Hey Lion's Den Members! 🦁 I'm RG from the marketing team at The Lion's Den! I'll be sharing some of the marketing strategies, automations, and systems we're using to grow our business. Here's a quick case study from our Loss Recovery campaigns in KC Power Clean (following up with leads who got an estimate but never booked). 📊 Straight From Our Dashboard (May–August 2026) ✅ 32.8% overall response rate (iMessage + SMS) ✅ 24.4% previous period ✅ +34.1% increase vs. last period Here's what we've observed: - 🔵 iMessage: 30–36% response rate - 🟢 Traditional SMS: 10–12% response rate - 🚀 That's approximately 2.5–3.6X the response rate! 💰 What Does This Mean for Your Business? Imagine having 1,000 old leads sitting in your CRM. 🟢 Traditional SMS: 100–120 responses 🔵 iMessage: 300–360 responses That's potentially 180–260 additional conversations without spending another dollar on ads! These are people who already expressed interest in your services. And here's the exciting part: This isn't just for loss recovery! You can also use iMessage in your lead intake process, replacing regular SMS for initial outreach, follow-ups, appointment scheduling, and estimate reminders where supported. That means more opportunities to start conversations with new leads, too! Of course, messaging channel isn't the only factor. Your audience, timing, and follow-up strategy all matter. The goal isn't to blast thousands of people. It's to create conversations with people who already know your business! 🚀 Want Help Setting Up GoHighLevel? If you're interested in getting GoHighLevel set up for your business from scratch, I'd be happy to help fellow Lions build a lead intake and loss recovery system like this. 👇 Drop a comment if you'd like help getting started or want to learn more! — RG | Marketing 🦁

This is the third year to have supported the Sacramento Hotel Association’s Bowl-o-Rama event. We hosted Aloft Sacramento Airport and Wyndham Sacramento bowling teams this year! Giving back isn’t something we do occasionally. It’s one of our core values. It pays back! We’ve made valuable connections with hoteliers and with other vendors as well. Gigi from sales is attending this event and she’s ready to serve up a raffle prize and treat bags. I’m always looking for opportunities to give back to our community and support industries that we serve.

I run Matt The Driveway Guy out of Greenville, SC. We have grown a solid residential brand/book but have been stuck around the 500k mark riding the waves of the seasons (80-20% residential). We have 3 trucks built out a VA team and are looking to expand heavily into commercial and recurring work. Looking forward to leveling up with everyone else, learning to leverage my sales team and offload a lot of the tasks I am still involved with on the admin side.

I’m Trent from Houston, Texas. Glad to join and hopefully get some good insight into growing. I own an exterior cleaning company mixed commercial & residential. Been a 1 man army for along time and ready to grow and pass some responsibility’s off to the right people. My main struggle has been having consistent jobs/leads to fill the schedule every week. I get a lot of jobs from facebook, facebook groups, and word of mouth. I walk into businesses when it gets slow to get some commercial leads. Hoping to hire a sales guy/VA soon to keep the schedule full and get another truck/ employee to get me out the field as much.

Hello fellow Lion's. Started a trash bin and dumpster pressure washing business after 10 years of doing and leading sales teams for fortune 100’s. Excited to be around people who hunger for entrepreneurship. 4 years running Clean City Bins in CA God has bigger plans!😉
