Automating the Customer Journey with Jamie Gilleland

At every turn, business owners, managers, and entrepreneurs hear terms like “automation” and “digital marketing” but precious few have any idea of the incredible value automation holds for even the smallest companies. Imagine a technology that allows seamless follow-up with prospects, nurturing emails to help convert leads, tasks that are automatically generated based on an event that did (or did not) take place, and “hands-off” invoicing, billing, and sales pipelines. THAT’S what automating the customer journey really is, and the best part? As powerful as it can be, the costs associated with implementing it are a fraction of what even a minimum wage employee costs, and unlike an employee, your automation software never needs a day off, never takes a holiday, and never quits with no notice. About the Speaker: Jamie Gilleland is an international speaker, best-selling author, and sales automation expert who has been involved in sales, marketing, and technology for decades. She is one of the most successful Keap Partners in the world whose strategies and campaigns have been used by some of the biggest names in the coaching industry for one simple reason – they work. While Jamie G. teaches the secrets of business and automation success through Keep It Simple Strategies, and as a trusted advisor to dozens of companies and businesses around the world, she’s also focused on far bigger conversations around life, health, and success. Partnerships and licensing agreements with industry leaders like Grant Cardone, Ryan Deiss, and Michael E. Gerber, have allowed Jamie G. and her team to show business owners and entrepreneurs how to grow their businesses in ways they've never imagined – not only through practical advice, but also, by outlining the exact steps to take to identify, set, and then exceed their business and life goals. Since 2021, Jamie has broadened her focus beyond “just” business success with the Jamie G brand to focus on life coaching. Besides teaching entrepreneurs how to successfully grow companies, Jamie shares a passion to show how important it is for every entrepreneur, especially women, to seek a far richer and fuller life – not just for family, not just for a career, and not just for some mythical “retirement plan.” Remember, you don’t know how what you don’t know, and if you aren’t sure where to start systemizing your own business and processes, you can never scale. Last year, Jamie and her brands helped to account for millions of dollars in closed sales and millions of hours in saved time– how much of that could have been yours? ________ About the Creative Coast Our Mission Our Mission is to catalyze the innovation economy in Coastal Georgia.
