    Closing rates increase up to 25% when using Closely’s automated outreach platform. Closely gives you the ability to reach out to the exact people who are interested in your offer. You can set up the entire campaign, and then Closely will take over everything else. You can choose your message and deliver it using email or text. Sometimes the interface can be a little slow. I would suggest doing some testing before committing to this tool. Closely saves time, which is important to me. I have been using it for about a month now, and I have noticed that my close rate has increased by 25%. I am able to focus on building my list instead of doing the tedious task of emailing people.

    HighLevel is a great tool, and is a real "all rounder" that helps agencies keep costs down and profits high. It really does serve the majority of marketing agency needs, but it does fall down slightly on some specialist areas, where a dedicated CRM would be best for example. It can be a little tricky to use and buggy, which does cause some frustration sometimes.

    HighLevel competes with other funnel builders, automations providers and CRMs. HighLevel has a clear advantage in terms of value for money. It gives you a lot of bang for buck. We can get cheaper but you will not get all the same features and development speed as HighLevel. You can get a bit nicer page builders, email marketing tools etc but they will come at a lot more $$. So it really depends. You can spend some more $$ in HighLevel and get custom built css styling and make it look and feel the same as more $$ tools. So really you can't lose with HighLevel in the long run.
