The Trusted Advisor Board

The Trusted Advisor Board is a novel consulting service offered exclusively by The Marketing Sage Consultancy. I invited experienced senior leaders I have worked with throughout my career to join me. All meet the definition of being a sage: someone wise through their experiences and someone you can unconditionally trust.

Running a business is lonely for the founder. I know. I have been there and struggled.

Privately held, small to mid-sized businesses face unique challenges, often navigating uncharted territory with limited resources. Being the boss can be isolating, amplifying the need for a Trusted Advisor Board.

The solitude of decision-making can be overwhelming, and having a seasoned sounding board offers invaluable insights. Senior advisors bring diverse perspectives, drawing on their wealth of experience to guide strategic decisions, mitigate risks, and capitalize on opportunities. They provide crucial emotional support, fostering resilience in the face of challenges.

Imagine having 2 to 4 senior, seasoned executives who can become your trusted advisors at a reasonable cost.

A small board of trusted advisors can become a cornerstone for success, offering a collaborative and informed approach that transcends the inherent solitude of entrepreneurship. We are here to support your vision.

If you are struggling with achieving the growth and success you want, you may need The Trusted Advisor Board.

You hand-select an advisory board with the skills and experiences that can best help you achieve your goals.

Meet twice per month for an hour.

Depending on the number of advisors chosen, you get an advisor board with 80 -160 years of experience.

 The Trusted Advisor Board is designed for privately owned, small to mid-sized companies.

The board helps you achieve your 1-5-year goals like revenue growth, improved profitability, improved culture, or preparing your business for acquisition. Advisors are experts in strategy, brand, marketing, finance, culture, operations, reputation management and sales.

You set the objectives. The Trusted Advisor Board helps you achieve those goals.

Tap into the advisors’ network of contacts, connections, brands, PE/VC relationships, vendors, prospective employees, and other valuable resources.

You may pay for this board with one new client that we help you secure.

We provide independent and objective insights and candid recommendations that can help you improve a company’s growth strategy. 

We offer frank and sage critiques and recommendations to guide companies so they can achieve their goals. 

The value of this advisory team is to help you, as the owner/founder/CEO, achieve your stated short-term and long-term goals.
