and public relations, Chantel and Mwale had a dream of creating a business that would provide aspiring authors and those with powerful stories a support sys- tem and a step-by-step process toward sharing their stories — a motto the business has adapted as a rallying cry. Like many business owners, Mwale and Chantel poured them- selves into Legacy Project LLC. Chantel recalls waking up at 3 a.m. just to input sales notes and update tracking software that wasn’t synced, often with the couple’s two babies crawling over her lap.

the nurture and automation tools of Keap to build their business. “I’ve been able to nurture and level that experience during the pandemic,” Mwale told viewers at our annual IKON conference this past year. “I’m scaling business at unbelievable levels. When we think about Keap, it is really that shift of how do you nurture and have that exponential increase in the experience for your client, because you want to keep that Project LLC’s Success — As Created By Chantel and Mwale Henry 1. Process: There wasn’t a streamlined process for Legacy Project LLC when it began six years ago. Previously, they would customize each invoice and wait for payments. Their most ex- pensive product was difficult to obtain, and they relied on paper notes and manual inputs to sort their customer base. Today, the Henry’s use payment automation and have created payment plans to ensure they are getting paid and attracting di- client in your ecosystem.” The 4 P’s of Legacy verse customers. With the use of customer tags, Chantel says they have been able to rake in more profit by targeting hotter leads. As she likes to tell Mwale, “Tags equal money bags!” 2. Partnerships: Prior to Keap, Chantel says Legacy Proj- ect LLC’s strategy was chaos. Mwale was constantly hunting for clients at conferences, but they still weren’t seeing the kinds of customers they wanted. That’s changed. In fact, Legacy Project LLC has partnered with renowned motivational speaker
