All your questions about mentorship, answered

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

Typically, direct sales consultants charge a high consulting fee. But direct sales mentors work by the “done-with-you” approach. This allows you to learn how to start your direct sales without expensive consultants or agencies.

Direct 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 direct sales without the steep fees.
  • Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step guidance for your direct sales efforts.
  • Actionable Advice: A direct sales mentor won’t leave you with theoretical ideas. Instead, they’ll walk you through exactly how to start implementing their advice.

What can a direct sales mentor do for me?

Most direct sales mentors have extensive experience in the field. Some have been involved in direct sales since the industry’s inception.

These mentors possess the practical knowledge needed to give your sales strategies a competitive edge.

With a mentor’s guidance, you’ll gain insights into what boosts your sales visibility, what might hinder your efforts, and how to craft messages that resonate with your audience.

For more seasoned sales professionals, a mentor can share advanced techniques for targeted sales approaches, effective frameworks for testing strategies, and methods for managing substantial sales budgets. They can even provide case studies for learning purposes.

This ensures you achieve better returns on your sales efforts, regardless of your level of experience.

Cost Comparison: Direct Sales Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

In direct sales consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, based on their expertise and reputation. These costs can escalate quickly, especially for startups needing ongoing support alongside their sales efforts.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a more affordable and flexible solution. For just $99 per month, you gain unlimited access to numerous direct sales mentors. This flat monthly rate eliminates concerns about hourly fees and additional charges for follow-up consultations.

Direct Sales Consultants:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $100 to $200 per hour, depending on expertise.
  • Total Cost: Multiple sessions can become expensive, particularly for startups.

GrowthMentor:

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

GrowthMentor also allows you to engage with multiple mentors, rather than committing to a single consultant. You benefit from diverse perspectives and insights.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you receive ongoing, personalized guidance from seasoned direct sales professionals, all without the hefty price tag. This means more funds available for your sales initiatives.

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.
