The No-BS HighLevel SaaS Success Guide
If you’ve been itching to take your HighLevel SaaS to the moon but feel like you’re stuck spinning your wheels, listen up. I’ve got something for you that might just flip the switch on your entire business.
The Big Secret: Arbitrage
First, let me introduce you to a concept that changed my business life forever: arbitrage.
Arbitrage is basically the art of finding (and exploiting) gaps in the market. Picture this: You buy water bottles at 10 cents each from a wholesaler, then turn around and sell them at a concert for 6 bucks a pop. That markup? That’s the sweet, sweet profit.
Business is all about arbitrage—spotting those hidden opportunities and moving fast before everyone else catches on.
Real-World Example: HighLevel’s Missed Call Text-Back
Remember when HighLevel first launched the “missed call text-back” feature? No one else was doing it. The SaaS owners who pounced early and sold that as their unique advantage got massive results—first-mover advantage in action!
But guess what happens when the rest of the market notices a killer feature? They jump on it, too. And by the time it becomes mainstream, the advantage is gone (yep, it’s “arbitraged away”).
Being Early = Your Secret Weapon
If you can’t lock in a patent or exclusivity on your idea or feature, you have to be first. When you spot an overlooked feature (or combine several features and add-ons into a brand-new bundle), you beat everyone else to the punch.
The same goes for content. If your funnel strategy or drip sequence is totally unique—if it converts like crazy—then that is your arbitrage. (Just note that if you “borrow” someone else’s system or snapshot, you’re already late to the party.)
So, you’ve created your special sauce—your one-of-a-kind HighLevel SaaS solution. Now what?
Step 2: The Customer Flywheel
Here’s where the rubber meets the road: the user bell curve.
You’ve probably seen this thing a million times—early adopters, early majority, and so on. But let’s break down how it actually helps you.
1. Early Adopters
These people are in pain. They have a pressing problem, and they’ll try almost anything for relief. They don’t need proof. They don’t need testimonials. They’re desperate, and they want your solution now.
They’re also only about 13% of the market at any given moment. But guess what? They are the key to unlocking everything else.
Your mission:
- Find your early adopters.
- Get your product in their hands.
- Collect those golden testimonials and reviews.
2. Early Majority
Now you’ve got social proof from the early adopters—time to go after the early majority. This is a much bigger group, but they’re naturally more skeptical. They need reassurance, proof, and success stories before they buy in.
Lucky for you, you already have that—thanks to your early adopters! Once you nail the early majority, you hit escape velocity. Word-of-mouth starts buzzing, and your growth skyrockets.
The tricky part here is the gap between the early adopters and the early majority—the famous “chasm.” You might have heard of it from the book Crossing the Chasm. If you don’t make that leap, you stay stuck with a tiny user base forever.
Wrapping Up the Fundamentals
That’s it, my friend. That’s how you leverage arbitrage and the customer flywheel to blast your HighLevel SaaS into the stratosphere.
- Spot the gap (arbitrage opportunity).
- Move fast before others catch on.
- Target early adopters, get proof, then scale to the early majority.
And remember: business is dynamic—what works today might not work tomorrow. So you’ve got to keep your eyes wide open and be ready to jump on the next big thing.
