Can mentoring build my personal brand?
Yes. Mentoring on GrowthMentor builds a reputation in other people's words. Your profile is public, founders thank you there in their own words, and your rank grows with every review. People who look you up see who you've helped and what it meant to them.
What do people see when they look me up?
- Your profile. Your story, your skills and the problems you like to help with. See how to fill in your profile.
- Reviews from founders. Written by the members you helped, in their words.
- Your rank. From Newbie to Midas, it shows how many founders have thanked you. See what the ranks mean.
- Your intro video, if you add one. See how to add an intro video.
Why does that beat writing about myself?
Because somebody else is saying it. A founder describing the call that got them unstuck carries more weight than any bio. "The most rewarding part is helping a founder, then seeing a review about how it actually moved their business." Daniel Johnson
Can I share it?
Yes. Your profile has its own link. Add it to your LinkedIn, your website or your email signature.
Does GrowthMentor tell mentors' stories?
Yes. We publish mentor stories, where mentors talk about their work and why they mentor. "Joining GrowthMentor has been the highlight of my career." Zev Asch
How do I build it faster?
Be generous on every call. Answer requests fast, send the founder away with one or two clear next steps, and tell them a review would mean a lot. See how to get your first reviews.
