The the amount of lead is great. ... It's two and a half weeks we're running the campaign, something like that. So like every month we're going to get around like 60 to 100 leads. It's a game changer.

Marianne Hickman
Public Speaking Coach
My business would not exist without the expertise of the Piqued Consulting team. If I didn't have access to the expertise, the CRM, and their marketing skills, I would still be stuck in a very expensive hobby rather than having a revenue generating business.
Ben Terry
Speaker and Coach
You've done what you said you were going to do for me and I want to tell others you can do the same for them.
Dave Reed
CEO, eSpeakers.com
We had a pretty reliable 40% show rate. If a hundred people signed up, we'd see about forty of them in the webinar. Since we switched to HighLevel and used a workflow to remind people, our attendance rate is north of 65%. We gained 25 more people out of every hundred.
J. Alexander
Speaker and Coach
I'm doing paid ads and I'm not happy with it. I don't think I've been coached very well. I've got one ad out there at $50 a day, and after listening to Richard, I should have at least three others out there and I should increase the budget. I have not gotten good advice. I wish I would have gotten here so much sooner.

Gosh, it's beautiful, you guys. This is looking cool. Incredible. This is solid.
Mario Herrera
I want to give a massive shoutout to Richard from Piqued Consulting. After posting on Limitless about needing help to build my website, Richard reached out to me immediately. We connected instantly, driven by a shared mission to make a difference and strive for excellence.
In just one week, Richard had my first site for my Gold Plating business up and running flawlessly. We didn't stop there. We quickly moved on to launch my second page for my fitness apparel business. Now, we're aggressively optimizing our sites with top-notch SEO, strategic email marketing, and stunning imagery.
Richard's expertise, dedication, and passion are unmatched. If you want to take your business to the next level, Richard and Piqued Consulting are the partners you need. Highly recommended!

I'm glad I migrated over. That's for sure.
Professional speakers need a back end that captures and follows up on everything that happens from the stage.
Marianne Hickman
Public Speaking Coach
As a professional speaker and coach, I wouldn't even bother getting on stage if I didn't have this back end support. It tracks all of my giveaways, options, customers, emails, everything. I tell every single business owner I work with and every speaker I train that they need to have this system set up otherwise they don't have a business, they just have an expensive hobby.
Molly Ketcham
I appreciate your experience with other speakers who are in my same shoes.

That would be fabulous because we have talked to a dozen programmers over the years who could not create a program for [the assessment].

Three clients came to Piqued Consulting knowing what they wanted to build in GoHighLevel and unable to get it built. Each describes the same outcome.
Heather Berry
Working with Richard was a total game-changer for our business. Before his help, building the back end inside Go High Level felt overwhelming and unclear. But Richard created a detailed, step-by-step flight plan that brought clarity and direction to the entire process. His report was incredibly thorough—he anticipated our needs, identified gaps we hadn't even considered, and laid everything out in a way that made execution simple. All the guesswork is gone; now it's just about following the plan. Richard's attention to detail and strategic thinking truly set him apart. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to get organized and move forward with confidence.
Tasha Wheelhouse
Richard is massively knowledgeable about the GHL system! After a single consultation where I explained my business goals and objectives, he not only was able to guide me through the relevant tools, but created a flight plan that showed how each tool would interconnect for the customer journey I was looking for.
Gerritt Bake
CEO, American Contractor Network
Technology can be intimidating. Every business owner wants to be more streamlined and efficient, but they get stuck trying to figure out how. That was my case when it came to High Level. I knew what I wanted to do, but I was stuck. Richard helped me create a clear plan based on my individual needs, and spent time explaining how to create it all. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to get the most out of High Level.
Piqued Consulting manages CRM operations for clients who would rather stay in their business than in their software.
Tiffanie Janowitz
CEO, Limitless Society
If it's one thing that you absolutely should not leave in your own hands, it's the management of your CRM. Richard and his team over at Piqued Consulting have been absolutely incredible. They manage our full CRM over here at Limitless Society and many more other sub-accounts that I have with other businesses that I own. I would highly recommend his team. They have a quick turnaround. They've always been very efficient. My profitability has skyrocketed because I'm able to focus and keep my focus where it should be, which is in the business rather than on the operational side that him and his team get a lift.
Some Piqued Consulting relationships run for years and cover multiple connected systems.
John Maley
I have been working with Richard within our Bernedoodle business for the last 3-4 years. He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to bringing multiple systems together to operate flawlessly. Not only does he take the time to help, he provides videos of how he does things, so I can learn along with him. Furthermore, any time I needed help with something, he took the time to review it, help me implement and test it. Richard is truly a great partner and he is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone looking to use Go High level to Level up their business!
Not every review should be a rave. This client describes the real terms of the engagement, including what it requires from the client.

Working with Richard and his team hasn't been a "quick fix" or overnight ROI play—and that's exactly the point.
This is an extension of your team.
It's about building real infrastructure so you can actually scale the way you've always known you should be able to… while freeing yourself from trying to do everything on your own.
The system only works as well as what you bring to the table. Automations make things easier—but this isn't a "set it and forget it" or "done for you" solution.
It's about becoming more effective. More intentional. More scalable.
What I appreciate most about Richard and the GHL ecosystem is that it finally gives you the framework to build what you've always wanted to build—but couldn't quite execute at this level.
You still have to put in the work. You still have to trust the process. And you absolutely have to think long-term.
If you're looking for a shortcut, this isn't it. If you're looking to actually build something sustainable and scalable—this is it.
Piqued Consulting LLC is a registered marketing and CRM systems agency founded by Richard Hickman. It works with clients across professional speaking, construction, fitness apparel, fine art, dog breeding, and event management. Client relationships on this page range from single consulting engagements to ongoing management running more than three years. Piqued Consulting is a partner in the eSpeakers ecosystem.
Piqued Consulting offers four services: Digital Advertising, Web Design, SEO & AEO & GEO, and HighLevel CRM implementation and management. Most engagements combine lead generation with the CRM and automation infrastructure that follows up on those leads.
A Piqued Consulting flight plan is a written build document that maps how a client's GoHighLevel system should be structured before any building starts. It covers pipelines, workflows, automations, and how each piece connects to the customer journey. Three of the testimonials on this page describe the same outcome from receiving one: they already knew what they wanted and could not get it built until the plan existed.
Piqued Consulting does both. Some clients buy a flight plan and build from it themselves. Others hand over full CRM implementation and ongoing management, including multiple sub-accounts.
Not entirely, and Piqued Consulting is direct about that. Automation reduces manual work but does not replace client involvement. As one client puts it on this page, the system only works as well as what the client brings to it. Anyone looking for a solution that runs without their participation is not a good fit.
It depends on scope. One client on this page had a full website built and launched within a week. A complete CRM architecture and migration takes considerably longer. Piqued Consulting gives a timeline before work starts rather than after.
Piqued Consulting works with a wide range of businesses and gets its strongest results with established coaches and consultants selling programs above $5,000, particularly those who have outgrown referrals and need consistent demand. It also serves owners of multiple businesses who need several CRM sub-accounts managed at once.
Piqued Consulting will ask what the business is trying to accomplish, explain what it would do, what that would take, and whether it can help. If another provider would serve the business better, Piqued Consulting says so.
