Consultants who have had to make it work after the deck
Customer experience consulting has a credibility problem and most of the people on this page know it. What separates the useful ones is that they have run the operation as well as advised on it, so they know which recommendations survive contact with a team that has a queue to answer.
The mentors here consult independently or inside firms. Some will talk to you about your customer experience problem. Others are the right call if the problem is the consulting business itself: pricing, scoping, the first clients, the pipeline, whether to take the retainer.
Bring either one. A proposal you are writing. An engagement that has drifted. A rate you have not raised in three years. A transformation you have been asked to lead with no authority to change anything.
Nobody here is pitching you an engagement on a first call. Mentors CX is a mentoring platform, and the call is 30 free minutes of advice from someone with no stake in your project.
What a Consulting mentor helps with
- Scoping and pricing customer experience work honestly
- Winning the first clients without a brand behind you
- Turning an assessment into changes a team will actually make
- Leading a transformation with influence rather than authority
- Deciding between retainers, projects and interim roles
- Going independent, and what the first year really looks like

From sessions with these mentors
I had the privilege of having a 30-minute mentoring session with Jenny, and I must say, it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment our session began, Jenny's enthusiasm and genuine joy for teaching were palpable. She went above and beyond to share her wisdom and knowledge on the topics I had chosen, offering insights that were not only informative but also inspiring. Her ability to make complex ideas accessible and engaging exceeded my expectations. Jenny is truly the best in what she does! Her passion for helping others grow and succeed shines through in every word. I left the session feeling motivated, empowered, and grateful for her time. i LOVED it~ Highly recommend her as a mentor! Thank you Jenny!!! :)

Questions people ask before booking
Is the first call really free?
Yes. One 30 minute call with any mentor, no card and no trial to cancel. Membership after that is one price for unlimited calls.
Will a mentor try to sell me a consulting engagement?
They should not, and it is against how Mentors CX works. If it happens, say so in the review and we will act on it.
Can I get advice on running my own consultancy?
Yes. Several mentors here run one and will talk about pricing, pipeline and scope as readily as about customer experience.
I am a consultant myself. Is there anything here for me?
The most common booking on this page is one consultant asking another about a live engagement. It is a second opinion from someone with no stake in your client.
