What can a B2B sales mentor offer compared to a B2B sales consultant?

Typically, B2B sales consultants charge a high consulting fee. But B2B sales mentors work by the “done-with-you” approach. This allows you to learn the ropes of B2B sales on your own, eliminating the need for expensive consultants or agencies.

B2B sales mentors will focus on:

  • Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Because mentors are passionate about helping others, they’ll provide you with support and advice for B2B sales without the steep fees.
  • Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of B2B sales strategies.
  • Actionable Advice: A B2B sales mentor won’t leave you with a bunch of nonactionable theory. Instead, they’ll walk you through exactly how to start implementing their advice.

What can a B2B sales mentor do for me?

Most B2B sales mentors have closed countless deals over their careers. Some have even been in the field since the early days of modern sales techniques.

These mentors have the real-world experience you need to give your sales efforts an edge.

With a mentor’s advice, B2B sales will be less of a mystery. You’ll understand what makes a successful sales pitch, how to handle objections, and what prospecting methods work best.

For more advanced practitioners, a B2B sales mentor can walk you through complex negotiation tactics, detailed frameworks to assess lead quality, and how to manage large-scale sales campaigns. They can even show you examples of their own successful sales strategies so you can learn from them.

So you can close more deals with less time, effort, and money, regardless of your experience level.

Cost Comparison: B2B Sales Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to B2B sales consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $150 to $300 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and reputation. And when you’re already investing in other aspects of your business, the costs can add up fast, especially for startups who need ongoing support.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a much more affordable and flexible solution. For just $99 per month, you get unlimited access to dozens of B2B sales mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and unexpected charges for follow-up calls.

B2B Sales Consultants:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $150 to $300 per hour, depending on expertise and reputation.
  • Total Cost: For multiple sessions, costs can quickly add up, making it expensive for startups and small businesses.

GrowthMentor:

  • Monthly Rate: $99 per month for unlimited sessions.

GrowthMentor also allows you to connect with different mentors, rather than locking you into an exclusive contract with a consultant. You can chat with a variety of experts and learn from their perspectives.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you’ll get continuous, tailored guidance from experienced B2B sales pros, all without the hefty price tag. Which means you have more in your pocket to put towards other business initiatives instead.

Why should I trust GrowthMentor’s mentors?

Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.

But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.

The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.

On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?

The short answer: Because they want to help people.

The long answer is because…

  • They enjoy sharing their knowledge
  • They learn from their mentees
  • They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
  • They want to pay it forward

But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.
