An alternative to super expensive fast-moving consumer goods consultants

Typically, fast-moving consumer goods consultants charge a high consulting fee.

But fast-moving consumer goods mentors work with a “done-with-you” approach, empowering you to learn how to navigate the FMCG industry independently, reducing reliance on expensive consultants or agencies. FMCG mentors will focus on:

Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Because mentors are passionate about helping others, they provide you with support and advice for FMCG challenges without the steep fees.

Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will assess your specific situation and provide step-by-step guidance through FMCG strategies and operations.

Actionable Advice: An FMCG mentor won’t just offer theoretical knowledge. Instead, they’ll guide you through practical implementation of their advice.

Most FMCG mentors have extensive experience across various sectors of the industry. Some have been innovating in FMCG since its inception. These mentors offer the real-world experience needed to give your FMCG initiatives a competitive edge.

With a mentor’s guidance, industry complexities become clearer. You’ll learn about market trends, effective branding strategies, and consumer behavior insights.

For more advanced entrepreneurs, a mentor can delve into specialized topics like distribution networks, product positioning, and optimizing supply chain efficiencies. They may even share examples of successful FMCG launches they’ve been part of for deeper learning.

This enables you to achieve better results with reduced trial and error, regardless of your current experience level.

Traditional FMCG consultants often charge $150 to $300 per hour, reflecting their expertise and market demand. For startups managing tight budgets, these costs can quickly escalate, especially with ongoing support needs.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a more accessible solution. For just $99 per month, you gain unlimited access to a diverse pool of FMCG mentors. This flat monthly rate eliminates the stress of hourly billing and additional fees for follow-up consultations.

FMCG Consultants:

• Hourly Rates: Typically range from $150 to $300 per hour, depending on expertise and reputation.

GrowthMentor:

• Monthly Rate: $99 per month for unlimited sessions.
• Flexibility: Allows you to connect with various mentors, offering diverse learning opportunities without committing to a single consultant.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you’ll receive ongoing, personalized guidance from seasoned FMCG industry experts, all without the burden of high consultancy fees. This means you can allocate more resources directly into advancing your FMCG ventures.

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.
