GoHighLevel HubSpot CRM Automation Specialist | Make Zapier Workflows

I build GoHighLevel (GHL) and HubSpot CRM automation for service businesses and agencies, so every new lead gets a quick reply, lands in the right pipeline, and gets followed up until they book a call or buy. Client results: 🏆 Absolute Ablutions closed an extra $74,000 in new deals in 4 weeks after I automated follow-up and nurture for their sales team. 🏆 Added $3,000,000 in pipeline revenue in 4 months with automated email outbound for a HealthTech company. 🏆 Cut a consulting firm's delivery work from 6–8 hours down to under 2 by automating record checking and billing analysis, saving the team around 200 hours per week. "One of the best freelancers I have worked with. Proactive as opposed to reactive. Came in, understood the problem, diagnosed it & solved it quickly. Awesome to work with." - Ed (Upwork client) What I can build for you: ⭐ CRM setup, implementation and cleanup in GoHighLevel or HubSpot, including pipelines, deal stages, custom fields and lead routing ⭐ Workflows and email sequences that follow up with new leads automatically and remind your team when a deal needs attention ⭐ GHL snapshots and sub-account builds for agencies that want a repeatable setup for each client ⭐ Booking and calendar automations, with reminders so more booked calls actually show up ⭐ Integrations between your CRM, forms, ads and other apps using Make, Zapier, n8n, APIs and webhooks ⭐ AI automation and AI agents for lead response, qualification and data entry, so new inquiries get handled while your team is busy ⭐ Conversion tracking from Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and GTM into the CRM, so you can see which leads turn into revenue How I work: I start by mapping how leads and deals move through your business today, then share a short plan for you to approve before I build anything. You won't need to spend hours on calls with me. I work async, keep you updated in writing, and hand everything over with clear documentation and Loom walkthroughs so your team can run it without me. I'm based in South Africa, which gives good overlap with European working hours and US mornings. A bit about me: I studied mechatronic engineering and worked in industrial automation before spending several years in outbound lead generation, inbound marketing and sales. Because of that experience, I take a strong system/process-based approach to my work and have first-hand experience using the sales and marketing systems I build. Tools I use often: ⭐ GoHighLevel ⭐ HubSpot ⭐ Make ⭐ Zapier ⭐ n8n ⭐ Google Ads ⭐ GA4 ⭐ GTM ⭐ Claude Code ⭐ Supabase Send me a message with the CRM you use and what you'd like automated, and I'll reply with how I'd approach it and what the first step would look like. I value my reputation more than any fee. If you do not think the work is five stars, I will refund you in full. "You only get one name, invest accordingly." - Alex Hormozi
