You white-label GoHighLevel's all-in-one marketing and CRM software and resell it to local business niches (event rental companies, med spas, gyms, dentists, roofers, and similar), charging a monthly software fee while your own reseller cost stays fixed at $497 a month regardless of how many clients you have.

Koerner reverse-engineers real competitors using GoHighLevel's own public "SaaSpreneur" awards page, which shows which resellers have crossed 100, 500, or 1,000+ paying customers, then walks through a five-tool toolkit: the pricing page, the Wayback Machine, the Meta Ads Library, builtwith.com, and LinkedIn, to estimate a competitor's real revenue, ad spend, and team size. He demonstrates the model live by building a "missed call text back" tool for a roofing business in a few minutes inside GoHighLevel, showing how a small wedge product can turn into a broader retainer relationship.

Someone comfortable with sales and marketing research who's willing to pick one underserved local-business niche and specialize in it, rather than trying to serve every industry at once.

Koerner discloses upfront that he's a GoHighLevel affiliate and earns a commission if viewers sign up through his link, worth keeping in mind given how enthusiastically the software is framed. All of the specific revenue estimates for the example businesses are his own "back of a napkin" math based on public award tiers and pricing pages, not verified financials, a reasonable estimate but not an audited number. The reverse-engineering toolkit itself is genuinely useful and independently verifiable regardless of how accurate any single revenue guess turns out to be.
