Why We Chose HighLevel: The CRM That Replaced 5+ Tools—at a Fraction of the Cost

June 24, 20254 min read

Running a small business often feels like being the ringmaster of a chaotic circus. You’re juggling lead follow-ups, booking appointments, sending proposals, updating your CRM, and remembering to post on social media—all while trying to deliver excellent work for your clients.

In past roles, I’ve felt that pressure deeply.

We had to work around clunky software that charged extra for every basic upgrade, so we stitched together free or segmented tools to avoid steep monthly fees. Email lists in Mailchimp never synced with our CRM. Manual Visa payments were only accepted by Accounts Receivable—or came by snail mail as cheques. Contracts lived in Google Docs. None of it talked to each other. Managing it all became a full-time job—and not the one anyone wanted.

At Make Me An Offer, we knew we didn’t want our clients going through that. So we built our business—and our client systems—on one solution: HighLevel.


HighLevel Isn’t Just a CRM. It’s the Control Panel for Your Whole Business.

Most CRMs are built to solve a sliver of your operations: lead tracking, email campaigns, maybe contact notes if you’re lucky. But they don’t solve for the full scope of what a service-based business actually needs.

HighLevel replaced 5+ systems for us. It handles:

  • CRM and sales pipelines

  • Smart booking calendars

  • Email and SMS automation

  • Inbound call tracking and voicemail transcription

  • Online forms and surveys

  • Course hosting and memberships

  • Social media scheduling

  • Proposals, contracts, and invoicing

  • AI follow-up sequences

  • And more

Everything lives under one roof. Leads don’t fall through the cracks. Tasks don’t get lost in Google Drive. And we don’t need four logins to make basic client onboarding work.

That’s why we use it—and why we’ve rolled it into every one of our marketing packages.


Our Clients Don’t Just Get Software. They Get Systems That Work.

We don’t just offer HighLevel—we use it as the engine behind our done-for-you systems. This isn’t just a software subscription.

We handle the initial setup—your automations, forms, pipelines, integrations, and can even create a customized website or app—so you don’t start from scratch.

Here, we help you shape a strategy that fits your business model—not a cookie-cutter template.

You’ll receive personalized training to confidently navigate your system.

As your business grows, we’re here to troubleshoot any issues, suggest upgrades only when they truly benefit you, and provide ongoing guidance so your technology evolves alongside your goals.

Plus, you get access to hundreds of templates to help with your ongoing marketing campaigns, making it easier to stay consistent and effective.


Why Our Clients Stick Around

We’ve seen clients move over from systems like HubSpot and Kajabi—cutting their costs by thousands of dollars per year, and gain functionality they never had before—like AI auto-replies to missed calls, smart segmentation for follow-up sequences, and one-click onboarding that actually works.

One client had been spending over $1,200/month across multiple platforms. When they came to us, we rebuilt everything inside HighLevel and cut their monthly stack to a quarter of the cost—while improving their conversion rates with tighter automation.

Another client came to us burnt out from trying to DIY their system. They had the software but were still stuck working inside the tools every day instead of focusing on growth. Within a few weeks of working together, they had a clean workflow for lead capture, automatic follow-ups, and bookings that fit their availability.

That’s the real value here: not just software, but peace of mind. You’re not chasing down updates, missing leads, or feeling lost in a sea of tech jargon and support tickets. You have a team on your side who knows how to translate your vision into systems—and keeps things running smoothly in the background.


Who We’re Built For

Our HighLevel-powered systems are best suited for:

  • Service businesses juggling too many disconnected tools

  • Coaches, consultants, and agencies who need automation that doesn’t feel robotic

  • Anyone who wants a single system to manage leads, clients, and communications—without per-user fees or hidden costs


A Final Word: You Don’t Need Another Tool. You Need a Team.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of “just one more app.” But most business owners aren’t suffering from a lack of tools—they’re suffering from too many tools and too little time.

What you need is clarity. Integration. A real system that grows with you.

That’s why we chose HighLevel. And that’s why we offer it the way we do.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels on half-working tech and start scaling with confidence, we’d love to show you what your business could look like with the right system—and the right team—behind it.

👉 Let’s talk about your setup — or better yet, we’ll show you how we’d build it for you.
