Hi, I'm Ramon. I build automated marketing systems that save businesses 20+ hours per week and turn leads into paying clients on autopilot. What I've built recently: Automated client onboarding systems that cut setup time from days to minutes • Review generation systems that automatically request Google reviews • AI booking bots that convert 40% more leads into scheduled calls • Quote system API integrations that sync pricing in real-time • Phone migrations from RingCentral to High Level with zero downtime • LinkedIn lead generation automation feeding directly into CRM workflows • Custom dashboards with real-time lead source visibility • AI-assisted MVP builds using vibe coding I'm a Certified High Level Admin with 3+ years of daily platform experience (since January 2023), plus marketing automation work since 2017 using ClickFunnels, ActiveCampaign, and Zapier. My background combines nearly 20 years of B2B support with hands-on automation across insurance, health & wellness, home services, real estate, and financial services. What makes my approach different: I build complete marketing systems that actually work together. My specialty is automating the manual tasks eating up your time—lead follow-up, client onboarding, review requests, appointment booking—through High Level, Make, N8N, and smart integrations. Recent builds: High Level Systems: Snapshot templates for sales teams (lead forms, chat, email/SMS sequences, custom dashboards, phone systems, pipelines) • AI Studio websites with custom calculators and booking systems for insurance agents • Phone system migrations (RingCentral to High Level, documentation, carrier approvals) • Subaccount exports/imports for agencies • Multi-platform review systems (Google/Facebook automation with timing triggers) Advanced Integrations: API integrations using Make and N8N (quote systems to High Level, automated follow-up, real-time dashboards) • LinkedIn lead gen via PhantomBuster to High Level • Webhook integrations from WordPress forms to High Level automations • Facebook lead ads with instant follow-up • Slack, email, SMS notifications when leads arrive or calls book AI-Assisted Development: MVP builds using High Level AI Studio • No-code/low-code prototypes with Claude Code and Antigravity • Custom tools and calculators • AI-powered workflow automation I handle the technical stuff most avoid: A2P verification for SMS compliance, complex integrations, CRM migrations, custom reporting. My IT background means I'm patient with troubleshooting and test everything before it goes live. Tech stack: Platforms: High Level (Certified Admin), Make, N8N, Zapier AI & Development: High Level AI Studio, Claude Code, Antigravity, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini Integrations: PhantomBuster, RingCentral migrations, WordPress webhooks, Stripe, PayPal, API work Experience with: ClickFunnels, ActiveCampaign, WordPress, most major CRMs Specialties: API integrations, phone system setup/migrations, SMS compliance (A2P/10DLC), review generation, AI-assisted MVP development, N8N automation Why clients work with me: ✅ US-based (Florida, Eastern Time) - same timezone, fast communication ✅ Available 30+ hours weekly - responsive and reliable ✅ Bilingual (English/Spanish) - diverse client base ✅ Clear communication - no ghosting ✅ Documentation included - SOPs and training videos for everything ✅ IT background - 20 years troubleshooting complex issues ✅ Certified High Level Admin - official platform expertise Industries served: Insurance • Health & Wellness • Home Services • Real Estate • Financial Services • Local Businesses If your marketing tools aren't talking to each other or you're doing the same tasks repeatedly, I can help. I build systems that work and stick around to keep them working.
