Why FunnelTechie

Most consultants touch the surface. We go all the way down the stack.

Deliverability coaches tweak subject lines. Tech VAs follow tutorials. Matt Ratliff spent two decades building and operating enterprise-grade email infrastructure — Exim, Postfix, Sendmail, Exchange, Cisco — before GHL even existed.

That depth changes everything. When your emails are blocked, your automations are firing wrong, or your entire pipeline is leaking leads, you don’t need another checklist. You need someone who can see the whole system and fix what’s actually broken.

  • Email Deliverability — DNS, authentication, IP reputation, inbox placement at the protocol level
  • GHL Automation Architecture — Workflows built to scale without breaking at volume
  • Backend Systems — Webhooks, middleware, API integrations, and custom routing logic
  • Infrastructure Audits — Full-stack review of what’s blocking your revenue
  • Ongoing Monitoring — Proactive reputation management so problems don’t compound
The Problem

Email Deliverability Is Broken for Most Senders

You built the funnel. You wrote the copy. But your emails never reach the inbox — regardless of which platform you use.

Emails Going to Spam

Your campaigns, automations, and transactional emails are landing in junk folders across Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo. Leads never see your messages and revenue disappears.

Sending Platform Flagged

Your domain or IP is blacklisted on Mailgun, SendGrid, or another provider. Reputation is tanking and you have no idea how to recover it without starting over.

Open Rates Tanking

You used to get 40%+ open rates. Now you are lucky to hit 15%. Your deliverability infrastructure is silently failing and costing you money every single day.

Matt Ratliff

GHL Infrastructure Specialist · Email Deliverability Expert · Network Engineer

Most deliverability consultants learned email from a blog post. Matt built enterprise mail servers from the ground up — Exim, Postfix, Sendmail, Exchange — for companies running millions of sends before HighLevel existed.

That background is why FunnelTechie isn’t just another email deliverability service. 20+ years of network engineering means Matt sees the entire stack — DNS, routing, authentication, automation logic, webhook architecture — and knows exactly where the revenue is leaking and why.

Since 2019, Matt has worked exclusively in the GHL ecosystem, building the infrastructure, tools, and systems that high-volume senders rely on to protect their reputation and scale their results. His methods and tools work across any platform and any industry.
