Why GoHighLevel Works for Translators and Localization Pros
Most translation businesses run on Google Docs, email threads, and inconsistent intake methods. It leads to:
- Missed messages and duplicate info requests
- Manual quote generation for each client
- No system for nurturing past clients or upselling add-ons
With GoHighLevel, you can set up:
- Web-to-quote forms for new clients
- Service pipelines (by language pair, industry, turnaround)
- Email/SMS workflows for quote delivery, deadline reminders, and post-project surveys
