. Now, once that's done, let's walk through this
particular homepage here. But before we do that, I actually see that
there's a button here. We're going to have to make the background work
a little bit better. There should be a
button right down here. Now, you'll see, we've
got another green there. Just make sure that
you've got all of the same colors
that are here. Now, once we've got all
the colors updated, what we want to do is we just want to go through
and change the copy. Again, this is going to
be a headline about you. Make a quick three to five
word headline about you. You want this to be a result that you deliver
to your customers. Something like
You're fast, right? Put some copy in this. Use something like hat GPT, if you want a quick
headline about your work, but you want to speak
to a result that you're going to deliver
to your clients. And then I click
tagline here, right, specializing in high level calendars or
something like that. So talk about your
work and then be a little bit more descriptive about your work in the
subheadline itself. And then, right here, I've
given you here, right, a quick three to five
sentence paragraph about what you do for your clients and explain
the areas you serve, right, what types of
work that you do. And if there's anything that's about the centerpiece
of your process, right? Do you guarantee your
work for 30 days? Do you know, whatever you do? That's going to be in there,
and then another small blurb about the type of people
that you work with. If you specialize with med spas, say that you work
specifically with med spas in here as well. Now, when you come down
here to this button, you want to make sure you click the button that
says Get started. This is going to leave
This is going to lead to your booking page where people can book an
appointment with you. So what you're
going to do now is you want to make sure that
when it comes down here, it says website URL, and it goes you have this custom value here for your discovery call booking page. Make sure that that's there, or that button will not work. Coming down the
page, if you have different snapshots that
you have for sale or different services that
you have productized, these are really good
ways to make quick money, is to either sell something like a snapshot that's already built in or do something that's
a quick ATP approval, something that you
can bang out really quick for a set price. Feature those services or
products here on this page. I would also feature
your lead magnet, your free course in one of
these slots here as well, and then just make
sure that this button goes to the page or the URL that sells it. That's how you're
going to do that there. Coming down here, you want
to tell your story, right? Sum up your story in
five words or less. Tell three paragraph
story about how you got into this and who you help and kind of just
kind of who you are. Again, this is just going to humanize you a little bit
better with your clients. And now coming down the page, I've left spots for you to
put your YouTube videos. If you've got three
super helpful pieces of content that are
maybe master tutorials, big pillar pieces of
content, link them here. Have the video, go to YouTube, and then just put the
YouTube URL there and then write a little blurb about
that particular video. Coming down if you have
testimonials, put them here. If you're new and you don't
have testimonials just yet, you can click this here to
where it has the green, and you'll see element
name is OB test 12. That's just a code
for testimonials. You can just go Rename
it testimonials. What you can do here
is you can just hide this until you
get testimonials. Coming over to here,
come up here to layers. Go to page. You'll see the testimonial section
that's right here. You're going to hit the three dots and you're
going to hit Hide. Now that's going to hide
until you get testimonials. Once you get testimonials, you can unhide that and add
them on that page there. Then here on the bottom is
going to be your footer. This is where
people can see your help desk, your privacy policy, your terms, all your information here to
see that you're legit. This is all going to populate based on your business profile. So if you fill that
out correctly, all your information
will be on the bottom. It's a link here
to book a consult, and it's also going to pull
in your logo down here, as well as all your social
media handles here. If, for instance, you
do not have a LinkedIn, you can just go ahead over
here, just hit the trash can. It will get rid of the
LinkedIn profile right there. So again, just have the social media
handles that you do have down here in the middle. When you're done customizing this page and writing
all this copy, go ahead, hit Publish. We're to save. You'll see everything here
has been updated. It's pulling in your logo. If we come all the way
down here to the bottom, you'll see it's
pulling your logo, and it's pulling all of
the information that we put into your business profile. Now, likewise, if you did
the custom values correctly, we're going to open these
all up in new tabs. These are going to open
to the right pages. I'm going to open these
all up here in new tabs. Now, if we open these
all up in new tabs, your basic help desk is going to be here that we prepopulated. You'll see that we didn't
even edit this page yet, and it's already the
correct color of purple. You come over to here, we've
got our privacy policy, and then we've got all
of our social handles here pull correctly, as well. Once the homepage is done, we can move on to
the next video where we'll talk about the site
header and the site footer.
13. GHL Account Setup: Headers & Footers: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm
going to show you how to customize the site
header and footer. That way you can keep everything consistent across all
of your web pages. Now, the first thing
we're going to do here is to open up our
homepage again, although it doesn't
matter what page of your website you
start editing from. But this is what I've built for you across all of your pages. So inside of this header, and then we've also got
the footer at the bottom. These are what's called
global sections. So all you have to do
is basically update on one side and then it'll go
across the rest of your pages. Let's start up here
with the header. The first off the major
Let's talk button here. This is going right
to your booking page if you click on the button, come down to website URL, and you'll see here
it has the website URL custom value there. If you did that right
from the other video, this will link right
to your booking page, although we have not
activated it yet. We're going to do that
in a later video. Next thing here is the navigation
menu I put here up top. You already saw that
it pulls in your logo. But these ones here, you'll
see that we actually have some of that green left. Then you'll see the
green over here. Let's make that purple.
So now they're purple. But to update these
navigation menus, you come down here to where it has right here, the menu items. What I have is it's a
very simple menu for you. I've got the homepage,
which goes to the homepage, and then I've got the showcase, which goes to the portfolio
and showcase page. And then I've got the process which goes to the process page. Again, super simple menu that people can kind of click
around and then there's a button that drives
people to a sales call. If you want to add to it, you're going to add
to it right there. Now the footer on the bottom is where things get a little
bit more important. First off, in the footer,
I have your address, email, phone number, and
then your location name. This is basically all
SEO stuff with Google. They check the footer of
everything to see your name, address, phone number.
That's all there. If you don't want to put
your phone number on there, you can just go ahead
and delete that. That's fine. And then I've also got your link
to your help desk, your privacy policy, and
your terms of service. In a later video, I'll show you how to
actually create those two. But that stuff there is linked. All you got to do
is double click it, and then you'll see
that it's linked using that custom value
over there as well. So again, if you did the
custom values correctly, those links will work. Book a console. Same
thing on the bottom here. I've used the booking
page, Custom Value. So if you did that, that's
also going to be active. It's going to pull
your logo here. And then on your social
menu, come down here. You'll be able to hit the edit. But again, it's pulling
from a custom value, so there's nothing really
for you to do there. All you have to do is if you want to change the
order of these, you can click and drag them, however you want to
put them there or just delete the ones
that you don't have. But that set that's the way that there is going
to be set up. It's a simple footer that has all the
links that you need, and it's also going to help
people navigate your site. Now, if you make
a change to this and you want to bring this
over to your funnels, this is a global section for
this particular website. So what we're going to do if you want to bring this,
for instance, we've gotten rid of the
LinkedIn over here, and we've changed the
order of these icons. If you want to keep
this consistent, what we're gonna do is we're going to hit the save button, and we're gonna
make this a section template. So now we can go. Footer, I usually use V two, V three, right every time I make a change, I'll
add to the version. A, Footer version two, and
we're gonna add this over to templates. So if we get save. Once that saves, it's now going to be if you go
into add elements, you'll see section templates, you'll see footer V two. Let me show you why that's
going to be useful. Come back over here, and you can do the same thing
with the header as well. Alright, I'm just going to
show you here with the footer. Come back and we go
into our funnels, we want to add our new footer to our discovery call and
our free course funnel. Real quick, I'm
going to activate these the way that
you should be doing. Put them on the base, right? The base domain. We go
there. Come back here. And then, again, you
just want to put them on the base domain settings. So now all of your links and all of your footers
are going to work. So now, friend, let's go to
our discovery call funnel. I'll do more of a deeper dive in a different video on
this particular funnel. But to show you what
we're working with here. So now we come on
the bottom and let's say that we want to use
our new footer, right? We've got all the
green here again. So what we're gonna do
is we're going to add the element, go to the template, and we've got our second footer if we go ahead and drag it, the purple's already there, and then we can go
ahead and we can just delete the green. However, this is no longer
global. We want to go ahead. We want to save it, make it. Footer V two, then we go ahead, we make it a global
section, so it is purple. So now if you come in
to the next page, Oop. We want to save it, publish
it, do everything first. So we come to the second page. Coming all the way
here on the bottom, you'll see that this
is the regular footer. It's not V two. So what we're going to do
is we're going to delete that and then hit
the plus again, except now we're
going to go into global sections, and
you see the V two. Bring it down here
to the bottom, and now we've got
our purple footer down here on the
bottom, hit Publish. And now these two
pages are linked. So once you get your header, you get your footer dialed in, it's more the footer than
the header on the funnels, I don't have the big menu
because we want to keep people moving towards
the same goal. But really, once you have
your footers dialed in, create that template and then add it to those two
funnels so that way, everything is consistent
across all your pages. Once you do that, I'll see
you in the next video.
14. GHL Account Setup: Privacy Policy & ToS: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going to be talking about the
privacy policy and the terms of service pages for your service
provider website. However, I'm going to
be using a video that I already made on this topic
with my SAS website. So going through, I'm going
to roll the video here in a second showing you how to
do it with the SAS website, but just know that the
process is exactly the same for your service
provider website. Except there's two
key differences. Number one, the video
you're about to see has an affiliate agreement and an
end user license agreement. You do not need those to become a high level
service provider. And also, the privacy policy here I have created a
boilerplate privacy policy here. In the video You're About
to C. I did not do this. This is basic A for
a service provider. What's going on here. So this is already going to be
done for the most part, so you can kind of skip the
privacy policy if you want. And then also and then
with the terms of service, the page is going to look
a little bit different. But essentially, I've given
you the same that I've given you in the video before. So I'm going to roll
that video now. Good luck, and I will
see you and leave all the links of
resources down below. Hey, what's up, everyone?
Welcome back to the program. In this video, we're going
to talk about some of the most boring pages
on your SAS website, but they're also the pages that are going to get
you out of a jam and really help you with payment processors and
disputes later on. So we really can't neglect them, but it is kind of boring, but I've got two free tools for you that are
going to help you get through this relatively quickly and relatively
painlessly. I am talking about
the privacy policy, terms of service, end
user license agreement, and the affiliate
agreement pages. These are the things
privacy and terms are an absolute minimum end user and affiliate
agreement are nice to have. Not necessarily must haves,
but they're nice to haves. Let's start over here
with the privacy policy. Now, the privacy policy in here, what I've done for you
is I've actually given you a Loramipsum document here, so it kind of looks right, but I did not actually
write it for you. The reason being is that I don't I don't
know your business. I don't want to open
myself up to liability, telling you what I'm
going to do with your customer's information. And I really want you
to go through and write these terms for you
and your business. However, what I've done is I've given you the
page in the container. Basically just copy and paste your privacy policy
into once you write it. If you already have one, great. Copy and paste it, you can be passed this video in 32 seconds. If you don't have a
privacy policy and you don't want to pay a lawyer
to go ahead and write one, you can actually go
to term dot IO or eforms.com to have
these written for you. I'll put links below this
video for both of them. But basically, it makes
it really, really simple. I actually have some
YouTube videos on this. If you want to go I'll
actually link the one down below or actually
walk you through this particular how to do this
because I've already done this. I'm not going to do
that again in a video. But basically, you can
do your privacy policy, your terms and conditions, your end user license
agreement all through termLY. You sign in, you
create a free account, and they ask you questions
about your business, and then it spits out basically an HTML doc that you can actually put your
HTML over here. Basically, you're
to double click, hit Open Code Editor and
paste the HTML they give you, or you can copy and paste a plain text and
put it over here. Totally up to you,
but the cleaner, the cleaner way is going
to be go with HTML. Other one here, EFMsT
one here gives you, I think it spits
out a doc or a PDF. It's been a while
since I've done these. But also, same thing
if you want to go you want to do
a privacy policy. They've got a bunch
of privacy policy templates that you can go ahead and use E
Forms is not free. E Forms is 39 bucks a month, but they do have a
seven day free trial. So you know what I did? I did everything
in seven days and canceled my account. But
you didn't hear that here. So, again, you can
use these two here to go ahead and do
your privacy policy. Basically your privacy
policy is how you're going to handle your
customer's information, and basically says
whether you're going to be using tracking cookies, using ad cookies, and
things like that. That's just a
disclosure of that. It gives them all information
is how to contact you to talk about what data you have or if you want you to
delete their data. The privacy policy handles
all of those questions. Next one we're going to
here is terms of service. The terms of service page is basically this is your terms of doing business with
your customers. So in this page, again, a lot of these a lot of these generators are going
to prompt you questions. You're going to answer them
based on what you're doing. But basically, this is used to say what your refund
policies are, what your money back
guarantee policies are. They limit your liability
if you're doing any kind of education especially because
you're serving businesses, they limit your liability
in terms of what money making claims that you might make,
things like that. And then your terms
of service could also they basically
give you an out if you want to stop
working with somebody. They clearly define
those terms and when you can sever a contract or not and the terms of
using your software. That's generally what
this is supposed to do. So your privacy policy talks about the data that
you're going to collect. This is the privacy policy, you're also going to
use that for A two P, but the privacy policy is for
the data that you collect. The terms of service is the terms of you working
with the customer. That's how those two
documents there will differ. And then the last one
that we use here, the end user license
agreement Again, this is not a must have.
This is a nice to have. But if you're doing software,
you're going to want to have to have an end
user license agreement. Basically, you're
telling the customer how they're allowed
to use the software. Basically explicitly tell them
that they can't resell it, explicitly tell them
essentially again, what they can and cannot
do with the software. And these two tools over here, termle EFms will ask you questions about it
what you want to do, yes or no, and they're
going to write something accordingly
through there. And then your
affiliate agreement is the last one we want to talk about this
one real quick. Now, your affiliate agreement is kind of like your
terms of service, but this is your terms of doing business with your affiliates. This is where you set
the rules of promotion. This is where you
tell your affiliates, if they ever have a
dispute with you, what's the maximum amount of
your liability in a dispute, telling them the
rules of the program, what they can and cannot do to promote your program,
things like that. And I have not found
in termly or E forms, I have not found an affiliate agreement
template generator. If you have one, go
in the community. Go post it because I would love to use it in other videos. So what I did here for you is I've said to create your
affiliate agreement, find a company that you
promote and you love promoting and mimic their
affiliate agreement. Because they're going to
have a lot of a lot of affiliate agreement terms are going to be pretty
much universal. But again, I don't want
to write one for you. So go ahead, find one, mimic it, read their
affiliate agreement. It'll also give you a good idea as to what goes into it and what really should be outlined in one so that you're on the
level and you're legit. But that's going to be one
so you can copy and paste, take a part of a part
sounds good you like or something that you don't
like, don't include it. But basically create your
own affiliate agreement through this based off again, mimic an affiliate agreement of a reputable company that
you enjoy promoting, and you're going to have
something that is 80% passable. If you really want to keep
things super, super tight, you can always hire a lawyer
to hire one to write one. But if you're starting
out, you might not necessarily have the funds
because I think a lawyer will charge 501,000 bucks to
write a document like this. So when I was starting out, I didn't have
that kind of money, so I went and I actually
mimicked a bunch of other companies to write
my affiliate agreements. So that's all I have here
for the compliance pages. And the next video.
I'll see you. I think we're going to go
over the order form next. I'm not sure which one
I want to film next. But yeah, I will see
you in the next video.
15. GHL Account Setup: Book A Call Automations: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going to be talking about all
of the automations that go along with your book
a call calendar funnel. So we're going to start
here in the dashboard, and we're going to go over
here on the left side to where it says automation. Now, when you get
into the automations, you'll see that I've
put all the automations I built for you into folders, and they all have these numbers. These numbers are basically the order of what your lead is going to flow through them. So somebody who just comes across you is either
going to be from the certified Admin or they're going to download
your free course. And then once they soak in
your content for a while, they're going to go
book a call with you. Ideally, you're
going to sell them, and you're going to
send them an invoice. And then if they ever have after sale questions, they're going
to go to the help desk. So that's how all of my if you ever seen anything numbered, that's the order that the lead is going to
flow through them. So we're going to start here at Discovery Call automations. And again, it starts the
numbers are the same way. So someone's going to
book a new appointment. We're going to confirm
the appointment. If they show, they don't
show where they cancel, basically the three outcomes
that can happen here. This is how we're going to go ahead and we're going
to walk through this. Let's start with the new
appointment request. Now, every time I
go into a workflow, I go right into the
Settings tab here upfront. And what this does,
and I've done this for all of your
automations here, I've allowed them re entry so people can book more
than one appointment. And then also the
sender details, it's going to pull
your name as the user, it's also going to pull
the email of the location. So it's going to be
support at whatever. If you want to change this, you can just basically type it. Type it out there, and
that's going to be the email address that
this all here comes from. But I put the location
there as a fail safe for you in case
you forget to do this. Now, coming back to the Builder, this discovery call
requested trigger it should be listening to
the free consultation, and then it has the new status. So this is the request
that is not confirmed. If you remember from
the calendar video, I showed you I had that
unchecked for auto confirm. If it's unchecked, anytime they request is gonna fall
in this new category. So what that's gonna do,
it's gonna assign it to you. You want to make sure
that you go ahead, select your name down here so that it assigns
the contact to you. Hit the Save action there. Then what this is also
going to do if you have any opt in workflows. If you have your
initial reach out, if it's a certified
lead or if you have anything with
your free course, you've got some long follow up. You want to make sure that
you're removing them from those long follow up
lead nurture sequences. So right now, it's
going to take them off that initial
reach outt sequence, which again, we'll go over
in a different video. This will then pop
two notifications. This will take the
internal notification, which you'll see
in the top right. You'll also see it in
your lead connector app, where you'll see new discovery
call appointment requests. I'll say you've got
a new appointment from person's name
and their email. Go review it or you can go
check to see the slot of the day they requested and
then confirm it or not. It's also going to go ahead.
