HighLevel

If you’re looking for GoHighLevel training in the UK, MarketerM8 and Julian Mills run a programme of free, live and practical HighLevel training workshops designed to help you understand the platform and, more importantly, actually use it to improve your marketing and sales.

Whether you’re completely new to GoHighLevel, already using HighLevel but only scratching the surface, or responsible for managing HighLevel inside your business, you can join our live training workshops free of charge.

We run a rolling programme of 13 live HighLevel workshops, covering everything from the foundations of the CRM through to sales pipelines, workflows, websites, marketing automation and HighLevel’s rapidly developing AI tools.

You don’t need to start at Workshop 1. Join the sessions that are relevant to you, ask questions live and come back for others as you need them.

GoHighLevel or HighLevel. What’s the Difference?

If you’ve been searching for GoHighLevel training, HighLevel training or GHL training, you’re looking for the same platform.

GoHighLevel is now generally branded simply as HighLevel, which is the name we tend to use. However, plenty of people still call it GoHighLevel or GHL, particularly when searching online for training, help and support.

Whatever you call it, these workshops are designed to help you get more from the platform.

HighLevel Training Backed by Real Marketing Experience

Learning where to click in HighLevel is relatively easy.

Knowing what you should actually build, why you should build it and how it can improve your marketing and sales is much more valuable.

That’s where our approach to HighLevel training is different.

The workshops are led by Julian Mills, who brings together two areas of experience that don’t often come in the same package:

• 30 years of hands-on direct marketing experience, working with entrepreneurs, business owners and marketers.
• 17 years working with CRM and marketing automation, helping businesses automate and systemise their marketing and sales processes.

Since 2009, Julian has helped hundreds of businesses use CRM and marketing automation more effectively.

And this isn’t experience from the sidelines.

Julian is also an Entrepreneurs Circle Certified Coach and has helped Entrepreneurs Circle GenieAI subscribers implement AI and marketing automation in their businesses.

This combination of coaching, marketing and technology experience is important because successful marketing automation isn’t really about the software. It’s about understanding what you’re trying to achieve and then using the right technology to make it happen.

But perhaps most importantly, Julian still works “in the trenches”.

He doesn’t just teach marketing theory or demonstrate HighLevel features. Through MarketerM8, Julian works directly with businesses using HighLevel to solve real marketing, sales and operational problems.

That experience feeds directly back into the training.

You’re Learning Marketing, Not Just HighLevel

HighLevel is an incredibly powerful piece of software, but software on its own doesn’t generate results.

A workflow is only useful if you understand who should receive it, what should happen, when it should happen and what you’re trying to achieve.

A sales pipeline is only useful if it reflects how your business actually sells.

An email campaign still needs the right message and offer.

A lead nurture sequence needs to understand why somebody hasn’t bought yet.

And AI doesn’t remove the need to understand your customer.

That’s why our workshops don’t simply show you how a HighLevel feature works.

Wherever possible, Julian also explains how he would use it as a marketer.

For example, rather than simply showing you how to build an automated follow-up workflow, we’ll look at questions such as:

• What should happen when a new lead arrives?
• How quickly should you respond?
• When should automation be used and when should a human take over?
• What should you say to a prospect who isn’t ready to buy yet?
• How do you stop good leads falling through the cracks?
• What can you automate without making your business feel automated?

These are marketing and business questions first.

HighLevel is the tool we use to implement the answers.

30 Years of Marketing Experience Meets HighLevel

Julian started working in direct marketing in 1996, long before marketing automation, AI and even Google became part of everyday marketing.

He began specialising in CRM and marketing automation in 2009 with Infusionsoft (later known as Keap) and started working with HighLevel in 2023.

That combination matters.

The technology has changed enormously, but many of the fundamentals haven’t.

• You still need the right offer.
• You still need to generate enquiries.
• You still need to follow them up.
• You still need to convert prospects into customers.
• You still need to keep and develop those customers once you’ve won them.

HighLevel gives businesses an extraordinary collection of tools for doing those things.

Our training is about understanding both the tools and the marketing thinking behind how you use them.

Who Is Our GoHighLevel Training For?

Our live HighLevel workshops are particularly useful if you are:

• New to HighLevel and want to understand how everything fits together.
• A business owner who wants to know what HighLevel could automate or improve.
• Already using HighLevel but suspect you’re only using a fraction of what it can do.
• An in-house CRM Champion responsible for managing HighLevel for your organisation.
• A marketing or sales team member who needs to use particular parts of HighLevel effectively.
• An agency owner wanting to understand HighLevel well enough to use it with clients.

