All your questions about mentorship, answered

What can an Intercom mentor offer compared to an Intercom consultant?

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

Intercom 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 Intercom without the steep fees.

Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of Intercom’s features and setup.

Actionable Advice: An Intercom 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 an Intercom mentor do for me?

Most Intercom mentors have used the platform extensively over their careers. Some have been using Intercom since the platform’s inception.

These mentors have the real-world experience you need to optimize your customer communication strategies.

With a mentor’s advice, Intercom’s features will be less daunting. You’ll understand how to enhance customer engagement, improve response times, and effectively use automation features that resonate with your audience.

For more advanced customer support managers, an Intercom mentor can guide you through advanced integration techniques, detailed workflows to streamline support processes, and strategies for handling large customer bases. They can even share examples of successful implementations to accelerate your learning.

So you can achieve greater efficiency with less trial and error, regardless of your experience level.

Cost Comparison: Intercom Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to Intercom consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, depending on their expertise and reputation. Costs can accumulate quickly, especially for startups needing ongoing support.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a more affordable solution. For just $99 per month, you gain unlimited access to dozens of Intercom mentors. This flat monthly fee eliminates concerns about hourly rates or unexpected charges for follow-up consultations.

Intercom Consultants:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $100 to $200 per hour, based on expertise and reputation.
  • Total Cost: Multiple sessions can become costly, especially for startups and small businesses.

GrowthMentor:

  • Monthly Rate: $99 per month for unlimited sessions.
  • Flexibility: GrowthMentor enables you to connect with various mentors, rather than being tied to an exclusive consultant. You benefit from diverse perspectives and insights.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you’ll receive continuous, tailored guidance from experienced Intercom professionals, all without the hefty price tag. This means more resources to invest in enhancing your customer service capabilities.

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.
