Step 3. Setting Up Your CRM for Client & Lead Management

As a financial advisor, managing your clients effectively is critical to your success.

GoHighLevel’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system allows you to organize your leads, track client interactions, and automate follow-ups – all from one platform.

Creating and Organizing Your Client Database

The first step is to import or manually add client information into GoHighLevel’s CRM.

Here’s how:

🔹 Manually Adding Clients & Leads

Go to ‘Contacts’ in GoHighLevel.

Click ‘Add Contact’ and fill in key details:

• Full Name
• Email Address
• Phone Number
• Lead Source (How they found you: Website, Referral, LinkedIn, etc.)
• Financial Interest (Retirement planning, investment advice, tax optimization, etc.)

Click ‘Save’ to add them to your CRM.

🔹 Importing Leads from a Spreadsheet

If you already have a list of clients in an Excel sheet, you can bulk import them:

1. Go to ‘Contacts’ > ‘Import Contacts’
2. Upload your CSV file with lead details
3. Map the fields (Match column names in your file to GoHighLevel fields)
4. Click ‘Start Import’ to add them to your database

Segmenting Clients into Categories

To manage your clients efficiently, you should segment them into different categories for targeted follow-ups.

🔹 Using Tags to Categorize Clients

You can add tags to each client to classify them based on their financial needs:

📌 Prospect – New leads who have not booked a consultation
📌 Active Client – Clients who are currently working with you
📌 Past Client – Clients you’ve worked with in the past
📌 High-Net-Worth – Clients with significant investments
📌 Retirement Planning – Clients interested in retirement planning

How to Add a Tag in GoHighLevel:

1. Open a client profile in the ‘Contacts’ section
2. Click ‘Edit’ and scroll to the ‘Tags’ field
3. Enter a custom tag (e.g., ‘Investment Client’)
4. Click ‘Save’

📌 Pro Tip: Use filters to search for clients based on tags. Example: If you want to follow up with all “Retirement Planning” clients, just filter by that tag.

Step 4. Tracking Client Interactions & Communication

A strong client relationship is built on consistent communication. With GoHighLevel, you can track all interactions in one place:

🔹 Viewing the Client Activity Timeline

Each contact has a timeline showing all interactions:
✔ Emails sent & received
✔ SMS conversations
✔ Phone calls made & recorded
✔ Appointments booked
✔ Notes from previous meetings

📌 How to Access a Client’s Interaction History:

1. Open the ‘Contacts’ tab
2. Click on a client’s name
3. Scroll down to see their full activity history

This helps you remember past discussions and personalize future interactions.

Step 5. Automating Lead Nurturing with Workflows

Many leads don’t convert immediately, so you need a system to nurture them over time. With GoHighLevel, you can create automated workflows to:

✅ Follow up with prospects who haven’t booked an appointment
✅ Send reminders to clients about financial check-ups
✅ Re-engage past clients who haven’t worked with you recently

🔹 Example: Automated Lead Nurturing Workflow

Scenario: You get a new lead from your website who didn’t book a consultation.

Instead of following up manually, set up this workflow:

📌 Day 1 – Send a welcome email with a free financial guide
📌 Day 3 – Send an SMS: “Hey [Name], would you like to schedule a free consultation?”
📌 Day 7 – Follow-up email: “Here’s how I can help you with your financial goals.”
📌 Day 14 – Send a final reminder to book a call

📌 How to Set This Up in GoHighLevel:

1. Go to ‘Automation’ > ‘Workflows’
2. Click ‘Create New Workflow’
3. Select ‘Start from Scratch’
4. Add triggers (e.g., “New Lead Added”)
5. Add actions (e.g., Send Email, Send SMS)
6. Set up timing delays (e.g., Wait 3 Days)
7. Click ‘Activate’

Now, every new lead will automatically receive follow-ups without manual effort!

Why This Matters?

✅ A well-structured CRM allows you to manage leads and clients efficiently
✅ Automated workflows ensure you never miss a follow-up
✅ Segmenting clients helps personalize your communication

By setting up your GoHighLevel CRM properly, you’ll stay organized, nurture leads effectively, and close more clients without extra manual work.

📌 Pro Tip: Include a reschedule/cancel link in your reminder email to let clients adjust their meeting without ghosting you.

3. Embedding Your Booking Link on Your Website & Social Media

To make scheduling seamless, integrate your booking system with your:

🔹 Workflow Example: Missed Appointment Follow-Up

📌 Trigger: Client didn’t show up for the scheduled meeting

📌 Trigger: Appointment completed
📌 Action 1: Send a ‘Thank You’ email with a recap of your discussion.
📌 Action 2: Send an SMS – “Hi [Name], thanks for meeting today! Let me know if you have any questions.”

Why This Matters?

✅ Follow-ups keep leads engaged and improve conversions

By automating your appointment booking process, you save time and ensure a professional, smooth scheduling experience for your clients.

Automating Client Communication & Follow-Ups

As a financial advisor, staying in touch with clients is crucial for building trust and long-term relationships.

However, manually following up with every lead and client is time-consuming. With GoHighLevel's automation tools, you can set up workflows that:

✅ Nurture leads with automated follow-up emails & SMS
✅ Engage existing clients with regular check-ins and updates
✅ Re-engage inactive clients to bring them back
✅ Personalize communication while saving time

This section will show you how to automate your client communication efficiently without losing the personal touch.

