Sound familiar?

The retention problems founders bring us every week.

01Churn

"There's a big drop-off between month 0 and month 1 and we can't figure out why."

Get a retention operator to find the leak in your lifecycle and tell you exactly how to plug it.

02Flows

"Our Klaviyo flows are basic and haven't been touched in a year."

A flow-by-flow audit from someone who builds these for 8 and 9-figure brands — welcome, abandonment, post-purchase, winback.

03Subscriptions

"How do we launch (or fix) subscriptions without tanking retention?"

Subscription strategy and offer design from operators who have scaled recurring revenue.

How MentorPass works

The easiest way to hire an email marketing consultant.

Find your expert, book a call, solve your problem — and keep them on when you’re ready.

  1. 1. Find your expert

    Browse email, Klaviyo and retention experts, and pick the one who fits your stack.

  2. 2. Book a call

    Choose a time and book a 1:1. Your expert reviews your flows before you meet.

Everything you need to know about hiring an email marketing consultant.

What is an email marketing consultant?+

An email marketing consultant helps you turn your owned channels — email, SMS and lifecycle — into your most profitable revenue stream. That means auditing your Klaviyo flows, fixing the leaks between first and repeat purchase, building subscription and winback programs, and lifting customer lifetime value (LTV) so you can afford to acquire more aggressively.

What does an email marketing consultant do?+

Day to day, an email and retention consultant audits and rebuilds your core Klaviyo flows — welcome, abandonment, post-purchase and winback — then tightens segmentation and deliverability, designs your campaign calendar, and builds the subscription and loyalty mechanics that lift LTV. The best ones treat email and SMS as a revenue engine, not just newsletter sends.

What is retention marketing?+

Retention marketing is the discipline of getting existing customers to buy again — through email, SMS, subscriptions and loyalty — rather than relying only on new-customer acquisition. Because reaching your own list costs a fraction of paid ads, retention is usually the highest-margin growth lever a DTC brand has, and the one most brands under-invest in.

How much does an email marketing consultant cost?

Don't take our word for it. Hear from the operators building the next generation of iconic brands.

04LTV

"We need to raise LTV so we can afford to spend more on acquisition."

The whole point of retention: lift LTV so your paid channels open back up. Build the roadmap with an expert.

05Email + SMS

"We're not sure how email and SMS should work together."

Channel strategy, cadence and segmentation from people who run both at scale.

06Deliverability

"Open rates are dropping and I think we have a deliverability problem."

Diagnose sender reputation, list health and segmentation before it costs you revenue.

3. Solve your problem

Get on the call and leave with a prioritized list of fixes to implement this week.

  • Keep them on

    Want hands-on help? Retain the same expert to build out your lifecycle program with you.

  • +

    Email and retention agencies typically charge $2,000–$8,000+ per month to manage your account. On MentorPass you start with a single 1:1 session — a senior strategist’s eyes on your program for the price of one call. Want ongoing help? Set up a coaching retainer with the same expert, after you’ve already seen what they can do.

    Can they help specifically with Klaviyo?+

    Yes. Most of these experts build and optimize Klaviyo (and SMS) programs daily for DTC brands — flows, segmentation, deliverability and reporting. Bring your account and they'll review it before the call.

    Email vs. retention — what’s the difference?+

    Email is a channel; retention is the goal. The best operators treat email and SMS as the engine for retention — reducing churn, building subscriptions and lifting LTV. The experts here cover the full lifecycle, not just campaign sends.

    Who are the experts on MentorPass?+

    They include the author of ‘Retention Economics’, the founder of an email/SMS platform, and heads of retention at brands like Mars, HexClad and RYZE. Every profile shows experience, ratings and verbatim reviews so you can choose the right fit.

    Can I get ongoing help, not just one call?+

    Yes — it’s the most common path. Start with a one-off audit, then put the same expert on an ongoing coaching retainer to build and run your lifecycle program with you. You decide the cadence once you’ve found the right person.

    The leading expert network for consumer brands.

    MentorPass was created in 2020 to give everyone access to the mentors who can help them best achieve their goals. In 2021, we went all in on the DTC industry, and have since built the strongest network in the world.
