✅ Step-by-Step Setup Checklist

1. Define Your Offer & Client Journey

Before jumping into tech, map out:

• What you're selling (product, service, course)

• The stages a lead goes through to become a client

• Where you want automation to take over (lead capture, follow-ups, onboarding, etc.)

📝 Pro tip: This clarity helps you design workflows, emails, and funnels with purpose.

2. Set Up Your CRM & Pipelines

• Customize your pipeline stages (e.g., New Lead → Booked Call → Closed Deal)

• Add custom fields to capture key data

• Create smart lists and tags to segment leads

🧠 Think of your CRM as the brain of your business. Keep it clean and organized.

3. Create Your First Funnel or Landing Page

• Choose a goal (lead magnet, booking page, sales page)

• Use drag-and-drop tools or a proven template

• Connect forms to tags, workflows, or email campaigns

• Set up thank-you pages and automation triggers

💡 One funnel done right can fuel your lead generation for months.

4. Connect Your Calendar

• Sync your Google/Outlook calendar

• Create one or more booking calendars (discovery calls, sessions, webinars)

• Add auto-reminders (email/SMS)

• Build a post-call automation (thank-you email, next steps, etc.)

📅 No more back-and-forth scheduling chaos.

5. Set Up Email & SMS Campaigns

• Design welcome sequences, nurture campaigns, and reminders

• Use tags or triggers to automate based on behavior

• Personalize with dynamic content (first names, last visits, etc.)

💬 The power of timely, automated messaging = better engagement & more sales.

6. Build Your First Workflow

• Choose a trigger (e.g., form filled, appointment booked)

• Add steps: emails, SMS, tags, delays, task assignments

• Test thoroughly before going live

• Start with one workflow, then scale as needed

🔄 Workflows turn your entire business into a smart machine.

7. Add Your Team (if applicable)

• Invite team members and assign roles

• Set permissions for each user

• Assign leads and tasks automatically via workflows

👥 A team that works in sync = faster results.

8. Launch Review Automations

• Set up a review request workflow after service delivery

• Include a direct link to your Google/Facebook reviews

• Automate follow-ups for non-responders

⭐ Social proof drives future clients. Automate it.

9. Integrate with Other Tools (if needed)

• Zapier, Stripe, Zoom, Facebook Ads, etc.

• Keep it lean: only connect what truly adds value

• Use webhooks or native integrations when possible

🛠️ Everything works better when it talks to everything else.

10. Track Results & Optimize

• Set up dashboards for lead tracking, revenue, and campaign performance

• Check open/click rates, funnel conversions, and calendar bookings weekly
