Carmen and her business partner, Deirdre Harter, teach their clients “the business of business” through their year-long coaching programs, working to help ambitious women scale their service-based businesses without all the guesswork.

The Encore Empire programs not only focus on optimizing your online presence, sales, marketing, productivity, mindset, and systems, but they do so while teaching clients how to step into the role of CEO. Carmen understands that making sales is just the beginning and that focusing on strategy is the real key to building sustainable profitability.

Carmen generously offered our listeners access to a free marketing methodology workshop, which can be found at EncoreEmpire.com/warrior.
