Become the Fully Booked Local Go-To In Your City
The Localpreneur Academy helps service-based local business owners build a repeatable local marketing system so the right people in your city can find you, trust you, choose you and book you.
You don't need random marketing tips. You need to know exactly how to stand out locally, reach people in your city, grow a local audience, create content that builds demand, and sell clearly.
That’s what we build inside.
JOIN THE LOCALPRENEUR ACADEMY
You’re in the right place if you’re tired of wondering where your next local client is coming from.
The Localpreneur Academy is for you if…
You’re good at what you do, but not enough local people know you exist yet.
You’re posting, emailing, networking or trying to “get out there,” but it still feels random.
You’re getting some clients, but it’s inconsistent and you can’t always tell what created them.
You know your business could be fully booked, but you don’t have a clear local marketing plan to follow.
You want people in your city to see you as the obvious choice instead of comparing you to everyone else who does something similar.
You don’t need another folder of generic marketing tips.
You need a process, feedback, coaching and a clear path to becoming the local go-to.
What you can expect:
When you join The Localpreneur Academy, here's what starts to happen:
Clarity Instead of Confusion
No more second-guessing what to post or how to get noticed. You’ll have a clear, step-by-step Local Marketing Plan that shows you exactly how to show up every single day.
Confidence Instead of Doubt
You’ll finally feel confident talking about your services without overthinking every word, and you’ll start showing up consistently as the go-to in your city.
Clients Instead of Crickets
With your new systems in place, you’ll stop wondering where the next client is coming from and start filling your calendar with people who are excited to work with you.

Your 5-Step Path To Fully Booked:
Whether you want your first local client or you're ready to get fully booked, these 5 simple steps are everything you need:
Step 1: Stand Out Locally
This is where your community starts to see you as the top choice. In this step, you’ll clarify your niche, position your offers and market the unique gap only you fill in your city. You’ll also step into the identity of being the local go-to now... showing up with the confidence and authority that makes people pay attention. You’ll know exactly how to become the person everyone thinks of first when they need your service.
Step 2: Reach More People In Your City
Getting fully booked is about consistently reaching the right local people. This step gives you a clear, repeatable Local Marketing Plan™ — both online and offline — so you’re always in front of your ideal clients. From social media and email marketing to networking, collaborations, local events, Google My Business and even simple local ads, you’ll discover exactly how to meet more people in your community and stay highly visible day after day.
Step 3: Grow Your Local Following
Having a strong local audience means you never have to wonder where your next client is coming from. In this step, you’ll stop wasting time chasing random followers and start attracting real people in your city who are ready to book.
You’ll follow a simple, proven system to consistently grow by 100+ local followers every month — without spending hours on social media or feeling like you have to create content every single day.
Step 4: Create "Local Go-To" Content
If you’ve ever felt like you’re posting just to post — hopping on trends, sharing random tips or writing captions that just get ignored — this is where we make your content actually work for you. You’ll learn my simple system for creating content that builds demand with the people in your city.
I’ll show you how to use the Local Go-To Content Pillars so you always know what to post, and the 90-Day Repurposing System so you can stop reinventing the wheel every month. Instead of guessing, you’ll have a repeatable process for turning your ideas into Reels, captions, Stories and emails that speak directly to your local client and position you as the obvious choice.
Finally start creating content that gets your people reaching out and saying, “I’m ready to book now.”
Step 5: Sell Confidently
If selling feels awkward right now — like you’re either being too pushy or annoying — this will change that. You’ll learn how to sell in your content so people start reaching out to you on their own and how to handle the conversations that come after.
We’ll cover what to post that makes your audience want to book, the words to use when people ask about your services and how to follow up without feeling salesy. You’ll also learn exactly how to respond to the “I need to think about it” moments.
You’ll have a simple, repeatable way to attract clients through your marketing and confidently turn inquiries into paying clients without second-guessing yourself.
Bridget booked her first clients on social media
"Having a new business, the anxiety of "how does this work now" was my primary focus. I dove right in and April and May were my most successful months yet -- and 90% of my clients were new and found me on social media. I believe in Leslie!"
– Bridget Joubert | Interior Lighting Designer
Dana has a 6-month waitlist
"Before joining, I was struggling to figure it all out. Everything felt overwhelming. I was getting business but it was inconsistent and my schedule was all over the place. Leslie's way of teaching has shifted how I handle all my social media. I feel much more focused as I create content. Leslie makes it easy to break things down so it's easy, repeatable, time-saving and creates consistency."
– Dana Manning | Furniture Restyler
Erica booked 560 appointments in one year
"If you're serious about growing your business and you need help with anything — sales, marketing, it's all there. You just get the fool-proof way. Just invest in yourself and do it. It's the greatest investment I've made. There's just so much you get in this program."
– Erica Huckaby | Clay Impressions
Tyler is fully booked 3 weeks out
"I've gotten more value in the last 6 months than I have in any other marketing or sales training or hiring people. The Localpreneur Academy has made such a huge difference in my business and my confidence. You can't really put a value. How much would you pay to have confidence in your business? Knowing what I know now, I would absolutely go back and do it again."
– Tyler Blankenship | Home Technology Contractor
And it works...
HEY THERE 👋
I'm Leslie!
I’ve been exactly where you are. When I first started my local business in 2010, I felt like I was doing everything to get people's attention — posting on social media, networking, trying to stand out — but nothing was really working. I didn’t know how to consistently reach the right people in my city and get them to care about what I was doing. I was exhausted from spinning my wheels and trying everything.
Over the years, I slowly figured it out and other business owners started asking for my help. How was I growing my following? How was I selling out events? How was I getting people so excited about what I was doing locally?
I built a clear, repeatable system that took me from totally unknown to being seen as the go-to person in my city (with the "Best Of" awards and client waitlists to prove it). And now, through The Localpreneur Academy®, I’ve taught that same system to hundreds of business owners across industries — helping them grow their local following, create content that builds demand, and confidently sell out their services. If you’re tired of guessing, hoping, and trying to do it all alone, I’d love to be your coach and show you the exact steps to finally get fully booked.
Maddie left her full-time job & hit 5-figure months
"Get in the room. If you want success and a game plan for how to run your business, you need mentorship, support and coaching. Leslie is great on multiple fronts as a coach because she helps people with the beliefs and thought work, but also the actual practical action steps. And a lot of programs out there, you only get coaching for the time of the live program, but this is on-going support."

