Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Collective Academy different than other consulting or training companies?
We believe in empowering owners (and their staff) to make better decisions on strategy, staffing and other investments. We aren't selling you anything. We are educating and guiding.
How much does your mentoring service cost?
We are keeping our offering as simple as possible. The more you use our mentoring service the more you will save. One session is $995 but drops to $895/session with an annual subscription. We accept all major forms of payment.
How do you handle scheduling and logistics for your mentoring sessions?
We use an online scheduling platform that allows clients to book sessions at a time that is convenient for them. Our mentors are flexible and can accommodate clients in different time zones or with busy schedules.
How do you select and vet your mentors?
We carefully vet all mentors in our community to ensure they have extensive experience and a successful track record in various functional areas of business. Our mentors are corporate escapees who have worked for large companies and have over 20 years of experience. They are now focused on helping small businesses grow
How will you measure the success of your mentoring sessions?
We collect feedback from clients after each session to measure the effectiveness of our mentoring sessions. We use this data to continuously improve our services and ensure customer satisfaction.
What resources or tools do you provide to support your mentors?
We provide our mentors with access to a library of resources, tools, and best practices to help them deliver high-quality advice and guidance to our clients
Can I switch mentors if I’m not satisfied with my current mentor or my questions have been answered?
Absolutely! We designed the program to meet you where your needs are. We do prefer to work with one mentor for at least 3 sessions but that is not a requirement
