What is an Indoctrination marketing campaign?

Posted on by

An Indoctrination marketing campaign could also be called a Welcome campaign, however, I think that calling it an Indoctrination campaign forces you to think about this campaign much more strategically. If you think of a Welcome email the typical gist of your copy will be something along the lines of "Thanks for subscribing to our list we look forward to keeping in touch with news and offers" - yo...

This flexibility means businesses can structure their data in a way that mirrors their specific needs, enabling more precise workflows and tailored communication.

Santa Pause is coming – to HighLevel

Have you ever received marketing emails over the Christmas holidays – it just seems wrong when you get an email on Christmas day asking you to take action today. Know what I mean? Well this is no longer a problem for HighLevel users. At a global account level we can pause workflows and emails from going out over the Christmas holiday time – and they just resume after the holidays, a neat little feature. Here is more detail:- Managing workflows efficiently is crucial for businesses, especially when certain processes need to be temporarily halted during specific periods, such as holidays or maintenance windows. GoHighLevel’s “Pause Workflow” feature offers a streamlined solution to manage these pauses without the need to deactivate or delete entire workflows. Understanding the Pause Workflow Feature The “Pause Workflow” functionality allows administrators to temporarily suspend specific workflows for designated date ranges. This is particularly beneficial for workflows with seasonal actions or those requiring periodic adjustments. By utilizing this feature, businesses can ensure that certain processes are paused and resumed seamlessly, maintaining operational efficiency. How to Implement the Pause Workflow Feature Access Global Workflow Settings: Navigate to the “Global Workflow Settings” within your GoHighLevel dashboard. Set Start and End Dates: Click on the “Start Date and Time” field to select the desired start and end dates and times for the pause period. After making your selections, click the “Confirm” button. Select Workflows to Pause: In the “Select Workflows” field, choose one or multiple published workflows you wish to pause. Note that only published workflows will appear in the dropdown menu. Add Multiple Date Ranges: If you need to pause workflows during multiple periods, click the “Add Date” button to include additional date ranges. You can add up to 15 different date ranges. Enable Annual Pauses: For recurring pauses on the same dates each year, check the “Annually” box for the corresponding date range. This ensures the selected workflows are automatically paused annually on the specified dates. Clone or Delete Date Ranges: To duplicate a date range, click the clone icon next to the desired row. To remove a date range, click the delete icon. Monitor Paused Status: When workflows are paused, their status will be highlighted as “Paused” on the Workflow Landing Page. Access Builder Settings: Within each workflow’s builder settings, a “Pause Workflow” section provides details about the pause schedule. You can also access the “Global Workflow Settings” from this section to make any necessary changes. Important Considerations The maximum allowed duration between the start and end dates for a pause is 15 days. Ensure that a workflow is not included in overlapping date ranges to prevent conflicts. By leveraging GoHighLevel’s “Pause Workflow” feature, businesses can effectively manage their workflows, ensuring that specific processes are paused and resumed as needed without disrupting overall operations. For a detailed walkthrough and additional information, refer to GoHighLevel’s official support documentation.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 “𝗡𝗼” 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗢𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 “𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗬𝗲𝘁” – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Sales is a game of timing, trust, and value. Every salesperson has experienced the sting of hearing “no” from a potential customer. It’s easy to feel disheartened, but what if “no” doesn’t mean “never”? In many cases, it simply means, “Not yet.” 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 Business needs evolve constantly. Budgets shift, priorities change, and decision-makers reassess their goals. A prospect saying “no” today may be grappling with issues like budget constraints, competing priorities, or uncertainty about how your solution fits into their strategy. In my experience, patience and persistence have been key. Recently, two clients who initially declined discussions about HighLevel software over a year ago have now returned, ready to move forward. What changed? Their businesses evolved, and they recognised that the tools I offered could drive the growth they needed. And since I first mentioned HighLevel they have heard other people now talking about how good the software is. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗢𝗳𝗳 Persistence in sales isn’t about badgering or being pushy—it’s about staying relevant and present. Here’s how you can do it effectively: 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵: Maintain regular, value-driven contact through newsletters, social media updates, or personal check-ins. 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: Share relevant industry insights, case studies, and success stories. This keeps your solution top-of-mind when circumstances change. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Keep an eye on news or updates about their business. Changes like expansion, new hires, or product launches can signal readiness for your offer. 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Periodically revisit previous “no” responses with a tailored message: “Last time we spoke, X was a challenge. Has that changed? We’ve helped similar businesses achieve Y.” 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 By staying persistent, you position yourself as the go-to solution when the client’s circumstances change. Those two HighLevel clients of mine are a perfect example. They weren’t ready when I first approached them, but because I maintained the relationship, they knew who to call when the time was right. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 In sales, “no” is rarely final. It’s a placeholder that says, “Not now.” Keep showing up with genuine value, and you’ll be the first person they think of when their “no” turns into “yes.” If you’re curious about how HighLevel can transform your business when the time is right 😉 feel free to book a Discovery Call
