STRATEGIC ADVISORY MASTERMIND
Become the strategic leader that clients need
Level up faster in a community of peers who sharpen and support one another.
Don’t just wing it
Get the strategic foundation you need.
There’s an art and a science to becoming a trusted strategic advisor.
It’s not as simple as listing “fractional CMO” on your website and hoping the right clients find you.
Without real guidance, most marketers spend months—sometimes years—struggling to:
Package their value clearly
Price their expertise with confidence
Position themselves as more than just doers
If you're not already getting steady referrals for high-trust advisory work, this won’t happen overnight.
But it can happen faster—with the right support.
Why wait to figure it out the hard way?
Shorten your learning curve and accelerate your success—starting now.

"Hands-down a ton of value here."
This mastermind was super helpful—it refined some ideas I had and pushed me to create new things. Hands-down a TON of value here.
It helped me put numbers around things I wasn’t sure of, and built my confidence to sell strategy. Most importantly, I figured out how to make being an advisor a core part of my business.

"Knowing how to charge for the strategy work I was already doing (unpaid) was a game-changer. "
I was already doing strategic work—but I lacked the confidence and clear examples to know how to charge for it.
This mastermind gave me the clarity I needed to position myself as a fractional marketing and brand strategist. Now I’m charging more, making a bigger impact, and owning the role I was already playing.

"Do not wait! This makes you more, easier."
If your ideas make your clients more money, you NEED to charge for it. If you don't know how, then the Strategic Advisory Mastermind is the way to go.
I learned how to package and sell my strategy for an extra $26k before end of Q2 this year!
Do not wait.

"I loved the practical examples. Dominique doesn't hold back."
I enrolled in the Strategic Advisory Mastermind looking for insights on how to structure strategy offerings in my business. I loved the practical examples and experience shared by Dominique and the Heights team.
I can now more confidently sell Marketing Audits so that I can get paid to diagnose what’s wrong and I’m not giving strategy away for free!

"Completely transformed my business"
The strategic advisory mastermind completely transformed my business. It equipped me with the tools, knowledge, and a strong sense of accountability to successfully offer strategic advisory services to my clients.
Also, it gave me confidence in presenting myself as an industry expert during lead and client meetings. Any Guide looking to make more money while spending less time on deliverables should join.

"So helpful and validating."
This mastermind experience has been so helpful and validating as I've navigated how to productize strategy offerings.
Now that I've sold some of those strategy engagements and am onboarding clients, I wish there was a mastermind 2.0 to continue learning and asking questions as I manage day-to-day fractional CMO projects!

"100% worth it."
Participating in Dominique’s mastermind came at a really important time in my business. She helped me clarify and structure my offers, learn how to confidently sell strategy in a way prospects actually get, and connect with an amazing peer group of fellow strategists.
Honestly, my business today is built on the foundation I created in her program. If you’re considering it, I wouldn’t hesitate—it’s 100% worth it.

"I've already booked 3 strategy engagements with 2 more promising for next month."
Before the mastermind, I thought of myself primarily as a web developer who might move into strategy at some point.
Everything changed. I now know how to sell strategy clearly, show up as an advisor, and communicate my value without overexplaining or apologizing for it. As a result, I’ve already booked three strategy clients for January, with two more likely in 2026.
More importantly, my client relationships are deeper now. They don’t just see me as someone who builds a website—they trust me as an advisor. I didn’t suddenly get smarter; I finally learned how to articulate and deliver the value that was already there.

"The mastermind helped me...refine how I qualify leads."
Coming into the mastermind, I was spending way too much time trying to convince the wrong people that they needed strategy.
The mastermind helped me recognize this pattern, refine how I qualify leads, and better understand where strategy we provide at Brand3 truly fits in a business's growth stage.
The insights on referral partners and speaking to the ecosystem around decision-makers were especially valuable.

"It helped me step more confidently into the role of advisor."
What I appreciated most about the mastermind was how practical and actionable it was.
Instead of vague high-level ideas, Dominique walked us through actual structures, scripts, offers, and processes for delivering and selling strategy.It helped me step more confidently into the role of advisor and truly elevate how I serve clients.

"It has truly reshaped how I see my value"
This mastermind helped me move from being the person who loves helping everyone to understanding how to position myself as a strategic advisor who works with the right clients.
I now talk about my services differently, with more clarity and confidence.
It has truly reshaped how I see my value and how I show up in sales conversations.

"Gave me the permission and clarity I didn’t even realize I needed. "
This mastermind gave me the permission and clarity I didn’t even realize I needed. I’d been doing strategic work for years without owning it — still taking orders instead of showing up as the advisor I already was.
The frameworks and support helped me confidently reposition our agency, improve our messaging, and charge appropriately for strategy. I now see what’s possible for our business in a way I couldn’t before.

"I feel more aligned, more credible, and far better equipped."
Before the mastermind, I struggled with transitioning conversations into strategy work and felt unsure about how to position or price my offers. The mastermind helped me refine my offers, improve my confidence, and understand exactly how clients buy strategy. The guidance on building referral partnerships and showing up as an advisor was especially game-changing. I feel more aligned, more credible, and far better equipped to grow this side of my business.
