You know we are big on AI around here. But that doesn’t mean we don’t acknowledge that AI has certain quirks to it.

To be clear, this is NOT a reason to not use AI. It’s just something to be aware of. Read about it here:

Pipeline Power: Mastering Sales Flow with HighLevel
If your sales process feels like chaos—leads falling through the cracks, follow-ups missed, no clear next steps—then you’ve got a pipeline problem.
What's a “Pipeline”?
In HighLevel, a pipeline is a visual tool that helps you track where your leads and clients are in your sales or fulfillment process.
This is a KEY step to having a high-functioning agency that scales over time.
In fact, your sales pipeline might be the most important piece to get in place if you're looking to make more money now.
That's why on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session, I went live to show you how to master sales pipelines in no time flat.
The replay is up now and you can catch it right here:
