An alternative to super expensive business intelligence consultants

Typically, business intelligence consultants charge a high consulting fee. But business intelligence mentors work by the “done-with-you” approach, allowing you to learn how to leverage BI tools on your own, eliminating the need for expensive consultants or agencies.

Business intelligence 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 business intelligence without the steep fees.
• Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of BI tools and strategies.
• Actionable Advice: A business intelligence mentor won’t leave you with a bunch of nonactionable theory. Instead, they’ll walk you through exactly how to start implementing their advice.

Most business intelligence mentors have managed numerous projects over their careers. Some have even been in the BI field since the discipline got its start.

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

With a mentor’s advice, BI tools will be less of a black box. You’ll understand what limits your data insights, what can get your reports flagged, and what metrics and visuals tend to resonate better with stakeholders.

For more advanced BI users, a mentor can walk you through niche data modeling techniques, detailed frameworks to test hypotheses and data visualizations, and how to manage large datasets. They can even show you examples of their own projects so you can learn from them.

So you can achieve even greater data insights with less time, testing, and money, regardless of your experience level.

When it comes to business intelligence consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and reputation. And when you’re already investing in BI tools, 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 business intelligence mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and dread charges for followup calls.

Business Intelligence Consultants:

• Hourly Rates: Typically range from $100 to $200 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 business intelligence pros, all without the hefty price tag. Which means you have more in your pocket to put towards improving your BI strategy instead.

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.