It's going to text you. So even if you don't have
your lead connector open, you'll get a text
that says, Hey, you've got a new
appointment booked. For this person at this
time, go review it. It's going to add them
into the pipeline, which we're going to go
over in a different video. But again, just know it's
going to add them to your pipeline so you can keep
tracking all your metrics. And it's also going to text and email the client
itself themselves. So the person that booked
the appointment is also going to get a text that
says, Hey, it's Dom. Thanks for your meeting
request. I'm going to double check my schedule
and get back to you. If you want to change this copy, you can type it
here and hit Save. And then it's also going
to email them as well. It's going to say, Hey,
you're penciled in. And it's basically just saying, I'm 99% sure this
time's gonna work. Let me just double
check and confirm you'll get another
email when I do. And again, if you want
to change this copy, feel free to go ahead
and then just hit safe. When you're done making updates, hit the blue save up here. And you're set. And
once you've done that, if you're ready
for it to go live, just make sure that you come over to here and you flip it to publish and you'll see it go
green when it's published. If it's draft, it's
not going to fire. Now, number two, when you actually confirm
the appointment, this is what's going to happen. It comes over here,
meeting confirmed. Listening to the
free consultation, but now your status
here is confirmed. So this is you go in, you
hit the confirmed button. It's going to fire this off now. It's going to move
them in the pipeline. Again, we'll talk about
that in another video. It's going to remove them
from the initial reach out. This is if you flip that on. So if you wanted to, so if you wanted to auto
confirm everything, I built this in here
as a fail safe. So it's just going
to remove them from the cold reach
out automations. Then it's going to
email them that they're confirmed, telling
them their time. Again, if you want to
change this copy, go ahead. It's going to
remind them one day before and then 1 hour before, and then 5 minutes before. And it's going to give them the meeting link every single time. So, again, if you want
to change the copy, change the links in
there, that's fine. When that's done, we're going
to hit publish over here, and then we're going to
hit Save. Come back here. Now, if they show up and you
want to mark them as showed, you can either move
them in the pipeline or update the appointment
to show either way, and it's gonna move them
and update the status. It's a really simple a
really simple workflow. It's just gonna keep
marking them as showed. Last one down here, if they know show, what this
is going to do. If somebody knows
shows you, you can either drag them
in the pipeline to the no show or you can just mark the appointment as
no show in your app. Either one is going to
trigger this automation. It's going to update
them in the pipeline, and then it's gonna
fire off a quick text that says, Hey, I missed you. Let's get something
on the books, reschedule your meeting
here with a link, and it's also going to
send them a text there. So it's a text and an
email to the person who, so it's a text and an email to the person who knows
showed their appointment. And then going to wait 3
hours to see if they replied, and then just see basically
if they rescheduled. And if they didn't
reschedule and I didn't respond, it's
going to ask them again. And if they don't respond,
if they ghost you twice, they're probably not
going to show up, so it just marks them as lost. That's how that particular
workflow is going to work. Publish it, save it. And then the last one here, if somebody cancels an
appointment on you, if they cancel it,
it sends a quick, why did you cancel email? Although you'd want to
write that one and say, Hey, look, I saw
that you canceled. Can we get something in the
books? Is there a reason why? Just let me know. You're going to have to write an email here. When you've written
that email, publish. And then you'll be
good to go with your discovery call
automations and reminders. And when you're done
with that, you're ready to move to the next video.
16. GHL Account Setup: Book A Call Funnel: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm going to show you how to set up the basic Book of Call funnel
that I built for you inside the snapshot. So I'm going to start inside
here at the dashboard, and basically the centerpiece of the Book of call funnel is
going to be the calendar, so we're not going to start
in the funnel screen. We're going to start
in the calendar screen here and we're going
to set that up first. So if you go to calendars and then you go to
calendar settings, you'll see the free consultation calendar that is
set up right here, but you'll see right now
the status is in draft. So the first thing we're
going to do is click the three dots and set it
to activate the calendar. Now, once a calendar is active, it's able to be embedded
into A into a page, and it's also going to show when a customer goes and sees it. But before we actually
go and set up the calendar and
publish the funnel, we want to go and edit, and I want to walk
through the settings that I gave for you and let you know where you can tweak them for your own availability. So once you come into
the setting screen, the basic meeting details, if you want to put your
logo here on the calendar, you can. I did not. I find that it makes
no difference putting your logo because the logos already going to
be on the webpage. Anyway, calendar name. I call it a free
consultation because that's what the customers and clients are going
to want to see. If you want to change
the calendar name, something that they're
going to see on the page, sit sit with Dom for 30 minutes. Again, name it
whatever you want, but know that this is going
to be customer facing. Same thing with the description. This is going to show on
the page just under the This is going to show on the page just
under the calendar title. Coming down here, custom URL, do not worry about this at all. Meeting invite title, this
is what's going to show up on yours and the
customer's Google calendars. So I put their name
and your name, and I put that little free
consult there so they know exactly who they're
meeting and for what for? Coming down, I have it set
is a Round Robin calendar, because if you wanted
to add it via, you wanted to scale
up and add somebody, you can just add them
to this calendar without making
really any changes. But since it's just you, you just have to select yourself, add yourself as a
team member to here, and then optimize for
availability equal distribution, doesn't matter
because there's only going to be one person
on the calendar. So again, add your person here. And then here on your
meeting location, the custom is the default. If you remember from
setting up the profile, I had it set up there
with meeting link. It's going to pull
that meeting link in. But if you have Zoom or you
have Microsoft Team setup, you want to do your
meetings there, select that from
the drop down here. But again, for the
sake of this demo, and I've got all kinds of
other things hooked up, I'm going to leave
it here as custom. Coming down, you want to
change your event color, whatever you wanted to
show up on what color you wanted to show up on
both your Google calendars, put that there. Go
ahead and hit safe. For the availability,
now we've set up our personal availability in the My profile screen
in a previous video. What we want to do now is we're going to
set up basically, we want to set
this up and future proof this for if
we bring on a VA. So what I'll do is I'll
make Monday to Friday. Eight to 6:00 P.M.
Because, again, I may or may not have a VA who wants to work 8:00
A.M. On Monday morning. So what I'm going to do is I'm
going to put eight to six, but know that my personal
availability is going to block off Mondays because I don't take a
meeting on a Monday. So what'll happen now is even though the calendar has
it available Monday, my personal
availability will block off Monday so I
can't book Mondays. Once that's done,
you want to make this calendar availability
as big as possible. Coming down here into
the meeting interval, this is basically how
many slots are available. So, for instance, if
I set this to 30, I would only have ten, 1030 and 11 meeting slots available. But if I put this to
15, I'll have ten, 1015, 1030, 1045,
and 11 available. Meting duration, I find that 30 minutes is fine
for a discovery call. Occasionally, they go long, but that's why we have the
post buffer time here, so that way you don't have them running right up
against each other. So customer sees that
it's 30 minutes, but you're actually
blocking off 45 on your calendar in
case it goes long. When it comes down
here to minimum scheduling notice
and date range, I don't like surprise meetings. Hopefully, you don't either. So I make people have to wait at least 12 hours I find is a really good kind of
buffer for meetings. So I can check in the morning if I have anything
on the schedule. For instance, if they
were up at 4:00 A.M. And they wanted to
book a call with me, they can't book until 4:00 P.M. So when I go in and I check
my schedule for the day, if somebody booked at 4:00
A.M. I'm going to see them. I've got a couple hours to
prepare for that meeting. Same thing if somebody
goes ahead and they want to book
in the middle of the night at 12, it's now 12. It's now 12 noon. So in the morning, I'll have a little bit
of time to prepare. So I give myself that
little bit of buffer. Date range, I put it 14 days if somebody books 3.5 weeks out, they're probably not
going to show up anyway. I've seen people here go
as much as three days. Today, tomorrow,
next day, that's it. But I'm a little bit more lenient with the
14, because, again, if we're selling content, we're going to have a lot
higher intent appointments. We're not going to be
forcing people to book, and we're not forcing
people to show up. People are going to
want to show up. So I leave that there at
14. Max bookings a day. I've given you a
default here at five. I cannot do more than
five sales calls a day. Personally, if you are
a freaking machine, you can leave that blank, and it will be unlimited, or if you just want to
take two or three, you can put whatever
you want in there. And then bookings per slot, we don't want to double book, so I just leave
that there at one. When that's set, perfect. Safe. Forms and payment. Now, there is a discovery
call booking form that I gave you into your
snapshot account. I'm going to leave
that there for now. I'll show you what
that actually is going to, what that's
going to collect. And then I allow them to add
guests if they want to bring a business partner and basically just give the count so that way, I'm not blindsided and two
or three people show up. They can say, Book
the appointment. I'm going to have two guests
with me. Confirmation page, this is set at the funnel level. So don't worry about
this coming down. And also, I do not autocfirm
my new calendar meetings. The reason being is that I
want to go ahead and I want to double check and manually confirm every
single appointment. When we get into automations, I'll show you what
I have set up. But basically, when somebody goes to book on this calendar, you'll get a text that says, So and so wants to book a
meeting, go check and confirm. And once you do, it'll then confirm it and fire off an
email to the person saying, Hey, I checked my schedule,
and we're good to go. So I leave this checked off. If you want to just
autocfirm everything, check it on, and it'll autocfirm everything
here on the books. Coming down here, notifications. I now have notifications
turned on for unconfirmed and
confirmed appointments going to me and the customer. And then same thing for
cancellation and reschedule. This will actually pop in
the lead Connector app if someone cancels or reschedules cause I
want to know about it. I don't want to show
up to a meeting that I thought was there,
and then it's canceled. It's happened a couple of times. I was really glad I on
high level put this here. Coming down, I like to allow Google and
Outlook calendar to send invitation update emails
because for some reason, if mine go to Spam, the Google one will
always go through. And then you also want
to assign contacts to their calendar team members
every time it's booked, because all of the
automations I built for you are based on
the assigned user, and we want to make sure that
this is assigning to you. We have to add you
as the user so that way all your name goes on all the stuff that
I built for you. Cancellation policy,
I want to allow people to reschedule and
allow people to cancel. I find it easier that way. And then once we're done with that, we go
ahead, we hit Save. And then customizations
if you want to change the color to make it like
a more branded with you, so we can go so we can go ahead and change
your hex code here, if I want to make it
that dark purple. Again, it doesn't really
make a huge difference, but it does that
little color, makes it look a little bit
better on the page. And then what you want
the actual button to say. So right now it's a schedule
consult schedule meeting, book appointment whatever you want it to say, put
it right there. When we're done with that,
go ahead and hit safe. When that's done,
we're now ready to set up the book a
consult funnel. Coming back here, we're
going to go here into sites. You'll see funnels
up top and you'll see the discovery
call funnel here. Inside here, if you remember
from the last video, I set this up here on my domain. So it's earshot dot
info slash CST, and we also put the consult into the book of call Custom value. So make sure that that
says consult there. And then for the pending, you
want to make sure that it says consult pending
over here as well. If it says anything different, your custom links are not going to work if you put consult and pending into those
custom values. Now, once everything's
up, we're going to open up the page editor here. And now we're going to make
this the right colors, and we're going to make the
right copy that's here. So again, we've got the
green from the template. Again, you want to see
the squares, go in, hit the dark purple or hit whatever background color
you want it to be on the page from that brand
slot, from that brand board. Come down here. We've already did the footer in another video, and you'll see now that we've
got kind of that purple. That's what we changed
in the previous screen. So this is what the
customers going to see when we have all
of our colors correct, we're going to basically
go ahead and publish. And you'll see that this is actually going to
say book a meeting with your business name if you want to change the SEO metadata, over here, that's fine, as well. Essentially this button
here on the page, you want to make sure that
this has a scroll to element, and if the element
is the calendar. So it's going to scroll
right down to this page where you can see
free consultation. There's your description,
and then go ahead, they can book their time slots. Now, we want to make
sure on the calendar here that if we select
the calendar element, you'll see a little orange
box. Come over here. You want to make sure that the free consultation
calendars there, and the redirect action
is go to the next step. We don't want this to say, use the action of the
calendar Builder, we want to go go
to the next step. Save, publish that, make
sure that that's there. Then if we come into this top, we're going to do the
look at the pending page. So when somebody books the appointment and
fills out the form, they're gonna show up
on the pending page where your picture
is here again. You want to do, it's in the row. Change the color, make it look on brand. I think it's
just right there. Now this is the next page, which is going to
tell them to check their email because we're
going to review the timeslot. And again, if you want
to change this copy, you can change it just like
you would on a Word document. But basically, I'm telling people to just
check their email. I'm going to review
the time slot. When I review it,
it's going to tell them that we're confirmed
and we're good to go. And then if I send them anything that they
want to fill out, just be on the lookout for it. It's basic generic
copy that you can go ahead and you can change
yourself if you want to. When that's done and we have this the way
that we want it, we can go ahead and publish. Now we can go into the funnel and we can go and
test it all out. So as you'll see here, it's got my logo up here. Book a meeting with
me when you're free. And this is where they
can go. If you remember, Mondays blocked off because
of my personal availability, even though we set the
calendar available on Mondays. So now let's test
something here. We've got 30th. We're gonna have 12:00 P.M.
We'll hit Select. Now this is going to be the
form that I've built for you. So full name, organization, phone number, email,
and then notes. What's the number one thing
you want to accomplish? This is a really good field to have because
it's going to give you an idea of what
they want you to build before you show
up to the meeting. So you want to have
something like this where basically you want to get the person's intent
when they go ahead and book. When that's done there, they say that consent for the A two P. They can add
guests if they want. They can say, I'm going to
bring two extra people. And then when they
schedule the consult, it's going to go ahead. It's going to schedule
the consult there. But they have to fill
out the form first. If you see this, this means
that this is working right, and I will see you
in the next video.
17. GHL Account Setup: Free Course Funnel: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're
going to go over the free course
funnel that I gave to you inside of the snapshot. So now when you're
giving away your free course as a lead magnet, you have something basic
that's built and you can start pushing
on social media. Alright, so we're here
inside of these sites and then in the funnels tab up
here to get to the screen, and you'll notice
that I've built you a free course funnel here inside your account.
Open this up. You want to make sure that
it is active and you see slash free because that's going to make sure the
custom values work. Once that's set up,
we can go in and we can start editing
some of these pages. I've given you a basic opt
in and a thank you page. If you have a one time offer, if you haven't upsell
that you want to do after the free
course is opted in, you can just go ahead
and drag this up there, and now it's going to go opt in, upsell, and then
a thank you page. If not, you can just leave
it down here on the bottom. It's going to go opt
in Thank you page, and then you have this page
for when you make that offer. Opening up here, we go to Edit. It's really just two pages here that you have to edit here. And again, if you've been
doing this for most of these, you already know you
already have your colors. It's just a matter of basically selecting
everything that's this green color and go ahead
and making it the purple, going through, clicking it, and making sure it's
the right color. And this is why we did the brand board was
because it gives you all of those brand
colors that are really, really easy to select.
Makes it super easy. Come into here. And this is also why I wanted you that
light color that was there, because one of these darks would not necessarily
make sense. We make the light,
it'll work there. So you'll just have to change
some of the copy here, headline for your sales
message and avatar, attention, your target audience. It's all pretty much all pretty self explanatory
in terms of copy. Coming down here,
you're going to have your lead magnet name,
have your free course name. Put a visual representation
here or a happy customer, and then talk about what you
get with the free course. And it says here today free. And then, again, on the footer, we just want again make sure
that it's the right color. Now, when it says
instant access, you want to make sure
that this button is set to open the pop up, which if we come up here
to pop up settings, again, we can make sure
we can get rid of that green, make
that the purple. Now you want to make sure that this form is a free
course opt in, which is basically just
name, phone number, email, and then submit. And then you want to
make sure here that this is go to next step. So when somebody fills this out, the automations we're going to talk about in the
next video will actually grant them
free course access. So it's really not much
to go through on here, make sure you get
rid of the green, make sure that form is there, and then we can go
ahead and hit Publish. Now we can come up here and then look at our thank you page. When we come down here
to our thank you page, you'll see that there's
this picture here again, and we can swap out that really light color for the
really light purple. Again, just get rid of all of the all the green, make
sure it's your color. And then this is
a basic page here that basically just tells
them, check your email. You should be getting emails
right now that contain your login information.
It should be coming from. It's going to pull
your business name, and it's going to pull your
business email here as well. So if you want to really just
type in your email there, that's fine. If
not, it will pull. I left this order
confirmation in here for if you are doing a paid offer
behind the free course. If you're not, you can just
go ahead, hit the trash can, just download it and
hit the trash can, delete it, and then
just hit Publish, and now you're good. Now you've got it set
up for a free course. In the next video, I'm going to go over
the automations that are powering this whole free
course delivery process.
18. GHL Account Setup: Free Course Automations: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm going
to show you all of the automations behind
the free course, as well as how the free course is set up so that you can give this away as a lead
magnet on social media. Now, first thing, we're
going to go here into the automation screen
here on the left, and you'll see in
folder number one, free course automations is
here, and there's two of them. So basically, it's just
one that when they opt in, it grants them the
course, and then two, it updates your pipeline
when they log in. Super simple, there's not
a whole lot going on here. Now, number one here
is there's no trigger. So you'll have to do
is you'll have to add the form here,
form submitted, and you'll have to add a
filter here so that the form is free course opt in. Free course form submitted. Now what'll happen
is when somebody submits the form on
that opt in page, it is going to trigger
this automation. Go ahead, make sure
that we hit safe. You want to make sure also
that it's assigned to you, make sure that you are
selected here on the users. It's also going to tag them that they're a free course lead. It's going to add
them to the pipeline, which we're going to talk
about in the next module. Then what's going to
happen after they opt in after it adds
them to the pipeline? It's going to grant
the free course offer, which I'll show you here. I've just named
it high level for small business for
snapshot purposes. That's over there. And it's going to add them to your
email broadcast list, which we can talk about
in another video. But basically, anybody
who comes onto your list, this is going to be
people that you want to broadcast if you
have an offer or you have an open build slot that you can kind of try
to generate some business. Add them to your broadcast list, and then it's going
to wait a day and see whether or
not they logged in. If they logged in, yes. Well, we're going to. We're
going to not worry about it. If they did not log
in after a day, it's going to give
them a gentle nudge, which basically says, Hey,
did you forget about me? I always see that you
grabbed my free course, and you can read the
copy that I put here. If you want to change it,
great, if you want to. If you want to go with what I wrote for you, that's fine, too. But that's everything
that's there. We make sure we hit Save,
make sure we hit Publish. We're going to publish, and
then we got to hit Save. Go back to workflows. Again, just make sure that
this one here is published. And now when somebody
comes in and grabs your free course,
it's going to work. The next one here is that
if somebody logs in, you'll see they started the
free course, the trigger. You want to make sure
that the product is the high level for
small business or whatever you
named your course. Make sure that that's
there. It's going to move them there to log in. Now, I've left you a
note here as well. This is just going to hold
the contact active so that check in the last automation
is going to work. So if they're holding
here for three days, it's going to show as
active in this workflow, and then it's going to
not fire off the Hey, did you forget about me email. So we're just going
to publish and save and leave that as is. The only thing you have to
do here is in the trigger is just make sure that your course
is here in the drop down. Click it and you'll see again, you'll just make sure
your course is checked. Go back to workflows.
Once that's done, all of your automations are
going to be good to go. Now, to make sure that it's your course that gets delivered, I've already created an offer. I've already created
a product that you just need to add
your lessons to. If you come here into
automations and I'm sorry, if you come down here
into memberships, you'll see up top here
where it says courses. Now, we've got products
fit inside of offers, and then offers are
attached to funnels. If you go here into products, I've given one here
that's a shell that just says high level
for small business. If you want to change
the name, you can go hover over the three dots, it details, and you can change the name of the
course right here. You'll also want to go
fill out the outline, but all of your lessons,
but all of your thumbnails, create your course inside here, so that way it's attached to all the automations
that I built for you. Same thing with the offer if we come over here into offers, I've got the high level
for Small Business offer. You can just go ahead, hit Edit, and you can change the
name of the offer itself, add a description, and then
change, again, your products, or if you want to add
an extra course to this, you can go
and update this. But all the automations
that I built for you are based off of this offer. So if you want to use this
one, that's fine, too. And with that said, we can
move on to the next video.
19. GHL Account Setup: Helpdesk Pipeline: Welcome back to the program. In this video, we're
going to be going over the helpdesk pipeline that I created for you inside
of your snapshot. So this way, when your
clients have issues, if they want to submit
a support ticket, they can get them they
can get support from you and you can keep track
of all the requests. So what we're going to do
here is I'm actually going to start with the Helpdesk
page, for instance. Now, when you activated
your website, one of those pages
in the website was the Helpdesk ticket. Now, the page looks like this. I've set it up here with two buttons where
someone can either access the billing portal through your client
portal, which we set up. But you'll bring them
over to the portal page. Or they can go ahead and
they can actually submit a ticket and submit a
help request from you. So they can put their name, their email, the
issue they're facing, and then they can use a
oomlink and it will go into a pipeline so you can manage
all of those tickets. On the high level
side of things, you'll go into the
opportunities, and you'll see helpdesk tickets where it's really
just three columns. It's a ticket submitted,
working on the issue, and then ticket resolved. And all of these
are going to have automations associated with them, so let's
go check those out. Inside the automation
tab over here, you will see folder number four, helpdesk automations. Now,
there's a couple of these. Again, one to four
or one to three A is how they're going to how the lead is going
to go through them. So ticket received it's
very, very simple. When somebody submits the
ticket on that particular page, it's going to add
them to the pipeline. You have to make sure that
it gets assigned to you. You got to make sure
you add yourself. All of these workflows,
a lot of them, you have to make sure
that you have to assign yourself,
the lead to you. So it's going to put
your name on everything. And then it's also
going to pop up a notification that
you have received a report request and it's going to send you the loom
link if somebody has it. It's also going to add
a task for you as well. Due in five days. I'll
show you that there. And then it's also
going to text and email the customer basically
as a confirmation that, Hey, I received your ticket, I'm going to go take a look
at it, but give me some time. Essentially what's
going to happen there. You're gonna hit publish,
and then we'll hit Safe. And again, like all
the other again, like all of the other
workflows in here, I have the sender details are
going to be your name and then the business email as it goes out there
as a fail safe, but feel free to change these. Now, once your
ticket is received, if you drag the person over from the ticket submitted
to the in progress, it's going to email
the client and says, Hey, I started to
work on your problem. I'll email them started
to work your issue, and we'll basically say,
Hey, we just got to it. So it's a good managing of
expectations with the clients. So they know, Okay,
they're working on it. Or they saw my ticket and
they're working on it. So all you have to do
is drag that over. Hip publish hit Save is
right through there. Then you come down here
with ticket resolved. When we drag it over
to Ticket Resolve, it's going to move it in
the pipeline as well. But it's also going to mark
when the fix happened. So you can track
when the ticket came in and then when the
ticket got resolved. We're also I also built in a field for you so that
you can actually make a loom video of the fix and then attach it
to the customer record. I will email that out to
the customer as well. I'll show you that's here in
a second, how it all works. But it also basically
just says a text, Hey, good news, your
issues resolved. I'll send you an email. And then it's also going to
email them and says, Hey, I fixed your issue, and it gives them a link to the Loom video. And again, just says, Hey,
look, we fixed your issue. Here's the fix. We
publish and we hit Safe. Okay, now now that
everything is active, let's work through
this pipeline. So we've got a blank pipeline. We're going over here,
a fake loom link there. Okay. So now someone is describing the
issue they're facing, and they're giving us a
Loom link. They hit Submit. What's gonna happen
now is that it says, Hey, we're gonna
respond quickly. If we come over here, we
now have our test lead over here in the pipeline. If we open up the opportunity, you'll see that we also have helpdesk ticket info over
here as testing the system. If there's a Loom
video or sorry, the Loom link is right here. This will be the one
where they have it, and then it'll say when
the ticket was submitted. So all the information from that form comes into the
opportunity over here. Now, if we also come
to the dashboard, and we look for tasks. We now have a task down here that test lead needs support, and it gives them the issue and the loom link right
there that you can go ahead and
you can look at it. So you know that there's a
ticket pending over here. Also, up top here, it does pop a notification that you have a new support ticket here
created right through here. If you click click
the notification, it'll bring it over here
to the opportunity. So all of that is all working. Now, if we open up
the customer record, you'll see that
this actually fired off an email that said, Hey, your request was received. Now let's assume now let's assume that we fix we
started to work the issue, and what we're gonna do is we're going to start
to work on it. And the act of moving that
box is now going to fire off. Let's open this in a new tab. It's going to fire
off another email. I've started to
work on your issue. So again, I told the lead that we started to
work on their issue. And then when it's resolved, that's also going to
fire off an email. Now, when this one
goes over here, when this ticket
here gets resolved, you'll see that it says,
I fixed your issue, but it did not. We
did not support. But we didn't add the
loom link of the fix, because we didn't
actually fix anything. So what you would
do is you would go into the Helpdesk ticket info, and you would put your
loom link here of the fix, and that would send
the link to the lead. Basically you tell them, Hey, look, this was what the fix was. This is kind of documentation. That way, it's
attached to all the communication what
the fix actually was. So it's a very simple,
and you'll see down here it has the ticket
resolved on tickets submitted on so you can see how long it took you to work
the particular issue. Um, but that's all the simple little simple little helpdesk pipeline
that I built for you. And it's simple, but
it's very effective. Hopefully, it helps you manage some of your
support requests, and I will see you
in the next video.
20. GHL Account Setup: Lead Pipelines: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're
going to go over both of your lead
pipelines so you can manage your incoming leads and follow up with them
effectively and also keep track of all of your stats inside of high level. Now, we're starting here inside of the opportunity screen again. And there's actually we
want to talk about the high level service
clients pipeline, and then also your free course leads pipeline here as well. Now, I want to talk
about the free course leads because it's
really, really simple. Essentially, what happens
is in your automation, inside your free
course automations, there's the one here where
it goes Landing page opt in. Over here, all this is going to do is this
is going to create an opportunity inside that
pipeline for somebody who opts into the free
course. It's very simple. That way, you'll
just be able to see who the free course
leads actually are. And then when we go
into the number two, once somebody logs in, it's going to move them
over to the log inside. So what that's going
to do is over time, you'll be able to see how many opportunities of
people actually grab your free course and
then how many people actually logged in to
consume your free course. You can get an idea in
terms of your consumption, the more people you
can get to consume your free course is going to
lead to more appointments, more sales, and ultimately
more money in your pocket. So generally on my free courses, I'll get about a 30% to
50% consumption rate, depending on the month, right? If I have a video pop off, my consumption rate will
drop down to about 30%. But normally from YouTube, it's about 50% of people who actually grab it
will actually log in. That's a very simple pipeline you can use there
to kind of keep an indicator as to the
effectiveness of your lead magnet. Now, the more complex and probably the pipeline
you're going to look at way more often is going to be your
service clients pipeline. Now, if you have a
form or a lead magnet, somebody's going to opt in. As somebody's going to opt in, you can use any
general lead magnet. There's nothing going to it yet. They'll end up in
this far left column here a form Opt in leads. If you want to create, again, a basic website form,
a newsletter, a PDF, kind of whatever other lead magnet you want to make,
you can dump them in here. Now we talk about later
on in the course, going to the high level certified admin leads that
you get from high level, when you fill out
the admin form, they're actually
going to pop in here before they actually respond. And then once a
lead responds from the initial reach
out sequence, right? There's an automated list
of five emails that go out. As they respond, they're
going to jump over here to lead responded
to let you know, those are the hot
leads, and those are the ones that you should
start following up with. And then once somebody
goes ahead and books, they'll go into their
scheduled consult. That's the end of
the automation in particular in this
particular pipeline. From here, from people
who book discovery calls, it's going to be on you to update the result of
that discovery call, whether they showed,
or they didn't show. And that's essentially
going to keep you depending upon where you
put the show or no show, that's going to
trigger automations as to what happens next. From the show to column, if you decide to send
somebody an agreement, you decide to send
somebody a contract, which we're going to
cover in another video and one of the next
couple of videos, it's going to move them
over to Agreement sent. As they sign it, it'll move
them over here to sign, and then once somebody pays their first deposit,
it'll let you know. It'll move over to
deposit received, and then it'll also
go delivery complete. You'll move it to
delivery complete when you've completed
the project. And then, again, we'll talk
about this in later videos, but it's going to update the dollars that you
make along the way. So that way, you'll have an idea of how much money
you're making per contract and how much money
just in total you've made. So far, what we've
gone through those, we've gone through the
discovery call automations. These are going to add
people to that pipeline. We have not gone through we have not gone through
the certified Admin leads, but this is going to
add them in there. We'll go over this
in another video. And then the discovery calls, again, showed no showed
that's going to move people. In the next couple of
videos, we're going to go over the invoicing and the
contracts here to move them, again, further down that line. And now that we have an idea of what's feeding this pipeline, let's test it out in action and kind of show
you how that works. So now we have our consult page. This is our booking page. We're going to go
book, let's just say Thursday the 30th at 11:30 A.M. Now what we're going
to do is we're going to put our testing lead. Okay, so what's
going to happen now, we're going to consent
here, and then we're going to hit
Schedule consult. So now what's going to happen is it's going to set the appointment
as a new appointment. We're still going to
have to confirm it, but now they're in our system. So what'll happen now as
we come into appointments, if we come to the
dashboard, Yeah. Now, if we come here
on the dashboard, we'll see the notification
here that we have an appointment call request, which will come into there,
which if we click here, I'll bring the
test lead up here. I'll say it says that I fired off the email that
you're penciled in. And then if you come over
here for the appointments, you will see that the
status here is new. Now, you can also go into calendars and go
under appointments. And you'll see the lead here. You'll see the lead's
name. You'll see the invitee, you'll
see the status. And then if this works for us, we're going to go ahead and
we're going to hit confirmed. Update that as confirmed. And what that's
going to do if we go into our opportunities, it's going to put the lead
here in the scheduled console, and it has the appointment
name or date right there. So, now that we have them
on the schedule, again, let's assume that we go
through all of the reminders, the person shows up
for the appointment. What we'll then do if
the person showed up, all we have to do is just
drag them over here to Shout. And what that's going
to do, if we now go into calendars and appointments, it's going to update
it over here to Shout or the
opposite can happen, and we can actually change
it here to no show. And it works the other
way. So what this should probably do is it
should move the person. And then the opposite
is also true. So if we go into here and we have a confirmed appointment, we want to mark them as a show, that's going to move them
in the pipeline as well. So either way, whether
you update it to show here or you just
drag it in the pipeline, either way it's going to move. It's going to move the
console over to here. And then in the next video,
we're going to talk about all the invoicing and contract
automations that I built.
21. GHL Account Setup: Invoices & Contracts: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going
to talk about what to do when it comes time
to send an invoice and send a contract
to your client in high level using the
snapshot that I built you. Alright, so we're
going to start here over in the Opportunities tab, and we're going to come
all the way over here. So let's say test lead. We had a meeting with
them, and we talked about work and we want to
move forward, right? They agreed to a price, and
we want to move forward. So we want to make this all we want to make
this all official. So what we're going to do
is we're going to open up the customer record here. And what'll happen is
you'll notice that I've actually built you GHLPject info and project contract info
fields here respectively. Now, we're going to
come back to these. I want to make sure
the automations are up and live first before we start filling them out because they're going to
start doing stuff. So going back into
the automations tab, you'll see invoice and
contract automations. I'm going to run through
these fairly quickly. Again, we've only got
three of them here. First one is to
create the proposal. So what'll happen now is that when the work agreement
is sent, and again, I've already built
the high level custom work agreement for you, basically lifted the exact one that I use with my clients. When that gets sent,
it's going to move them into agreement sent. We're going to hit safe. And what it's also
going to do here, it's also going to update the lead value with the
estimated cost of the project. So that's going to go
there. The next one here is that when the
contract gets completed, when the contract
comes back signed, I'll show you how the sign
goes back and forth, right? I'll move them to a
signed agreement, and then it'll also let you know that the person
signed the proposal, but they just haven't paid yet. And then finally,
when somebody pays, somebody pays their initial
deposit through Stripe, which I don't know if I'm
going to be able to show you because I have not hooked
up Stripe to this account. Once the invoice here gets paid, it's going to give you a
notification that somebody paid. It's going to mark the
opportunity here as one and then update with the total price of the invoice of the project, and then email them confirmation of the
receipt of the payment. With that there, all set
up, now we're ready to go. Once these three
here are published, we can now show
you the process of invoicing people through
high level system. So, again, we're at the
opportunities phase here, and we have test lead we talked about
something with them. If you actually
collapse the contact, you'll see project info
and then contract info. So project info, let's say
that we are going to build a website automation
and snapshot for them. Now, when you go
ahead and do you do your actual builds and
your actual contracts, be way more specific than
this with your scope of work. Let's say that it's going
to take 30 days to do that, and we're going to
bill them $5,000. And the work notes here, I want to see how
the system works. So this is actually going
to be This is going to pull from their
initial discovery call, so you can actually
see what they wanted to get accomplished. So that's there,
we're going to go ahead and we're
going to hit Save. Next thing we're going to do is we're going to pull
the contract info. We've talked to them
again. It's going to be a $5,000 project. We want that to pull
in there, and we've agreed at $1,500 upfront. And now the client will provide logins and then
brand assets, right? We're not going to create
a logo for that person. And again, be more specific
when you're doing these. I'm doing this to make
it a quick tutorial. Special terms and conditions
where there are going to be no special terms and conditions on this particular contract, and then our hourly rate
is going to be $100. And then, again, our due
date is going to be they're gonna owe us the due
date on completion. And then we're going to go ahead and we're gonna hit safe. So what we've done is
we've just updated all of the contracts of the deal that we've negotiated
with our client. We've basically said,
what we're going to do, how long we think it's going to take, how much it's going to be? And then we're also going to say how much it's
totally going to be, our $1,500 our initial deposit, logins and brand assets, what they're going to give
us, no special conditions, how much they give us upfront, and then how much
our hourly rate is going to be if it goes over. And then we also balance is going to be due
on completion. So we've given all
of the variables and we've attached them here
to the customer record. Now we get to head over to the payments over here on the left. And again, we're
probably not going to do a whole lot because we haven't
hooked up Stripe to this. But if you go into documents and contracts, you'll
see templates. I've given you a high level
custom work agreement here. Now, the value is 1,500 because I think that's
what you should be going for at least upfront is a $1,500 deposit for any kind of
work that you're doing. $1,500 upfront is a very
fair upfront offer. Once you come into here,
this is the template. You can go ahead and you can
change this if you want. But I've included
this is the one that I use for all of my customers. I make a plain I make this a very plain knowledge,
very simple agreement. If you want to
have a lawyer take a look at this, by all means, have a lawyer take
a look at this, but I used chat GPT, and I also had a very plain English contract
agreement that really it shows what we're
trying to do and tries to keep basically spread the
risk between both parties. You can Take a moment, read it. You'll see. You can probably understand
it without being a lawyer. From here, you can see now
that it's already pulling some of it's already pulling
some of the values in here. So, for instance, we're
going to use this template. All right, now, once you're
into the invoices screen, the first thing
you're going to do is you're going to add a client. Now, I've added the wrong
client to this on purpose, and you'll see here how it says, contract estimated cost, we filled this out on
the customer record. But since it's not
filled out for this particular customer,
it's not going to pull in. So now, as I come in
here and I do test lead, if you scroll up
to the top again, it now pulled in the
$5,000 project cost. I just got to get rid of $1
sign here on the template. And you'll also notice, too, that as we come in, the
delivery terms, it's 30 days. It pulls the 30 into there. All the variables
that we basically put on the customer record are now pulling
into the invoice. We come down here, Pennsylvania, this is pulling this is
pulling from your business, wherever your
business is located. It's going to pull in there. The next thing that
we just have to do. The next thing we have to do is basically on that
service provider, we need to assign
the lead to you. And you can actually do this
in the template screen. So you can save the template, but just make your name here. So it's signed by you
and not the customer. So you've got you, you
got the customer here. They don't have a
company name yet, although they probably should. We come down here,
you'll see scope of work is pulled in here. As you get really
specific, it'll add all the scope of work here. Payment terms, pulls
the $1,500 in there, balance due on completion, and then you will see the
price of the initial deposit. You just have to change
this one here to the initial deposit that did
not pull a custom value. So you're just going to
have to do that before the You're just gonna have to do that
before you go ahead and send. So update the price. It's pulling the $1,500 in. If you wanted to grab
another, like, say, you want to grab $2,000, you would change
the price there. It'll change the
price over here. So, 1,500 high
level service work. You can call it
professional services, call it whatever you
want to call it. Basically just type into
here. Service work. And then on the
bottom, just make sure that you have
your service provider, make sure that you move
this to you as well. When that's done,
you can save it. And then you can go ahead,
you can click Send. Send via email. I'll send to me. I'll send here, you
go ahead, send. And now what that will
do is that will now send to you and
then the client at the same time so you guys can
both go ahead and sign it. And if we go back,
the active sending that if you go back
to the opportunities, you'll see that
the act of sending that the agreement sent, moved them down the
pipeline over here. Now, I'm going to go ahead
I'm gonna pause this, and I'm going to
sign it off camera. So if we come into here,
you'll see that there is you'll see that we've actually sent the custom
work agreement over here. So this is actually what the
customer is going to see. Start filling out.
