Question 2

What is a Sage?

Accepted Answer

The term 'sage' refers to someone profoundly wise. At Sagely, our Sages are not just wise—they are thoroughly vetted advisors recognized as experts in their fields. Each Sage is also trained in our proprietary advisory framework, which is specially designed to meet the unique needs of small businesses and early-to-growth stage entrepreneurs.

Question 3

How do you vet your Sages?

Accepted Answer

At Sagely, vetting Sages is a rigorous and serious process. Only one in three experts who apply meet our high standards and make it onto our platform. Each candidate undergoes a robust vetting and interview process, ensuring they bring deep industry and functional expertise.

Additionally, our Sages are selected for their high emotional intelligence, crucial for understanding your needs and providing meaningful advice. Over 90% of our Sages are successful entrepreneurs or small business owners themselves, equipped with firsthand insights. They are also trained in our proprietary Advisory Framework, designed to navigate you from problem to solution in just one session.

Rest assured, the experience, authenticity, and quality of our Sages are of utmost importance.

What is your proprietary framework?

A framework, in the consulting or advisory world, is like a template that is used to breakdown and solve business problems. Our advisory framework was developed specifically for small businesses and startups. It’s designed to ensure that we get from problem to solution quickly within the parameters of the session. It also helps us provide you with strategies and recommendations that fit your business.

Most sessions are 40 minutes long, while some sessions can be 20 minutes depending on the functional area. For example “general legal” Sage sessions are typically 20 minutes long.

We will have an official public launch very soon. In the meantime, you can Join the Waitlist  to get early access to any Sage before their schedule gets booked.

Question 10

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my session?

Accepted Answer

If you need to cancel or reschedule an upcoming session, we ask that you do that at least 24 hours before the session. For any cancellations, or reschedules within 24 hours of the session, we do charge a fee to compensate the Sage for the last minute change. All cancellations or reschedules must happen through your Sagely account. Please reach out to support@mysagely.com if you need further assistance.
