Operations VA | GoHighLevel CRM & Automation Specialist

Leads are coming in. Customers need follow-up. Tasks are piling up. And the CRM isn't keeping up. I help businesses bring order to that behind-the-scenes work. I'm an Operations VA and GoHighLevel CRM & Automation Specialist with 6+ years of experience supporting businesses with CRM management, lead follow-up, customer operations, administrative support, and workflow automation. I can step into an existing system, understand what's happening, keep the day-to-day work moving, and improve the processes that are slowing the business down. What I help businesses manage GoHighLevel & CRM • CRM setup and cleanup • Pipeline and opportunity management • Contact organization and tagging • Workflow automation • Lead nurture sequences • Appointment reminders and follow-up • No-show recovery • Onboarding workflows • Forms, funnels and calendar setup • CRM troubleshooting and optimization Operations & Administrative Support • Inbox and email management • Calendar and appointment coordination • Task and project coordination • Documentation and file organization • Research and reporting • CRM updates and data management • Customer and client follow-up Automation & Systems • Zapier, Make and n8n workflows • Airtable systems • Google Workspace workflows • AI-assisted processes • Connecting tools and reducing repetitive work • Process documentation and workflow improvement A few examples of my work A business was getting consultation bookings, but prospects were going cold because follow-up depended on someone remembering to do it. I built a 90-day GoHighLevel nurture sequence with automated email/SMS touchpoints and a no-show recovery workflow to keep prospects engaged and bring missed appointments back into the booking process. In another business, the sales team was spending time on prospects who weren't ready to invest. I implemented conditional logic in the GoHighLevel intake process so prospects could be routed into the appropriate path based on their responses, keeping the sales team's attention on more qualified conversations. These weren't just automation projects. The goal was to make the business easier to operate and reduce the number of things that could fall through the cracks. How I work I’m comfortable working between the operational and technical sides of a business. I can manage the CRM, coordinate appointments, follow up with customers, organize information, document processes, troubleshoot workflows, and identify where a process can be made more efficient. I don't need every task broken down into tiny steps before I can contribute. Give me the outcome you need, and I can help organize the work required to get there. Tools: GoHighLevel, Airtable, Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Workspace, Trello, Slack, Canva, Outlook and other business tools. If you need reliable operational support from someone who also understands CRM and automation, let's talk.