Oh, this is going to be my copy here as
the service provider. Okay. Next, sign down here, accept and sign, finish. So that's one. Now I got
to go do the other one. Okay, now this is the customer
side, start filling out. You'll see this is the
customer side now. Test lead next. Initials, accept and sign, finish and complete payment. So now, when the person signs, it's going to prompt them now to a payment screen where
they can go ahead and pay. Probably, it's not gonna work. Because I haven't set up
my payment processor, this invoice cannot be paid, but basically, that's
how that's gonna work. Your client's gonna
get it, they're gonna sign that and
it's gonna take them to a payment screen where
they can go ahead and pay their first invoice for $1,500. Let's assume that
they get to this point and they get cold feet. What will happen now in opportunities you'll see it
move that they signed it, but they've not had
the deposit received. So if somebody gets there
and they don't pay, you'll know that they
signed, but they didn't pay. So that way, you
can follow up and say, Well, where's my money? So yeah, unfortunately,
this demonstration has to end here because I haven't hooked up my payment processor. But basically, there
would be in here, there would be a green
button that would say pay 1,500 where they can enter their credit card information
and complete their payment. But that's how that automation
there is going to work. That is how I bill my clients, and then once the
deposit is received, you can then get the
logins and get to work. And I will see you
in the next video.
22. Attracting & Closing Leads: Certified Admin Leads: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm
going to show you the simple email outreach
system that I built for you inside of the
snapshot for you to use on high level
certified Admin leads. Alright, so I'm going to start
here inside the dashboard. And basically, here's
what's going to happen. Essentially what's
going to happen is Alicia's going to post inside of the certified
Admins group. That's going to say
opportunity, right, automation opportunity,
website build opportunity. She'll give you basically a one liner as to the
inquiry they have, and then it's up to you to
reach out to the client. So what's going to happen
is you're going to have basically just a really one
line what I need help with. You're going to have a
name, you're going to have an email address and
sometimes a phone number. So what we're going
to do to kick off this automation is we're
going to create the contact, and the act of creating
the contact and updating a specific field is going to kick off
the outreach system. So let me show you what I mean. The automation, if we go into automations here on the left, and we go into
certified admin leads. There's two automations here. So number one is reply to this when they
reply to this lead, it's going to tag them as
hot. Leads going to respond. It's going to assign
to you, again, make sure that you
add yourself in here. It is going to move them
over to the lead responded, and then it's also going to pop a notification and
let you know that someone replied to your reach out and you need to
go respond to them. Super, super simple
workflow on this side. Now, the first one here is going to reach out to
those particular leads. Now, trigger being
the contact changed. So there's actually something
I put on that says, Because you needed
some help with. And I wrote this this way because that's how the
email is going to read, and then it's going to
enter whatever it is that you write after that.
Let me show you here. When you fill that in
on the contact record, it's going to assign
to you, again, make sure that you're and it's going to send
out this initial reach out email that I wrote. Feel free to use it,
feel free to change. It's totally up to you. But what's going to happen
here, subject is going to say, go high level project help certified admin here,
because essentially, when somebody goes in and
asks high level for help, they then get bombarded
with emails from 15, 20 different admins and it's kind of everybody
competing for the lead. So I want to tell them that I am a certified admin
right off the bat, which again, sometimes will set you apart from
all the other people. And again, you want to keep
this kind of relevant. They submitted to high level
for high level project help. You're now sending them an
email regarding project help. So this gets opened a lot. Now, coming down
here into the copy, what I've done here
with the copy, it says, Hey,
contact first name. Your info was referred to me directly from
high level because you needed some help with
building your website. You needed some help with writing some
automations, right? Whatever the ticket
is going to say, it's going to be up to you to write into that field
what they needed help with. Name is Dom, and I'm a GHL certified admin who can
help you with that. Again, don't take tickets
you can't help with. So every time you
respond to a ticket, just know that it's something
that you can help with. I would love to sit down for
a few minutes and chat with your project because
the info forwarded to me was pretty general, and I'd like to get a
handle on your specifics. I did a couple things
with this sentence. Number one, I'm going right for the appointment to sit
down and chat with them, but I'm also wanting to nail down specifics because we don't know if it's a
game of telephone, whether Alicia over on the
certified Admin summarized, or if she gave us
all this stuff, or if they just typed something quick and they
left something out. So I just want to
basically get them all on the same page before
I start quoting. Next up, I go, If you'd
like to get to know me and my GHLKledge
before chatting, certainly check out my
YouTube channel here. If you don't have
a YouTube channel, either start one or if you
have another social media where you're showing off
your high level knowledge, link to it there. Because people are going to
open up this email and I go, I don't know who the
heck this person is, give them someplace where they
can consume your content. They can learn who
you are, learn how good you are before
even reaching out. This is the key to having people show up to
appointments presold. Or it says you can just Google me to see all I've
done with High level. If you're creating a lot of
content with high level, high level is going
to reach out to you, feature you in a master class, feature you in some of
their official channels, and if someone just Googles
you, you'll pop up. Again, build your
credibility and build your authority before you even get on a call
with this person. Then it says, of course,
you can always just reply or text me
with any questions, D or schedule a time that works, and this is going
to link to your booking page that
we built earlier. Says, I look forward
to chatting, hopefully we can get
together on a project. I'm confident we can get
you up and going quickly, and then it's going
to fill in your name, your email, and
your phone number, if you want, if you don't want
to put your phone number, you can you can just
delete it there. It's fine. It's up
to you. But you, your name and your
phone number are right there. That's the first email. You'll actually also
get a fair amount of people who don't
even respond to this, and they just go and
they book an appointment because they've
watched your content, and they just go
on the calendar, and it's really
seamless and then all the automations
take over and they get all nice marketing automated messages
that are all in time. And that also is
building your authority because your high level account is working the way that
they want theirs to work. So we're going to save
that. Then what'll happen, it's going to tag them
here as an admin lead, and it's going to add them into the pipeline under the
certified Admin leads there. And it's going to
put the sources that they came from
the Admin group. So later on, when
they become a deal, you'll know how many deals
came from the Admin group. Then what'll happen
is every morning, for the next five
days, it's going to send them a different email. So it'll say the second one
here is basically confirming their choice to hire a professional because
this is likely a problem that they've probably tried to
solve on their own, started pulling
their hair out, and then they went to high
level and said, Help. And now they're getting
bombarded by 20 people, and they're like, maybe maybe I don't need
to help somebody. This is just too much, right? Maybe I should back off.
So what we're doing now is on the second day we're saying going after an
admin was the right choice. We're telling them you made
the right choice. Here's why. Basically, what I'm
doing here then is I'm basically saying that I want to do a couple things with email. Number one, I want to make
sure that my first one got to you yesterday because
sometimes I go to Spam. And it's also telling
why we emailed them a second time if
they didn't respond. Number two, we also want, again, applaud them for hiring a P.
I talk about how many people are in the admin group versus
people who are trying, also building authority in the Admin program,
telling them that, Hey, look, I'm not your average
high level person, right? I have the official
seal of approval. And then, basically,
again, I'm just selling the Admin program here, and it says, Anyway,
I'd love to chat more about building
your website. I love the chat more about
hooking up the automations. Whatever you put in the
contact record is there. Here, book a meeting
with me here. And if you want to
see any of my work, here's my social links. Here's my YouTube, go check me out if you still
have questions. And at the bottom, it's always the call to action
to just respond. You'll get people
who just write back. Hey, I have a quick
question about this. How do I do this? And then you can now you're
talking to the person. So, you got to
remember that the goal of these emails is one, yes, you want them to
book an appointment, but the number one goal
is you just want them to respond back to you so you can
continue the conversation. So we're gonna go
there. Save action. The next day, this
one actually got a fair number of responses.
Who the heck am I? Because, again, remember,
they're getting emailed by, like, 15 people
at the same time. So I open it up. I say, Hey, look, I get
it. You're probably being bombarded by
a bunch of admins. And unfortunately, that's
because of how they do it. I'm like, I make High
level the bad guy, right? I'm not bombarding you. High level made me bombard you. That's essentially
how, uh that's essentially how I bring myself on the side of
the customer, okay? Now, this is basically
a free offer. I basically tell them
because at this point, there might be 20
people, there might be people who are priced
way lower than me. And I've had this a lot of
times where someone goes, Yeah, someone said they
could do it for 50 bucks. They didn't know what they
were doing. At this point now, I know that I'm
going to be asking way more money than most people. So at this point,
I'm going to say, send me a loom of what
you'd like to do. And then what you do is you basically just put a wire frame together in your
sandbox account, shoot a loom of the wire frame, then just send it back to
them and they go, Hey, is this what you
wanted for free? More times than not,
they'll just say, Yeah, let's continue with that. Let's get hop on a call. And now you're on a
call with somebody and you've already got the
thing kind of half built. So if you read through
the copy on this email, that's essentially what that is. You're offering to do
a portion of the work for free to let
them know and just demonstrate that you
can do it for them. And then, again, it's just
reply, hop on a Zoom, check out my YouTube channel, get a reply, kind of
all the same CTAs. Up next, I had testimonials from Upwork that I
put in this email. If you have testimonials, put them in here, right? Because now people you've been selling yourself
long enough. You want to see
other people kind of edify you and other people
build you up in this email. But I'm gonna make you
write this one on your own. I'm not gonna let you
use my testimonials. Then on the last one
here, too, I also, if someone completely
ignores me for four days, I give them my free
course as a gift. I tell them, Hey, I know I've
been trying to contact you. You may have found help. You may have found you may have
solved your issue. That's fine. But I want
to leave you with a gift. I want to give you
my free course in case I can help you
with anything else. You're just giving
them value for free. And people who grab this, they'll go through
your course and go, Oh, this person knows what
they're talking about, and you might not get
them on this job, but you'll get them on the next job if they need something else, 'cause now they're
in your ecosystem. You got the lead. They're
in your ecosystem. If you can engage
them in your course, engage them in your community, they might not go to
the high level Admin directly next time. They'll
just go right to you. So that's what I do
here at the end. I just give them
the free course. I say, if you want to
join us Reply Back, I'll send you access
to the course. And that's the end
that's this sequence. This sequence here gets a lot of appointments because
they're relevant emails. They're relevant leads. If you
want to call these people, by all means, you can call
these people here as well. I did not. I just basically added the person to
lead the sequence, and this is what was getting
appointments on its own. So let me show you
how to kick this off. So what will happen now is, again, we will go into the
certified Admins group. You'll see a post with a lead. We'll come down
here. We'll say, Oh, we have to make sure this
is active first. Publish. Okay. So what we do is
I go into the contacts, and I hit this
little ad contact. So I've got the Admin up on one side, I've got
this up on the other. And let's just say
this is admin lead. And we've got Admin lead at
dombav.com. Phone number. They did not give us a
phone number on this lead. So what'll happen now as we
go ahead, we just hit safe. So now we've got Admin
lead. We've got our email. Then what I'm going to do
is on the project info, let's say it says
automation opportunity. Automating my Let's
say it says automating lead automating lead
magnet workflow. Let's just say that that's what came through on the opportunity. I'm not going to put
because you needed some help with automating
lead magnet workflow. That doesn't flow
like a sentence. So what I'm going
to do is I'm going to add the punctuation and automating your
lead magnet workflow. I'm going to basically make this so that it flows, if I say, because you needed some
help with automating your lead magnet workflow. And as we hit Save, the
active saving that there, you're going to see
an email go out. Now it just reached
out as an email, added them to the
pipeline and now the automation started
doing its own thing. So if we open up the
email that we sent, if we come into
here, your info is referred to me from high
level because you needed some help with automating
your lead magnet workflow. Now that sounds like
a real sentence. And all we had to do was
add the person's name, update that one thing, and
it automated our outreach. And now it's going to outreach
every day for five days. So sweet little
automation there. It's going to get you
some appointments from the high level
certified group. And if you've gotten
this far, you can move on to the next video.
23. Attracting & Closing Leads: Types of Clients: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're
going to talk about the different types of
clients that you can kind of encounter and the types of
jobs that you're going to encounter as a high level
service professional. Now, by no means, is this going to be a completely
exhaustive list, but these are going
to be the most common types of jobs that you're going to
encounter as your time here as a high level
service P. Now, number one, for me, this is about half of my builds, right. This is not a lot, but this is a good majority of the types of clients that
would come to me. So these are one
time fresh builds. So these are going to
be clients that have not started using
high level yet, but they're looking to
start white labeling. They maybe have watched
some of your content. Maybe they've watched
they've gotten referred to you from the high level
certified Admin program. A lot of these people do
have other businesses. And what they want to do is they have a lot more money
than they have time. So they're going to
contact somebody like you to build out their
whole system for them. These builds generally will include the agency
account setup, so all of the plumbing,
all of the domains, everything at the agency level. And then you're
generally going to set up their company sub account. So this is going
to be the account that they run their
day to day from, and then also the snapshot
account that they put and implement with
all of their clients. Now, normally, sometimes
these builds are going to have a
signature snapshot that they want to
want to implement. This is a lot of the times
the case with coaches and consultants who want to
teach a specific framework. It's basically going
to be your job of making sure that that
framework comes to life in a snapshot so that all of
their customers start with the same exact kind of default settings and default automations inside
of their new accounts. So you're bringing their
framework to life. The other type of scratch
Build generally that I'll do, a fresh Build is going to be
with the snapshot account. I somebody wants a generic
home services snapshot. So that way, I created
a generic home services that I can kind of build
from, show it to this client. And then more times than not, 90% of what's on that
snapshot is enough for them. And then I'm just adding, again, certain small
customizations specific to things that they
want to include. The next type of job that you're probably
going to encounter is going to be what I
call a component build. Now, these customers
and these clients are going to have people who already
have an existing system, but they might be looking
into expanding their offering or implementing a new feature that high level
that just released. While you're not doing
as much building as you would with a
clean sheet build, these jobs do typically
require you to learn the client's existing
system and then work within it so that your additions can minimally disrupt their
standard of operation, their standard operations,
which is tartar than it seems. Typically, even though
there's going to be less work on these types of jobs because you might be building
out just a component as opposed to an entire system, you're going to spend
a similar amount of time because you're going
to have to either go through the client's
documentation or many times they don't
have documentation, and you have to go through
and click around and figure out and find out where
all of the data is going. And that's going to
take as much time as if you were
building it fresh. Generally on these, even
though they'll say, we just have to hook up
a couple of things or I just want you to build out
this one small component. Always ask if you
want things to be completely integrated into
their existing system, and then make sure that
you price accordingly, knowing that there's going
to be a lot of extra work, figuring out how
the system works. Alright, and the next
type of job that you'll get that kind
of comes out there in the high level service
world are people putting you on hourly retainers. Now, these are clients
who have an ad agency, but they need someone
special to be on call to service their clients for usually more
advanced issues. So at a lot of these clients that have
hired me in this type of role are they already have a white label
service provider, but they're looking
for somebody who's a little bit more
experienced than the level service
level one help people, so you can solve some
more advanced issues or maybe clean up some of
their back end processes, things that might need tweaking, and then some of their
higher level clients might have more custom
bespoke work that they want. So they're going to
bring you on pay you an hourly rate to service
those higher end customers. And depending upon the agency, you may be customer facing or you may not be
customer facing. I've seen it both ways where people just kind of
submit a ticket to me. I go fix it in the back end and we never talk to the client. I've also had it where
I'll come on to do a coaching call or do basically a systems call where I teach
people about high level, and that is customer facing. People can ask me it's Q&A, and we can get through it and build some pretty cool stuff. And then the other kind of job that I would put
into this kind of hourly retainer
bucket is if someone wants to bring you on to
do one of their SOPs, for instance, onboarding
is probably the most common so there are people who have a steady
if you charge 100, $150 to do an onboarding
for a client. Essentially, this agency
will keep you on call, and that when they
have a when they have a client who needs
onboarding, they'll call you. You'll book the appointment
with the client, and then you'll do the
whole onboarding for them or however the onboarding
process works out. So this is another one. I kind of put it in that
hourly retainer bucket because they typically will
pay you a fee upfront, and then you deduct from that upfront retainer every time you keep your time tracked. This next type of job is going to be my
favorite because it doesn't actually
require you to go into an account and do a
whole bunch of clicking, and it also pays a
little bit better. These are consulting jobs. Now, typically, again,
these are not going to require you to go in and
actually build the thing. These are agency owners
that are going to come to you for advice on
how to do something. Now, this could be
smoothing out an operation. This could be optimizing
a sales funnel, an email deliverability process,
whatever that might be. That just means that this
agency owners looking for your advice and not necessarily your labor in getting
the thing done. And because you're selling
your expertise here, you're not selling your
time and your labor, make sure that your
consulting rate is higher than your
regular labor rate. For me, again, I had $55-100 an hour was where I was able to
work up my labor rate too. My consulting rate started
at 200 and went up to $350. How I was able to
drive my prices up again, was through content. So as you have your content, it'll show your expertise, and you'll be able to
command more and more money for the knowledge that's
inside your head. And typically, these clients
would start as one offs. But generally, I found that
about three quarters of them would turn into a series of
maybe three to six calls. And then last but not least, we're talking about the
cleanup work customers. I hated taking these clients, and I probably
shouldn't take them, but I do want to help people. So I do take these
types of jobs, but more of them have burned me than ones that
have been profitable. Because you're in there
and you're cleaning up after someone else's work. So typically, these will be agency owners that contact you. They sit on you
and they go, Man, I did a deal with so and so
or this last person came in. They messed every
single thing up. I was hoping that
they would do this. It wasn't even close. And you go in the account and
it's just a freaking mess. So not only are you
going to have to build and straighten
out whatever it is, you're gonna have to figure
out what they messed up. And then go ahead
and clean things up. So these are kind
of frustrating. They are very time consuming, and you should probably
bid the job accordingly. But sometimes what I'll do is, I'll just recommend
a clean sheet, do over, basically like, Hey, let's just build
this all from scratch, depending upon how messed
up the account is. Sometimes it can be as
simple as a trigger firing multiple workflows and only one workflow
needs to be fired. But sometimes it's just we don't know what the
person was doing, it's better to just
wipe the slate, start over and do a clean
sheet build because that'll actually take less time than trying to straighten
out the last guy's mess. These jobs don't happen often, but when they do, just
know what you're getting yourself into when
you bid the price. And with that said, I will
see you in the next video.
