I’ve developed a platform for MBA graduate students, offering 1:1 mock case interviews with former/active consultant experts, currently focusing on consulting.
The app is still in pre-alpha and fully functional for both sides, I’m in the phase of onboarding consultants who may be interested in joining and start posting their coaching offers on the platform and making extra cash per month by helping students be better at case interviews.
However I struggle to find consultants, I get few responses to my invitation messages, and this slows my growth because I need consultants in the app before I start looking for students.
I would like to hear your advice on that and if you have some tips.
Would it be easier to bring students if you had more/better consultants? Or to bring consultants if you had more students?
Consultants should be more interested in how much traffic you can bring to their doorstep because they already have a platform. A new platform means a new commitment, and if there’s nothing feasible for them then there’s no incentive to do so.
