I'm a Coach and HighLevel Nerd

This site is dedicated to sharing what I have learned – and continue to learn – about HighLevel, the all-in-one marketing and CRM software.

I am passionate about helping coaches and course creators get more clients and greater success.

After running my own marketing agency for 15 years, teaching at tertiary level, speaking on business growth at some of Australia's largest conferences, and writing two best selling books on marketing...

I believe that the simplest way is the best.

Which is why I use this site to share simple discoveries and insights showing how I use HighLevel in my coaching business.

Background: we'd been using ActiveCampaign for years in our business and had lots of notes saved on our contacts. So changing was tricky because ActiveCampaign does NOT export notes when you do a standard data export.

We did our research and for a few reasons wanted to switch to HighLevel... but didn't want to lose all those years worth of comments / notes.

Luckily, I figured out a way and I demo it in this video.

How to automatically update a contact's country based on their phone number, in HighLevel

In this video I’ll show you a technique I created to automatically update a contact's country based on their phone number in HighLevel CRM.

This is especially useful if you use Highlevel internationally, as without it the country field for each contact defaults to the country of the agency.

James is a fantastic presenter. I have not heard many that can engage their audience in meaningful discussion during their presentation and not get lost along the way. James has the ability to stay on message, whilst presenting to the audience in a clear and articulate fashion.
