Consulting is rewarding, but uncertainty is real. Whether you just left a corporate role or you have years in the field, AFN is a free peer community where consultants and experts share strategies, referrals, and support to attract better clients and grow sustainably.
Consultants often leave corporate roles with deep expertise but little guidance on how to win clients, set fees, or position themselves with confidence. Others have been consulting for years but struggle to attract higher-value work, raise rates, or escape the project-to-project grind.
Inside Agency Founders Network, consultants connect with peers who’ve solved these same problems. It’s a place to compare approaches, share referrals, and build the confidence that comes from knowing you’re not figuring it out alone.
