The Tech Stack Behind the Systems Room

What I actually use. What I set up for clients.

And what I would tell you to skip if you asked

A Note Before You Scroll...

Some of the links on this page are affiliate links. Meaning: if you click through and sign up, I earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.

Here's my rule: if I wouldn't set it up for a paying client, it's not on this page.

Just what I use, what I implement, and what I'd point you toward if you asked me directly.

This page is short on purpose. I'd rather recommend four tools I've actually lived with than pad the list with things I've only heard about. There are more coming — I'm actively evaluating them — and I'll add them here once I can tell you what they did for my business, not just what their sales page says.

How This Page Is Organized

I'll walk you through this in the order a lead actually moves through your business:

The Quick Version

If you don't have time to read the whole page, here's the at-a glance:

Keep scrolling for the full breakdown on each.

1. HighLevel (formerly GoHighLevel)

This is the one that replaced almost everything else. Before GHL, I was paying for a scheduler, an email platform, a landing page builder, a form tool, a CRM, and a course host. Six subscriptions, six logins, six places for something to break, and no way to see whether any of it was actually connected.

Now it's one system. Calendars, pipelines, automations, funnels, email, SMS, memberships, all talking to each other. When a lead books a call, the tag fires, the reminder sequence starts, and the pipeline moves without me touching it. That's the whole point. The tools weren't the problem before. The gaps between them were.

It's also what I build in for clients. Every setup, every snapshot, every workflow I hand off lives here. If you've ever wondered why I talk about systems instead of tactics, this is why: when the pieces are actually connected, you stop losing people between them.

2. Facebook Group Lead Capture

GroupLeads

Here's something most people don't realize until it's too late: Facebook owns your group. You don't

If Facebook decided tomorrow to delete your group, ban your account, or change the algorithm so your posts never show up again — you'd lose everything you built. Unless you've been capturing those members into an email list you actually own.

That's what this section is about. Not growing your groupbut owning the people in it.

3. Organizing the DM Chaos

A small tool that solves a very specific problem: most of my conversations start in DMs, and DMs are not built to be a CRM. Conversations slide down the list. If you've ever opened Messenger on a Monday morning and thought "who was that person I was supposed to follow up with last Thursday?" — you know exactly what I mean.

Messenger Organizer lets me fold conversations into labeled folders across Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Skool, so the people I'm actually in a conversation with don't disappear. Warm leads in one place, current clients in another, everything else where it belongs. It doesn't automate anything. It just keeps me from losing track of humans, which turns out to be most of what a follow-up problem actually is.

5. The Order I Would Build This In

If you're sitting here looking at four tools and thinking "okay but which one first," here's what I'd tell you over coffee.

Don't buy all of it. Build in order.

Phase 1 — Stop the bleeding (Month 1): Get Messenger Organizer ($17 per month). It's the lowest-cost, highest-immediate-relief move on this page. You'll stop losing conversations the same day you install it.

Phase 2 — Own your list (Month 1–2): Add Group Leads ($27/mo) if you have a Facebook group. Every new member automatically lands on your email list from that day forward. You stop bleeding leads out the back of your group.

Phase 3 — Pick your hub (Month 2–3):

The mistake I see most often: Coaches buy a hub before they've fixed the two immediate problems — losing DMs and leaking group members. Don't do that. Stop the bleeding first, then build the hub to hold everything.

6. When Tools Aren't the Problem

If you've made it this far, installed every tool on this page, and your business is still leaking leads — I want to tell you why - gently:

The tools aren't the problem. The infrastructure is.

Tools are objects. Infrastructure is how the objects talk to each other, what happens when a lead does X, where the lead goes next, and what gets automated vs. what requires you.

Coaches buy GHL, they buy Group Leads, they install everything — and six months later they're still overwhelmed, because nobody connected the plumbing. The tools are all installed. They're just not wired together to do anything for you.

If that's where you are, that's what The Systems Room exists for.

I run a Leaky Bucket Audit — a structured diagnostic that finds exactly where your conversion and retention are breaking down, and what it'll take to fix it. You might not need more tools. You probably need the ones you have to actually work together.

More Tools Coming Soon

A handful of tools didn't make this version of the page because I haven't lived with them yet — but I'm actively evaluating them and will add them here once I can tell you what they actually did for my business.

Questions about any of the tools above? DM me. I answer every one.
