Smart Mentoring is a consulting company for experts who already have paying clients and no repeatable system behind them. We have installed premium offers for more than 650 expert businesses across Europe.
Nothing here is a talent problem. It is a structure problem, and structure is fixable.
They are the same three we had to fix in our own business.
01
What one client actually costs to acquire and deliver, what your capacity per person really is, and what price the model needs in order to work.
Most premium offers are priced on feel. A €10,000 offer becomes a €6,000 offer once acquisition, commission and delivery are counted, and if you have not done that arithmetic, scaling makes the problem bigger rather than smaller.
02
Not a specific funnel. One person whose only job is turning existing leads into booked calls, every day, across every channel.
Most expert businesses do not have a lead problem. They have a list of people who raised their hand and were never worked. That single function is what makes revenue predictable.
03
Premium is not access to you. Premium is the client's best chance of the outcome, with the least friction.
That requires a mapped client journey, named sessions with defined jobs, documented standards, and a way to see objectively how every client is progressing, so the quality does not depend on your energy on a given Tuesday.
On expertise, reputation and the founder's own energy.
That works, right up until the point where it does not. Demand grew faster than the structure underneath it. More clients meant more people delivering, higher fixed costs every month, and a margin that was always thinner than the revenue suggested. The client results were excellent throughout. The business underneath them was not built to carry them.
What changed it was unglamorous, and it is the same work we now do with clients. We priced the offer so the model works, rather than so the number feels reasonable. We made one person responsible for turning interest into booked calls. We rebuilt delivery so it no longer depended on whoever had the most energy that week. Fewer clients, a higher price, a smaller and more senior team, and considerably more of what we invoiced actually reaching the bank.
We are not going to promise you a number. What we can tell you is that we have made most of the expensive mistakes available in this business, and we would rather you skipped them.
We work on the offer, the price, how clients reach you, and the structure around delivery. What you actually do inside the room stays yours. If you have paid someone before and spent months finding your way back to your own positioning, this is the difference.
We rebuild the offer, set the price the model needs, and install the acquisition path, then work it until the first clients come through at the new number. It is a defined piece of work with a defined end.
For businesses that already have a team and a proven offer, the constraint is usually talent, delivery capacity or leadership rather than positioning. That is a longer engagement, and we will tell you on the call which one you are.

Individual results. Not typical and not a guarantee. Outcomes depend on your business, market, team and implementation.
Smart Mentoring was founded in 2020 by Marianne Lehikoinen and built past seven figures. She is the author of Breakthrough, which covers how an expert business stops depending on its founder: the pricing, the offer structure, and the order the changes have to happen in.
Since then she has assembled a team around that method. Offer and pricing, sales structure, acquisition, delivery design, each part in the hands of someone who does that work full time for expert led businesses and nothing else. You get the whole team on your business rather than one person's available hours, and Marianne sets the standard the work is held to.
We will look at your current model, identify what is actually constraining it, and tell you whether this is the right next step. If it is not, we will say so on the call.
A few questions first, so the call starts somewhere useful. Takes two minutes.