You don’t need to be technical.

The objective is to understand HighLevel well enough to use it confidently in the real world.

How the Free Live HighLevel Training Works

The programme consists of 13 workshops running on a rolling basis.

The workshops are live on Zoom, so you can follow the demonstrations and ask questions.

You can join the programme at any point. There is no requirement to wait for Workshop 1 or attend all 13 sessions in order.

If you’re struggling with workflows, come to the workflows workshop.

If you want to replace Calendly, come to the calendars workshop.

If you’re wondering what HighLevel AI can actually do for your business, join the AI Employee workshop.

And because the programme keeps rolling, you can come back to other subjects as you need them.

We Use HighLevel With Real Businesses

One of the reasons we run these workshops is that training and implementation go hand in hand.

At MarketerM8, we’re not teaching HighLevel from a training manual. We work with businesses using HighLevel to solve actual sales, marketing, CRM and automation problems.

And sometimes the most interesting learning comes from what our clients do themselves.

These aren’t hypothetical examples. They’re the sort of things we’re seeing businesses actually do with HighLevel.

And they illustrate something I think is increasingly important about HighLevel training.

The objective shouldn’t be to make you dependent on a HighLevel consultant.

My preference is to help you and your team understand the platform, know what’s possible and become increasingly capable of doing more yourselves.

Then specialist help can be used where it actually adds value.

What If Free HighLevel Workshops Aren’t Enough?

The free workshops won’t be the right solution for everyone.

Sometimes you don’t need another general training session. You need somebody to look at your business, your processes and your HighLevel account.

That’s where we can provide more hands-on help.

Remote HighLevel Training

We can work with you and your team remotely via Zoom, concentrating specifically on the parts of HighLevel you need.

Rather than following a generic training programme, the sessions can focus on your own business, your HighLevel account and what you’re trying to achieve.

Find Out About Remote HighLevel Training & Implementation →

On-Site HighLevel Training

For businesses that want to get a team working together, Julian can also provide on-site HighLevel training and implementation.

Rather than working through hypothetical examples, we can work on your actual HighLevel account and business processes.

Find Out About On-Site HighLevel Training & Implementation →

Done-With-You HighLevel Implementation

Sometimes the issue isn’t really training at all.

You know what you want the business to achieve, but you need help designing how HighLevel, your sales process, marketing automation, AI and other systems should fit together.

That’s where our Done-With-You approach comes in.

We can work together to design and implement the system while developing somebody inside your organisation to become your internal CRM Champion.

The aim is not to create dependency. It’s to help you build the system while transferring the knowledge to your own team.

Why Is the HighLevel Workshop Training Free?

There’s no complicated catch.

Some people attending the workshops already use HighLevel through MarketerM8. Some use HighLevel through another agency. Others are simply investigating whether HighLevel is right for them.

Of course, some attendees may eventually decide they want additional help or choose to use HighLevel through MarketerM8.

But you don’t have to.

We’d much rather demonstrate what we know by providing genuinely useful training than spend an hour delivering a sales pitch disguised webinar.

Frequently Asked Questions About GoHighLevel Training

Is GoHighLevel the Same as HighLevel?

Yes. The platform is commonly referred to as both GoHighLevel and HighLevel, and you may also see it abbreviated to GHL.

Is the HighLevel Training Really Free?

Yes. The 13 live MarketerM8 HighLevel workshops are free to attend.

Do I Need to Attend All 13 Workshops?

No. Each workshop concentrates on a particular area of HighLevel, so you can attend the subjects most relevant to you.

Because the programme runs on a rolling basis, you can join at any point.

Is the Training Suitable for Complete HighLevel Beginners?

Yes.

If you’re completely new, the HighLevel Foundations for Beginners workshop is the best place to start.

You can then attend the specialist workshops as your knowledge develops.

Do I Need to Be a MarketerM8 Customer?

No.

The live workshops are open to HighLevel users whether or not their account is provided by MarketerM8.

Can You Train My Whole Team on HighLevel?

Yes.

If you need training built around your own business rather than the general workshop programme, we offer remote HighLevel training and on-site HighLevel training and implementation.

Can You Help Us Build Things in HighLevel as Well as Train Us?

Yes.

In fact, we often find this is the most effective approach.

Rather than separating “training” from “implementation”, we can work on your actual HighLevel system together.

Your team learns why and how something is being built while we make useful progress on the CRM at the same time.

Is This Just HighLevel Software Training?

No, and that’s an important distinction.

The workshops show you how HighLevel works, but they’re informed by Julian’s 30 years of hands-on direct marketing experience and 17 years working with CRM and marketing automation.

