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.
Join the Strategic Advisory Mastermind
Where marketing minds become strategy leaders paid for their thinking
This isn’t just a place to learn — it’s a space to level up, shoulder to shoulder with peers who face the same client challenges and want sharper tools to lead with clarity.
Guided Sessions
Authentic Peer Conversations
Real-world examples of proposals, offers that sell, and best practices to implement
This mastermind gives you a framework, a room full of sharp peers, and the honest feedback you need to grow into the strategist your clients truly need.
Build the skills, confidence, and community to tackle high-stakes advisory work with greater ease and impact.
Confidence is contagious in the right room
When you're surrounded by smart marketers cheering you on and sharing what works, it's a whole lot easier to stay motivated and take action.

"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.
