Want SOPs Built Into Your GoHighLevel System?
We document your processes and train your team so GoHighLevel runs consistently every day.
Identify the Processes That Need SOPs
Start with processes that happen regularly, impact leads/clients/revenue, are prone to errors when people 'wing it,' and new hires struggle to learn quickly.
- Handling new leads and updating pipeline stages.
- Booking, running, and following up on calls.
- Creating and launching campaigns or funnels.
- Onboarding new clients into GoHighLevel.
- Managing tags, fields, and data hygiene.
Choose a Simple SOP Format
Keep your SOP format consistent so they're easy to read and write.
- Title – clear and specific.
- Purpose – why this SOP exists.
- Scope / Who It's For – which role(s) should use it.
- Tools / Access Needed – what part of GoHighLevel they'll use.
- Step‑by‑Step Instructions – numbered steps with screenshots if needed.
- Notes & Tips – common mistakes, variations, examples.
- Owner – who maintains this SOP when things change.
Document 'As‑Is' First, Then Improve
Don't wait for a perfect process before documenting it. Ask the person currently doing the work to walk you through live in GoHighLevel. Record the session or take screenshots. Turn that into a simple list of steps. Only then refine the process. This ensures your SOPs reflect reality, not a theoretical idea no one actually follows.
Write Click‑By‑Click Steps for GoHighLevel Tasks
Your SOPs should be detailed enough that a new hire could follow them without guessing.
- Log into GoHighLevel and select the correct location.
- Go to Opportunities and open the Sales – New Deals pipeline.
- Search for the prospect by name or filter by today's calls.
- Click the opportunity card to open details.
- In the Notes section, summarize the call.
- Use the Stage dropdown to move the deal.
- Click Save and create a task for the next follow‑up.
Attach SOPs to Internal Workflows (Optional but Powerful)
Connect SOPs directly to your processes using tasks with links to SOPs in their descriptions, and internal workflows that assign tasks and send training links when certain triggers fire.
- When a deal moves to 'Closed Won,' a workflow creates tasks with links to the Client Onboarding SOP.
- When a new rep is added, an onboarding workflow assigns tasks like 'Follow Daily Sales Routine SOP.'
Make SOPs Role‑Specific
Avoid generic 'how to use GoHighLevel' documents. Instead, create SOPs tailored to roles:
- Sales reps – daily routine, pipeline updates, note‑taking, follow‑up workflows.
- Account managers – onboarding, ongoing communication, renewals.
- Marketing specialists – launching funnels, campaigns, A/B tests, tracking.
- Admins/owners – account structure, naming conventions, data hygiene.
Keep SOPs Short, Clear, and Up‑to‑Date
Use plain language, not jargon. Keep steps short and scannable. Highlight 'don't do this' when mistakes are common. Add a 'Last updated' date and SOP owner. When you change a key process, make updating the relevant SOP part of the change process—not an afterthought.
Train with SOPs, Then Coach with Real Data
When onboarding someone new: walk them through the SOPs relevant to their role, have them execute tasks live in GoHighLevel while following the SOP, answer questions and refine the SOP if steps were unclear. Later, use real data to coach—if deals aren't moving, revisit the pipeline update SOP. SOPs are living documents.