Where appropriate, we’ll discuss the marketing thinking behind what we’re building rather than simply showing you which buttons to press.

Here’s a little productivity win that gave me a lightbulb moment this week…

I was implementing a smart QR code ticketing system inside HighLevel — a strategy I first learned from Pat Friel (you can read my full how-to here: Create personalised QR code event tickets using HighLevel).

Everything was working nicely… until I hit a technical snag.

I needed a way to display a message on the check-in form if someone had already redeemed their ticket — to stop any cheeky double use. And this isn’t something HighLevel does natively.

Pat said: “Just add a bit of JavaScript.”

Now, I’m not a developer. I know what JavaScript is, but writing it? Not my thing.

In the past, this would have stopped me in my tracks.
But then I remembered my trusty assistant: ChatGPT.

---

👨‍💻 The Ask

I typed this into ChatGPT:

“Can you write me a JavaScript code to create a visual notification on a HighLevel form that a ticket has already been redeemed? The inbound link will include data for ‘already_redeemed=yes’, and when it does, I want to clearly display that this ticket has already been used.”

Within seconds, it gave me the code.
Not just that — I asked it for improvements, tweaks, styling, and it adapted the code each time.

No Stack Overflow trawling. No trial-and-error.
Just a working solution — in under 5 minutes.

---

🧠 Why This Is a Big Deal for Marketers

Let’s be honest: as marketers, we often need little bits of code — a script to hide a button, validate a field, tweak how something displays. But if you’re not a developer, it can feel like you’ve hit a wall.

Now, thanks to ChatGPT, we can skip the frustration and get working solutions fast.

This is a game-changer.

Whether you need:

• a script to hide form elements conditionally

• a countdown timer

• a way to pre-fill fields based on URL parameters

• or anything else slightly techy but not full-scale development…

Just describe the problem in plain English, and ChatGPT will help you build it.

---

✅ My Tip: Treat ChatGPT Like a Junior Dev

You don’t need to learn to code. You just need to know what you want to happen.

Ask ChatGPT like you’re briefing a junior developer:

• “I want to show a red message if a parameter in the URL says ‘already_redeemed=yes’”

• “Can you make the message bold and use a warning icon?”

• “Now also hide the submit button if it’s redeemed”

It’ll guide you step-by-step.

---

🚀 One More Productivity Hack Unlocked

I’ve always said that marketers today are part-strategist, part-techie, part-content creator.

ChatGPT is like having a little tech assistant in your pocket, ready to fill in your skill gaps — and speed things up.

No need to outsource tiny tasks.
No need to get stuck.

Just ask, tweak, and copy-paste.

---

Try it. Next time you need something coded — just ask ChatGPT. You might be surprised how far it can take you.

• QR Code Ticketing in HighLevel – Full Tutorial

[[ UPDATE 11 Aug 2026 — While you can still “hack” HighLevel as per below. HighLevel have just launched Events and Ticketing which makes it much easier. It is still in Beta so you may need to ask your administrator to enable this functionality Here is the link to my article on this new and exciting module. Click Here.    Julian  ]]

If you run events, workshops or appointments — and want an easy way to manage attendance, check-ins and follow-ups — QR code tickets are a brilliant solution.

HighLevel doesn’t include a built-in QR ticketing system out of the box, but with a clever workflow and a third-party QR generator, you can create personalised, scannable tickets that sync directly with your CRM.

This guide — including a great explainer video by Pat Friedl— shows you how to do it step-by-step.

---

Why Use QR Code Tickets?

QR tickets let you:

• Send each attendee a unique, scannable link

• Check them in quickly at the door using a mobile or tablet

• Trigger workflows when they arrive (e.g. thank-you message, survey)

• Prevent link sharing — every code is personalised to that person

• Create a professional, smooth experience for both you and your attendees

---

Step 1: Watch Pat Friedls’ Setup Tutorial 🎥

Before you dive in, watch this short video by Pat Friedl. It walks you through exactly how to use dynamic QR codes in a HighLevel workflow:

Key points covered in the video:

• Use a QR code generator (like qrserver.com or a similar service) to create the image

• Create a dynamic link, such as:
  https://yourdomain.com/ticket?contact={{contact.id}}

• Use a custom field to store the QR code image URL, which updates per contact

• The unique QR code is generated outside of HighLevel by a third party service. For data security we do not send “off site” any personal data. Rather we first generate a unique, “trigger link” in HighLevel which contains no personal identifiable data and this is used to generate the unique QR code image.
• Ticket security – only allow redemption once. When the ticket is first redeemed capture this data in a custom field – eg. “Ticket previosuly Redeemed”. Be sure to include this in the data that gets passed into the QR code and so populates the entry form when scanned. So staff can visually see the ticket has previously been redeemed.

