A 4-week program by Richard Millington

Consulting
Foundations

Get your niche, positioning, offer, and pricing right — the four decisions most consultants keep avoiding for years.

Starts March 16, 2026
Live group sessions
4 weeks · 2–3 hrs/week
The real problem

Most consultants struggle for the wrong reason

It's not that you lack skill, experience, or the ability to deliver results. It's that you've never clearly defined what you do, who you help, or why you're different.

So you end up competing on price, rewriting proposals from scratch, and attracting clients who were never a great fit. The harder you work, the more exhausting it becomes.

Consulting Foundations fixes the root cause — not the symptoms. Four weeks, four core decisions, and the clarity that makes everything else dramatically easier.

"By the end of this program, you won't just have ideas or notes. You'll have made the key decisions most consultants keep avoiding."

The curriculum

Four weeks.
Four foundations.

Each week tackles one of the decisions that determines whether your consultancy thrives or stays stuck. You'll work through proven frameworks, complete structured exercises, and arrive at real decisions — not just notes.

Week 01
Niche Selection & Market Focus

Discover which clients to serve and where to compete — so positioning, pricing, and offers become easier for the rest of your career.

  • Assess which industries and problem spaces have real budgets and urgency
  • Map crowded markets vs overlooked spaces where you become the obvious choice
  • Find where your past experience creates unfair authority
  • Define the exact organisation and decision-maker you'll target
Week 02
Positioning & Authority

Establish how you should be perceived so clients immediately understand your value, trust your expertise, and stop comparing you to cheaper alternatives.

  • Define the specific problem you'll consistently be known for
  • Surface proof points that signal credibility — not just capability
  • Frame your value around outcomes, not activities
  • Craft a positioning statement that works across every touchpoint
Week 03
Offer Design & Packaging

Figure out what to sell so prospects understand your value instantly and feel confident saying yes — without reinventing your services for every client.

  • Identify which client problems are urgent and well-defined enough to sell
  • Reduce the perceived risk of hiring you
  • Structure your offer so it feels complete and outcome-focused
  • Create 2–3 repeatable core offers you can sell again and again
Week 04
Pricing & Fee Strategy

Learn which pricing tier to operate in so your fees feel obvious, justified, and easy for clients to accept — without the discomfort or second-guessing.

  • Select the right model: Turnkey, Templated, Customised, or Individualised
  • Price the offer — not your time
  • Align fees to what your niche actually expects and accepts
  • Create a consistent, repeatable fee structure you use everywhere
How it works

Structured. Practical. Live.

4 Live Sessions

One group coaching call each week, working through that week's framework together.

Structured Exercises

Practical work between sessions so you arrive at decisions, not just notes.

Proven Frameworks

Real-world frameworks drawn from 15+ years of active consulting with major clients.

Group Discussion

Time for questions, feedback, and learning from other consultants in the same room.

Session Recordings

Can't attend live? Every session is recorded so you never miss a thing.

Who's teaching this

Not a coach who used to consult

Richard Millington founded FeverBee in 2010 and has spent 15+ years building and advising enterprise communities for some of the world's most recognised organisations. He's an active consultant — not someone teaching theory from the sidelines.

His newsletter, Indispensable Consulting, reaches 15,000+ independent consultants every week. The frameworks in this program are what he uses and refines continuously — not a course written years ago.

He also knows what it feels like when the pipeline dries up, when you're competing on price, and when you've been avoiding the hard decisions for too long. That's what this program is built around.

What you'll walk away with

Not ideas. Not notes.
Decisions.

By the end of four weeks, you won't have a list of things to think about. You'll have made the choices most consultants keep deferring — and have the language to act on them immediately.

Clear niche & positioning

A positioning statement you can use publicly — on your website, LinkedIn, and in every sales conversation.

1–3 defined offers

Consulting offers with scope and pricing already worked out — ready to put in front of clients.

Reusable language

Words that work across your website, proposals, and calls. No more rewriting from scratch for every new prospect.

A work acceptance framework

A simple decision filter for what to take on — and what to decline — without second-guessing yourself.

Pricing confidence

Know what to charge, how to justify it, and how to hold the number — without flinching in the conversation.

Decisions, not notes

The four foundations most consultants keep avoiding — niche, positioning, offer, and price — made and documented.

Common questions

Got questions?
Here are answers.

Who is this program for?
Independent consultants who struggle to articulate what they do, who they help, or why they're different. Many participants have been consulting for years but never made these decisions explicitly.
What if I can't attend every session live?
Every session is recorded. You can watch at your own pace and still complete the exercises. Live attendance is encouraged but not required to get full value.
How much time do I need each week?
One live session plus 1–2 hours for exercises in between. Designed to fit around an active consultancy — not require you to pause it.
Will this work for my specific niche?
The frameworks are industry-agnostic and have been applied across technology, professional services, B2B, and specialist consulting practices. If you sell expertise, this applies to you.
What makes this different from other programs?
Richard is an active consultant — not a coach who used to consult. He's working with major clients right now. The frameworks reflect what's working in 2026, not theory written years ago.
What's the refund policy?
If you attend the first session and decide the program isn't right for you, request a full refund within 48 hours. No awkward conversations, no conditions.
