Hi everyone, so I’m using the Conversation AI bot in GoHighLevel to automate follow ups/lead nurturing for my clients as part of my DFY offer. The problem is I live in the European Union (Ireland) and you can’t buy an Irish number in GHL with sms capabilities, and the regulatory bundles stuff is a nightmare. Even when I start getting American clients, you have to go through A2P registration and that often times fails, and the messages are green with that ‘reply stop to opt out message’ which absolutely kills conversions. Email follow ups are even worse, so that’s not an option. The only other alternative would be WhatsApp in GHL, however it looks like if my clients connect their business WhatsApp account they lose access to it on their own phone, that’s so stupid. If you are using GHL what do you use for AI automated follow ups for appointment booking? And is what you use for US clients different from EU clients? I heard some people say n8n is what they use. Does anyone have experience with both? Appreciate the help.

Hey everyone, I hope someone who has GoHighLevel can help me out here. The main problem is connecting a phone number with Conversation AI for SMS automations and appointment booking. I have a few questions I really need answered. I'm running Facebook ads for a client and qualifying leads through the Conversation AI bot in GHL. I have a few questions: 1. Right now I'm getting billed from my agency account rather than adding my client's card to their subaccount, and then just invoicing the client separately outside of GHL. Is this the right way to go about it or am I missing something? 2. Do I need to buy a phone number for my client to use Conversation AI in GHL? I'm based in Ireland and serve Irish businesses, so buying a phone number in GHL has been a nightmare with the regulatory bundle requirements. 3. If the messages appear green on iPhone and include a 'Reply STOP to opt-out' message, is that going to significantly hurt conversions? Is there any way around this? 4. Do I need to do the lead nurturing/qualifying with my GHL automations, or is it good enough to just send the leads from the Facebook ad straight to the client and let them handle the qualifying and appointment booking themselves, assuming the ad has a qualifying lead form so the client doesn't get bad leads? I know this is a harder sell and I can't price my service as high, but is it a viable option? 5. Is it worth hiring a VA to text and call leads on behalf of my clients instead of using AI? The downside is cost and reliability, especially as volume increases, a VA might not follow up consistently enough. That's exactly why I want to use the AI bot in GHL, but the phone number and SMS setup in particular has been a real pain to get working. Any advice from anyone who's been through this? Your advice would be massively appreciated!

Hey everyone, I'm setting up my clients ad account and when I go to give myself (my agency) partner access it won't let me turn on the 'Leads' switch under the 'Pages' section, which I need in order to generate leads for them. We tried to fix this by going to 'Integrations' and giving me access there, but that didn't work. Has this happened to anyone before and how do I solve this? Thank you.

What’s the real difference between guaranteeing appointments vs guaranteeing paying clients? Right now I’m structuring my offer around X number of guaranteed appointments per month, but I’m wondering if I should position it as X number of paying clients per month since it’s obviously a stronger offer. From my understanding: - There’s a clear difference between offering guaranteed leads vs guaranteed appointments since you need a VA/dialer to qualify and book appointments. So you can clearly charge more. - But when people say they guarantee clients, which is the next step up from guaranteeing appointments, they’re not actually closing deals for the business… right? So I’m trying to figure this out: If I generate and book qualified appointments, but the client is still responsible for closing… 👉 Can I realistically say I “guarantee clients”? 👉 Or is that only valid if I control the sales process too? And if the goal is to move from guaranteeing appointments to guaranteeing clients, what actually needs to be added? Do I need to provide my clients with a sales script? At what point does it become ok to say you guarantee clients, not just appointments, as this would make my offer stronger? Would love to hear how you guys think about this.

I wanted to say a big thank you to Jimmy and this community for all the advice on running an agency. I got my first two clients and even though I'm only charging per result it's still huge step forward. Thank you guys.