24. Attracting & Closing Leads: Create the Ultimate Lead Magnet: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going to be talking about how to create the ultimate lead
magnet to increase your lead flow for your high
level service business. Now, number one, putting
out helpful content that leads straight to an
appointment does work, but it really only captures
the hottest leads who are ready to buy and the
lowest hanging fruit. Now, here's why we should create the ultimate lead magnet. Number one, because putting out content that
leads straight to a book a call funnel or leads straight to an appointment
funnel, it does work. That strategy does
work, but it only captures the hottest customers who are ready to do
business right now, and it only captures the
lowest hanging fruit. If we want to grab those
kind of lukewarm leads, those kind of casual leads, and even the people who
are fairly cold, as well, we need to offer a
valuable lead magnet so we can bring them
into our ecosystem and continue the
warm up process and basically farm our
ideal customer. In this case, what
I've done and what I'm going to be teaching
you is going to be offering a free
how to set up and how to use high
level course aimed at small businesses
and agencies that we're going to give
away in our content. What this is going to
allow us to do is it's going to allow us to
generate qualified leads organically from social media and then convert them to paying customers without ever making
a pitch on social media. And before I get
into the kind of nuts and bolts of how
this process works, I want you to internalize this phrase because
this is going to be kind of the driving force
behind this entire strategy. Now, people hate
being sold, too, but they'll always grab free stuff if they think
it's going to help them. So, again, you could probably be the person to solve their
problems in an hour. But if you lead with
something paid, like a paid book a
call funnly or there's a booking fee or you lead with something that goes
right to something paid, immediately just sales
resistance is going to go up even because people just aren't comfortable
with you just yet. But instead, giving
them giving them a lead magnet for free and
leading with something free, they're keeping
their guard down, and you're just
bringing them, getting your foot in the
door, so to speak. Alright, so here's
how this works, the a big picture strategy here. So, number one, we're going to create social media content. I prefer YouTube as my
platform of choice, although this works with
all major platforms. From that content,
we're going to drive people to an opt in page. This is where we're going to
give away your free course. It's going to be on an
opt in page on a funnel. Now, after they opt
into that page, they're going to
actually be hit with a one time offer or a
bridge page depending upon whether you want to sell
additional services of your own or you want to sell a
high level as an affiliate. This page is going to make that first pitch
after they opt in. After they opt in, assuming
they pass on that offer, they're going to see the
free course material. They'll go check their
email to go get logged in, and then inside of
that free course material is where you have a pitch or you have a
pitch to either book a call with you or to grab a
high level as an affiliate. There's going to be again, there's a link to your funnel and there's a link
to your calendar. Inside of every single lesson. And here's what that
looks like when it works. So this is actually a
course that I did here. So this is a free
high level course. Its opt in rate was 44.5%. And what you have
here is it went social media content to the opt in page here,
where people opted in. Then on this particular
page after they opted in, they saw a pitch for high
level as an affiliate. Basically, I said on this page with something
to the effect of, Oh, by the way, you're going to need high
level to do this. You might as well grab high level now if
you haven't already. Use my affiliate link, and this is what
you're going to get. That's what I did here. And then if people passed on it, which as you can see,
most people did, I got 389 people opted in, but only 360 made this page. So afterwards, then
they would go and they would see the
thank you page as well. Now, what I liked about this is of these people 29 clicked through and started
high level on a trial from the opt in page before they
got into the course. And if you have no kind
of bearing as far as a benchmark and what
these numbers mean at 44.5% opt in rate, the average that
you're going to see is going to be somewhere
around 20%. So if you were to change nothing else from
what you're currently doing for leads
into this method, you're doubling lead flow, and therefore, you're
going to double sales. If you do nothing else. Why are we giving away free
courses as a lead magnet, and why are we not
giving away an hour of consultation or why are
we not giving away a PDF? Why a course, right? Because the information inside the course is not
the valuable offer. So a lot of people when
they hear a course, they want to sell a course, which is great, right?
You can go ahead. You can sell courses,
but using courses as a lead magnet is a much more valuable way
to use a course, because inside, most people think that the value comes from the information
inside the course. It does not, right? The offer that you're selling and the way
that you're going to monetize this is you're selling high level as
an affiliate because you're going to have your high
level affiliate link inside the entire course. And then you're also
going to have you're selling your service
work as a freelancer. You're using the
course as a showcase of your knowledge and a
showcase of your expertise. So this way, the person
who wants to get things done they now have a direct link to you and they
already know what they're getting into before they
hop on a call with you. This is going to make it 1,000 times easier to generate leads, because number one, courses
have a high perceived value. I've probably seen
a dozen courses teaching people how
to use high level, and people are
charging as much as $1,000 upfront to get
access on how to do it. If you're going to give
this away for free, you're going to tip the value
equation in your favor, and people are more
likely to grab yours over one of your competitors
who is charging. Courses have zero cost to replicate and they have
zero cost to deliver. So if you had a
video Pop, right? If you were giving away an hour or a free consultation
as a lead magnet, your calendar would be full
and you would hate your life. Instead, if you're
giving away a course, if you have a video pop, you could give away 1,000
courses in a day, and you would just
have a smile on your face that
generally sales and a booked console calendar
full of people ready to buy rather than people who are kind
of lukewarm or like, I just want to vet
this guy and kind of see what he's about
before I give him money. Giving away courses also trains people to open emails from you. So any promotions that you
might do if you're promoting, you have a couple open
build slots or if high levels doing an affiliate
promotion that you want to send your high
level affiliate link to you want to do that
through an email. And courses generally
train people to open emails because login
credentials are sent via email, course updates are
sent via email. So they're going to get used
to getting emails from you, and they're going to
open your emails. And if they open your emails, if you have good copy inside,
you generally make a sale. Now, what is the goal
to hour free course, which is essentially how to use high level for small businesses. The goal of this
course is to basically show people how to
use high level, how to get it set up in
their small business, and then how to integrate it into specific
business situations. Now, what you also want to do
is you want to show how in depth the process of getting
that dream outcome is. Okay? Show the whole
process, show all the steps, show all the little details, all the really top level stuff that the average
person's going to miss. And kind of the
idea here is that you want to almost
overwhelm the person. You want to have the person
going through the course, say, I should probably
just hire this out. Right, think about
a YouTube video. If you've ever had something
break in your house, you go onto YouTube
to try to fix it, and then you go and
halfway through, you're just like,
This is too much. I'm probably just going
to go hire this out. That's kind of the effect that you want to have
when someone's going through your high level
course if you're selling service work as your
number one priority. Now, this works for your
services because, again, you're showing them
what to expect before they do business
with you, right? The active consuming
the course and active consuming that content is going to show that
you're an expert, and it's also going to show
how detail oriented you are. It's also going to do.
It's also going to help people better understand
their problems. So I've had people go
through my course, and then by the time they hop on a discovery call, they'll say, Hey, remember when
you did that lesson on calendars and setting
up your calendar? That's what's really
been bugging me. Can we fix my calendar? So, at that point, you don't necessarily
have to go through the entire discovery process of getting to know what their problem is because
they're telling you, Hey, I watched your
video. I know what? Can you just do that for me? And it makes selling
a lot easier because now you know the problem that you
want to overcome. Again, on the bottom
here, it's very easy to book a call with
you because they're consuming your content and
your calendar link is staring them in the face at the bottom
of every single lesson. Now, for affiliate sales, if you are selling high
level as an affiliate, there's going to be a
group of people who watch your YouTube videos.
They come in. They want to implement high
level for their own business, but they don't
necessarily want to spend a couple thousand dollar
having you set it up for them. So what they're going to do
is they're going to come in, watch your course and go
to set things up as a DIY. Perfect. There's nothing
wrong with that. You're going you're
gonna start building a trickle of recurring
commissions this way. Basically, what you want
your course to do is give them the lay of the
land before starting, and it's going to build
confidence in them. So if they could go and
watch on YouTube how to do a calendar with high level or how to do automation
with high level, they're kind of learning
everything in a vacuum. They don't know how each piece is going to relate
to the big picture. Your course is going to do that. It's going to give them context of how high levels used to win, and it's going to build value,
and it's going to build confidence that the
person can do this. If they only had your snapshot or if only they had
your system, right? You're there to help them kind of get their high level up and running in
the form of content. Now, each lesson in your
course here is also going to have a link to either a
high level trial or it's going to have a link to your
group About page if you have a community where
you're actually helping people and you're doing coaching in a one to many. I've seen it go both ways. There are people who
do kind of high level, here's how to use
high level coaching, and then they have
those high ticket, service clients that they pick
out of the so either way, as you go through
your course, again, you want to have your course be here's what high level is. Here's how to set
it up. Here's how you can use it in your
specific business. And in the bottom of
all of those lessons, you're going to have a
link to your book of call and a link to
your affiliate link, and that's how you're
going to set that up inside of your own high level. And with that said, I will
see you in the next lesson.
25. Attracting & Closing Leads: Discovery Call Basics: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're
going to talk about how your discovery calls
should go and how they should feel when you get somebody who actually
books a call for consultation about
a custom build or you doing some
service work for them. So let's jump right in. Now, typically,
this discovery call or this closed call, basically, we'll just call it a sales
consultation for lack of a better term because this
does not happen in two halves. This whole script kind of
happens all on the same call. On this call, there's
typically four basic parts. I'll go into each of these
in a little bit more detail, but right now you've got
your rapport building. You're also going to have
your project outline. You're going to have your
Can I do this moment? And then finally, you're
going to ask for the sale. Let's jump into each part here, and I'll show you what I mean. Phase one is basically our meet and greet,
our rapport building. When you first hop on
a call with somebody, that person is
going to know a lot more about you than
you know about them, especially if you're selling via a free course and
you're selling via YouTube. The person on the other
end of the Zoom has probably watched three
or four of your videos. They probably consumed half
or more of your course, and they feel like there's kind of that parasocial
relationship between the creator
and the viewer, but you haven't had
that because you haven't watched any
of their stuff. So what I want you to do is when you first hop on a
call with somebody, kind of get to know
them and kind of you almost want to bring the
relationship to a level, bring your knowledge
of them up to a level, so you get to know
them because chances are they already kind
of know about you. Get to know who they are,
get to know what they do, get to know what
their business is. And the other things that
I like to ask somebody during this kind of rapport
building session is I'll ask somebody
how they came across me or what they liked
about my content. What was a specific
video that they liked. What this does is, if
this person in front of you there's a 99% chance they
are your ideal customer. So what you want to do
as a marketer, ask them, what about you
caught their eye and what content caught their eye? So that way, you can go ahead. You can make more of it,
and then you can find more of your ideal customer and ultimately make more money. This is basically you want to do a little bit of
market research here, and just very nonchalantly, go, Hey, how did
you hear about me? What made you click on my
video? Whatever it is. Just kind of work that
there into that first kind of quarter of the conversation. Now, next one here is going
to be the project outline. This is the second kind of part of the conversation after I've gotten
to know somebody. I understand why
they're on the call. I take some time here to get to know their business
and get to know their process and get to know what their customers are about and what they deliver
for their customers. At this point, you
want to understand the business outcomes
that they're looking for, right? What do they
want from you? And what do they want to
deliver to their customers, and also what KPIs do
they want to track, or what KPIs can you
suggest that they track? So what this is going to do is this is going
to kind of bring the project into focus as to what the build
is going to be about. Not to mention if you
can demonstrate that you can understand the
outcome that they're after, and you can understand and
suggest different KPIs, key performance indicators
for them to track, it's going to also elevate
your authority and confirm their decision to go
ahead and reach out to you. So you want this to be an active as well as kind of a
listening process, as well. So again, listen to their
wants and their desires, but also add things
of your own to help bring this project
outline up to the next level. After that, you have a good
idea of what they want, you understand the KPIs you want them to track or
they want you to track. You need to now take a good
hard look at it and make a decision whether or not this is something
that you can do. Is this going to require coding? Is this going to require
different platforms? This is going to
require something like make or like Zapier, right? You need to take a
real assessment of your skills and take an assessment of the
outcome that they want. And you have to make a decision, whether this is something,
I can do it, no, I can't, or am I going to
have to reach out to someone else for this one
weird part of the job, one weird part of the build? 'Cause the worst thing
that you can do is say, I can do it when you can't. Because you'll now have
over promise to the person. They will likely have given you a couple thousand dollars, and now you can't
deliver on your work. So that scenario is worst case, and it's going to ruin
your reputation and most likely start a negative word
of mouth cycle about you. And we don't want
that to happen. We want you to be a
well paid professional, and there was nothing wrong, and there was no shame in saying what you want to do is
outside of my limits. If somebody comes to me and somebody wants me
to code something, somebody wants me to
write a piece of code, I'm right up front
with them, and I go, I don't know
how to write code. It's if it's, like, a one element on a page, I can maybe tell them I
can try to use chat GPT, but it is not going to
be top tier work, right? My expertise lies in copy. I lies in the native
high level automations, and it lies basically in
flow, right, customer flow. That is my expertise Lands instead of high level,
and I let them know that. And that's what most people
will come to me for. Now, after you've made the decision of, this is
something that I can do, and you've told them that
this is a job that I can do, no matter how pre sold
they show up on your call, you still need to
ask for the sale. And this is going to
be the hardest part of the entire call. Okay? If you've never done
a sales call before, if you've never asked
for money before, this is going to be the scariest moment
of the entire call. And I'm here to tell you
it doesn't have to be. Because this is not somebody that you all of a
sudden cold call. Now you got them on Zoom
and they're saying, you know, how much time
is this gonna take? This is somebody who's
consumed your content, someone who's
consumed your course, and now they reached out
to you. They showed up. They're here voluntarily. So you don't have to be that good of a salesperson
to close this. You just have to ask them, Hey, this is my price. Is
that cool with you? Can we move forward? It's really all you're
gonna have to do. Right? There has to be there
has to be at some point, you have to ask
them, Hey, do you want to move forward? Is it
cool if we move forward? This is the price. And it
can be just like that. But let me break
down the process that I use to ask that question to move forward and so that I'll get a yes without
much hesitation, not every single time,
but most of the time. Okay, so this is
actually going to be the framework that I use
to ask for the sale. Now, it starts off with
outlining the project. What you're going to want to do is you're going to
outline the project, make sure all of what they
want and what you can do, and then all of the KPIs
you're going to track, just reiterate that all of that stuff is on the same page, and you understand exactly
what they want you to build, and they understand that you know what the heck
you're talking about. Once that's done, then you want to outline
what's called I call your after sale your
after sale policies. So for me, I'll tell people
before I tell them the price. I'll tell people that I'll
go in, I'll build it. And then after I build this, I'll stand by it for 30 days. And if anything breaks, we can make revisions
along the way. So in that 30 day period. So you're never going to get
everyone right all the time. But if people know that for
30 days in their business, if something's not showing right or something's
not working right, even after they've paid, they can reach out to you
and you'll make that right. Think of it like offering
a warranty on your work. It's kind of the way that I want to it's kind of the
way that I frame it. It's almost like a
warranty. So you buy a car, for the first three
years, 36,000 miles. If something breaks, the manufacturer is going
to stand behind it, and they're going to
fix it at no charge. That's what I do. I do a 30 day basically warranty on my
own high level buildw. Next thing, you want to
explain your timeline. So this is very, very important. If you know that a build
is going to take a month, there's no shame in telling the customer this is
going to take 30 days. Don't the worst
thing you can do is to underestimate
a build timeline, and then have a customer
going, Are you done yet? Are you done yet? I'd
almost rather have you say, if you know something's
going to take a month, tell them, Hey, this is going to take 45 days, but I'm confident I'll
do it less than that. But I think it's
going to take 45. Cut it fat, give the
person extra time. So that way, if you finish
early, you look like a hero. So outline the project,
outline the after sale, explain the timeline, and
then you quote your price. So now what you've done is
you've actually said, Hey, this is where you want to
go. I can get you there. This is what's going to happen in the event that
there's a hiccup, and this is how long
it's going to take. And then you'll go
ahead and you'll quote your price after you've
done all that stuff. And for me, typically
when I quote my price, I'll quote my payment terms
along with the price. So I'll say something like, Here's the job. Here's
the after sale. Here's the timeline. That's
going to be a $5,000 job. Typically, what I
do is I'll take $1,500 upfront or I'll
take half upfront, right, depending upon how
I felt the client out. I'll take half upfront, and then I'll take
half upon completion. So what this does is this
actually splits the risk. So if you pay and I disappear, you're only out
half, and if I do the work and you disappear,
I'm only out half. And usually what that'll do is that kind of lowers the
temperature, lowers the tension. Okay, fine. That's cool. So it's no longer about the $5,000. It's now about splitting the payment between
half now and half on delivery that kind of mentally moves their mind away
from the dollars. And also, mentally, it brings their, you
know, the today price. What I have to come up with
today is no longer 5,000. It's only 2,500. And
once you go ahead, do the half and half, I have
most people go, That's fair. I can live with
that. Let's do it. So again, outline your project, make sure they
understand that you understand what they need
and that you can do it. Outline your after sale
kind of warranty policy. After you make
that last payment, I'll stand by it for 30 days in case something goes wrong. This is going to
remove risk from them. And then explain your timeline and be reasonable,
say, Hey, look, this is going to take 30 days
most likely to complete, but I will be in
touch with you along the way. And then
quote your price. This is a $5,000 job. I'll usually take half upfront
and half upon delivery. This way it splits the risk
between the two of us. If you pay me and I disappear,
you're only out half. And if I do the work and you disappear, I'm only out half. And then you just wait. And then you just wait to
see what they say. The next words out
of their mouth are usually something
to the effect. Okay, let's do it.
