Available for GoHighLevel & CRM automation projects

I build GoHighLevel systems where no lead goes untouched.

CRM architecture, workflow automation, and business operations design for clinics, agencies, and service businesses. Two complete GoHighLevel environments built from empty sub-account to launch-ready — and documented in full, so you can see exactly how they work.

About

Nine years of being relied on, now pointed at CRM.

I'm Ellen Joy Demonteverde, and I came to CRM automation from an unusual direction. For more than nine years I worked internationally as a personal care assistant.

That isn't the background most people expect in this field, so let me be direct about what it actually taught me: how to be relied on. Care work runs on consistency. Someone's day depends on you turning up, doing exactly what you said you would, and keeping the person who employs you informed without having to be asked. There is no version of that job where "I forgot" is an acceptable answer.

That's the instinct I now bring to systems — because a CRM fails for the same reason a routine fails. A handoff nobody owns. A step nobody wrote down. A follow-up that depended on someone remembering. I build systems so that nothing depends on remembering.

I taught myself GoHighLevel and built two complete CRM environments from empty sub-account to launch-ready — data architecture, pipelines, forms, calendars, workflows, communication, and reporting — then documented both in full. I'm new to this field and I'm not pretending otherwise, which is exactly why I built working systems instead of collecting certificates. The screenshots below are from those builds.

My approach: map the process first, model the data second, automate last. That order is unglamorous, and it's the reason a system stays clean as it scales instead of collapsing into duplicate records and untraceable tags six months in.

What I build

Every engagement starts with the process, not the platform. The tooling below is how the process gets enforced.

01

CRM Setup & Architecture

Full GoHighLevel sub-account builds: business profile, custom fields, custom values, and a tag taxonomy designed to stay readable as the database grows.

02

Pipeline & Opportunity Design

Sales, renewal, and service pipelines with stages that mean something — so anyone can look at a board and know exactly what happens next.

03

Workflow Automation

Trigger-based automation for lead intake, follow-up sequences, task creation, internal notifications, escalation paths, and date-driven logic.

04

Forms, Funnels & Landing Pages

Intake forms mapped field-by-field to CRM records, plus conversion-focused funnels and websites built inside the platform.

05

Calendar & Booking Systems

Self-serve booking with business-hour availability, confirmations, SMS reminders, and buffers that protect the schedule from itself.

06

Email & SMS Communication

Templated sequences for confirmations, nurture, renewals, and review requests — written in your brand voice, not default platform copy.

07

Reporting & Dashboards

Owner-level visibility across lead volume, pipeline health, win rate, overdue tasks, and service load — instrumented during the build, not bolted on after.

08

AI-Assisted Operations & SOPs

Using AI to accelerate the unglamorous work: drafting communication templates, structuring SOPs, cleaning and mapping data, and documenting the system you just paid for.

Featured Work

Two complete builds, documented end to end

Both are mock client projects created for portfolio demonstration — fictional businesses, real systems. Every pipeline, form, workflow, and dashboard described below was built and tested inside GoHighLevel.

Featured Project 01 Mock client project Medical spa Scottsdale, Arizona

Radiance Aesthetics & Wellness

A complete GoHighLevel CRM and marketing automation system for a boutique medical spa — website and funnel through to repeat-client retention, built entirely on one platform.

The Business Challenge

Radiance offers injectables, advanced facials, and skin rejuvenation to professional women aged 30–55, and its reputation rests on personalised, unhurried care. The problem was that the same personal attention was being consumed by administrative work. Inquiries arrived across several channels with no single place to hold them. Booking required back-and-forth messaging that tied up the front desk. Follow-up depended on whoever happened to remember. No-shows went unaddressed, and there was no reliable way to answer a basic question: how many inquiries actually turn into consultations?

The Solution Implemented

I designed and built the entire system inside GoHighLevel — no third-party tool stacking, no integration debt. The build traces one continuous path from first click to repeat client: a branded website and consultation funnel capture the inquiry, a workflow instantly creates the CRM contact and fires confirmation, the lead enters a defined sales pipeline, and the booking calendar closes the loop with automated confirmations and reminders. Reporting sits on top so ownership can read the health of the business without asking anyone for a status update.

CRM Components Built

Data Architecture

Custom fields and custom values structured around treatment interest, lead source, and client lifecycle stage.

Sales Pipeline

Defined stages tracking a lead from new inquiry through consultation, treatment booked, and repeat client.

Forms & Intake

Consultation request form mapped directly to CRM fields, embedded on both the website and the landing funnel.

Calendars & Booking

Self-serve appointment booking with availability rules, confirmation emails, SMS reminders, and scheduling buffers.

Workflow Automation

Automatic contact creation on form submission, workflow routing, confirmation and reminder sequences, and review requests after treatment.

Communication Assets

Branded email and SMS templates covering confirmation, reminder, follow-up, and review-request touchpoints.

Website & Funnel

Full responsive site — services, team, testimonials, FAQ, contact — plus a dedicated consultation funnel and thank-you page, built and tested on desktop and mobile.

Reporting Dashboard

Live view of lead volume, booking rates, and pipeline health for owner-level visibility.

