Understanding the area code of your leads' phone numbers can significantly improve your call-to-connect ratio. Knowing where your leads are located allows you to time your calls better, hitting those golden windows when they are most likely to pick up, like right after work or during lunch hours. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on how you can use ChatGPT and Go High Level CRM to automate this process and increase your chances of connecting with your leads.

Step 1: Export Your Leads from Your CRM

If you’re using Go High Level CRM, start by exporting your contacts into a CSV file. 

1. Navigate to the Contacts section in your CRM.

2. Select all contacts and click on Export. This will generate a CSV file of all your leads.

Step 2: Use ChatGPT to Identify Area Codes and Time Zones

ChatGPT’s advanced capabilities make it easy to process your leads’ phone numbers and extract their area codes and time zones. This process requires a paid version of ChatGPT, which costs about $20 a month, but it’s worth the investment for the ease it provides.

1. Open your ChatGPT account and use the file upload feature to drag and drop your CSV file.

2. Input a prompt that instructs ChatGPT to find the area code location and associated time zone for each phone number starting with +1 (indicating U.S. or Canada).

Step 3: Review and Clean Up Your Data

ChatGPT will provide a list of area codes along with their associated time zones. Review the output to ensure accuracy, and prompt ChatGPT to fill in any missing time zone information. If you prefer, you can further refine the output to match your preferred time zone abbreviations (e.g., PST, MST, CST).

Step 4: Update Your CRM with the Enriched Data

After downloading the enriched CSV file from ChatGPT, return to your CRM and import the updated file. This will integrate the area code and time zone data back into your lead management system.

1. Import the file by clicking on Import Contacts in your CRM.

2. Map the newly added fields (area code and time zone) to custom fields in your CRM to maintain organized and actionable data.

Step 5: Create Custom Fields for Better Tracking

For ongoing efficiency, set up custom fields within your CRM to automatically track time zones and other relevant data. This step ensures that the information remains easily accessible for future calls.

Step 6: Automate Future Data Enrichment

To fully automate this process moving forward, use Go High Level’s automation features:

1. Create an automation workflow triggered when a new contact is added to your CRM.

2. Use ChatGPT within the workflow to identify and update the contact’s area code and time zone in real-time.

3. Add conditional steps to ensure that the automation only runs when the contact has a valid phone number.

Step 7: Strategically Call Leads Based on Time Zones

Once your CRM is updated with the time zone data, you can filter your contacts based on time zones to optimize your calling schedule. For example, if you’re in Pacific Time, avoid calling leads in Eastern Time late in the evening. Instead, focus on the best times when your leads are more likely to answer, such as right after work.

Conclusion

By integrating ChatGPT and Go High Level CRM, you can take a data-driven approach to improve your calling strategy, ensuring you connect with leads when they’re most available. This process not only boosts your call-to-connect rate but also enhances your sales efficiency, allowing you to spend more time on meaningful conversations that drive results.
