How Paid Pros works
A free Slack group for Utah teams whose ads produce leads that a sales team closes, with meetups in person. Here is what happens after you ask to join, and what you can show up to once you are in.
Joining
From request to your first meetup
- 1
Request to join
A short form: your role, what you run ads for, monthly spend and CRM. About two minutes.
- 2
A person reads it
Every request is reviewed, usually within a week. The group caps around 150 active members, with a waitlist after that.
- 3
Get the Slack invite
Approved members get an email with the invite. Say hello in #welcome-intros: who you are and what you run ads for.

Join the weekly catch-up, come to a monthly meetup at Kiln, and sign up for the workshops that fit what you run.
