§ Compare · MAVEN vs Consultancies
MAVEN vs traditional consultancies.
Consultancies deliver advice. We deliver installations. Same engagement length, very different deliverable — here's the row-by-row trade-off.
§ The trade-offs
Side by side, row by row.
| Factor | MAVEN | Traditional Consultancy |
|---|---|---|
| Deliverable | A configured Apollo account + live sequences | Strategy document or slide deck |
| Approach | Build alongside your team, in the trenches | Advise from the sidelines, weekly calls |
| Timeline | 1-month build + 12 months of support | Open-ended retainer (3–12+ months) |
| Tools & tech | Configured, integrated, and live | Recommended but not implemented |
| Team training | Live call coaching and role-plays | One-off workshop or training session |
| Post-engagement | Your team runs the system independently | Ongoing dependency for guidance |
| Accountability | Pipeline metrics tracked weekly | Qualitative progress updates |
§ The bottom line
A deck is a deliverable to a consultant. It's evidence the work didn't happen.
We don't write strategy you don't implement. We install the engine, train the team, then leave. Book a Virtual Coffee — we'll tell you whether that's what you need.
