Consulting Success

What Consulting Success does

Consulting Success (legal entity Advicetap Digital Inc.) is a Vancouver, Canada-based coaching and education company founded in 2005 by brothers Michael and Sam Zipursky. The company delivers 1:1 private coaching and supporting educational content for independent and small-team consulting business owners, with primary targeting of six- and seven-figure consultants seeking to scale. Its flagship paid offering is the Clarity Coaching™ Program, built around the proprietary Consulting Success® Growth System, the Clarity Coaching™ Framework, and the Magnetic Messaging Formula, and supplemented by four bestselling books authored by the founders (Act Now, Consulting Success, The Elite Consulting Mind, Productization Playbook), a weekly podcast distributed across Apple, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, and Overcast, a blog, downloadable templates, and free lead magnets. The company is founder-owned, bootstrapped, and reportedly serves over 10,000 consultants cumulatively with a 100,000+ audience across content channels.

The business operates on a high-touch, application-based sales motion: prospective clients enter through a free growth session before being enrolled in the Clarity Coaching program, which is sold on a subscription basis with monthly billing at undisclosed pricing that testimonials indicate falls in the five-figure range per engagement. GTM is hybrid sales-led and community-led, combining content marketing, podcast distribution, and peer networks among six- and seven-figure consultants to drive qualified applications. Technology infrastructure is conventional: a WordPress-based website with content distribution via mainstream podcast platforms, supported by Stripe and PayPal for payments, HubSpot and Keap for marketing automation, and Zoom for coaching delivery. AI integration is nascent and limited to AI-enhanced templates and a recently published AI Information page, with no disclosed AI/ML senior hires, proprietary models, or third-party AI validation.

Direct peers

• Sam Ovens / Consulting.com: Sam Ovens' Consulting.com is one of the most prominent direct competitors in the consulting-coaching space, offering programs and software (KlickTest) for individual consultants. It targets an overlapping audience of aspiring and established independent consultants with similar coaching-style products and content marketing funnels.
• Strategic Coach: Founded by Dan Sullivan, Strategic Coach is a long-running coaching organization for entrepreneurs and consultants using a quarterly workshop and proprietary tools (e.g., Unique Ability). It competes with Consulting Success in the high-ticket coaching segment for established consultants and advisors.
• Mitch Harper / My Consulting Offer: My Consulting Offer is a direct peer that helps independent consultants land clients at premium rates through programs and workshops. It targets the same ICP (solo and small-firm consultants) and competes on positioning and pricing strategy content.

Emerging players

• Dean Graziosi: Dean Graziosi is a major figure in the high-ticket coaching and education space (Mastermind, BNB program) with significant overlap in the entrepreneur-coaching market. While broader than consultants specifically, he competes for the same 'knowledgepreneur' segment and attention.
• Blair Singer: Blair Singer is a long-standing coach and author focused on sales, leadership, and business building for consultants and entrepreneurs. His programs and books overlap directly with the Clarity Coaching curriculum on sales, pricing, and business growth.
• Mirasee: Mirasee (formerly Firepole Marketing) is a business education and coaching company that helps experts, coaches, and consultants build profitable online businesses. It targets a similar 'expert-to-business' audience with comparable content, courses, and coaching offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Tony Robbins Business Coaching / Mastery University: Tony Robbins' business coaching and Mastery University serve a much broader entrepreneur and business-owner audience, but compete for the same premium-priced personal/business development wallet share as Consulting Success's high-ticket coaching.
• MindValley: MindValley is a global personal and professional development platform that sells cohort-based programs across many niches including entrepreneurship. It is a broad incumbent in the same online coaching/education category and competes for the same learning-buyer.

Others

• Forbes Coaches Council: Forbes Coaches Council is an invitation-only community for executive and business coaches. While it does not directly sell coaching to consultants, it overlaps in the professional coaching ecosystem and gives its members thought-leadership visibility, increasing competitive pressure on Consulting Success's brand.
• Online Geniuses / Coaching.com-style platforms: Coaching platforms and online education infrastructure providers (e.g., CoachAccountable, Practice) sit adjacent to Consulting Success by enabling delivery and operations of coaching programs. They are ecosystem participants that could become partners or substitutes depending on integration choices.
