  • 294: From Scattered to Streamlined: The Power of Focused Offers
    Aug 5 2025

    If your offers feel a little all over the place - and your sales feel the same - you’re not alone. In this episode of The Encore Entrepreneur, we’re talking about why too many offers often lead to confusion, not conversion. You’ll learn why simplifying what you sell isn’t limiting - it’s liberating. We also talk about how a clear, focused offer creates more confidence in your marketing, more ease in your sales conversations, and a better experience for your clients.

    You’ll also hear a powerful story about an energy worker who resisted choosing a niche or packaging her work… until she realized that focus didn’t box her in - it set her free. If you’ve been juggling too many services or struggling to explain what you really do, this episode will help you shift from scattered to streamlined - and make space for more aligned clients and income.

    Jul 29 2025

    If your discovery calls feel more like free coaching than client conversions, this episode will shift everything. We’re diving into the real reason your calls might be draining your energy and your sales - and what to do instead.

    In this episode, Lori walks you through how to choose the right type of discovery call based on how someone found you, and why not every call should look the same. You'll learn how to avoid giving away too much, how to lead with confidence (without pressure), and how to qualify leads using her signature GUIDE Framework - so you can stop guessing and start enrolling more right-fit clients.

    You’ll also discover:

    • The difference between warm and cold leads - and how your approach should shift

    • When (and how much) coaching to give on a discovery call

    • Why some people leave the call grateful - but never buy

    • The three qualities every ideal GEM client has (Ready, Willing, and Able)

    • How to turn a leaky discovery process into a confident client-converting one

  • 292: You Don’t Need More Clients - You Need the Right Ones
    Jul 22 2025

    If your marketing feels like it’s falling flat - or you’re attracting clients who aren’t quite the right fit - you might not need more leads. You might need more alignment.

    In this episode of The Encore Entrepreneur, Lori shares the truth about ideal clients - and why defining your GEM client (Gravitational Pull, Emotionally aligned, Mirror moment) can radically shift how you show up, what you say, and who says “yes” to working with you.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why we resist getting clear on our ideal client — and how that’s holding you back

    • The GEM framework that helps you attract clients who feel like “OMG, this is for me!”

    • The second filter every business owner needs: Ready, Willing, and Able

    • What happens when your message goes from vague to vibrantly specific

    • A simple 10-minute action to help you start speaking directly to the people who need you most

    If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I could help anyone… so why is no one biting?” - this episode is your turning point.

  • 291: The Real Value of What You Do: Pricing for Transformation, Not Time
    Jul 15 2025

    You didn’t start your business to undercharge and feel undervalued. But too many entrepreneurs price their services based on time, tasks, or what feels “reasonable,” especially when the work comes naturally. In this episode of The Encore Entrepreneur, we’re breaking down how that mindset limits your business growth and why it’s time to price based on the value and transformation you deliver.

    We’ll explore how to reframe your pricing so it reflects your expertise, the outcomes you create, and the bigger impact you want to make. When you charge in alignment with the results you provide, not only do you build a more profitable business, but you also create more space to give back, support causes you care about, and serve your clients at a higher level. This isn’t just about making money. It’s about building a business that fuels your purpose.
