How to use these tools

01

Find your niche first

Start with the niche quiz — it tells you which consulting niche fits your experience and what you could charge. Everything else builds on that answer.

02

Set your rate with benchmarks

Use the rate calculator to turn your niche and experience into a defensible rate range. No more guessing or undercharging — see what consultants in your field actually charge.

03

Build a proposal and reach out

When a prospect asks for a proposal, fill in the proposal template generator and get a formatted, client-ready document you can copy or download in seconds.

04

Sign a contract before you start

Before any work begins, use the contract template builder to generate a consulting agreement covering scope, payment terms, IP, confidentiality, and termination — protecting both you and your client.

05

Define the work with a scope of work

Once the client says yes, use the SOW generator to create a detailed scope of work — background, objectives, deliverables, timeline, milestones, out-of-scope, and acceptance criteria — so both sides know exactly what's being delivered and when.

06

Write your one-page business plan

Before any of the above, use the business plan generator to map out your positioning, target clients, offers, pricing, competitive advantage, client acquisition channels, revenue goals, and a 90-day roadmap — all on a single page you'll actually revisit.

07

Onboard every new client professionally

Once you land a client, use the client onboarding checklist to walk through a structured 5-phase onboarding — intake, contract, kickoff, deliverables, and handoff — customized to your consulting type. Check items off, track progress, and never miss a step.
