Most agencies I talk to have the same problem: leads come in, and nobody follows up for 2 days.
I've spent 15+ years in recruitment and 4+ years building GoHighLevel automations for US and UK businesses. Here's what I keep seeing:
The issue is rarely lead volume. It's speed and consistency after the lead lands.
A simple GHL setup fixes most of it:
1) Instant SMS + email reply within 60 seconds
2) Auto-tagging by service or source
3) A 7-day nurture sequence that stops the moment they reply
4) Pipeline stages that tell your team exactly who to call today
Nothing fancy. It just works.

Are you getting quality leads, landing clients, and finding long-term projects?
Would love to hear your honest feedback! 🚀

I’ve been exploring Contra alongside other freelance platforms, and I like its community and portfolio-focused approach. I’m still building momentum, but it’s a promising platform for connecting with clients and finding new opportunities. 🚀
Recruitment is a people business. The brand should feel the same way.
Wayforce connects top talent with businesses and needed an identity that spoke to both sides at once. Sharp enough for the companies hiring. Human enough for the candidates being placed.
The mark does two things: reads as W, moves like a direction. Acid yellow that stands out in a category full of grey corporate sameness.
Not another recruitment agency. A force that knows where you’re headed.
This is wonderful man. love the branding
Attention, Contra people🚨
Only proceed if you're in the mood for a laugh😅
A while ago, I was working with a client who needed lots of video ads every month. And by "lots," I mean 36 videos, 3 hooks each, 2 formats.
That's 216 files. Every. Single. Month.
Sounds like a lot, but we were ready.
THEN... things got interesting.
40 videos. 5 hooks each. 3 formats. Yep, SIX HUNDRED.
In 2 weeks.
And what did we tell the client? "Pff... two weeks? Easy."
Turns out, I was a little too optimistic🙃
This took us over a month. Not exactly our proudest moment.
But hey, that little disaster pushed us to rethink our workflow.
And the system we built? It eventually allowed us to deliver
150 files in just 7 calendar days.
Have you ever underestimated a project's timeline and regretted it later?

The one I experienced was when a client gave me a project and provided a reference she wanted me to use as inspiration to build her website. I quoted her 10-14 days, but she said she needed it done in 5 days. I accepted it because I was desperate to get the project and I needed...
