What does it take to create a $100K consulting offer for corporate clients? Let's once and for all move on from trading time for dollars. In this episode, Jessica Fearnley and I talk about what it truly takes to structure a high-value $100K consulting offer for corporate clients, without overcomplicating your services or building a massive team or charging an hourly rate.But this conversation goes beyond pricing.We talk about what happens after you leave corporate, recover from burnout, and rebuild your confidence. We unpack the emotional and strategic transition many experienced women consultants face when they hit six figures and begin asking what’s next.Jessica shares how she moved from project management into building a multi-six-figure B2B consulting business rooted in high-value advisory retainers. We explore:What a $100K advisory retainer actually includesHow to package your consulting services inside the budgets corporate already invests inWhy trying to “educate” buyers slows down the saleThe recovery phase after corporate trauma, and why many women underprice themselves during itHow to position yourself as a trusted strategic advisor instead of a service providerWhy “the more they pay, the less they get” can be true at premium levelsIf you want to move from hourly work or project-based consulting into high-value B2B advisory retainers, this episode gives you both the strategic framework and the mindset shift required to do it.This is about packaging expertise, reclaiming authority, and building a consulting business that aligns with your life, not just your revenue goals.Chapters:00:56 👩‍💼 Meet Jessica and Her Consulting Evolution02:43 🔥 Recover from Burnout Before You Rebuild04:49 🔄 Reevaluate What Comes After Six Figures10:22 🤱 Design a Business That Works with Your Energy and Life Stage15:32 🏢 Recognize Why Venture Funding Isn’t the Only Path to Growth17:37 🤝 Step Into the Role of Trusted Strategic Advisor19:44 📦 Package Your Consulting Offer Inside Existing Corporate Budgets30:26 💼 Understand the $100K Advisory Retainer Model Links:Website: jessicafearnley.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-fearnley-47173019 Explore Jessica Fearnley’s work, tune into her podcast, and connect with her on LinkedIn to discover how you can build a premium consulting business that reflects your true value and ambition.