1. Setting Up Automated Follow-Ups for Leads

When potential clients fill out a lead form or book an appointment, they often need multiple touchpoints before making a decision.

Instead of manually sending reminders, GoHighLevel’s automation ensures that leads stay engaged.

🔹 How to Set Up a Lead Nurture Workflow

1. Go to ‘Automation’ > ‘Workflows’
2. Click ‘Create Workflow’ → Choose ‘Start from Scratch’
3. Set the Trigger:
   • 📌 If a new lead fills out a form → Send a welcome email
   • 📌 If a lead books a consultation → Confirm the meeting and send resources
4. Add Follow-Up Actions (Time-delayed emails, SMS, and calls):
   • Day 1: “Thanks for your interest! Here's what to expect.”
   • Day 3: “Quick question: What’s your biggest financial concern right now?”
   • Day 7: “Still interested in a free consultation? Book here!”
5. Save & Activate the workflow.

📌 Pro Tip: Customize your follow-up messages based on what service the lead inquired about (e.g., retirement planning, investment advice).

2. Automating Check-Ins & Ongoing Communication for Clients

After onboarding a new client, regular check-ins help maintain relationships and encourage repeat business.

Instead of relying on memory, use GoHighLevel’s automation to send periodic updates.

🔹 How to Automate Client Check-Ins

1. Go to ‘Automation’ > ‘Workflows’
2. Set the Trigger: Client completes a consultation or signs up for a service
3. Add Follow-Up Actions:
   • ✅ After 1 Week → Send a check-in email: “How’s everything going so far?”
   • ✅ After 30 Days → Offer a progress review call: “Let’s review your financial plan.”
   • ✅ Every Quarter → Share market updates & financial tips

📌 Pro Tip: Use SMS reminders for high-priority follow-ups, as they have a 98% open rate compared to email.

3. Re-Engaging Inactive Clients

Some clients may become unresponsive over time. Instead of losing them, reactivate them with a targeted re-engagement campaign.

🔹 Creating a Re-Engagement Campaign

1. Go to ‘Marketing’ > ‘Campaigns’
2. Choose Email & SMS
3. Segment your audience: Filter clients who haven’t engaged in 3+ months

   • Call-to-Action: “Book a free check-in call here.”
5. Add a limited-time incentive (e.g., “Get a free portfolio review this month!”).

📌 Pro Tip: Use automated voicemail drops to make the message feel more personal.

4. Automating Birthday & Anniversary Messages

Small gestures make a big difference in client relationships.

Automated birthday or financial milestone messages show clients you care:

📌 Pro Tip: You can also send anniversary messages (e.g., “1 Year Since We Started Working Together – Here’s Your Progress!”).

5. Tracking Client Engagement & Follow-Up Performance

Once you’ve automated your client communication, track the results to optimize your messaging.

🔹 How to Monitor Your Follow-Ups in GoHighLevel

2. Setting Up Your Sales Pipeline in GoHighLevel

GoHighLevel’s pipeline feature allows you to map out every stage of your client journey, from the first contact to becoming a paying client.

🔹 How to Create & Customize Your Pipeline

Go to ‘Opportunities’ in GoHighLevel

Click ‘Create New Pipeline’

Add Custom Stages Based on Your Sales Process

• New Lead – Just inquired about your services
• Initial Consultation Booked – Scheduled an appointment
• Follow-Up Needed – Missed appointment or not ready yet
• Proposal Sent – Waiting for client approval
• Closed – Won – Converted into a client
• Closed – Lost – Did not proceed

Assign Automation to Each Stage

• Auto-send reminders when leads move to “Follow-Up Needed”
• Trigger a contract or invoice when a lead moves to “Proposal Sent”
• Set a Thank You email when a deal is “Closed – Won”

📌 Pro Tip: Keep your pipeline simple yet structured, so it’s easy to track where each client stands.

3. Automating Client Follow-Ups & Nurturing

Many financial advisors lose leads simply because they don’t follow up consistently.

With GoHighLevel, you can automate follow-ups across email, SMS, and voicemail drops, ensuring you stay top-of-mind.

🔹 How to Automate Follow-Ups Based on Pipeline Stages

Go to ‘Automation’ and Create a New Workflow

Set the Trigger Based on Pipeline Stage

• If a client moves to “Follow-Up Needed,” send an automated reminder
• If a lead doesn’t book an appointment, send a gentle nudge via SMS
• If a proposal is sent but not accepted, trigger an email reminder after 3 days

Customize Your Messages

• Keep emails concise and personalized
• Use SMS for quick engagement
• Add a voicemail drop for a personal touch

📌 Example Workflow:
🚀 A lead enters the pipeline as “New Inquiry” → Automated welcome email with a booking link
⏳ If no appointment is booked in 2 days → Follow-up SMS reminder
📅 If an appointment is booked → Confirmation email & SMS reminder

📌 Pro Tip: Set up multi-channel automation (email + SMS + voicemail) to increase engagement.

4. Automating Proposal & Onboarding Processes

Once a lead is ready to move forward, automating your proposal and onboarding steps can save time and enhance the client experience.

🔹 How to Automate the Proposal & Onboarding Process

Trigger a Contract or Proposal When a Lead Reaches “Proposal Sent” Stage
