agency workflow as VA team

ClickUp, Slack, and GHL: Our Agency Workflow Revealed

September 20, 20252 min read

TL;DR: The secret to a smooth VA–client relationship isn’t just talent—it’s systems. At BizEx, we run on ClickUp, Slack, and GoHighLevel (GHL) to keep every project moving, every task tracked, and every client in the loop. Here’s a look behind the curtain.

The Power of Great Systems

Most entrepreneurs think scaling comes down to hiring the right people. That’s only half true.

The real magic happens when you combine skilled people with strong systems. Without the right tools, even the best VA team struggles. With them, you get projects running like clockwork, fewer bottlenecks, and results delivered consistently.

At BizEx, our backbone is a workflow that blends ClickUp, Slack, and GHL—three tools that give clients peace of mind and teams clarity.

Our Daily Workflow Tools

Here’s how we run client projects end-to-end:

  • ClickUp: Our project management hub. Every task, deadline, and deliverable lives here.

  • Slack: Our communication channel for quick updates and daily check-ins.

  • GoHighLevel (GHL): Our marketing and automation engine—handling funnels, email sequences, and client pipelines.

Together, these tools give us a complete system: strategy, execution, and communication all aligned.


Client Onboarding and Task Management

When a client signs on, here’s what happens behind the scenes:

  1. Onboarding Form → ClickUp Setup

    • We gather details on goals, priorities, and tools.

    • Tasks and workflows are created inside ClickUp.

  2. Slack Channel Launch

    • A dedicated Slack channel is created for direct client updates.

    • Quick wins are shared daily, so you always know what’s happening.

  3. GHL Integration

    • We map out campaigns, funnels, and automations.

    • Clients see their backend finally running smoothly—without lifting a finger.

👉 The result? You’re not wondering “what’s happening with my VA team?”—you see progress daily.

How We Keep Communication Seamless

The #1 reason VA setups fail is poor communication. That’s why we structure it differently:

  • Slack for speed: Quick updates, approvals, and questions get answered fast.

  • ClickUp for clarity: Bigger projects stay documented, so nothing slips.

  • Weekly updates: Clients get a simple breakdown of what’s done, what’s in progress, and what’s next.

This way, you’re not micromanaging—you’re always informed without the overwhelm.

Tips for Clients Setting Up Their Own Systems

Even if you’re not ready for a full VA team yet, here are a few best practices you can implement right now:

  • Use one project hub (like ClickUp or Asana) instead of scattered to-do lists.

  • Create dedicated channels for projects or departments in Slack (avoid “one giant thread” syndrome).

  • Automate repetitive marketing tasks in GHL to save hours each week.

  • Document processes early—even if they’re messy—so they can be handed off later.

These steps will save you time now and make scaling smoother when you’re ready for more support.

Conclusion

Behind every thriving BizEx client is a system that keeps things moving. With ClickUp, Slack, and GHL running in sync, you don’t just get a VA—you get a structured, reliable workflow that makes growth feel simple.
