GoHighLevel CRM & Lead Management
Project Overview
Apex Sales Pros is a U.S.-based outbound agency helping small and mid-sized B2B companies fill their pipeline through cold outreach, follow-ups, and appointment setting. With a rapidly growing client base across industries like SaaS and marketing, they needed a scalable system to manage high outbound volume without dropping leads.
Their goal: automate follow-ups, accelerate response times, improve campaign tracking, and boost appointment rates while keeping operations transparent and efficient.
We managed GoHighLevel as their central CRM and automation hub, combining smart workflows with real-time ISA support, lead scoring, and integrated calendars. The result was a fully automated, client-visible system that consistently delivered qualified appointments and empowered their team to scale with confidence.

The Challenge
Despite having clients and a capable team, Apex Sales Pros struggled with disjointed systems and manual workflows. Lead data was scattered across tools, making follow-ups slow and inconsistent. Without a centralized CRM, cold leads slipped through the cracks, nurture sequences were lacking, and scheduling demos was a manual hassle. Missed appointments had no recovery process, and clients had little visibility into campaign performance. The result? Lost opportunities, inefficiencies, and growing pressure on the team. To scale effectively, Apex needed a streamlined, automated system that could manage leads, book appointments, and keep both their team and clients fully informed in real time.
Our Solution
We began by mapping Apex Sales Pros workflows, tools, and goals, then built a fully automated system in GoHighLevel tailored to their operations.
We customized CRM pipelines for each client, tracking every stage from lead capture to closing with automated tags and triggers. All lead sources were integrated via webhooks and Zapier, eliminating manual data entry and enabling real-time segmentation by source and priority.
We launched persona-based drip campaigns with smart follow-ups, SMS/email outreach, and no-show recovery flows to keep leads engaged and booking. Calendars were integrated with round-robin scheduling, ensuring seamless, automated bookings and reminders.
To boost transparency, we set up white-labeled dashboards showing live campaign metrics, lead statuses, and appointments, giving clients full visibility without extra admin work.
Finally, Apex’s ISAs were trained to use GoHighLevel’s built-in dialer, calling new leads within minutes and logging activity in real time, blending human follow-up with intelligent automation for a truly scalable system.
Business Impact
The transformation was not only immediate, it was measurable.
Response time to new leads dropped from an average of 8 hours to under 5 minutes. Leads were engaged through three channels (email, SMS, calls) within the first 30 minutes, boosting reply and conversion rates. Appointment booking increased by more than 2.5x within the first month of launching the automation flows.
Campaigns that previously died off after the first week now continued to perform steadily for up to four weeks due to consistent nurturing. No-show rates dropped significantly due to automated reminders and recovery flows. One client saw a 32% increase in rebooked demos simply through our no-show automation sequence.
The internal team reported a 40% reduction in time spent on admin and scheduling tasks, thanks to the calendar integration and automated reminders. ISAs were more efficient, making calls directly inside GoHighLevel, tracking notes, and handing off booked appointments seamlessly to account managers.
From a client satisfaction standpoint, the new system led to longer client retention, better campaign performance, and more referrals. The dashboards made it easy to show value in real time. Clients no longer had to ask, “What’s going on with our campaign?”—they could log in and see everything for themselves.
Overall, Apex Sales Pros turned their growing pains into a system-driven success story. By marrying smart automation with human outreach, powered by the flexibility of GoHighLevel, they unlocked a new level of scalability, consistency, and client satisfaction.
