How GoHighLevel AI Recommendations Work
The AI recommendations in GoHighLevel are focused on practical next steps. Instead of generic advice, the system suggests tasks that align with your agency setup stage.
Common types of AI recommendations you may see include:
- Suggested outreach activities to new prospects
- Reminders to complete core account settings important for selling
- Guided actions to configure simple, sellable SaaS snapshots
- Prompts to add, organize, or update lead records so nothing falls through the cracks
These recommendations are presented in a way that allows you to complete them quickly. As you take action, the system updates your status so you always know what to do next.
Setting Up Your Starter System with GoHighLevel
New agencies often struggle with where to begin. The prospecting tool and AI guidance give you a basic starter system you can use to start selling immediately.
Core elements of your starter setup
- Define your offer
Follow the AI prompts that help you decide what you will sell first (for example: local business SaaS, simple funnels, or reputation management). Keeping the first offer simple makes it easier to start conversations and close quick wins.
- Organize your pipeline
Use the prospecting tool to structure stages such as New Lead, Contacted, Demo Booked, Proposal Sent, and Closed Won. The AI suggestions help ensure you do not miss critical steps.
- Add your first leads
Input a small list of local or niche-specific businesses you want to work with. The system can nudge you with next steps like scheduling calls or sending follow-up messages.
- Connect communications
Make sure your basic communication channels are ready to go. The AI recommendations highlight essential items to configure so your outreach is smooth.
By completing these elements, you create an operational base that supports both SaaS and service sales.
Using GoHighLevel to Prospect and Pitch SaaS
Once your starter system is in place, the prospecting tool helps you move from setup into active selling. The goal is to help you pitch a simple SaaS or service package quickly.
Daily prospecting workflow
- Review AI recommendations
Each day, begin on the prospecting dashboard. Check the list of AI-suggested actions related to outreach, follow-up, or data cleanup.
- Work priority leads first
Use the tool to filter or view leads that are closest to booking a meeting or closing. Focus on these before moving to colder prospects.
- Send offers based on snapshots
If the system suggests pitching a particular packaged solution, use the prompts to present a clear, outcome-based offer to your leads.
- Update lead status
After each call, email, or message, update the lead’s position in your pipeline. This keeps future AI recommendations accurate.
Over time, this cycle helps you refine your pitch, learn your market, and build predictable sales habits.
