Membership Has it's Privileges
The success of every member is built on 3 things
ONE: a productized service with a fixed scope, time, and price.
Every community member is building their business around a core productized service with a fixed scope, time, and price. You will choose from one of three categories and customize accordingly: done-for-you (agency services), done-with-you (coaching services), or do-it-yourself (digital products).
How we measure success: A profitable productized service has 8 critical elements. Your membership includes access to The Productizer, our AI-powered proprietary software tool to help you design these elements according to the needs of your business. Once you complete The Productizer, you will have:
-
A base structure (series of milestones) for all of your customers to follow
-
A standard operating procedure (SOP) checklist for you and your team to execute the service
-
A premium price that values your expertise
- Appropriate support options for your customers so your service feels "safe" to buy
-
Attractive, "easy" elements so your customers feel like results come with minimal effort
-
A results-based, risk-reversal guarantee you feel comfortable offering to new customers
- ...and more
"...and now we are able to say 28 days, 10 steps, 80 tasks. This price. Would you like one?"
- Adam Fairhead, Fairhead Creative
TWO: a content-based inbound lead generation strategy.
Every community member is creating relevant, respectful, and professional content pieces to attract clientele interested in their work. No spam posts. No salacious emails. No content hamster wheel. No algorithm hacks.
How we measure success: Our content-based inbound lead generation strategy is built off 7 pieces of content. Your membership includes access to "The Expert's Ecosystem", a step-by-step process to turn your content into an evergreen lead machine. Once you complete The Expert's Ecosystem, you will have:
-
7 pieces of authority building, lead-generating content
- A relevant call-to-action for each person who views the content
- Clear instructions on where (and how) to post the content
- Base metrics to evaluate your sales funnel: impressions, clicks, leads, sales, etc
- ...and more
"More people are looking and responding at my message..."
- Tre Gammage Education Consultant, SEL Educators
THREE: "Doing the work" with supportive colleagues.
Every community member is a member of a community. We are interested in how you learn, progress, contribute, and engage. The community celebrates/appreciates with you during high times - and provides encouragement/perspective for you during low times.
How we measure success: We track individual member engagement and progress. As a member of the community, you will be introduced to:
- "The Most Important Thing" concept - a framework we use to keep conversations focused on what matters
- Weekly Group Coaching Calls - a chance to "see" everyone and "hear" their progress in their own words
- Direct feedback via community forum - post a question and get a response from other experienced members
- Quarterly Reviews and Wrap-Ups - to keep your short-term efforts aligned with your long-term goals
- Accountability Call-Outs - if you have something "due", we aren't afraid to call you out about it (professionally)
- ...and more

How does this work?
You are supported at every step
Support Element 1: Personalized Onboarding Process
What this is: Meet Taylor Bell, our onboarding specialist, who will work with you 1-on-1 to make sure your first 30 days are most productive.
What it does for you: You "hit the ground" running in the first 30 days. Taylor gets you familiar with every tool and template contained in the community.
She makes sure you schedule your weekly group coaching calls, watch the introductory workshop, download the productizing checklist, and know how to get direct access to me.
Support Element 2: Virtual Team
What this is: We've transformed our traditional "coursework" into a series of proprietary, AI-powered software tools. These tools are your "team of experts" to help you execute more quickly.
What it does for you: The The Virtual Team specializes in creating maximum output from your minimum input. You can customize templates, re-shape content, and iterate on your services much faster - because the Virtual Team does the heavy lifting for you.
Support Element 3: Honest Feedback from Colleagues
What this is: A feedback loop to share your progress, challenges, and ideas with other experienced consultants.
What it does for you: Your peers are your sounding board, providing a realistic assessment of your strategies. This ensures that you're not working in isolation and your thoughts are vetted by those who have walked a similar path. This valuable feedback loop allows you to refine your approach, avoid common pitfalls, and capitalize on effective strategies more quickly.
Success Element 4: Direct Response from Me
What this is: As a member, you get direct access to me, Alzay Calhoun, through private messaging and weekly group coaching calls.
What it does for you: This ensures you have a direct line to an experienced coach who can provide immediate and personalized feedback. Get timely and specific advice tailored to your unique challenges and goals. Whether you need strategic guidance, answers to pressing questions, or a second opinion on your approach, I'm here to help.
What Qualifies Me to Lead this Group?
This membership is where I invest the majority of my time. When most people reach out for coaching services, they want to work with me specifically. Since I am only one person, there is no way I can satisfy that demand. However, this community represents the single most powerful, long-term resource I can offer to help you reach your goals.
The truth is: a successful, thriving consulting business requires a lot of skills, many projects, and the willingness to iterate and improve over time. In order to navigate this well, you need intentionally curated information, organized into a step-by-step action plan. That plan is provided here.
Further, I am an active part of this community. I respond to member messages, interact in the discussion area, host weekly live sessions, and create new tools and course material. I wish a resource like this was available to me when I got started, but I'm glad it exists now - and I'm glad I am able to make it available to you.
My business has been "productized" for 15 years. Over 15 years ago, I ran a small marketing agency where everything was custom-built for each client. The clients were great, but the work was terrible. Unpaid custom proposals, senseless scope creep, and shrinking profit margins with longer hours worked. It was all terribly inefficient.
I slowly started to structure and systemize things according to how *I knew* they should work—in order to be fair to me and the client. This effort is called productizing, and my decision to productize, permanently changed my business for the better. I expect the same result for you.
Coaching is my preferred business model. In the transition above, I learned (and admitted to myself) that I was more comfortable—and more excited about—serving my clients as a "coach" instead of an "agency." For the next 12 years, I continued the journey of productizing the marketing, sales, and delivery of my intangible "coaching" advice.
I've learned the best coaches aren't just smart, experienced advisors. They also support their advice with repeatable systems and documented strategies. In other words, the best coaches offer a combination of done-for-you (agency) and done-with-you (coaching).
I have over a decade of navigating the nuance, art, and science of productizing advice. I'm excited to offer that insight to you.
My business is driven by content marketing and inbound leads. I started the Coveted Consultant YouTube Channel over 12 years ago. At the time, I did not plan to become a video expert in any way. I was just hoping I could "post some content and get leads." Since then, I've made over 477 videos...
I can plainly say my YouTube channel (and dedication to content-based inbound marketing) is the most profitable decision I've made in regards to attracting new clientele.
I’ve learned a LOT about content, marketing, lead generation, and sales. In short, I understand how content creates clients. I want you to benefit from content marketing - without the cost of 12 years and 400+ YouTube videos. I’ve done the hard and heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Additional Training Available in The Vault
Whenever the community expresses a need I create a system or course in response. Here are some of the courses the community has access to in "The Vault".
Here's what students say about The Vault...
Our members get results
Working alone, we often lack the discipline to push ourselves.
Do you remember high school? I was in the marching band and played basketball – there was a LOT of training involved in both.
The great thing about organized activities is that you have a coach. You have teammates. Your coach and your teammates hold you accountable and push you beyond your comfort zone to reach your potential.
Your full potential is unlocked with the right support system.
Whether you want to upgrade your service, create better content, or drive more leads – this environment provides the accountability and push you need to achieve your potential and leverage the best of your abilities.