I want you to get fully booked even faster, so here are a few bonuses included free with your enrollment.
Email Made Easy: Your Local List-Building Blueprint

I’ll walk you step by step through setting up your email system, designing your first emails and building your subscriber list with local people who actually want to hear from you. Inside this bonus, you’ll find tutorials that take the tech stress away, strategies to grow your local list, and plug-and-play guidance for sending regular emails, including your first welcome sequence—so you can connect with your community and turn subscribers into clients.
Sell Out Your Local Events
In this bonus training, you'll learn the 5 most common mistakes stopping local business owners from selling out their events. Plus, get my 3-step process to help you plan, promote and sell out out your events on repeat - whether you host classes, trainings, workshops, pop-ups, parties, open houses -- or anything of the sort! Host free events? Great! Let's get more people showing up!
Local-fy Your Website: Optimize Your Site for Local Clients
Most local business websites make it hard for clients to say yes. In this bonus, I’ll show you how to local-fy your site so it gets found in search engines and makes booking with you simple. We’ll strip away the clutter and focus on the essentials—your home page, about page, contact page, and services page—using my Client Path of Least Resistance. You’ll also learn how to write a high-converting sales page for your services (yes, most business owners aren’t writing nearly enough or hitting on the right things!). By the end, your website will be clear, client-friendly, and position you as that local go-to.
Collaborations + The Local Partnership Protocol
One of the fastest ways to grow your local visibility is by partnering with other businesses in your community. In this bonus, I’ll show you exactly how to find the right partners, what to say when you reach out and how to create win-win collaborations that get you in front of new local audiences. You’ll implement the 5-step Local Partnership Protocol to build relationships fast, land more collaborations and turn your network into a steady stream of referrals and clients.
Brittany built a 6-figure personal training and nutrition business after closing her gym during Covid
"It's 1000% worth it just to have access. I'm a lurker in the group, but I'm always reading things and you can get wisdom from anything you're telling other people. I watch the recorded calls, and it's nice when I do make the calls to say, ‘Leslie, this is what's happening, these are my mindset blocks — how do I get past this?’"
– Brittany Powell | Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach

Brooke built a $100K+ flower farm with sold out workshops & waitlists
"Everything you need in marketing is in The Localpreneur Academy, but in a better way because it's about your local community. And you have it for lifetime, so as your business evolves, you can keep coming back and getting what you need."
– Brooke Palmer | Flower Farmer
How many clients would it take to make this investment back?
The Localpreneur Academy is a $2,000 lifetime membership.
The question isn't, “Should I invest 2K?”
The better question is:
How quickly could these local marketing and selling skills pay me back?
If your average client or order is $200, that’s 10 clients or orders.
If your average client is $500, that’s 4 clients.
And once you build these skills, you don’t just use them once.
This is the skillset that helps your business make money for years.