Once that happens, we still have to close the sale. Alright, once the client says, it's imperative that we
get things signed and get the deposit paid because
money loves speed. So what I want you to do say your pleasantries,
hop off the Zoom, explain to them that
you're going to send them, explain to them that
as soon as you get off the Zoom or as soon as
you hang up the phone, you're going to get you're going to get a contract
over for them to sign, and then there will be more instructions to
get them added to your high level you added to
their high level account, and there's also going
to be invoice to follow. So I tell them, Alright,
cool. Let's do this. As soon as we hang up, I'll get a contract together.
I'll get it sent over. Once that comes
signed and you pay the first invoice, we
can then get to work. What I do after that is as
soon as I close out the Zoom, before I get up out of my chair, I open up the contract
contact record and fill out the project
and contract specifics in that field before I get
up and I make sure I send that contract and send that
agreement before I get up. So at that point, it puts the ball on the record. Most people are going to pay
that within a day or two, and once it gets paid,
you're off to work. You're off to work
delivering that whatever job it
is that you sold. And with that said, I will
see you in the next lesson.
26. Attracting & Closing Leads: The Intake Form: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm going to
talk about the intake form for your consulting calls and
for your discovery calls, what I put on it and why
so that you can have good discovery calls that
lead into paying clients. So to start off here, we got we're in the
form side here. I have this discovery call booking form that
I've attached to your calendar if you use
if you use my snapshot. There's a couple of
things I want to make sure that I put on it without overwhelming without
overwhelming the prospect. I want to add just
a little bit of friction to weed out
the tire kickers, but I also want to get
some more information so that I know what I'm
going to talk about. When they show up on that Zoom, so I'm not going to spend an
hour on the Zoom with them. So on here, we have
our basic full name, email and phone number, but I also have the
organization here. The reason why I put
the organization the company name on here is because if I have a prospect who does not have
a business yet, I've had people
leave this blank. Every single time
this has been left, blankets somebody who does
not have a business yet, and I know that they
might not necessarily be qualified for a
high dollar build. But that doesn't
happen very often. Usually, what'll happen
is I'll have a full name, phone, email, and I'll
have a company name. And what that does, that allows
me to Google the company. I can Google the company. I can go check out
their website, see what they already have and then I can see
now I can think and prepare on ways to improve it when we're sitting here
on the discovery call. So everybody who I've
talked to who's been qualified always fills
out the organization. Everyone fills out
the business name right up front on
the intake call. And then the last
thing here, the notes, I require the notes
field get filled out, and I put it here is, what's the number one thing you want to accomplish
during the meeting? So what this will
do here, again, somebody who is unqualified generally will just put
like one word here, or they'll put
none or just like, you'll kind of know
when this notes field gets filled out that the
person is unqualified. But somebody who's qualified and somebody who knows
exactly what they want, they're going to go ahead and they're going to fill this out, and they're going to
put exactly what they want you to do in
this notes field, and it allows you
to better prepare. And having this field
here has helped me make so many sales just because people are telling me what
they want before they get in. So that way, when
I hop on the call, I know what I'm going
to be building, and I have a good sense
of whether or not I can help them before we
even hop on the Zoom. And as you can tell,
it's a very simple form. I don't have a
whole lot of things on here. I don't have socials. I want to keep the
friction down, but I just want to make sure
I add the organization and add the notes so
that I can it almost acts as a qualifier
as a filter to see the type of
person that's going to be showing up to
that particular call. So, this was a short video, but I want to make
sure that you have this on your form because
these things have helped me not waste my time
giving away free calls. So with that said, I will
see you in the next video.
27. Attracting & Closing Leads: My Contract Walkthrough: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're
going to be going over my personal high level service
work template agreement that I send to clients
for service work. This way, you'll know what
I included in my contract and what I included
in my agreements. That way you can model it. Or if you sign up for high
level using my affiliate link, I'll just send this
over to you as part of the service provider snapshot. So we're in here inside High level, if you
go to payments. If you have the
snapshot, if you go from payments, come down
here in a template. I've included this custom
work agreement here. And once we click on it,
you'll see the agreement. Now, I must preface this by
saying, I am not a lawyer. I'm not your lawyer. This
is not legal advice. This is just what I use, and it seems to have been
working for me so far. So if you want to have
a lawyer go ahead and write one for you or have a lawyer look this one over, be my guest, by no means, is this the one correct way? This is just what
I have been using. I use Chat GPT to come up
with this basic framework, and then I added
things on my own, as I had experience
with different clients, and some clients were
really easygoing, and they actually
gave me some feedback to help make this more
friendly to everyone. So with that said, let's start at the very
top of the agreement, the high level custom
services agreement. Basically what we do up here is we establish the two parties, right, who's the service
provider and who is the client. And you'll see that this uses custom values depending
upon who the client is. So when I go and
attach the client, it just pulls all
their information in. I always have it marked
with today's date. Using right now value. And then what I want to do, the first thing
that I want to do inside of this
agreement is I want to set up the scope of work, right? What am I contractually
obligated to do? Because there will be clients who go in and they want you to do extra work that is not
in the agreement, okay? We do not want to
have that, right? Mission creep, scope creep, whatever it is that you
want to call it is real, and this is going to help
keep you and help you set boundaries with this
is what we agreed to. What you're asking me is
outside the agreement, I'll be happy to do
it for an extra fee. Right? So rather than putting
it all in the top here, what I did was basically
I said everything here was outlined
here in Appendix A, which Appendix A is
on the second page, and this pulls
from that scope of work pulls from that scope
of work custom value, right, the statement
of work custom value from the contact record. So when you outline that
all on the contact record, when you go to
make the contract, it'll pull it all in here. And this is what that looks
like in the contact record. So under the GHLPject Info, you'll see the scope of
work that's right here. This is where you're going
to type out all the details of all the things you're
going to do for the client. So it's going to pull from here and put it over here
into the Appendix A. After that, we want to agree
on a price of the services. So what I do here
is the total cost will be project estimated cost, and that's also going to
pull from here, right? The estimated cost,
or it'll also pull, if you have it set
up the total amount here on the contract itself. So that's what that's going
to pull through there, right? The price
of the services. And if you're doing
a payment plan, you can actually outline
the payment terms in the payment plan down below. But we're just talking about the total price of the services. So we're agreed on
what we're going to do at what total price. Payment terms, you'll see
this right see appendix. I put it down here
on the appendix, and I want to be
paid either ACH, wire, credit or
debit card, right? I want to make sure
that I make it flexible that they
can hand me money. Coming down here
into the appendix, so here's the payment terms. So generally, what this will
do as I'll outline, it says, pay the initial
deposit of this upon acceptance of the agreement with balance due on completion. So typically, what
I'll try to do, I'll try to do half upfront
and half on completion, and then I'll outline that
here in the payment terms. And I generally adjust these for each client because
most of my deals, they are negotiated one
off, right, one at a time. I started half and half. Sometimes people want
to make three payments. I think I did four
payments once, but it was a really
big contract. And there was a lot of
milestones that had to get hit. I try not to do any more
than three payments, but I generally
try to start with two if I don't get paid upfront. So you're going to put that here inside the payment terms. So now we know what we're doing, how aren't we're doing it for, what the payment terms are. Now what we want to do is we
want to set the expectations in terms of when delivery can be expected to be completed. So, right here, I said, the
expected completion date is 45 days, 30 days after the initial
payment is received, and that also pulls
from where is it? Pulls from here, estimated
days until completion, right? So this custom value
here it pulls from here. And then the service
provider will also make every reasonable effort
to make this on time. I put this clause in
here kind of as an out. So if I say it's
going to be 30 days, and then the client
doesn't send me any logins for 20 days, it's not happened,
but it can, right? They can just not send
you what you need. Well, that's not on
me. When 30 days comes up and they go, How
come you aren't done yet. So that's why I put this here. I tell them every
reasonable effort to deliver by the date, subject to timely receipt of all necessary
client materials, basically saying, if you
don't send me what I need, you don't send me logins,
you don't send me assets. And if I can't work, basically, if I can't get it done by the
deadline, that's not on me. And also any delays
will be fully communicated to the
client along the way. So if I'm running into
something that becomes a support issue
where I'm sending a ticket into high level, I'm going to let them know
that, and I also put that here in the agreement that if there's any
delays, I'll let you know. Now, limitation of liability. This is probably where you most want to get a lawyer involved
to take a look at it, but I try to be as plain
English as possible, saying the service provider, me, will not be liable
for any website downtime loss of data or any damages that occur after
delivery of the website. So I'm going to build them
a website on high level. Once I deliver
them that website, if the website goes down, it's not on me, right? It's on high level,
right? I say, right here. I said, the services are simply taking place on top of the existing high level environment. So again, I deliver it to them, it's working ten days
after I deliver them, all of a sudden
their website goes down because high
level went down. They can't come
after me, because again it's a high level
problem. It's not a me problem. All sensitive client
data, logins, passwords will be deleted after work is complete
and not retained. So I do ask that
everybody remove me as a user on their high level
account after we're done. Not everybody does so, but I have it here in the agreement that I asked you to
delete all of my stuff. I'm not going to retain
anything on my side, but some people will leave you on as a
user on their side, which for me is wild,
but it happens. I also recommend that everybody creates temporary
passwords for all accounts that I need access to because I don't want people's
real passwords. Make up a fake one that
we're gonna use for this if you want to get me
into your Google account. I don't want to be
trusted. I don't want to be responsible for
your real passwords. So I put this in here to say if someone gives
me a real one, I can say, Look, I asked for a temporary
one in the beginning. Same thing here.
Service provider does not guarantee
any specific results. So you are doing
work for an agency, you're implementing
what they want. You're not necessarily
you're not giving them a framework that has promised
to grow their sales. So I put this one here is that I don't guarantee any
specific results, including website traffic
or conversion rates. So again, I'll make
suggestions along the way. But ultimately,
everything's going to be built to the client spec. So this isn't like coaching
Is isn't like this is a coaching framework that I know works and I'm
implementing with them. This is something
that the customer wants, and I'm
building it for them. Intellectual property rights. Now, this one actually went back and forth with
a couple of clients. So basically, all work that you produced for the
service provider, this is going to be
their IP, right? You're not creating
your own IP for them. However, I had to
add this one here that the service provider can create similar frameworks
for their clients as well. Before I had that, if I basically had a simple
opt in funnel, right? The client under that clause
could say that, well, you can't build an opt in
funnel for anybody else, which for me was like, no. So I'm going to build
this for other people. So I just wanted to make
sure I had that I can create similar famis for other
client accounts as well. But it is, again, anything
that I make any websites that I make for you are yours
when we turn the keys over. Termination. This is something if I had to take I've only had to terminate one
contract and it was actually the client that
reached out to me and said, I can't complete this contract. Basically, seven days notice, they send me, let me know,
Hey, I can't complete this, or I write to them, Hey, I can't complete this
in seven days, and we kind of basically
walk away from the contract. In the event of a
termination, basically, client is responsible for proportional payment
of all services. So typically in the situation
where I had one cancel, they paid me half upfront. And I got about halfway done. And then they initiated
they basically said, I can't complete this payment. I said, It's fine. You paid
me half. I did about half. We called it quits, and I
didn't collect the other half. Same thing here is that if they pay you all
the way upfront, and this is just being a
nice, you know, kind human. If they pay you all
the way upfront, or they pay you way
more than half upfront, you get into this and you're
like, I can't do this, and you've only done 10%? Well, you're going to refund whatever proportion
that you didn't use. So again, let's say that
they paid you for all of it. You only did half and you
said, I can't do this anymore, you're still responsible to refund your half that
you didn't complete. So again, is part of being a good human part of protecting your reputation in the space. So I put this in here also to spread risk
between both parties. And then also here, any disputes will be
settled informally. However, neither party's
compensation will exceed the contracted amount. So we can't go suing
people back and forth. So you can't sue people
for punitive amounts. Basically, look, we have
the agreement here, if for whatever reason,
basically, either one of us, either you'll be
contracted to pay me the whole amount if I
feel that whatever, or I'll be my liability is the whole amount
of the contract. I don't want someone all
of a sudden saying, Oh, by the way, your thing cost
me $100,000 in business. I'm suing you for $100,000. So that's why I
put that in there. In that kind of same heading, this agreement constitutes
the entire agreement, so there's no side deals
that need to be signed. Everything that we talked about
is on this one agreement. Also, any modifications must be in writing and
signed by both parties, so you can't unilaterally
change the deal. And then I have this
one here governed by the state of the laws of
the state that I'm in. I'm in Pennsylvania, so the state laws are in Pennsylvania. That's just how that works. I read Chat GPT told me I
had to have that in there. I put it in there, but
again, I'm no lawyer. And then I just have the signatures down
here at the bottom. I've got my signature,
which I usually sign first. I've always signed everything first and then give it
to the client to sign. And they kind of sign down here, and then coming down is
the appendix that we had. Now, because this is
behind the signature, I make sure to include initials on the bottom of
every single page. This isn't a thing that I
learned from the car business that you want to have
initials on every page, which basically can hold
up in court, and it says, the individual who signed the first page has
seen every other page. That's why I have
that there. So make sure you've got
your initials and their initials on the bottom of the appendix or any
other pages you add. And then in addition
to the signature here on the actual,
simple agreement itself. Down here, again, in
terms of payment terms, I just have service work, adjust your price for your
first deposit, 1,500, $2,500, whatever it is. I have this one here
set in the payments, so I enable direct payment. So what happens is
when they sign this, it takes them to a payment screen where they
can pay it right away, which I've covered
in a previous video. But that's all I wanted
to do for this one. I wanted to walk you
through my agreement, why the stuff is there. And if you want to modify it, use it, steal it, do
whatever you want to do. I'll see you in the next video.
28. Attracting & Closing Leads: Setting Payment Terms: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this lesson, I want to talk about the payment structure for your hire ticket bills and how to make them equitable
for both parties, but also make sure that you
get paid what you're worth. So I first want to start
this lesson out by saying that you should try to get
paid in full whenever you can. Paid in full clients are great. Those are the ones that are
going to trust you to do the although in the beginning, you probably will not be able to get a whole lot
of paid in fulls. So what you'll have
to do is you'll have to do some basic
payment plans in the beginning and not so much that the people
don't have the money. It's because you
generally haven't earned the trust of the market yet
that you're going to deliver. So here's generally
what I would do. So let's kind of
go in, talk about some payment structures
and how they work and how they spread the
risk around between you and you and your client. So the first thing, obviously, what we would like to do
would be to get paid in full on a $5,000 build. And we'll call that one
there paid in full. But again, this generally does not happen
in the beginning. So instead, what we'd like to do is we'll kind of
spread the risk, the first shot that
I'll take during a negotiation when I go through
and I ask for the sale. I'll tell a client
that I'll say, Hey, this looks like a $5,000 build, and generally what I
do is I'll collect half upfront and then
half on delivery. And so this spreads the
risk between both parties. And I tell them I
don't tell them that I'll do half and half because I don't think
you have the money, although a lot of
people, fair amount of people might come through and not have the full
five grand upfront, which is fine, right? Someone's going to hire you and they want to pay
you, that's fine. Generally, what I'll
do is I'll go into here and I'll ask
for $2,500 upfront, and then on completion,
another 2,500. And again, this will
spread the risk so that if the person pays
you and you disappear, which you're not
because you're a professional, it protects them. Basically, it takes
their risk in half. So they're still holding
on to half the money in the event that you disappear. But also, you're
protecting yourself because you're getting half
upfront instead of saying, Oh, just pay me on delivery, and then you complete
the whole thing, and all of a sudden
they ghost you. So that's the other side
of that coin that you want to protect yourself from people
trying to get free work. Do not, do not do not do work
for what I call zero down. Make sure that somebody pays
at least something upfront. And if you're going
to do a payment plan, don't backload all
of the payments. There probably the longest payment structure
that I'm going to do is going to be milestone
based during the job, right? You don't ever want
to complete a job with more than 30%
of your balance due. So generally, this is
what I would do if someone said no to the 25 and 2,500, right, half and half. So generally, the next step
that I would do, and again, this is as many payments
as I would make, I would go for $1,500 upfront, and then along the way at
probably the midway point, right the halfway point, I would ask for
another 2000 and then come down and finish
off with another 1,500. That's the biggest payment
plant that I would do. And this would be,
I mean, 50% ish. Right? 50% ish
completed of the job. So if we were
building, let's say, a full SAS build, right, we're setting up
their high level agency, we're setting up their
company sub account, and we're setting up
their customer snapshot, I would ask for that $2,000. I would ask for
that money after I completed the agency and
the company's sub account. I would make sure that I
got paid the 2000 before I started the customer
snapshot itself, right? I would ask for the final 1,500 after everything
was signed off on, and that customer
snapshot was completed. So that's generally
how we're going to do. So this would be, again, 0%, 0%, and this is going to be
100% of the job completed. And that's just about it. This is going to
be a short video. This is how I do my
payment structures. People are very receptive to it. I do the bulk of mine, the bulk of mine are
this half and half, but if I have to, if the person is either
short on cash or they want to see more of a they want to see more of
a payment structure, I'll go to the 1,500,
21,500 on completed. So hope that helps, and I will see you
in the next video.
