Five days of live training to help you understand what GHL can actually do for your business, audit what you are currently using, and walk away with a clear build plan. You will not have everything built by Friday — but you will know exactly what to build first and why.
A crash course in coding. A reason to cancel everything and start over. A magic fix. GHL is a tool — and like any tool, it only works if you know how to use it and have a plan before you pick it up.
Every tool you are using made sense when you chose it. The problem is not that you made bad decisions — it is that your business grew and the infrastructure did not grow with it. This week we are not here to judge the stack you built. We are here to help you build the next one on purpose.
The more specific you are here, the more Day 1 will land
An abbreviated version of the Day 1 audit to prime you
| Tool Name | What I Use It For | Rough Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|
A quick diagnostic before Day 1
Today we paint the full picture of what is possible when your business runs on connected systems — then audit exactly where you are right now. What kind of tools you are using, how much it is costing you, and what to do first.
Answer these 7 questions first — honestly. They reveal how your business is actually running right now.
Your Question 7 number is your consolidation score. Every extra tool is a gap. GHL exists to collapse that number — not by removing features from your business, but by housing them all in one place.
Check every tool — even the ones you barely use. Tallies update live.
The tally above shows the money. This section names the real cost.
You are not just paying for software. You are paying for manual work, missed follow-up, duplicated effort, and a scattered customer experience. That is the real cost of a disconnected stack.
Jess’s rule: audit first, rebuild next, migrate in order, pause before you cancel
One working system beats five half-built ones
Four steps before tomorrow
You already earned the leads. Today we stop losing them.
Five pages. Same order as today's session.
You are going to score how your business answers the four questions every buyer asks, map how leads reach you right now, lay your business over the four pillars of a journey, find your three leak points, and pick the one you close first.
Do not aim for perfect. Aim for honest. The messy first pass is the one that shows you where the money is slipping out.
By the last page you'll have one clear next move. Bring that move to Day 5. That's the day we build it.
One reminder before you start. Nothing on these pages means you're behind. You've been running this journey the whole time, in your head, on your busiest days. Today we get it out of your head and onto paper, so the system can carry it instead of you.
Before anyone buys from you, she answers four questions. Quietly. In order. Skip one and she stalls.
Score how well your front end answers each one right now. 1 means she's guessing. 5 means she's clear.
Your lowest score is the question your leads are stalling on. Circle it.
This is the ground truth. You can't fix a leak you can't see.
Every way a lead reaches you right now. Where that conversation lives. What happens next.
| How the lead reaches you | Where the conversation lives | What happens next | Automatic, or me remembering? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instagram DM | My phone inbox | I reply when I see it | Me remembering |
Look down the last column. Every "me remembering" is a leak waiting to happen.
Four questions in her head. Four pillars in your business. Same thing from two sides.
Drop your real assets and actions under each pillar. The funnel, the emails, the welcome, the calls, the content. Put each one where it belongs.
The pillar with the fewest lines is your thinnest wall. That's where she's walking out.
Three places the journey breaks for almost everyone
Fill in what happens now, what should happen, and whether it runs on its own.
Every "No" you circled is a leak with your name on it. That's not a knock. That's your build list.
You don't fix all of this at once. Small tweaks, not overhauls. You pick one.
Look back at your lowest question, your thinnest pillar, and your "No" boxes. One of them is costing you more than the rest.
This is the move you bring to Day 5. When we build the 14-Point Conversion Impact System, this is the leak you close first. Write it big. Say it out loud.
The sample cadence — this is what we build on Day 5. Swap [link], offer name, and proof stories for your business.
Trigger: lead raises hand (keyword drop, comment, opt-in, or DM request). Exit trigger: purchase or opt-out.

Three steps before tomorrow
You started today thinking leads went cold.
You know now they were confused. And confused you can fix.
One leak. One next move. That's how the whole journey gets built. One wall at a time.
mentorship and the machine
Your built-in ManyChat, living right inside GHL. Someone comments a keyword on your post, and a whole automated conversation takes over from there. Today you learn how it works and map your first one.
The machine behind “comment the word below”
You have seen this a hundred times. Someone posts a reel and says “comment the word SCHOOL and I will send you the link.” Hundreds of comments appear, and every single person gets a DM within seconds. That is not a VA typing fast. That is keyword automation.
Most people pay for ManyChat to do this. SocialSync does everything ManyChat does, already inside your GHL — no extra subscription, no exporting your leads from one tool and importing them into another. The lead comments, gets the DM, drops her email, and lands directly in your CRM with a tag, in one motion.
Meta gives you a short window after someone interacts with you — roughly 24 to 48 hours. Inside that window you can DM them. After that, the door closes unless they reply to you first. A reply opens the conversation and keeps it open. That is why the first DM is built around one tiny ask: tap YES. One tap, and now you can follow up, deliver, and nurture.
The anatomy of one SocialSync automation, start to finish
Your build sheet — fill this in, then go build it in GHL
This sheet is your build list. Every field you filled in becomes a step inside your GHL workflow. Pick your keyword, load your replies, and go build it.
Three steps before tomorrow
Jess’s full tour of everything GHL does. Today you stop asking “can GHL do this?” and start asking “where in GHL does this live?” By the end you will have your personal inventory, your build priorities, and your cancel list.
A lead fills out a form → she is in your CRM → an automated text fires → she books a call → she buys → she gets onboarded, her contract fires, her course opens. Every touchpoint, one system, all visible. Nothing you check today is a maybe — it is all sitting inside the account you already have.
For each item mark: ✓ Already Using · → Needs Setup · ✕ Not Relevant for me
Based on the walkthrough — list in order what to build or activate next
Tools from your Day 1 audit that GHL can now replace
| Tool | Monthly Cost | Replaced by GHL Feature |
|---|---|---|
Every asset in your business — where it lives now, and where it moves inside GHL
| Asset | Where It Lives Now | Its New GHL Home | Move It When? |

Four things before Day 5
The closing session — the game plan, the decision, the next step. You saw what is possible this week. Now we map exactly what you build, in what order, and why.
Not because it is hard. Because it is layered. You cannot build the roof before you pour the foundation. You cannot automate a process you have not designed. You cannot trust a system you do not understand. And you cannot scale infrastructure that is not stable.
Speed without sequence is how you end up with a system you do not trust. Sequence is what creates a machine.
Before the plan — close the loop on what shifted
Based on the recommended build order: Communication → Lead Capture → CRM → Automations → Delivery
The question you answer in the first 30 days: does your business have one home? One CRM. One pipeline. One inbox. One source of truth — every lead out of your phone, your DMs, your spreadsheets, and into one place. Tagged. Tracked. No manual entry.
Now we wire the two systems that directly make and protect money. Communication: every lead source flowing into one inbox, automated response live, follow-up sequences built. Revenue: booking automated, payments inside GHL, pipeline updating in real time. At Day 60 you have rails.
This is where your business goes from running — to running itself. Delivery: onboarding fires while you sleep, access granted automatically, offboarding designed. Data: your first real dashboard — conversion rates and revenue as numbers, not feelings. Weekly reports that come to you. At Day 90 you have a business, not a job you created for yourself.
Complete this — make it specific, make it yours