Business Impact

  • Every inquiry becomes a tracked CRM contact automatically — nothing depends on a staff member remembering to log it.
  • Booking is self-serve, removing the scheduling back-and-forth that previously sat with front-desk staff.
  • Confirmation and reminder sequences run without manual intervention, directly targeting the no-show problem.
  • Follow-up, retention, and review requests are systematic rather than dependent on capacity that day.
  • Ownership gains one live view of lead volume, booking rate, and pipeline health.
  • Staff time shifts away from administrative chasing and back toward in-person care.

Featured Project 02 Mock client project Commercial insurance Columbus, Ohio

AnchorPoint Business Insurance LLC

A commercial insurance CRM environment covering new business, underwriting intake, renewal automation, service routing, claims escalation, and compliance-aware process design.

The Business Challenge

A commercial insurance agency runs three operations in parallel — writing new business, protecting renewals, and servicing existing clients — and each has its own timeline and its own failure mode. Quote requests arrive with incomplete underwriting data. Renewals approach silently until they become urgent. Certificate requests and claims land in shared inboxes with no queue, no owner, and no timestamp. AnchorPoint needed a single CRM environment that could hold all three without them contaminating each other, and without duplicate opportunity records multiplying every time a client submitted another form.

The Solution Implemented

I built a three-pipeline architecture in GoHighLevel that separates new business, renewals, and service/claims into distinct operational queues, supported by a deliberately disciplined data model: structured data lives in custom fields, reusable business information lives in custom values, and tags are reserved for segmentation and triggers — never for tracking stage. The critical design decision was making supplemental underwriting forms find and update the existing opportunity rather than create a new one, so every policy keeps a single source of truth. Renewals enter the pipeline automatically 90 days before expiration, and claims intake carries an escalation path for injury-related reports.

CRM Components Built

Data Architecture — 84 Custom Fields

31 contact-level and 53 opportunity-level custom fields, 115 approved tags, and 33 custom values, governed by a clear rule for what belongs where.

3 Pipelines · 18 Stages

New Business Sales (8 stages, inquiry through bound or lost), Renewal (5 stages, 90/60/30-day cadence), and Client Service & Claims (5 stages, requested through closed).

10 Forms

General quote request, detailed commercial intake, workers' compensation, commercial auto, renewal update, COI request, claims report, general contact, referral, and review request.

4 Booking Calendars

New business consultation (30 min), renewal review (30 min), client service call (20 min), and claims support (30 min) — each with business-hour availability, confirmations, SMS reminders, and buffers.

6 Automated Workflows

New business intake, supplemental underwriting update, renewal pipeline logic, renewal communication sequence, COI request routing, and claims intake with escalation.

Underwriting Intake Logic

Three supplemental forms — commercial, workers' comp, and commercial auto — that locate the open opportunity, update line-specific underwriting fields, advance underwriting status, and raise a review task.

Reporting Architecture

Sales KPIs (leads, open opportunities, quotes presented, bound, lost, win rate), revenue KPIs (quoted and bound premium, estimated commission, average deal size), and operational KPIs (renewals due in 90 days, overdue tasks, monthly COI and claims volume).

Compliance & Governance

SMS consent language, privacy policy references, insurance licensing disclaimer, and opt-out guidance — with the system scoped as CRM and operations, not a replacement for a licensed Agency Management System.

Business Impact

  • Every website inquiry automatically becomes a CRM contact and a sales opportunity, with a same-day producer call task attached.
  • Underwriting data from three supplemental forms consolidates into one opportunity record — eliminating the duplicate-record problem at its source.
  • Every active policy enters the renewal pipeline 90 days before expiration on a date-driven trigger, rather than depending on someone watching a spreadsheet.
  • Certificate requests and claims route into a dedicated service queue with an assigned owner, a priority level, and a timestamp.
  • Injury-related claims escalate immediately instead of waiting in a general inbox.
  • Ownership gets one dashboard spanning sales, renewal, service, and claims operations.
  • Consent, disclaimer, and opt-out language is designed into the communication layer rather than retrofitted after the fact.

Workflow & Automation Expertise

Automation is the last step, not the first

Most CRM builds fail because automation gets switched on before anyone agrees what the process is. I work in a fixed order — and the order is the method.

01

Map the process

Document how work actually moves today, including the informal steps nobody wrote down. Identify where handoffs drop.

02

Model the data

Decide what belongs in custom fields, custom values, and tags — before a single record is created. This decision is expensive to reverse.

03

Build the pipelines

Define stages that describe a real operational state, with clear exit criteria. One stage, one meaning, one place.

04

Automate

Layer triggers, conditions, tasks, notifications, and sequences on top of a structure that can already support them.

05

Instrument

Build reporting during the implementation, so the metrics reflect the process instead of whatever the platform happens to track by default.

06

Test & document

Run live end-to-end submissions, verify every field lands correctly, then hand over written documentation of how the system works.

Implementation principles

The rules I build by — each one learned by watching what happens when they're ignored.

  • Structured data belongs in custom fields. Tags are for segmentation and triggers, not storage.
  • One opportunity per policy line or service line — never one per conversation.
  • New business and renewals get separate pipelines. They are different processes with different clocks.
  • Never track the same stage in two places. Duplicate state is how reporting starts lying to you.
  • Reusable business information lives in custom values, so a change is made once, not fifty times.
  • Supplemental forms update existing records. They do not create duplicates.
