The growth system for independent consultants

Build.
Prove.
Grow.

Your client work already contains the raw material. ConsultKit turns it into clearer positioning, credible proof, and referrals you can depend on.

Built by an independent consultant to structure the work every consultant knows matters but that they rarely take the time to systematize.

You don't have a pipeline problem. You have three problems that need to be fixed. Positioning that lives in your head. Results that never become proof. Referrals that happen by chance. Fix them one by one and create structured pipeline growth.

01Build with Clarify

Get specific about who you serve and what you offer.

Synthesize client and target-account data. Create focused ideal client profiles, target personas, clear offerings, and strong positioning. Everything downstream builds on what you define here.

The roadmap to your next client is already sitting in your last engagement.

  • ICP worksheet builder
  • Offer packaging framework
  • Positioning statement
02Prove with Testify

Capture proof before the moment passes.

Send testimonial requests tied to your delivery, approve what clients submit, and publish the proof your next client is looking for.

The best time to ask for an endorsement is the day the results of your efforts are clear, not weeks after.

  • One-click requests
  • Wall of Love embed
  • Video testimonials
03Grow with Referee

Make word of mouth intentional.

Create referral campaigns, give advocates an easy way to refer new clients, and track introductions and rewards without making the relationship transactional.

Enough structure to build a system. Not another platform that requires a marketing department.

  • Campaign builder
  • Introduction pipeline
  • Reward ledger
And then it repeats

Great client work makes your next client easier to win.

Referred clients arrive pre-sold, which sharpens the next round of positioning, which produces more proof of value. Three focused tools, one growth system, and the context carries forward instead of being rebuilt every quarter.

  • Clearer positioning
  • Credible proof
  • Intentional referrals
Getting started

Three steps, then a rhythm.

  1. 01

    Start with the gap that costs you most

    Pick the system that is weakest right now: positioning that lives in your head, results that never become proof, or referrals that happen by chance. Start a free trial of that app first. Add the others once the first one is working.

  2. 02

    Complete one useful growth asset

    Build one thing you can use this week: an ideal client profile in Clarify, a testimonial request in Testify, or a referral campaign in Referee. Something finished and in front of clients, not a workspace waiting to be filled in.

  3. 03

    Review and strengthen each month

    Once a month, look at what moved: which new clients fit your profile, which results became proof, which introductions turned into conversations. Strengthen the weakest link and repeat. The rhythm catches what hindsight would otherwise catch for you, six weeks too late.

Why I made this

I built the systems I couldn't find.

I knew how to serve clients. That didn't build a consistent pipeline. My ICP and offerings were never as rigorous as they should have been. Strong client feedback was not captured systematically. Referrals happened, but not through a process I could manage.

The available tools were either disconnected, generic, or priced for businesses much further along. ConsultKit is the system I needed: focused on independent consultants, practical enough to use, and priced around productive outcomes.

You're the expert. ConsultKit makes sure your target market knows it.

Pricing

We believe pricing should be based on outcomes.

Apps start at $9 per month and scale with outcomes. You see a live estimate and an advance invoice before anything is billed. Outcome charges are capped, excluding converted referrals.

ConsultKit module pricing
ClarifyICP, personas, offerings, positioning statement$9
TestifyForms, collection, approvals, Wall of Love embed$9
RefereeCampaigns, introduction pipeline, reward ledger$9
All three, one account, one workspace, starting at$27 / mo

ConsultKit does not guarantee leads, referrals, clients, or revenue. It gives you the systems and the prompts to do the work that makes them more likely.

Questions worth asking

Do I need all three modules?

No. Each stands on its own. They are worth more together because they share the same offering context.

Does ConsultKit generate leads?

It does not. It builds the systems that make referrals, proof, and positioning work harder. The outreach is still yours.

Why start with Clarify?

Proof and referrals both need a named offering to attach to. Without it you collect praise that does not point anywhere.

How is outcome pricing calculated?

Our fees depend on your success. Gather more testimonials, receive more referrals and we share in your success up to a reasonable maximum. A live estimate shows every charge before billing. Converted referrals are uncapped but a small fee anyone is willing to pay.

Can I use target accounts if I am new?

Yes. Clarify works from target-account research as well as past clients, so a newer practice is not locked out.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Your ICPs, proof, and referral records are yours, exportable at any time.

Create systems to build your pipeline that don't rely on content and cold outreach.

Positioning, proof, and referrals, built from the work you've already done.
