HighLevel is great for so many types of businesses. Basically most business will be able to find value using HighLevel. It saves a lot of time playing with multiple software. It is more affordable being that everything you need is in the one place. So it allows you to focus on growing your business and not worrying about the technology and outgrowing your current technology setup. Companies from startups to global brands capitalise on HighLevel's features and functionality. The HighLevel community is also very helpful with hundreds of thousands of worldwide users it is easy to find support and help whenever you need it.
I think if you have a very large brokerage and can afford to pay for a fully customized set up then it may be worthwhile. I would make sure you have a dedicated support team, not an account manager. In my opinion, the account managers are worthless and will not respond most of the time. We are on our second account manager in 9 months of using the system and cannot get in touch with him. In my experience, the account managers have no knowledge of how the system works or how anyone in real estate would want it to work. Obviously, I can only say this for the two managers we have had so far. I would steer clear of this system unless you want to spend a few thousand a month for a system that, I feel, will impede your business rather than improve it.
It sends unwanted canned responses to potential clients that you haven't approved. You must figure out how to use it to make them stop. This was day 1.
If you like to learn using many many different videos to learn a product, then this maybe for you.
Their support is good, but wait times can be long. They want you to use their chat, but then when you ask your question, it can be a several hour wait time between responses. The people are nice and resolve your issue. But I think chat is for quick back and forth communication, not something with a long delay. Also, you can only really do it effectively on your computer, not on your phone.
It's proving very tough to track leads from campaigns we are running ourselves. If your website converts a lead, it really just gives you the website source, and even that only some of the time. It would be great to create custom sources and have kvCORE track that traffic and lead via some sort of UTM tag or URL parameter.
Some of the load times aren't great. When I load up my database, it takes a while to actually display. Also, when a lead is claimed in a pond, you have to refresh to be able to contact them. Then once you add a campaign, you have to refresh again to see the tasks that fire. This is a bit clunky.
The app is great, but there is still some limited functionality. It would be great to access and claim leads from a pond on the mobile app. Also if you could get push notifications when new leads are added. Our time to lead sucks, and that's because kvCORE doesn't alert you super quickly.
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.
It doesn't deserve a zero because you can access contacts and get reminders to contact them. In my experience, you can not use the system for proper communication with both prospects and their spouses.
I love kvCORE's support. Having the little chat feature in the bottom right of my screen the whole time I'm working takes away any stress or worry about using it. When I first started using it, I learned its features by clicking and trying things, and more than once I had to go into the chat support and ask how to undo or fix what I had done. I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 minutes to get a reply back and it being almost instant and right there on my screen allowed me to continue working and know immediately when my question had been answered.
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.
Konversion and BoomTown are the only two I have used. Both have their things to recommend. Since I used Konversion, using kvCORE was simpler and I was able to upload my contacts seamlessly. This made adopting a new system easier and less likely to have a gap in contacting customers.
