Hey GHL Community,
Are you tired of watching potential customers slip through your fingers because they’re spooked by the Google permission screen? You’re not alone. This issue has been a thorn in the side of GHL users for far too long, and it’s time we tackle it together.
The Problem:
Every time a customer hits the Google permission screen, it’s like slamming into a wall on their journey to becoming a client. The overwhelming list of permissions requested scares them off, causing them to abandon the process entirely. This isn’t just a small hiccup—it’s a direct blow to your sales and revenue. And here’s the kicker: this has been a lingering problem for years. With every new feature GHL adds, the permission requests pile up, increasing technical debt and making the issue even worse. What started as a minor annoyance has snowballed into a revenue-draining roadblock.
Why It Matters:
  • How Long It’s Been a Problem: This isn’t a new issue—it’s been haunting GHL users for years, quietly chipping away at conversions while technical debt grows with each update.
  • Urgency: Every single day this persists, you’re losing money. Potential customers are slipping away, and the longer we delay, the bigger the pile of lost revenue becomes.
  • Importance: Simplifying the permission process isn’t just about removing friction—it’s about building trust with your customers. A smoother, less intimidating experience can turn hesitant prospects into loyal clients.
  • Value: Fixing this doesn’t just help your business; it elevates the entire GHL platform. A user-friendly permission screen can boost GHL’s reputation, attract more users, and strengthen loyalty among current ones.
