Want More Time? Automate Your Marketing & Get Your Life Back

Imagine this: It’s 10 a.m. on a Wednesday. Your competitors are still hand-sorting leads; you’re lining up a seven-iron on the 6th at Maroochy River. Because while they’re buried in follow-ups, your HighLevel automations are booking demos, tagging hot prospects, and nudging invoices, hands-free.

Why Automation Is the New Super-Power

• 63% of marketers say “time saved” is the single biggest payoff of marketing automation.

• The average business wins 6 hours back every week, that’s 312 reclaimed hours per year, enough for 104 nine-hole rounds or a brand-new side-hustle.

AI won’t just save minutes; it gifts you an extra day every month.

The STRENUE 4-Prompt Framework (Automation Edition)

1. Frame the Mission

   • Prompt: “Act as an elite RevOps architect for [Business Type] who needs to reclaim time by automating [Repetitive Task] so they can focus on [High-value Activity].”

   • Why it works: Loads the model with process-engineering smarts and a crystal-clear outcome.

2. Lock the Voice

   • Prompt: “Write like a [Brand Archetype], calm strategist, plain-spoken, no jargon, one emoji max per paragraph.”

   • Why it works: Keeps copy human, not cyborg.

3. Specify the Structure

   • Prompt: “Draft a 6-step automation playbook (Problem → Goal → Workflow → Tech stack → Metrics → Next action). Use bullet lists.”

   • Why it works: Gives the LLM a blueprint so your content flows like a well-oiled assembly line.

4. Layer the Nuance

   • Prompt: “Shorten each step to <70 words, add a one-sentence case study, finish with a confident rally cry.”

   • Why it works: Polishes the final draft and injects social proof.

Copy-paste those four prompts, tweak the brackets, and ChatGPT will build ‘set-and-forget’ systems while you sip your flat white.

Three Time-Starved Heroes - Before & After Automation

1. Ellie, The Coach

   • Before Automation: Manually emails workout PDFs, forgets half her check-ins, loses Saturdays in admin.

   • After Automation: HighLevel drip emails + SMS check-ins fire automatically; Ellie wins back 5.5 hrs/week and launches a paid community.

2. Ravi, The Agency Owner

   • Before Automation: Chases proposals, tags leads in spreadsheets, burns 2 hrs/night in follow-ups.

   • After Automation: Trigger-based pipeline stages advance themselves; Ravi reclaims 7 hrs/week—enough to hire a junior strategist.

3. Mia, The Course Creator

   • Before Automation: Stuck answering “Where’s my link?” DMs and refund requests.

   • After Automation: Self-serve onboarding + cart-abandon sequence recoups 6 hrs/week and boosts monthly sales 18 %.

Spot the pattern? Every hour saved gets reinvested where revenue (or relaxation) lives.

  Fix: Add a value-only re-engagement sequence before any sales ask.

• “Automations break when the offer changes.”
  Fix: Use global custom values in HighLevel so new links auto-update in every funnel and email.
