Examples in Practice
1. Automate New Client Intake
A Facebook ad leads to a funnel:
- Client fills in goals, injuries, preferences
- GHL creates contact, tags goal type (weight loss, strength, etc.)
- Sends welcome email, prompts to book intro call
2. Book Classes with Zero Admin
Clients pick a class or session on your GHL calendar.
You can:
- Set max attendees
- Automate confirmation/reminders
- Lock out double-booking
3. Trigger Progress Check-ins
Create workflows like:
- “3 Weeks Since Signup → Send Check-In Form”
- “6 Weeks Inactive → Prompt Rebooking”
4. Sell Digital Training Programs
Use Funnels + Memberships to sell:
- 4-week home programs
- Meal plans
- Video libraries
Clients pay, receive access, and get added to a nurture workflow.
