Expert Networks for Independent Consultants

Being an independent strategy consultant has its perks: flexibility, control, and the ability to focus on projects you're passionate about. But you miss some of the perks of big corporate consulting. Access to expert networks is one of those.

Traditional expert networks are geared towards large consulting firms, who pay large upfront retainers. This isn't feasible for independent and freelance consultants. And, let's face it, when you're not a high-volume client, you're lower prio than back at the old firm.

That's where Inex One comes in.

Expert Networks for Freelance Consultants

Instead of prepaying for opaque credits, you simply pay for what you use on Inex One. This model gets the incentives right: ensuring you get the same high-quality service as the big firms.

Initially I was concerned about the availability of quality of experts on the platform, but it turned out that the experts I was connected with were just as good as the ones provided by GLG, Third Bridge and others.

- James Agres, founder of 2nd St Strategy, ex-McKinsey

Here's why it works for independent consultants:

  • No More Upfront Costs: Ditch the large retainers. Inex One lets you access expertise on demand - because managing liquidity isn't easy when you're independent.

  • Priority Service: When you're paying only for completed expert calls, you're a valued client, not an afterthought. Inex One has been ranked the best expert network platform by users every year since 2023.

  • Specialized Expertise: Is your GLG rep a 24-year old fresh graduate, still learning the ropes? On Inex One, you have 20+ specialized expert networks in every market and industry. This lets you access the best experts, fast.

Inex One gives you the tools of the titans, the expertise you need to compete effectively.
