Running an agency sometimes feels like you’re spinning plates while riding a unicycle on fire.
Clients want results yesterday, tech keeps changing, and every little hiccup can throw your whole system off.
That’s why tools like HighLevel are a game-changer, they organize the chaos.
But let’s be real, HighLevel isn’t magic.
Like any powerful tool, it comes with quirks that can trip you up if you don’t know the best practices. So today, I want to break down a few quick wins and troubleshooting fixes that can make your life way easier.
Custom Branding in Membership Portals
Ever sign into your membership portal and see HighLevel’s logo hanging out where your brand should be? Not cool.
The fix: use custom CSS to prioritize your client’s branding, swap in logos, and polish the experience so it feels fully custom.
Trust me, the difference between “generic SaaS” and “wow, this looks slick” is just a few style tweaks away.
👉 Pro Tip: Don’t overcomplicate it. Start with small changes (like swapping logos and colors) before you go down the rabbit hole of overdesign.
Selling Swag with Printful
Want to sell t-shirts, mugs, or hats with your brand (or your client’s)? HighLevel integrates with Printful, which means you can automate swag sales right inside your CRM.
Imagine:
- A client joins your membership → boom, they get a custom welcome shirt.
- You run an event → attendees can order branded merch without you ever touching inventory.
It’s one of those small revenue streams that also builds community and loyalty. Pretty sweet, right?
Zoom Links That Don’t Drive You Crazy
If you’re syncing HighLevel’s calendar with Zoom, you might’ve noticed that auto-generated meeting links can get messy. Sometimes they glitch, sometimes they confuse clients.
Here’s a simple fix: switch to using your personal Zoom meeting link. It keeps things clean, consistent, and easy to share.
No more digging through your calendar to figure out which link actually works.
👉 Pro Tip: If you’re hosting group calls, just use one “master link” and save it as a snippet you can reuse.
The Big Picture
HighLevel is insanely flexible—that’s its superpower. But flexibility means you’ve gotta set things up the right way to avoid headaches later.
If you remember nothing else from this post, remember this:
- Branding matters. A small CSS tweak can completely change client perception.
- Integrations are leverage. Don’t reinvent the wheel—connect tools like Printful to make money in new ways.
- Simplify whenever you can. Whether it’s Zoom links, workflows, or settings—clean and simple always wins.
