What This Revenue Model Is

Most consultants make ongoing access to themselves structurally impossible, a different client every quarter, a full calendar, and no way for their best relationships to compound. A corporate membership programme solves this permanently. The company pays annually. The access is structured. The relationship compounds.

Companies pay annual dues for ongoing access.

B2B revenue

Organizations pay recurring dues for access to your content, network, or intelligence. Serving corporate members takes account management, which keeps cost moderate, but the recurring B2B revenue is strong and durable.

Corporate and B2B memberships run as tiered annual dues, commonly several thousand to tens of thousands per company depending on access level.

Benchmarked to 2024-2026 corporate membership and partnership norms (IEG, peer-council corporate pricing). Set tiers by the value of access, not headcount alone.

Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
