Custom Advisory Engagement – Starting at Strategic Retainer Levels
Our advisory engagements are structured as tailored strategic retainers designed for enterprise and mid-market organizations. Each engagement is scoped with clear deliverables, measurable outcomes, and defined governance frameworks to ensure alignment with your executive priorities and business objectives. Engagement terms, including fee, duration, and communication cadence, are customized to your organization’s strategic needs and operational context.
Get practical and researched insights you can reference to over time.
Comprehensive Executive Business and Revenue Audit
We conduct a full review of your organization’s strategic foundation and revenue‑generating processes. This includes evaluating your mission and vision, company culture, key operational processes, core services, organizational structure, and growth channels. After the review, we deliver a clear report that highlights the top 3–5 priority opportunities for improvement and growth, with recommendations you can act on.
Executive Alignment and OKR Integration
We help your leadership teams align around shared strategic goals and measurable outcomes. This includes defining clear Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) that tie organizational priorities to operational execution, ensuring everyone from executives to teams understands how their work contributes to strategic success.
Market Calibration: Total Addressable Market (TAM) to Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
We assess your market opportunity by estimating the Total Addressable Market and then refining this to identify your Ideal Customer Profile — the customers who are most likely to benefit from and invest in your offerings. This ensures your go‑to‑market efforts are focused on the segments that will drive efficient growth.
KPIs and Performance Scorecards
We build meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and structured scorecards that make it easy to track performance across functions. These tools provide real‑time visibility into how the business is performing against strategic goals and enable leadership to make informed decisions.
Iterative Experimentation and Continuous Improvement
Our approach emphasizes structured experimentation, measurement, and refinement — a cycle of testing assumptions, capturing data, and refining based on results. This continuous improvement process ensures that strategies and initiatives evolve with market feedback and deliver scalable impact.
Brand Strategy and Market Positioning
We support the development of your brand strategy — the narrative, positioning, and differentiation that enable you to connect with your ideal customers and stand out in the market. This includes refining messaging, value propositions, and visual identity to strengthen market presence and competitive advantage.

My team had a technical and business-related challenge in building our first digital products at SoftSkillsPills.com.
We needed a platform to handle all our payment & taxes related issues, while at the same time integrating with our WordPress-based site.
Mario quickly grasped the context & shared valuable knowledge both business-wise and technically-wise. We successfully implemented what he suggested and had our 50 sales in the first week of the launch with no issues :)

I've known Mario for a long time and he's an amazing teacher, mentor, and friend.
He is an entrepreneur who has consistently achieved success over the years. Mario always gives advice that is clear, useful, and straight to the point.
If you're thinking about starting a business, I really recommend his book, "126 Steps to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur."

My mentorship/coaching session with Mario was amazing and the follow-up with the closed Slack community was amazing - something to keep me on the right track with the right people.
The advice I was given took me some time to overcome my fears and implement, but once implemented, results were jaw-dropping.
