The reason I make a living from marketing consulting is _not_ because marketing advice is hard to come by, but because it's difficult to separate the good advice (0.01%) from the crap advice (99.99%).

If you actually do deliver "some of the best marketing consulting in the world," then where are the examples, case studies, influential articles, and testimonials?

Forgive me for being skeptical but a lowball price with vague promises doesn't instill confidence.

Is $89 for 30 minutes of work really lowball in marketing? If so, I'm in the wrong business...

There are two prices offered:

- $89 for one 30-min question

- $175/m for unlimited questions

The first one might pass for a normal rate, but if you expect 30 minutes to result in actionable advice that's applicable to your business, you're in for a disappointment.

There's no question about the second one.

Yes, 30 minutes of work is probably just enough to figure out what the business does, not how to market it. I wonder if this all is just an intro offer, trying to sell you real consulting services. I remember reading somewhere about a consultant (not in marketing IIRC), who would give the first hour for free, the next hour at $1, then $2, and so on. The idea was that the work early on is not as valuable to the client, and bigger projects should pay a higher rate. Never tried this myself, but I think that's a neat idea.
