HighLevel is not your average CRM.
It’s a full-blown marketing and automation powerhouse. But here’s the kicker: most people are only scratching the surface.
They get in, set up a funnel or two, maybe automate a text… and that’s it.
But the ones who win? They lean all the way in—and that’s what this recent session with Mario Aldayuz (Head of Partnerships here at HL Pro Tools) was all about: unlocking the next level of HighLevel, without drowning in complexity.
Let me walk you through the highlights, takeaways, and how you can use this info to actually move the needle in your business.
Mastering the HighLevel Machine
Mario pulled no punches. He dove deep into what really separates struggling users from high-growth agencies.
It’s not about “knowing more features”—it’s about building the right systems, in the right order, with the right tools.
Here’s what we covered 👇
💬 Seamless WhatsApp & SMS Integration
If your messaging game is still stuck in email or manual texts, it’s time to catch up. WhatsApp is huge for client communication—and HighLevel can handle it, if set up right.
Biggest issue? People transferring numbers without finishing A2P registration. Result? Broken workflows, failed texts, and confused clients.
it right from the start, or bring in someone who can.
🤖 Leveraging Voice AI & GPT Workflows
You can now drop GPT directly into your workflows to auto-summarize sales calls, drop follow-ups via SMS, and hand off clean notes to your team—no APIs, no coding headaches.
🔥 Pro move:
Set a trigger like “Note Added,” pass it to GPT, then send a concise summary via internal SMS. Perfect for sales teams, brokers, or anyone juggling a high volume of convos.
💰 Monetizing with Prepaid SMS Credits
If you’re on the $497 SaaS Pro Plan and not using the credit-based billing system… you’re missing out. T
This lets you give clients a fixed amount of credits, then bill automatically when they go over.
We suggest marking up 2–3x the base cost. It’s a simple way to turn a cost center into a recurring profit engine—without lifting a finger each month.
The Formula to Build Momentum
HighLevel isn’t just about getting “set up.” It’s about creating momentum. You want clients onboarding faster, automations firing smarter, and systems generating revenue on autopilot.
Here’s the TL;DR strategy Mario laid out:
🔹 Refine processes using GPT & AI. Let machines handle the manual stuff.
🔹 Upgrade your plan if you’re ready to scale. The Pro Plan unlocks the real revenue-driving features.
🔹 Bring in pros (like us) when it’s time to get serious. White-label support means you grow without having to be a tech wizard yourself.
Final Thought: You’re Sitting on a Goldmine
Look—HighLevel’s ecosystem is like a Ferrari. But if you’re only driving it to the grocery store and back, you’re not getting your money’s worth.
When you actually learn to build systems—when you stop DIY-ing everything and start thinking like a SaaS CEO—that’s when things get fun.
If you’re ready to scale faster, stop putting out fires, and finally build that smooth, automated, profitable machine… we’ve got the tools, the workflows, and the white-label muscle to back you up.Check out HL Pro Tools and let’s build momentum! 💪