Although it’s not native functionality, this workaround lets you generate and store a unique ticket for each person — ready to embed in printed tickets, emails or SMS.

---

Step 2: Design and Send the Ticket

Once the QR code image is created and stored, you can add it to:

• A confirmation email with event details

• An SMS with a link to a branded ticket landing page

• A printable ticket (PDF or email format)

Make sure your landing page recognises the contact ID and optionally displays their name, booking details, or any special access they’ve been granted.

---

Step 3: Scan and Trigger Automation

At the event, simply scan attendees’ QR codes using a smartphone or tablet. Each code should link to a unique URL that:

• Logs the check-in (using a form, survey or trigger link)

• Tags the contact (e.g. “Attended Live Workshop”)

• Triggers workflows like:

  • Sending a thank-you message

  • Offering a limited-time upsell

  • Booking the next appointment or event

This process gives you a light-touch, CRM-integrated way to manage attendance and automate your post-event follow-up.

---

Example Use Cases

• Live Workshops – Register attendees with QR tickets, track who came, and follow up after

• Appointments – Use QR codes to signal arrival at a physical location

• Team Training – Record attendance for internal events or CPD sessions

• Pop-Up Events – Combine email confirmation + QR access in one seamless flow

---

Final Thoughts

While HighLevel doesn’t (yet) have a built-in QR ticketing module, you can achieve this setup using:

• External QR code generators

• Contact-based custom fields

• Smart workflows and landing pages

Thanks to Pat Friedls’ video and some light customisation, you can turn HighLevel into a simple, efficient ticketing tool — without needing Eventbrite or complex third-party tools.

Direct mail is far from dead. In fact, when done well, it can outperform digital campaigns by a mile. But the key word here is well. The old ‘spray and pray’ letters are long gone. Today’s successful direct mail campaigns are personalised, trackable and interactive — and one of the easiest ways to make that happen is by using QR codes.

In this post, I’ll show you how to create direct mail campaigns that integrate seamlessly with HighLevel and use QR codes to bridge the offline-to-online gap.

---

Why QR Codes?

QR codes allow you to:

• Track who responds to your mail campaign

• Send people directly to a personalised online experience

• Trigger automations inside HighLevel (like email or SMS follow-ups)

• Add measurable ROI to your offline marketing

They’re simple to generate, easy for customers to scan with a smart phone, and — when connected to a CRM like HighLevel — incredibly powerful.

---

Step 1: Use Pat Friedls’ Walkthrough to Set Up QR Code Generation 🎥

Before you build your direct mail campaign, I recommend watching this short video by Pat Friedl. He walks through the exact steps to generate dynamic QR codes inside a HighLevel workflow:

This approach creates a QR code image that’s unique for each contact and stored in a contact custom field — a key step in delivering a personalised direct mail experience.

An important note. The unique QR code is generated outside of HighLevel by a third party service. For data security we do not send “off site” any personal data. Rather we first generate a unique, “trigger link” in HighLevel which contains no personal identifiable data and this is used to generate the unique QR code image.

---

Step 2: Design Your Direct Mail Piece

Now you’ve got a QR code stored for each recipient, it’s time to create your mailer.

Some quick design tips:

• Include a clear call to action, e.g. “Scan this code to claim your VIP pass”

• Make sure your QR code prints clearly — test it before sending

• Use personalisation like the recipient’s first name or company name to boost engagement

You can produce the mailers using an office printer, or send them automatically via webhooks to direct mail fulfilment services like STANNP.

---

Step 3: Automate the Journey After the Scan

This is where HighLevel really comes into its own. Once someone scans the QR code and visits your landing page, you can:

• Trigger a tag (e.g. “Scanned Direct Mail QR”)

• Start an email or SMS nurture sequence

• Drop them into your sales pipeline

• Send an internal alert to a sales rep

• Offer a limited-time page or hidden content

• Enter them into a competition
• Plus many more use cases

Because the contact ID is embedded in the QR URL, HighLevel can instantly identify the contact and start tracking their journey.

---

Final Thoughts

Combining unique QR codes with HighLevel transforms direct mail into something powerful:

• It’s trackable

• It’s automated

• And it delivers real results

If you’re already using HighLevel (or my white-label version, MarketerM8), this is a brilliant way to stand out in a noisy market and drive measurable response from your offline activity.

