What can a PLG mentor offer compared to a PLG consultant?

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

Product-led growth mentors will focus on:

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

 

What can a product led growth mentor do for me?

Most product-led growth mentors have implemented hundreds of strategies over their careers. Some have been working with product-led growth since its early days.

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

With a mentor’s advice, the intricacies of product-led growth will be less daunting. You’ll understand how to optimize user onboarding, drive feature adoption, and improve user retention.

For more advanced growth managers, a product-led growth mentor can walk you through sophisticated techniques like data-driven growth tactics, advanced segmentation, and how to conduct A/B testing. They can even show you examples of their own implementations so you can learn from them.

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

Cost Comparison: PLG Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to product-led growth 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 growth 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 product-led growth mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and dread charges for follow-up calls.

Product-Led Growth 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 product-led growth pros, all without the hefty price tag. This means you have more in your pocket to put towards driving your product’s growth 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.