29. Attracting & Closing Leads: How To Make Contracts in GHL: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm going
to show you how to create your very own documents
and contracts inside of high level with
the help of Chat GPT, to create your own
invoice and to create your own custom work agreement for your clients if you
don't want to use mine. So the process that I did
to create mine, though, is I started over
here at Chat GPT, and I basically asked it. You started off
with this prompt. I said, I need a plain
language contract for doing custom website work in the
O high level ecosystem. I'd like to protect
myself from liability while not making it
one sided in my favor. What do you need for me
to generate such a thing? Now, I don't remember
where I first saw this, but asking Chat on
your first prompt, what else do you need
for me to do this? It's absolute gold. Because Chat will now tell
you things that you need. And you'll probably and you'll probably recognize if you've
watched my contract video, a lot of this is a lot
of this is the same. What we'll do is
we'll kind of go through this one here,
parties involved, your business name, how the
client wants to be referred, client customer, scope of
work, what will happen. Generally, what services
you'll provide. I basically I just use the appendix so that I can put that in the customer record. Payment terms,
revisions and changes. Essentially, what we're
going to do is I'm going to answer some of
these here off camera, and then I'll come back and we'll see what hat
GPD spits out, and then we'll go ahead. We'll build it inside
of high level. All right, so what
I've done is I've actually spent a couple minutes. I think it was about five to
10 minutes answering some of these questions in terms
of the parties involved. What I did here is I put my
business here is Do Bevo, and I would like the
client to be referred to as a client instead
of a customer. I told him, I'll
provide the services that are listed in a
separate appendix, because, again, we want
to list everything out. It's going to be different
for every type job. The payment terms
will be based on a total project price with
an upfront deposit of 50%. And again, we can always
make this a variable later. The balance will be
paid upon completion. I'm going to include unlimited
revisions for 30 days after completion
until the project is working as expected. I know I kind of open myself up here for a lot
of unpaid work, but if you are a
professional and you know and you understand what the
client's looking for, they'll be happy that you stand behind your work for 30 days. And if you know what
you're doing, you're probably going to get it
right the first time. Five, the client client will need to provide all
their login details, but I'm also going to say I'm also going to make
the recommendation that they send me
temporary stuff, right? I'm not going to retain any of anything
that they give me. I'll make sure to
complete my projects in 30 days from the
initial deposit. And if there's any delays,
I will let the client know, and I'll make every
effort to complete it. Number seven here
when we're talking about the ownership and
intellectual property, I'll transfer full
rights to the client, but reserve the right to build something similar
for future clients, right? There's no non compete
clauses in this agreement. I'll not liable for
downtime because, again, it's all taking on
place on top of high level. And then either party can cancel with seven days written notice. If we cancel this,
the refund will be proportional to the
amount of work completed. And then, again,
we'll start to settle these disputes informally, but move to small claims court. And I'm also telling Chat
that there's no NDA needed, but also force a
force majeure clause. Put one in there as well. So what I'm going to
do now is I'm going to tell Chat this
is what they need. Now what it's going to do,
it's going to actually write this and give me something I can now copy into high level. And again, if you want to have a lawyer take a look
at this, great. I haven't I haven't
needed it yet. We're gonna let
Chat do its thing and come back when hat's done. Alright, so hat's gone
ahead and done its thing. And what we're going to do now for the sake of this video, I want to show you
kind of how it works. And this is this is not
a law document video. I'm going to go ahead. I'm gonna copy everything here from Chat. It gives you those
little signature lines. We're going to copy it. Now we're going
to come here into our documents and templates, and we're going to
create a new template. So we've got template.
We can hit New, we're going to say new template. Now we are going to do I call it high level custom
work agreement. And now what we're going
to do is we're going to paste as plain text. But first, we have to add
a text element in here. So, you got to add
a text element. I get rid of all that, and now I come in here and I
paste as plain text. If you paste regular paste, sometimes you get the chat GPT kind of gray
background on there. So generally, what I'll do
is paste this plain text, but in this case,
it did not happen. So what I will do here, I'm going to go ahead and
I'm going to save this. Now what I'm going
to do here to create my contract is I'm going
to start scrubbing this contract with
certain fields that were basically scrub
these fields and put them as custom values
for the client. So, for instance, client
over here is going to be will go, I just
remember this here. It's going to be
contact dot NAM. We're going to
basically just take the high level custom field, put that one there,
and now it's going to pull the client's
name there as well. Between me,
developer, actually I don't like the term developer because I'm not a developer. I do service provider. I do service provider there. So it's agreement between
service provider and client services
listed in Appendix A, and I will say something
like next page, A work beyond the
scope of Appendix A requires a separate agreement. Fine. Payment terms, total project price will be agreed upon before work begins. I will say total project price is and then I'll go and I'll make that
custom value there. I think I put it is
we'll go into here. Where is up here. Custom values. Come up here into custom values, you go to contact, on the bottom here, I
have custom fields. Oh, 'cause I'm in
a sandbox account. I don't actually have it. So what you'll do is you'll
basically go up here, you'll go up here
into your contact, and you'll go to your custom
fields on the bottom, and then you will see
something in here that says contract or you might have
to make the custom field, but if you want to make a custom field for your
contract, you'll do it, and you'll basically just
go into there and say, let's just go contact type. You want to do is
you want to put your custom field right there. 50% deposit is required before work starts and
basically go through this, make sure something is here. But, for instance, 30 days, I'll scrub this and I'll go and I'll put another one of
those custom values. So anything that you see on
this particular agreement, that can be a variable
from deal to deal. Go ahead and make a
custom value for it. Make a custom field
so that you can tweak that customer to
customer without having to tweak and create
a whole new agreement. That's kind of what I want
you to get from this video. Go make your thing over and
chat, bring it in here, and then anywhere that
you see something that could vary from
customer to customer, make it a custom field. So this will generate
and you can send it from customer to customer, and again, you don't have to create a new template
every single time. That high level does have that capability, which is awesome. Coming down here
into signature is I can come over here. We
can go add an element. We can add the
signature over here. I generally just don't
like how small this is. So I'll just use a
couple of enters there. Oh, let's come up here. I'm gonna bring a
signature there. And then you can also use this and make
them smaller if you want. So you can bring
that one down there. Put that one there, and I'll
just copy the signature, bring it down here
for the client. And then same thing
with the date. So for dates, what I'll do here, I'll bring the date into there. Date down there, date down here. And you'll see over here. And you'll see right now
once you get it all in, it's all the contacts. So what you're going
to do is you're going to select the one for you and you have to make sure
that you to be signed by you. I'll make it a different color, or else it'll it'll make
the contact sign twice. So it goes in there
filled by you. So now you've got signature,
you've got date of yours, and then on the next
page with the agreement, you can make another initial. So what we want to do
is we want to basically add a page and then
come over to here. Again, we had Appendix A. And then what I'll
do, if you see the other video where I
have my template in there, I'll add something
here that's like contact, scope of work. I walk you through
it in another video, but I put that there
so I can write this big long write this big long, not so
much a dissertation, but a big long list of all the
work that I'm going to do, and it'll outline it here on the contract without
making this up here, number one, a mile long. So I put my appendix A of what my scope of
work is going to be. So that's there. And since
I put an extra page, I want to make sure
that I have initials on every single page. So I'll go here into initials. I make sure I have
two initials fields, one for me, one
for the customer. So I come over there. That's me. We're going to go ahead.
We're going to save. And generally good practice, you want to have any
additional page, you want to have that initialed
by the client, as well. Now, when it comes to payment to enable the payment settings, what you want to do is enable
direct payment over here, but you need to make you need to add a payment element here so that when
they go to sign it, it brings them to a payment. So what we're going to do here
is going to add an element here that is product list. Add the product list in here. And then what you're going
to do is you're going to add an item, and you're
going to add a product. And since this is
a sandbox account, there's going to be
no products here. So what I can do is I
can add a new item, and I can say high level work or custom work or something
like that, right? Whatever you want to
call, what you do. Custom work. There we go. And now the product type, this
is going to be a service. And I will say initial
deposit of $2,500. And actually, we'll save
this for later use. Now we can say, custom work
inside your GHL account. Add new item. So now what we have here is we've
got description. We've got our title. We've got this. They know what they're going to be
here on the initial deposit. They know everything
that's going to be there. They've got the appendix of
what the scope of work is, and they've also initialed
it here as well. When that's over here, we can basically go
ahead and hit Save. And now we have a template of a contract we can
use now with people, we can use this in automations.
We can use this for work. And it's going to
make it really, really easy that we can go
ahead and send this out. So hope you enjoyed this video.
I showed you the process. This is the process that I use to create my custom
work agreement, if you want to make
a different one. That's how you're going to do if there's terms
that you want to include inside your process. So, I will see you
in the next video.
30. Attracting & Closing Leads: Getting Leads From YouTube: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, I'm
going to touch on some YouTube basics and kind of the YouTube basic strategy
so you can start using YouTube to attract clients
for your service business. Now, let me get started by saying, at the end
of this video, this is not going to be
a full YouTube tutorial. I could do a whole
another course on YouTube, an entire workshop. In fact, at the end
of this lesson, I'll actually link to another
workshop that I have for. But you're going
to leave here with my strategy that creates daily organic lead flow from YouTube and kind of
understand the big picture, which creates success
for me on YouTube. This is going to be a tops of the waves presentation,
but again, there's going to link
something at the end that goes really deep on all of this if you
really want to go dive all in on YouTube. First off, why YouTube? I do YouTube because
I get 3-10 leads every single day completely
organically from YouTube. This is actually
my lead flow graph for the second half of 2024. And from these leads
here I can directly attribute over $50,000 in sales, and it has increased my brand
equity more than anything. A lot of people in the
high level world know who I am because of YouTube. In fact, Frank Kern knows
who I am because of YouTube. In fact, Frank Kern knows
who I am because of YouTube. Back in May of 2024, at the Mastermind, the
Advanced Mastermind, Frank was the keynote speaker. And he gave a really,
really good speech. And I went up to
introduce myself to him after the bar at
the bar afterwards, and basically say that
his keynote speech was basically essentially
what I was experiencing, and I wanted to
thank him for that. And before I was able
to introduce myself, he stops me and goes,
Hey, I know you. I watch your YouTube videos. Hey, Dom, knew my name, everything, and I
was like, Okay. That was a recalibration
moment for me that YouTube
is the way to go. And the eyes that are on YouTube are very, very qualified. Basically, Frank explained
to me that he watches a lot of YouTube content on high level to see what's
being put out there, saw my stuff, and thought
my stuff was good. So I'm on his radar
because of YouTube. Again, why YouTube. I like YouTube because the
content it's harder to put content out on YouTube than it is short form like TikTok
or Instagram Reels. Because it's harder, there's
less people doing it, and there's even less
people doing it well. So if you can crack the nut to create quality
YouTube content, you're going to have probably a tenth of the
competition as you would if you're putting
content out there on something like TikTok or
something like Instagram Reels. The other thing about
YouTube was that it's steady traffic. You
saw that lead graph. It's every single
day. Leads come in, and usually that was only
on about 20 or so videos. So one video can spit
off leads for years. And again, I've had over 200 plus days of getting at least one video
or one lead per day. So it's been steady, consistent
traffic to my offers. And it's also qualified traffic. I mean, obviously,
Frank Kern's watching, but Frank Kern's
not my customer. Although as a service
provider, maybe he might be. YouTube is by far my highest converting traffic
source across everything. The people who are watching
YouTube are qualified. They've got money to
spend. They've got problems that they
want to solve. And they're already kind
of in that DIY education. How do I solve this
problem mindset? And if they come
across somebody, they have more time they have more money
than they have time. They might find the
right video and find the right person to hire, and
that person might be you. Now, when I create a
YouTube video to get the maximum reach
on my YouTube video so that it generates the
most amount of leads, I have a couple of goals, and they're really,
really simple goals. Number one, I want
people to go ahead. I want people to click
on my video, okay? If people don't
click on your video on YouTube, they're
not gonna watch it. It's not like TikTok.
It's not like Instagram where they're just
scrolling through a feed. I mean, YouTube has shorts, but the majority of my leads
come from my long videos. And those ones don't
automatically play. So we want to get
people to click. Number two, I want
to get them to watch at least 50% of the video. Now, as much as I
would love to have somebody watch 100% of my video, it just doesn't
happen that often. And generally, if
you have, you'll see I'll dive it in my
stats here in a second. But if you can get somebody
to watch 50% on average, your video is going to fly and you're going to get
a ton of reach. And now, number three,
this is arguably the most important goal of a video is that I want them to watch a second video of mine. It's really nice to get
views on the first, but my biggest goal here is to get them to
watch the second, and in a few minutes, I'll
show you why that is. And then finally, SEO, right? SEO is a backseat
consideration for me. You shouldn't really put
too much emphasis on SEO, other than making
sure that YouTube will know what your
video is about, because it's actually
not where the bulk of my views come from. And if you're
optimizing for SEO, you're putting 100% of your
effort into YouTube SEO, you're leaving a lot of
other views on the table. So, top into here.
Let's go through these. Number one, get them to click. Like I said before. If they don't click the video, they
can't watch the video. You could have the best
video in the world. If they don't click,
they're not going to watch. What? What is going to affect the click or basically
the click through rate? If you see this over here,
this is my click through rate here at 5.9%
over the past year. The biggest levers on
increasing this and driving this is going to be your video
thumbnail and your title. We'll go over a little bit
more later in the video, but your thumbnail and
your title are going to be the biggest driver of what
drives this number up here. And let me leave you here
with a good benchmark. So video CTR over six is good. I'm just below that,
but I'm kind of in the ballpark where I'm good. If you can get over 10%
on a video, that's great. You should not try to optimize
that video CTR anymore. You don't want to be
tracing 20, 30, 40%. You'll never get there.
Again, anything over six is, I consider a good
passable video, but over ten is a really good performing video in terms
of click through rate. As you come over here, you'll see these are
some of my better ones. I actually took
all of my videos, sorted them by
click through rate. My average is 5.8,
and then you'll see my top ones are 13.7, 13.3. Now, number two, get
them to watch 50%. So what I've done here is
I've actually sorted all of my videos here by views,
right, over the past year. And why? Because like
short form video, high watch percentage
indicates quality. So if you've been on Instagram reels or you've been on TikTok, people are talking about make a seven second video
with a lot of text. So by the time they
read all the text, the videos looped and you
get that high watch time, and it gets pushed. Same concept, but you can't do it with 7
seconds on YouTube. You have to hook people's
attention for multiple minutes. As you'll see here, my average view
duration is 5 minutes, but my most watched
video is 6 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes. And the percentages of
those videos are about 30%, with this one being 54%. So you want to get people
to watch. The goal is 50. But I say, as a goal, you want to get
there to kind of 30. But the biggest lever
on this is going to be the hook and your pacing. So if you can hook somebody, make a promise in
the beginning of the video that you're going to fulfill on throughout the video, you're basically
hooking them to watch the whole thing. You're
giving them a reason. And then the pacing, you want to keep
your pacing up high enough to where
they're interested. If you drag too slowly, you'll lose people's
attention and they'll go. But if you're too hyper ADHD, they're not going to be
able to handle you and they're going to click and
find it to somebody else. So you want to keep your pacing, you want to keep
your energy up but not too up in the video. Again, this is something
that's going to come with time and just
getting reps in. But hook and pacing
is what's going to what's going to pull
optimize your watch time. Now, benchmark. Again, I said, 30% completion at least, right? As a bare minimum,
you'll see I'm kind of in that 30% on most of these. 50% is ideal. If you can hook somebody, if you can have
average person watch 60% of your video,
you're like Mr. Beast level up there. That's
going to be phenomenal. So again, 30, 50 and 60 should be the benchmarks that you're kind of looking at. Number three, get them
to watch two videos. Now, I talk about this
now, too, right? Why? Because two videos increases
your session time. There's a stat that
YouTube tracks that unfortunately they don't
make public to the creators, but it's called
their session time. And that is basically time
spent on your channel. So if I have two or three
or four videos out there, let's say I have two
videos on my channel. Somebody comes and they spend
5 minutes on Video one, and they spend 5
minutes on Video two. That would mean that
they had a ten minute session time on my channel. Now, we want to have session
time as high as possible. That's going to tell
the YouTube algorithm that this person's
interested in my videos. So then more of my videos are going to get
served to that person. You've probably seen the
same thing if you go and bingja Creator's
videos on short form, and then for, like,
the next two days, all you see is that
person's videos. It's the same thing. Now, the biggest levers
on this to increase your session time
are going to be your end cards and
your linked videos. I'll show examples of these
later on the presentation. But basically, whenever
you hear a creator, go, Oh, go, by the way, check out this video, or, Hey, there's a video over
here, go check it out. They're trying to increase
their session time. Now, unfortunately,
again, like I said, this is not public to creators. You don't know what your
average session time is, but YouTube has confirmed
that they track it. So again, you really just want to want to input
those end cards and those links whenever
you can to get to encourage people to watch a
second video on the channel. So you can link them in your description, link
them in the end screen, link them in the little
cards that show up in the corner, right,
wherever it is. Now, I said before that SEO
is a backseat consideration. Here's why. These are my
views over the last 365 days, and you'll see that YouTube
search is only 29% of it. That means that what 71% of my views come from
outside of search. So why would I put 100% of my energy into only a
third of the views? Now, to optimize a video, the biggest levers of
this are your title, your tags, and your
description, right? So YouTube's going to look at those three
spots to determine what a videos about
and how it wants to index it in its
search algorithm. And again, just kind of know
what that video is about. Now, as a benchmark to see whether or not I've
done SEO right, seeing the video gets
some search views. If I see that on the
video traffic sources and I see it come from search, that just means that I have
the video indexed right. So again, there's
not a whole lot of consideration here done on SEO. Now, why does this work, right? Why does YouTube and why does basically pushing SEO
to the side work? Number one, we've got the TikTok ification of everything, right? Tik Tok back in 2020, really kind of shifted the
whole social algorithm on its head when they went with the interest graph rather
than the social graph. So pre Tik Tok, it
was who you knew. Your videos went to
your subscribers. They went to your friends. They went to people
who follow you. And that was kind of it, right? Tik Tok came on and they said, Hey, we don't care if
anyone follows this person. If they're interested
in this topic, we're going to show it to them. And that's kind of and all the other platforms
have followed suit, YouTube being no exception. And again, if you look at my homepage versus
my search fuss, 71% of my views come from
other than search views. So I don't get discouraged when I go find a popular topic, find a popular term,
and see that it's ten channels with 1 million followers taking
up all the spots. I know I'm never going
to rank for that, but in that topic,
I'll get recommended. I'll get suggested. We'll
talk about that in a second. Proof of this is I actually had a YouTube workshop
a few months back, and I asked everybody
how they found me. And I asked everybody, Okay, who here searched my name or searched for
one of my videos, and they came across
me on YouTube, and not a single person
raised their hand. I was suggested to
everybody by the algorithm. So at that point,
I just, you know, at that point, I kind of shifted everybody's thinking
onto how they found me. And again, no one
searched for me. So SEO is good, but it's not the number
one consideration when making a YouTube video. Okay, here's where
the 71% comes from. I've got these three spots. Number one is your homepage. So this was my home page
when I went and logged in. I only at this point, when I took this snapshot, I was only subscribed
to Vin Wiki, and I was only subscribed
to Alex Homose. All of Attorney Tom
Business Royds. That's an ad. Bellular
news and Mario, I were not I was not subscribed
to any of these channels, but YouTube saw that I was interested in
some of those topics, so that it basically
just recommended those videos from people who
I was not subscribed to. This is where a lot of
my views come from. People who are not subscribed, then I show up on this page. Now, suggested Okay, suggested is going to be the videos here on
the right side. So as I'm watching one of
Alex's videos over here, here other John Coogan,
not subscribe to him. Okay? I am subscribed to Alex. I am subscribe to Doug and
I am subscribed to Alex. But you'll see you do get shots here at Extra, new
discovery here. So this is also
where my views will come from on suggested. But this is also
a powerful spot. I'll show you later
on in the lesson. Up next, at the end of videos, little you've got these little
end cards that are here. This is another part
of where a lot of my views are going to come
from on that up next. So this is actually a breakdown of how
my views come from. So, as you'll see, Browse features, that is the home page. That's that first
page I showed you. That's where most of
my views came from. Then followed by search,
then followed by suggested. And then we've got other
YouTube features all kind of down the bottom
here on the end screens as the up next. But Browse and suggested
are the top ones. This is where the bulk of your views are
going to come from. However, up next is what is
going to make the sales. So what I've done here
is I've sorted by views, and you'll see here
sorted by views. This is where they
come from. Now if I sort by average
view duration, right, average view duration
being people who are most engaged with
my content, right? They're further down
that marketing funnel. They're closer to being able to buy. Look where it
all comes from. It comes from end screens. It comes from suggested videos. It comes from playlists, right? Search isn't even on there. Even somebody who
literally searched the term that my
video was about is not as engaged as when someone gets suggested
that second video. And you'll see my average
view duration is 5 minutes. These ones here are
7.5 minutes, right? Almost 2 minutes more than the first video they watch of me because
they're used to me, they're comfortable
with my style, and they're gonna watch
that second video. And this is where
a lot of my this is where a lot of
my sales come from. Now, here's how to
get on those screens. Number one, make videos on
relevant and popular topics, regardless of
search competition. Now, I say this because I see a lot of newer YouTube
creators kind of come in. They look to see, they
look for a search term. They see that it's kind of populated with a bunch
of big channels, and they go, I'm not
going to rank for that. I'm not going to make the video. So what happens is they end they end up going after some
really obscure search term that gets like 50
searches a month that's really not related
to anything that they sell, and they're just making
these kind of off the beaten path obscure videos just because they think that
they can rank for them. So you end up making
hundreds of videos and only getting a small
amount of subscribers, small amount of views, and
a small amount of sales. Instead, what we want
to do is we just want to jump into
the popular topics, jump into the conversation
because, again, you'll get recommended
on the homepage, even even though you're not ranking for the actual
search term itself. Again, SEO is only so that
you get indexed correctly. So if somebody's been
watching a lot of videos on how to grow
a YouTube channel, you're probably
as a new channel, never going to rank for that. But if you say how to grow a YouTube channel and
someone's been searching that before and watching
consuming content, YouTube's going to
serve your video to them the next time
that they log in. And if you have a good thumbnail and title, you're
gonna get clicked. Once we pop up, right?
