94. Why a Lower Price Doesn’t Always Mean More Sales - The Psychology of Product Pricing with Andee Hart

Welcome back to How to Grow My Small Business with Lindsay Fletcher where we build profitable businesses with faith, strategy and confidence!
Andee Hart, host of She Sells Differently, joins host Lindsay Fletcher to talk about incorporating faith in business, selling in alignment with her Christian values, managing the resources that God has given us, and viewing earning money as gift from God to serve, help, and provide for the needs of others. Andee also shares about the psychology of product pricing and how a lower price doesn't always mean more sales.   
Andee Hart is an energetic entrepreneur, sales strategist, mentor, and host of the podcast, She Sells Differently. While working as a sales executive for a Fortune 500 company, Andee started a passion project, Hart Design Co., of candle making in her own kitchen. What started out as a side hustle with her candles in a handful of local boutiques quickly blossomed into a wildly successful wholesale business and store-front. Within a year, Andee was able to transition from her corporate career to full-time entrepreneurship due to her tenacity, engaging social media presence, and counter-cultural strategies that enable her businesses to thrive in competitive markets. Andee’s mission is to empower women to overcome sales anxiety and grow their businesses with integrity, grace, and humility.

The Year-End Client Check-In
As the year wraps up, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of holiday sales, promotions, and endless to-do lists. But what if one of the most powerful things you could do for your business in November and December isn’t about selling more—it’s about connecting better?
In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, we’re talking about how to reconnect, nurture, and re-engage with your current and past clients so you can strengthen relationships, open doors for future opportunities, and start 2026 on solid ground.
You’ll learn:
Why client check-ins are one of the most overlooked (and profitable) parts of business growth
How to steward your client relationships the same way you steward your time, talents, and resources
Who to reach out to before the end of the year—and how to do it without feeling “salesy”
What to say (and what not to say) when reconnecting with past clients
How to systemize your follow-up so it becomes a consistent part of your business, not an afterthought
The mindset shift that turns check-ins into natural opportunities for collaboration, referrals, and repeat sales
If you’ve ever wondered how to stay top of mind with your clients without chasing them down or feeling like you’re bugging people, this episode will show you how to do it with authenticity and faith.
Action Step:This week, pull out your client list and highlight 10–15 people you can meaningfully reconnect with before the end of the month. Schedule these out!

91. What to say in follow-ups to boost revenue | Sales for Small Business

If you’ve ever hesitated to follow up with a lead because you didn’t want to sound “pushy,” this episode is for you. Most small business owners lose sales not because they lack leads — but because they stop short of following up.
In this short, power-packed episode, Lindsay Fletcher breaks down:✅ Why so many business owners avoid following up (and how fear of feeling annoying costs you money)✅ Why phrases like “just following up,” “circling back,” and “checking in” instantly shut down conversations✅ What to say instead to sound confident, helpful, and professional✅ Simple follow-up messages that feel natural and build trust✅ A quick challenge to help you turn consistency into cash flow
Whether you’re a Christian entrepreneur, service provider, or small business owner — this episode will help you reframe follow-up as service, not sales pressure.

Episode 87 of How to Grow My Small Business is a special one. Today, I’m sharing 5 powerful prayers for business owners because as Christian entrepreneurs, our faith and our work are deeply connected.
Running a small business can feel overwhelming at times. There are sales goals to hit, relationships to build, strategies to create, and endless tasks pulling at your attention. But as believers, we know that prayer is the foundation of everything we do. When we seek God’s wisdom and align our businesses with His Kingdom purpose, we can move forward with peace, confidence, and clarity.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through five Scripture-inspired prayers you can use daily or in moments when you need direction, encouragement, or fresh vision. These prayers focus on:
Habits and routines that draw us closer to God and closer to success in business.
Multiplication of resources, relationships, and Kingdom impact.
Christ-like relationships with customers, employees, and communities.
Vision and boundaries that allow us to thrive where God has planted us.
Obedience to God’s plan, even when it doesn’t make sense on the surface.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your faith at the center of your business, or you’re craving prayers that go beyond generic blessings and actually speak to the challenges of entrepreneurship, this episode will encourage you and equip you.
 

86. Creating Margin with Delegation & Time Management for Small Business Owners

Are you already feeling the weight of Q4—holidays, kids’ activities, and running your business—all at once? You’re not alone. As small business owners, we’re often told that success only comes from hustling harder, working 24/7, and showing up on every single platform. But here’s the truth: hustle culture is a lie, and it’s costing you your peace, your joy, and sometimes even your profits.
In today’s episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I’m getting real about hustle culture, margin, and why constantly being “busy” isn’t the badge of honor we think it is. Instead of cramming 20 pounds of potatoes in a five-pound sack (yes, I’ve been guilty of that!), I want to show you how to break free from overcommitment, set boundaries, and create space to breathe in both your life and your business.
We’ll talk about:
The symptoms of hustle culture you might be experiencing right now (think exhaustion, snapping at loved ones, or feeling out of control).
The roots of busyness—fear of failure, pride, misplaced identity—and how they might be driving your decisions.
Biblical examples of rest and margin that model how we’re meant to live and lead, not hustle endlessly.
Practical ways to create space in your business, from delegating tasks like bookkeeping or social media to evaluating your calendar and cutting what doesn’t serve you.
How margin can fuel creativity, problem-solving, and long-term growth in your business.
If you’ve ever woken up already overwhelmed, ended your day still exhausted, or felt like you can’t keep up no matter how much you accomplish, this episode will encourage you to step off the hamster wheel and choose a better way.
It’s time to unsubscribe from hustle culture and start running your business with strategy, clarity, and margin. Let’s break up with busy—together.
