GoHighLevel for financial advisors
GoHighLevel for financial advisors and retirement planners
Rob Eason, a HighLevel Certified Admin, and his team set up GoHighLevel (GHL) for advisory practices, starting with the basics other advisor builds got first: a pipeline for each service, calendars with reminders, follow-up that branches on what the lead asked for, and workshop sign-ups in the right pipeline. For a practice with a policy book, the build can go as far as a review and allocation schedule for every policy.
Jobs we set up
What HighLevel does for an advisory practice
Jobs with their own page come first. The cards after them are basics we add on advisor builds.
Annual policy reviews and allocation windows
One record per policy, dates from each carrier's own rules, and a review clock that can never cost a client their allocation window.
See Annual policy reviewsWorkshop and consultation booking
Workshop sign-ups and ad leads land in the pipeline for their service, and every booked strategy call gets a confirmation and a reminder.
See Workshop and consultation bookingA pipeline for each service
Roth conversions, estate planning and annuities each get a pipeline, named for what the client buys, not where the lead came from.
An old contact list, made usable
We remove duplicates, keep the records that can be reached, and tag them so the team knows where they came from.
Why it fits
The basics first, then the work only advisors have
Leads can reach a practice from a workshop, an ad and an appointment request in one week, with nothing showing where each stands. The first build fixes that with the basics we have put in for other practices: a pipeline per service, a confirmation and a reminder on every booked call, and a first message that depends on whether the lead asked for an appointment or signed up for an event.
You rarely have to drop a tool you like. When someone else owns your outside scheduler, HighLevel takes in the leads and leaves the booking where it is. When the scheduler is yours to retire, HighLevel calendars replace it.
The deeper example is an annuity and life practice, where the work is a yearly schedule of obligations rather than a stream of new leads. We delivered a review and allocation engine there: one record per policy, dates worked out from each carrier's rules, and separate clocks for the annual review and the allocation window. The annual policy reviews page walks through it.
We keep one rule on every advisor build. Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, tax returns and account statements never go into HighLevel. They stay in a secure fact-finder tool, and HighLevel runs only the campaigns, sequences and tasks around them.
On an inherited account, we read the live messages before adding anything. On one advisor account, templates already sending had placeholder links and empty merge fields, and we cleaned them up first. On another, a nurture stopped after its opening message because a manual-call task sat in the middle of it. We took the task step out, put the stuck leads back into the sequence, and no longer place task steps inside a nurture at all.
Services used
Setups an advisor build leans on
Texting registration goes in early, because text reminders and first touches wait on it.
How a setup runs
From a call with Rob to a handover you can check
A 1:1 with Rob
Bring your services, your lead sources and the scheduler you use. Rob tells you which basics to build first and which tools can stay.
A plan you approve word for word
Every email, text, reminder, AI reply and pipeline stage for your practice is written out in one plan document. Wording you already use goes in unchanged, and nothing is built until you approve it.
The build
We build in your own HighLevel account from the approved plan, testing each piece on test contacts. Nothing that reaches clients is switched on until you say go.
A QA report at handover
You receive a report with evidence for each part of the build, screenshots included, so you can check every pipeline stage, reminder and branch yourself.
Changes after launch
Ask for a change and you get a verdict before any work: a fix inside the scope we agreed, or new scope for you to approve.
