Make it Matter

 

The Lead Magnet Workshop for Purpose-Driven Business Owners

July 28, 29 & 30, 2026 | Three 2-Hour Sessions | $500

Every great client relationship starts with a moment of connection. A spark of curiosity. And, a feeling of “this person gets me.”

For many of us, that moment begins with a story—a message shared in a way that feels relatable, generous, and grounded in purpose.

But too often, there is a disconnect between your heartfelt message and your lead magnet. Most lead magnets feel like empty transactions and “just another freebie.” 

This is not how you want to start a new relationship with a prospective client.

Your work deserves a more meaningful entry point.

It’s time your marketing felt as powerful as your mission.

Our 3-day Make it Matter Workshop is an invitation to do it differently.

We are gathering to help you create a lead magnet that reflects the heart of your mission and helps the right people recognize themselves in your work.

Over the course of three 2-hour sessions, Amy and Shannon will guide you through a step-by-step process to create a lead magnet that feels aligned and strategic. (Take a look at what I consider a high-converting Lead Magnet.)

Plus…you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the deeper system we use inside our JoyFueled™ Business Growth Program that  helps purpose-driven business owners like you turn your lead magnet “yeses” into lasting connections, community, and clients.

When your marketing starts with intention, everything else becomes easier.

As A Successful Business Owner, You Know That Your Lead Magnet Is More Than a Freebie

It’s the first step in building real trust—and it’s one of the most important parts of an email marketing system that actually converts.

The right lead magnet does more than grow your list. It helps the right people say yes to your energy, your values, and the unique transformation you offer.

It creates a natural bridge between their curiosity, the solution to their problems, and your paid work.

If you’ve struggled to turn subscribers into clients, the issue isn’t your offer—it’s that your lead magnet isn’t doing its job.

“I was inspired by Shannon’s statement in a one-hour training where she said that our mailing list is our most important asset. So true! I decided at that moment to take back my list, transition out of having a team member communicate to my list and to do it myself. Shannon is a true pleasure to work with: Clear, insightful thinking, a strategic approach, and tactical suggestions. Nothing pie in the sky, nothing that reeks of formulaic nonsense. Since working with Shannon I’ve seen a significant uptick in practitioners joining my program, I’ve seen more people signing up for my courses, and I’m interacting in powerful ways with my list. It’s lovely!” ~Jill Leigh, Energy Healing Institute

“Working with Shannon is always a full-on experience of being seen, heard, and taken care of, and all of it with clarity. My business partner and I wanted to create a new Quiz but were nervous about the work it would take. We both had been burned by previous quiz creation experiences that then grossly underperformed. 

With Shannon’s guidance, we knocked out our Video Personality™ Quiz in under two hours. ALL of it! The personalities, the traits, the questions, the descriptions. That quiz, to this day, 2 years later, still outperforms every other lead magnet we have ever created. 

Everytime I partner with Shannon, she fully integrates any new marketing collateral into our entire ecosystem of offerings and the process has always been fun and easy. It’s AMAZING when it all comes together!”

This workshop is for you if you’re ready to design a lead magnet that connects AND converts. 

This workshop is for you if you’ve grown your business based on referrals and forming deep connections with your network, and now you want to gain visibility and grow your client base outside of your existing network. 

Whether you’re creating your first lead magnet or reimagining one that needs to perform better, you’ll walk away with a lead magnet you’re proud to share—something that makes your work accessible, aligned, and irresistible to the right people.

By the end of our time together you will: 

  • Identify the client who’s most ready to work with you now—and map out their journey
  • Choose a lead magnet topic that speaks directly to their needs and desires
  • Select a format that fits your strengths (PDF, video, audio, etc.)
  • Outline the full content of your lead magnet, including:
    • Title & subtitle (or core promise)
    • A warm, mission-driven welcome letter
    • The main value-based content
    • Optional testimonials or proof points
    • A clear call to action
    • Your bio, credentials, and next step guidance

After this workshop, you’ll have a relevant, relationship-building lead magnet designed to attract and convert your perfect-fit clients—the ones who are ready for the transformation you offer.
