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

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

Optimizely mentors will focus on:

  • Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Mentors are passionate about helping others and provide support and advice for Optimizely without steep fees.
  • Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of Optimizely’s features and capabilities.
  • Actionable Advice: An Optimizely mentor won’t leave you with nonactionable theory. Instead, they’ll guide you through implementing their advice.

What can an Optimizely mentor do for me?

Most Optimizely mentors have managed hundreds of experiments over their careers. Some have been working with Optimizely since its early days.

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

With a mentor’s advice, Optimizely’s features will be less daunting. You’ll understand how to design effective experiments, interpret data, and optimize your website for better user experiences.

For more advanced users, an Optimizely mentor can walk you through sophisticated techniques like multivariate testing, advanced segmentation, and how to integrate Optimizely with other tools. They can even show you examples of their own implementations so you can learn from them.

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

Cost Comparison: Optimizely Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to Optimizely consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and reputation. And when you’re already paying for analytics 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 Optimizely mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and dread charges for follow-up calls.

Optimizely 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 Optimizely pros, all without the hefty price tag. This means you have more in your pocket to put towards enhancing your optimization efforts 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% make 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.
