What can a productized service mentor offer compared to a productized service consultant?

Typically, productized service consultants charge a high consulting fee. But productized service mentors work by the “done-with-you” approach. This will allow you to learn how to manage productized services on your own, eliminating the need for expensive consultants or agencies.

Productized service 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 productized services without the steep fees.
  • Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of managing productized services.
  • Actionable Advice: A productized service 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 a productized service mentor do for me?

Most productized service mentors have managed numerous services over their careers. Some have even been working with productized services since the concept gained popularity.

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

With a mentor’s advice, managing productized services will be less of a mystery. You’ll understand what limits your service’s scalability, what can get your offers rejected or ignored, and what processes tend to resonate better with your target audience.

For more advanced managers, a productized service mentor can walk you through niche strategies, detailed frameworks to test offerings, and how to manage large client portfolios. They can even show you examples of their own services so you can learn from them.

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

Cost Comparison: Productized Service Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to productized service 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 your service, 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 productized service mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and dread charges for followup calls.

Productized Service 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 productized service pros, all without the hefty price tag. Which means you have more in your pocket to invest in your service 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% 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.
