About Lori Harris

I've Seen This Problem Before. In Sydney. In Hong Kong. And Right Here.

Most service businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a system problem — and it shows up the same way across industries, markets, and business sizes.

I've worked with businesses in three countries at every stage of growth. The gap is almost always the same: no repeatable way to start the right conversations.

The Steady Customers System™ fixes that. It's a 90-day customer acquisition roadmap that turns scattered activity into predictable, repeatable results.

Background

Global Experience. Local Execution.

Sydney, Hong Kong, and the American South — three markets, one pattern

Sydney & Hong Kong

  • Built marketing systems for businesses navigating competitive, fast-moving markets
  • Learned to diagnose quickly, execute precisely, and cut through noise
  • Developed a pattern-recognition framework that works across industries

The United States

  • Brought global experience home to serve local and regional service businesses

  • Active in civic strategy and local business growth

What This Means for You

The Difference

Why A Local Buzz Exists

Most marketing agencies overcomplicate things. They pitch big retainers, vague strategies, and endless "discovery phases."

I built A Local Buzz to do the opposite.

"This isn't an agency. It's the Steady Customers System™ — built for service business owners who want predictable customer acquisition without the corporate nonsense."

Diagnose quickly
I ask the right questions and identify gaps fast. No 6-week discovery phase. No vague audits.
Deliver clarity
You get a clear, actionable Steady Customers System™ roadmap — not a 40-page deck full of buzzwords and bar charts.
Execute strategically
You choose how involved I am: Foundation, Accelerator, or Executive. The Steady Customers System™ works at every tier.
No fluff
Direct communication. No jargon. No overselling. Just the plan and the path forward.
Built for Discipline and Execution

Marketing Is a Sport. Treat It Like One.

I'm an Ironman competitor. I understand what it takes to commit to a system, execute consistently, and push through when results aren't immediate.

Getting new customers is the same. You don't need motivation — you need a repeatable process and the discipline to follow it. That's exactly what the Steady Customers System™ delivers.
