From Manual Chaos to Automated Calm: Backend Systems for a Faith-Based Coach

Client Overview

Industry: Spiritual / Faith-Based Coaching
Audience: Christian women experiencing anxiety, burnout, and spiritual depletion
Business Model: Digital products, events, content-driven audience growth
Engagement Type: Monthly Retainer (Systems, Automation, Content Support)
Timeline: First 3 weeks of implementation (ongoing)

The Challenge

Before working together:

  • She had no CRM or automation setup

  • Was unfamiliar with HighLevel

  • Sent every promotional email manually

  • Had no workflows for:

    • Events

    • Forms

    • Purchases

    • Follow-ups

  • Managed content, ministry, and tech all on her own

This created:

  • Constant manual work

  • Inconsistent communication

  • Mental overload

  • Little room to grow without burnout

She needed structure, not more tools.

Client #3 came in with no systems in place.

The Strategy

The goal was to build a calm, centralized backend system that would:

  • Remove the need for manual emails

  • Automate communication across offers and events

  • Organize contacts through tagging and triggers

  • Support content-driven growth without adding complexity

  • Allow the client to focus on creating, not managing tech

Key strategic decisions:

  • Build automation before scaling content

  • Design workflows the client didn’t need to “manage”

  • Connect landing pages, content, emails, and offers into one system

  • Create a foundation that could scale over time

All logic and system architecture were designed and implemented by me, as the client had no prior system experience.

The Implementation

Within the first 3 weeks, I built and implemented:

Backend Systems

  • 3 custom automation workflows

    • Form submissions

    • Event registrations

    • Purchase-based triggers

  • CRM tagging and segmentation for clean contact management

Email Automation

  • 3 email sequences

    • 5-email sequence

    • 3-email sequence

    • 2-email sequence

  • Automated confirmations, follow-ups, and communications

Ongoing Retainer Support

  • System maintenance and expansion

  • Video editing for:

    • Reel

    • courses videos

  • Content posting and integration

  • Connecting content → landing pages → funnels → automation

This is a phased implementation, with additional programs and automations planned.

Funnels & Pages

  • High-converting landing pages connected directly to workflows

  • Funnel logic aligned with content and offers

  • Digital storefront setup connected to backend automation

Even in the early phase, the impact was immediate:

  • No more manual email sending

  • Automated communication for events and offers

  • Organized backend system with clear logic

  • Significant time savings

  • Reduced overwhelm

Client feedback included:

“You’re doing the magic.”
“This saved me so much time.”
Client can finally focus on creating instead of stressing over tech.

She now focuses on:

  • Creating videos

  • Serving her audience

  • Growing her ministry

While the system runs quietly in the background.
