The “Wisdom Over Hustle” Template</strong></p><p>This template leans into your audience’s experience and maturity, positioning your offer as the “grown-up” alternative to common industry burnout.</p><p>* <strong>The Hook:</strong> “If I showed you how to [Achieve Specific Result] using the wisdom you already have...”</p><p>* <strong>The Timeframe:</strong> “...in just [Short Timeframe] of focused work...”</p><p>* <strong>The Benefit:</strong> “...so you can double your impact while reclaiming your weekends for [Family/Hobby]...”</p><p>* <strong>The “Without”:</strong> “...WITHOUT having to learn the latest TikTok dance or ‘hustle’ 14 hours a day...”</p><p>* <strong>The Closer:</strong> “...would you be interested in the details?”</p><p><strong>2. The “Legacy Builder” Template</strong></p><p>Designed for those looking to ensure their business thrives without being tied to a desk.</p><p>* <strong>The Hook:</strong> “If I offered to help you install a [System Name] over the next [Number] days...”</p><p>* <strong>The Timeframe:</strong> “...that runs your lead generation on autopilot...”</p><p>* <strong>The Benefit:</strong> “...ensuring your business becomes a true asset that serves people for years to come...”</p><p>* <strong>The “Without”:</strong> “...WITHOUT you needing to be the ‘tech genius’ or the only person holding it all together...”</p><p>* <strong>The Closer:</strong> “...would you want to see the blueprint?”</p><p><strong>3. The “Anti-Guru” Refresh</strong></p><p>A direct and refreshing approach for entrepreneurs who are tired of high-pressure sales tactics.</p><p>* <strong>The Hook:</strong> “If I spent [Number] hours with you to map out a [Specific Goal] strategy...”</p><p>* <strong>The Timeframe:</strong> “...that you can start seeing results from in the next [Number] weeks...”</p><p>* <strong>The Benefit:</strong> “...that feels completely aligned with your values and integrity...”</p><p>* <strong>The “Without”:</strong> “...WITHOUT using any ‘ninja’ closing scripts or high-pressure psychological tricks...”</p><p>* <strong>The Closer:</strong> “...would you take me up on that?”</p><p><strong>4. The “Second Act” Template</strong></p><p>Perfect for coaches helping people transition into a new venture or level up their current one after age 50.</p><p>* <strong>The Hook:</strong> “If I helped you package your 20+ years of experience into a [High-Ticket Offer]...”</p><p>* <strong>The Timeframe:</strong> “...by this time next month...”</p><p>* <strong>The Benefit:</strong> “...that positions you as the undisputed authority in your niche...”</p><p>* <strong>The “Without”:</strong> “...WITHOUT you having to start from scratch or build a complicated 10-step funnel...”</p><p>* <strong>The Closer:</strong> “...would you be open to a quick chat about it?”</p><p><strong>5. The “Invitation to Tea” (Low Pressure) Template</strong></p><p>A softer, conversational approach that works well for building community and leads for your training.</p><p>* <strong>The Hook:</strong> “I’m looking for [Number] coaches who want to [Achieve Specific Milestone]...”</p><p>* <strong>The Timeframe:</strong> “...over the next [Number] days of working together...”</p><p>* <strong>The Benefit:</strong> “...so you can finally stop worrying about where your next client is coming from...”</p><p>* <strong>The “Without”:</strong> “...WITHOUT the stress of ‘launching’ or burning through an expensive ad budget...”</p><p><strong>The Closer:</strong> “...would you like to join me for a virtual ‘coffee’ to see if it’s a fit?”</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Encore Society at <a href="https://www.encoresociety.club/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.encoresociety.club/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://www.encoresociety.club/p/from-tears-to-an-80-closing-rate</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:193002758</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Chianese]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2026 20:35:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/193002758/5f79c6cc76ed25c8f1021deb89f57232.mp3" length="14692248" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jim Chianese</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>918</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/6527886/post/193002758/2e7be51c07bd0edab03263887362dcdb.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your Offer Template and Day 1 of...]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Did a little intro, and discussed the current popular “Offer Template” that people are told to use.</p><p>It’s a great start, but it doesn’t teach you how to communicate your offer in a way you can build on.</p><p>Had some fun with a few mishaps and being new to the format…as you will notice, I don’t stress too much about mistakes, I quickly admit them, but I’m taking the coaching very seriously.</p><p>See you tomorrow for part 2, where we discuss how to communicate your offer and close sales without asking for them.</p><p>Blessings,</p><p>Jim</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Encore Society at <a href="https://www.encoresociety.club/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.encoresociety.club/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://www.encoresociety.club/p/live-with-jim-chianese</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:192888927</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Chianese]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 20:19:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/192888927/f0035b3dd808476b130cebb3be05cce4.mp3" length="13226047" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jim Chianese</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>827</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/6527886/post/192888927/2e7be51c07bd0edab03263887362dcdb.jpg"/></item><item><title><![CDATA["Intro to The Intro?" with Jim Chianese]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>The short Post I wrote and referenced in the live is <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/coachingjumpstart/p/10-years-and-not-much-has-changed?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&#38;utm_medium=web">here.</a></p><p>Thanks to VIP Member Janna for commenting on that video and reminding me.</p><p>I’ve really got to start getting serious about YouTube, too.</p><p>Lots of Live Coaching here & on my<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheEncoreSociety"> YouTube channel </a>coming very, very soon.</p><p>Blessings, </p><p>Jim</p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to The Encore Society at <a href="https://www.encoresociety.club/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.encoresociety.club/subscribe</a>]]></description><link>https://www.encoresociety.club/p/intro-to-the-intro-with-jim-chianese</link><guid isPermaLink="false">substack:post:192329261</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Chianese]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:36:16 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/192329261/3d214f21b883e3508fb85ed09cb39748.mp3" length="4717234" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jim Chianese</itunes:author><itunes:explicit>No</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>295</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://substackcdn.com/feed/podcast/6527886/post/192329261/2e7be51c07bd0edab03263887362dcdb.jpg"/></item></channel></rss>