Once we pop up, it's all about
getting the thumbnail and title to get clicked. This is my most popular, my most successful to date thumbnail and title combination. This was at 13.7 CTR. Um, my thumbnail here, I make my O face. It works. If you go to my channel, you
probably see I use this face in most of my thumbs because
it just always performs. I don't think I've gotten
less than an 8% CTR when I use this style of thumb. So I'm just going
to keep using it. I also in the thumbnail, I show the result that
the person wants. So how I got approved for Amazon Influencer in seven days, I have a screenshot of the dashboard of when
they get approved. So this is the result they want. This is what they want to see on their screen. Also, my face. I'm always looking at
the camera, right? People want to see a human
connection with the camera, so you want to make sure that
you're always looking at the camera in your thumbs. And then perspective,
kind of having, like, the hand up front
with my face in the back generally always works, whether I'm holding up a phone, I'm holding up a dashboard, having something or if I'm in the foreground
with something behind me, that'll work, too. Now, title, how I versus H two. By me saying how I got approved for Amazon Influencer
in seven days, I'm making the claim
that I did it. If I'm saying how
to get approved, it's saying it doesn't
necessarily imply that I did it. So, especially in the education
space, it's going to, uh People want to see how I more than how
two because it implies that the person making
the content has actually done the thing that they are teaching the audience. It's a small little
nuance change, but it carries a
lot more weight. And then also, I use
these little parentheses to knock down common objections. At the time I made this video, there was there was a
popular method of getting approved by buying old
Instagram accounts, which no longer works. So I would say this. I said free method because buying
an account costs money. So what I was doing is
I was knocking down an objection with
my title there. Now, once they click, right? So we've popped up. We've got them to click. Now
the clock is going to start. We want to get
them to watch 50%. First thing that we
want to do is we want to confirm the thumbnail. So this is the first, like
5 seconds of that video. This video is gonna show you exactly how to
get approved for the Amazon Influencer
program and also show you how to get that
elusive onsite approve. So if you saw that there, it's actually showing them
how to get approved. The first sentence
out of my mouth was this video is going to
show you how to get approved. So the title said
how to get approved. My first sentence said
how to get approved. They're like, Alright, I
clicked on the right video. So I've confirmed the thumbnail in the first, like, 5 seconds. If you're doing something
like a software review or something like a
high level build video, if you open the first frame
inside of the software, so this is a webinar jam review that I did. This is
the first frame. If you show the
inside dashboard, people are going to watch
longer because they know that you're not just going to talk
about it as a talking head, you're going to go in dive into the weeds and kind of show
them how to do something. So that's a very
popular thing as well. Again, if you're doing
a software review or like a how to really
technical how to, showing inside, like,
the first second, showing the actual
software itself will work. And if you do this right,
this is what that looks like. So this is actually
that successful video. We've got 65% of people staying through
the first 30 seconds, and then I retain
them for most of the video with this
nice big tabletop. And you'll see my average view percentage up here at 54.3. So this was a really good video. This video flew. And this is what you kind of want your retention
graph to look like. If you're making videos
and you're having people drop off and then they're
retaining through the bottom, like mine were, that's a really good indication that you're teaching right and you're keeping
people through. You just have to work on your hook a little
bit, which was me. I had really big Ls people were dropping off in 30
seconds but then staying. So change up my hooks, and now I got graphs like this. Once they've watched
your first video, you want to get them to
watch a second video. So you'll see, I call this
killing the Island, right? So you never want to post
just one outlier on a topic. And visually, this is
what that looks like. So, let's say that you
make business videos, you make high level
videos, right? You make more business videos, and then all of a
sudden you're kind of feeling bored with
making business videos. So you go ahead and you
make a fitness video. Well, This video is always
going to flop because there's
nothing for YouTube basically to
recommend behind it. So they're not going to show
it to a whole lot of people. So instead, if you wanted to make a fitness video
on your channel, make sure you make three or four different fitness videos
and kind of make a cluster. So now YouTube can
recommend and suggest all of these videos behind each other and get you more views, and then it'll actually
push out that'll push out the whole
cluster together. How I figured this one
out was with my video, my first video on high level. So you've probably seen
this video on my channel. For the first 29
days, it did nothing. I think I got 100
views in 29 days. But in that 29 days, I put two more high
level videos out, and then all of a sudden
they got picked up and they started and they basically started
collecting views. All three of them kind of
rose at the same time. So if you're going
to have if you're going to have kind
of an off topic right up to this
point on the channel, I had not made any
high level content. It was more like
affiliate marketing, kind of Amazon influencer stuff. It was not high level.
So it wasn't until the second or third
high level video that all my stuff
started popping. So this is going
to be this is key. And you'll probably see this
in your graph, as well. Now, you want to
get people to click between videos manually, right? So you're on here. Always
they're not always going to get to the up next at the very
end screen, right? Only about a third of people
are going to see that. So in the middle, we want to get people to watch more videos. Number one is the
video end cards. You'll see my video, I'll play this here in a second. Hope this has been
valuable, and I hope to see you in
the Mastermind. And if you want to see
more high level training, I actually put videos up here in the corners
or you can continue, and I will see you
in the next video. So, as you'll see, I kind
of point to the corners. I'm making an explicit
call to action of the third of the people who make it to the
end of the video. Hey, click one of these two. Go watch more, go
watch another one. So that's what I'm doing is I'm trying to get them to increase the session time by
watching a second video. Now, in the middle, I also put these little
mid video cards up. If you watch, I'll
point to the corner, you'll see a card up here. If you haven't watched that, I'm going to put a card right
up here in the corner. You can go ahead and watch
that video when we're done. But typically, it's
a friend. You'll see how I put this card
right up here. Basically, what
that does is I do that for a sidebar video, and this is also to
keep up with pacing. So if you find yourself
making a video, and there's going to be kind of a really
long sidebar, right? You're talking about how
to sell something online. You talk about, Oh, you're
gonna need a sales funnel. And then you find
yourself explaining what a sales funnel
is for 20 minutes. That's going to kill
the original intent of the video of how
to sell something. And it's going to
take you off on this tangent, it's going
to kill the pacing. So what I would do is I would basically cut off that
20 minute sidebar, make a separate video on
what a sales funnel is, and then link it in a card here. So for anybody who wants
more context on a topic, you can kind of gloss over it
in the first video and then follow up with a second
with a little sidebar card. Now, because of this, right, because we're trying to push people between multiple videos, multiple videos
watched in a session can make up for poor
one video retention. I've had videos that have
a 20% average watch, but they're like my fifth
highest viewed videos. The reason why is that
people are going from that video and
they're clicking to a second one about halfway through or 25% of
the way through. And that tells me that
high session time is more valuable than high video watch time
on a single video. And the reason being is that there are ads
between the clicks. So if you're watching Video one and you click
over to Video two, YouTube is going to show you an ad between Video
one and Video two, which they make money on. So the more time that
they can get you to watch different videos
and click between videos, they can make more money
because they serve more ads. And that's why, for me,
getting somebody to watch two videos is the
most important thing, because it puts my goals on
the same side as YouTube. And again, that second video is also where most of
the sales get made. Now, at this point, I've shown you all kind of the
basic strategy. I want to show you
how to go deeper. I've actually linked my full day YouTube workshop called the
Perpetual Leads Machine. I've linked that down
below where you'll see a complete step by step process on how to set up a brand new YouTube channel. How to find your video
topics and how to shoot videos that
spit off leads daily. Again, there's going to be
a link right down below. Go check that one out.
And with that said, I'll see you in the next lesson.
31. Attracting & Closing Leads: YouTube Video Topic Ideas: Hey, welcome back
to the program. In this video, we're going to be talking about as we're
going to be talking about different YouTube
topics that you can make content
on to help attract your ideal client for
high level builds or even high level consulting work in your freelance
service pro business. Now, I've used the
whiteboard for this one here just
because it's really a simple strategy that
you're going to have to run over and over and in. Now, there's generally
two big buckets that your content is
going to fall into, and then you can kind of
spread out from there. Number one, the first kind of bucket of content that
you're going to make, it's going to be simple how
to use GHL content, right? So these are tutorials of
saying, Hey, my name is, I'm going to show you today how to use high level calendars, how to build a calendar
in high level. That's actually the first
place I would start. I would go here and
then really get good in the calendars portion, because that is
something that there's not a lot of content around, and they're always
making updates. So there's a big content opportunity
there with calendars. The other one there is
going to be workflows. Because of just the
sheer versatility of what you can do in a workflow,
it's nearly unlimited. So showing people how to do cool stuff in workflows
and kind of attach that to business scenarios will be a valuable piece of content to make for your ideal customer. Then the other kind of big
area of high level where I see a big content deficiency where you're probably
going to get views, and we are not going to have
a whole lot of competition. So if you can do make content around the phone, how
to hook up the phone, how toward how to
forward phone calls from an existing business line
to a high level line using things like the voice
AI to set that stuff up. If you also want to do
texting ATP approval, there's a lot of subtopics
around the phones inside of high level that there's just not a whole lot of
good content around, and there's even fewer
service providers in that speciality kind
of area of expertise. So calendars,
workflows, and phones are probably the three big
buckets I would start with. Everybody wants to do funnels. Everybody wants to do websites, and you'll just be in
a C of everybody else. But if you kind of use calendars
workflows on the phone, you'll be fishing in a
smaller but deeper pond. Now, with this
particular content, you're really just showing
people how to use high level, not necessarily how to attach
it to a business case. And that's going to
be the second bucket that I want you to
create content on, which is going to help
the person watching it, make the leap between, Oh, here's how to use this
software and click the buttons versus here's
how to click the buttons, and here's how it's going
to help me in my business. I need to get on the phone with this person and have
them do this for me. So the next bucket that
you're going to do is going to be how high level
helps small businesses. So again, what you
want to do now is you basically want to
create a scenario. Basically what you want to
do is you want to create a fictitious scenario with a
fictitious client request, because if you're
starting out, you don't necessarily
you're not necessarily going to have
client testimonials or client case studies just yet. That's one of the biggest
things that I see in the high level community is people are starting and they go, Well, I don't have a case study. I don't have a
testimonial to work from. But whether the person is real or not really
is irrelevant if you show how high level or how you helped a
specific situation. The only thing you can't
do with a fictitious scenario is you can't say, we increase this person's
business by 30%. But you can absolutely create
a character and create a scenario and then
show how high level would help that
fictitious scenario. So that's basically what
you're going to want to do. You want to outline
outline the scenario, show how GHL was going to help show how GHLs going to help that particular scenario
and then basically show and then show the work involved in fixing and helping
out with that scenario. And to make this really easy, I'm actually going to give you a free gift along
with this course. I'm going to have it
linked down below. And that is my GHL scenario
generator, Custom GPT. So what I've done here is
I've actually trained it to generate a scenario
in the form of a word problem for you to create YouTube videos and create fictitious case studies with not only is this going to help
you make YouTube content, but if you want to go and get certified with the high
level certification, the certified admin program, this is what your P B
exam is going to be. High level is going to give
you an example like this, and they're going to
have you basically fix this scenario
inside of an hour. And if you can do that, you're
going to pass the exam. So if you want to get
ready for the exam, run like three or four of these, and if you can do these
inside of an hour, depending upon how
complex they are, the one in the exam
is fairly simple. But if you can do these
inside of an hour or maybe an hour and a half,
you're ready to take the exam. So this is how it works. Again, I have this
link down below. You can open it
up, I should open a new tab and you'll be able to click one of these buttons. Basically, the one
here is you can click Build me a
scenario for today, which is going to just create a scenario, pick an industry, or what you can do,
as you can say, I want to work with a med spa. Click this here. So let's
just see the simple one. You can come in here,
click the button. It says, Build me
a new scenario. And now what Chat's
going to do, it's going to create a business
scenario and then suggest how high level can help that
particular business. It's going to give
you an industry. So about 90 seconds later, this is actually what
it's going to create. This is what you
can do. This would make a really good
YouTube video. So in this scenario, we've
got let realty group, which is a midsized
real estate agency struggling with follow
ups and lead nurturing. Their agents generate
a high number of inquiries through Zillo
Facebook as and referrals, but many of those leads
slip through the cracks due to slow responses and
inconsistent follow up. Agency wants to automate lead
engagement while keeping personal touch points. So
that's a scenario, right? Somebody could very
well come come onto your discovery
call and say, Hey, I got all these
leads coming from Zillo but I can't keep
track of them all. So basically what's
going to happen now is the agency owner wants to automate their lead
follow ups across SMS email and voicemail drops, assign leads to agents based
on location and price range, nurture cold leads over months
to increase conversions, improve response time
to under 5 minutes, and then track agent
performance and response rates. And then it also is going
to spit out some KPIs. So if you're working
on the $297 plan, you can create you can create a custom dashboard
to track these KPIs. So this is basically what you're going to
want to do, right? Response time, conversion
rate, engagement rate, and then agent
follow up, and ROI. So all things that you can
track through high level. And if you come down here, it
also is going to recommend the high level workflows
and automations that you want to build to
achieve the result above. Because I know this
is going to be the breadth of high level. And then as we come
down here, it's also going to recommend
some workflows and automations that
are going to help you with the scenario above. Now, this is not going to
give you the answer because, again, you want to become
a high level expert. This is just giving you kind of kind of a point you
in the right direction. There's 1 million different ways to do everything on high level. But what it's going to do,
it's going to give you basic workflows to
start working for, how to think on how to do this video showing people
how to go ahead and do this. If you also wanted to do this as a live stream that you could, where you basically chat
give you a scenario, and then you go ahead and
build it, that's fine, too. But it's going to basically give you the lead capture
assignment workflow, a five minute response workflow, a lead nurture drip, a reactivation for cold leads, and then a performance
dashboard, how to build all
that stuff there. And then it's hit and miss here, but it'll also give
you a workflow diagram if it's fairly straightforward. Again, it's kind of
hit and miss here. But that's what it's
going to give you. Now, again, you
can come to these once a day or once a week. I'd probably do
this once a week, because once a day on YouTube
is really hard to do, especially if you're
editing your own videos. But if you can do it you can
basically go to chat and go generate a new scenario
for a plumber, right? Let's say that you're
attracting a lot of home service people and
not real estate people. So what it's going to do,
it's going to generate another scenario in
the plumbing niche. And this is basically going
to be Swift flow plumbing, a local plumbing service
company receives emergency service calls and online inquiries with missed
appointment requests, low response times, and
inconsistent follow ups. They want to streamline intake, automate scheduling,
and increase retention through follow ups. So this one also touches
on review requests. So it's going to be
so it's going to be a different set of
features that you're going to build with each
scenario each time. So this is going to be
an unlimited source of content. Basically,
click a button. I spits out the scenario, and it's going to tell you this is what the
client wants to do. These are the KPIs that
you want to track, and then these are the
recommended workflows to build to achieve
these results. Now, again, this
would mean unlimited source of YouTube content, but it's also a great
way to get ready for the admin test because this
is what the admin test is. You're going to
get this scenario and you're going to
get these requests. And you may get the KPIs. I don't remember. It's been a while since I've
taken the test. You may get the
KPIs, you may not, but you're not
going to get these. You will not get the bottom. You're going to get the request,
and you'll get the top. And if you can do it in
an hour, you're there. So, again, this is my gift to you. It's
gonna should be free. Link down below this. So when you create your
YouTube topics here, create your kind of buckets,
how to use the features, I would work those first, just kind of show people
how they work, and then start
creating a series of different scenarios that
you are going to show, and then show how
high level and then show how high level relates to specific business scenarios. This way, the viewer knows
that you can basically take this software in a void and attach it to their
specific situation. So that's going to lead to really good discovery calls for you and hopefully a lot
of high paying clients. I'll see you in the next video.