If you rely on HighLevel to power your marketing, CRM or automation systems, it’s only natural to want a heads-up if there’s ever an issue.

No system—no matter how robust—can offer 100% uptime. Whether it’s planned maintenance or an unexpected interruption, even the best platforms occasionally go offline.

So, rather than sitting in the dark wondering why something isn’t working, here’s how you can stay in the loop when HighLevel has an issue.

Where to Check HighLevel’s System Status

HighLevel has a dedicated status page that gives you real-time updates on how everything is running:
👉 https://status.gohighlevel.com

This page gives you a clear, up-to-date view of:

• Any known incidents or outages

• Scheduled maintenance windows

• Status of core services like email, calendars, workflows, etc.

• Historical uptime reports if you want to look back

Be the First to Know — Subscribe for Alerts

You can also subscribe to receive alerts whenever there’s an update—so you’re the first to know if something goes down.

Just hit “Subscribe to Updates” on the page and choose how you’d like to be notified:

It only takes a few seconds and it means you’re not left second-guessing when something doesn’t work as expected.

A Quick Reality Check

Even the biggest tech giants experience the odd hiccup. While HighLevel has a strong track record and continues to invest in reliability, it’s worth remembering that no platform can guarantee 100% uptime.

That’s why subscribing to the status page is a smart move. It gives you visibility and reassurance—and helps you act quickly if something’s not right.

One Final Tip

Bookmark the status page or add it to your team dashboard. If anything’s playing up, you can check it in seconds and avoid wasting time trying to troubleshoot something that’s out of your hands.

If you’re looking for a CRM and marketing automation platform, two big names that come up are HubSpot and HighLevel.

On the surface, both claim to offer an all-in-one system – CRM, email, automation, landing pages, and more. But under the hood, these platforms are built for very different audiences and budgets.

So, how do they compare? And which is better for your business?

---

🧰 What Is HubSpot?

HubSpot is one of the most recognisable names in CRM and inbound marketing software. It’s an enterprise-grade platform used by thousands of businesses worldwide – from startups to Fortune 500 companies.

It’s known for its clean interface, comprehensive feature set, and vast ecosystem of integrations.

HubSpot offers:

• CRM and sales pipeline tools

• Marketing automation (email, forms, CTAs, landing pages)

• Helpdesk and customer service tools

• Website CMS, blog, and SEO tools

• Reporting dashboards and integrations

But it comes with a catch – cost. While there’s a free CRM, advanced features like automation, custom reporting, and sales sequences quickly push you into the paid tiers, which can escalate fast (often into hundreds or thousands per month).

---

⚙️ What Is HighLevel?

HighLevel (GoHighLevel) is a newer platform that’s built for agility and affordability. Originally launched for marketing agencies, it’s now widely used by small to medium-sized businesses, multi-location firms, and growing service providers.

HighLevel includes:

• Full CRM and sales pipeline management

• Automation across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and voice

• Funnels, websites, surveys, and landing pages

• Booking calendars and live chat widgets

• Social media post scheduling

• AI agents for chat, phone, and workflow creation

Everything you need to attract leads, nurture prospects, and convert sales – all under one roof, with flat monthly pricing and unlimited contacts.

---

🔍 Side-by-Side Hubspot vs HighLevel Comparison

 

🧠 Which Should You Choose?

✅ Choose HubSpot if:

• You’re a larger organisation or SaaS business

• You need enterprise-grade reporting, lead scoring, and integrations

• You have the budget for its premium features (£500–£2000+ monthly isn’t a dealbreaker)

• You want a polished UI with strong customer support and add-ons

✅ Choose HighLevel if:

• You’re a coach, consultant, agency, or local business looking to automate and grow

• You want full CRM and automation tools without stacking up costs

• You want to consolidate multiple tools (e.g. Calendly, Mailchimp, ClickFunnels)

• You need SMS/WhatsApp/email automation in one place

• You’re growing and want unlimited users and contacts on a single plan

---

💬 Real-World Perspective

• HubSpot is polished and powerful – but often overkill (and overpriced) for small businesses. Many users only scratch the surface of what they’re paying for.

• HighLevel gives you 80–90% of the functionality most businesses need, for a fraction of the cost. You lose some polish, but gain speed, control, and all-in-one simplicity.

---

🚀 Final Verdict

If you’re an enterprise team needing deep integrations, account-based marketing, or enterprise sales tools – HubSpot may be worth the investment.

But if you’re a growing business that wants to manage leads, automate follow-ups, book appointments, and run marketing all in one place – without bleeding cash each month – HighLevel is the smarter, leaner choice.
