Dot Academy GHL Workflow Review

Automations stay drafted until Travis approves the moves.

This is the approval-ready blueprint for the GHL system: lead magnet, book buyer ascension, speaking pipeline, quote follow-up, event fulfillment, and coaching application routing.

GHL locations are provisioned. Workflows stay approval-gated.

Shifting Gears / Dot Academy and TBT Racing now have separate GHL locations with Travis/admin invites sent. The remaining work is to install draft workflows, keep all messaging disabled, and wait for Travis approval plus Fireflies-confirmed offer terms before anything goes live.

01

GHL sub-accounts provisioned

TBT Racing and Shifting Gears / Dot Academy are separated into their own client locations so racing/franchise data never mixes with the book/Dot Academy platform.

02

Travis admin invites sent

Travis and the known TBT admin contacts have been invited. Any additional roster changes should stay approval-gated before activation.

03

Install approval workflows

Build workflows as drafts first, keep all messaging off until Travis approves copy, compliance language, offers, and pricing.

04

Connect domains and sending

Set up branded email/SMS sending, consent capture, reply routing, calendar ownership, and Stripe/payment ownership before launch.

Workflow blueprints.

Built like GHL draft specs: trigger, channel, approval gate, and the sequence steps that should be reviewed before any email, SMS, or opportunity automation is activated.

Launch safeguards.

A world-class funnel does not just send more messages. It protects consent, keeps high-ticket commitments human-approved, and gives Travis a dashboard he can trust.

Consent first

SMS and email sequences should only fire after explicit opt-in, with unsubscribe language and sender identity handled before activation.

Human approval gates

Speaking quotes, coaching acceptance, partner paths, and high-ticket advisory should create tasks for Travis/Julian instead of auto-closing.

Dashboard proof

Track applications, booked calls, book buyers, event bundles, abandoned checkouts, and high-ticket opportunities by source.

AI-assisted, not AI-loose

AI can draft replies and summarize applications, but offer terms and client-facing commitments should stay approval-gated.
