Answers
I check Clarity answers every day looking for good questions to answer. I find that many people don't write questions that allow me to truly help them because their questions lack detail and lack context of their particular situation so I can only provide generalizable advice or answers. My advice to everyone is provide as much detail as you can and write a question that solicits a very specific answer. I will answer those questions every single time.
Its a great feature, adds value and provides a platform for all us experts to show off our expertise :)
I love it -- I always learn when I read through the questions, and I find a good number I'm able to help answer, too. There aren't many help resources similar to this around the web.
Yes, I do. When I have a question where I seek generic advice (welcome from many experts since the questions is more generic with no specific use case), I posted it on Clarity questions. When I find an expert whom I can trust for right and accurate directions, I can go for the call.
If you have specific questions that you can discuss with an expert (say over a coffee or a pizza), seek advise from a expert by calling. Else, post it in Clarity QA
I try to use it but the questions are limited in quantity and quality and seldom allow for depth
We all are, but whether it works or not is dependent on the problem-solving skills. Problems involve setting out to achieve some objective or desired situation and can include avoiding a situation or event. If there were no barriers in the way of achieving a goal, then there would be no problem. Problem solving involves overcoming the barriers or obstacles that prevent the immediate achievement of goals. Our problem-solving pages provide a simple and structured approach to problem solving. The approach referred to is generally designed for problem solving in an organisation or group context but can also be easily adapted to work at an individual level at home or in education.

What are some of the Clarity.fm categories that are short on experts offering calls?
Given the other discussion about lack of females showing up as experts, perhaps a Ladies Only category might be of interest to some. Throwing it out there #itsachickthingKF

I have just joined Clarity as an expert and I'm interested to know how others are promoting themselves on the platform.
What a great question / thanks for asking. Here's how some of the top experts are getting more calls. 1. Link Clarity on Social Profiles ( http://clarity.fm/me <- click to get your link) - Obvious: Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook - Others: Email Signature, Blog Widget https://clarity.fm/account/widget Pro Tip: Schedule Tweets, Facebook Post or LinkedIn Message every week promoting your URL (I use www.bufferapp.com to do this) 2. Engage On Clarity - Use your VIP link to offer free calls to build your reputation & ratings (+ Reviews) https://clarity.fm/account/vip-link - Answer questions on Clarity (5% of question end up in a call request) https://clarity.fm/questions/f/status=open - Promote your Clarity profile link (Views = Quality) / View above - Ensure (if you have the skills) you set your Areas of Expertise and use Keywords that people search for .. essentially anything that helps them make money (Fundraising, Marketing, Sales, Biz Dev, Legal, etc) 3. Engage Outside of Clarity - Quora: Many of our experts have migrated their questions from Quora to Clarity Answers (Copy/Paste & Answer). It's a hack, but legal and fair. These answers show up on their profile so it help build credibility. - Quora #2: Answer questions on Quora, and at the end of your answer, link your Clarity profile URL - LinkedIn: Engage in Q&A within groups and add your Clarity profile URL at the end of your post. - Guest Post (Other People Blogs) and at the end of the post, write "If you'd like to discuss further, call me on Clarity" - About.me - Add your Clarity URL - Forums: Depending on your expertise, you can find Forums to help others (answer questions) but always end with your Clarity profile URL I'm assuming you seeing a trend... The more calls you do on Clarity + Ratings you get + Answers that get voted high quality (for a Topic) the higher you'll rank within our search. That being said, 70% of my calls come from me promoting my Clarity link and I'm personally making $3-4K per month right now (and that doesn't include any #3 tactics (Yet! :).DM

How do you convince your customers to pay for your consultation time on clarity?
The way I see things, a pay-per-minute phone consultation ought to involve no sales pitch whatsoever. Nobody wants to pay for that, and nobody should. Consulting and sales are utterly different roles. Mutually exclusive, in fact. Is your value proposition external to the call or internal? A consulting call ought to be self-contained. By the time a client hangs up, they ought to be in a better position than where they started – with no further obligation to pay us. So ask yourself what the purpose of the phone call is. If your goal is to sell a product or service – a useful WordPress plugin in this case – then the call is a sales presentation not a consultation, and it ought to be free. The hard truth of sales is that a large percentage of prospects (the majority, usually) won't buy, even after a 30-minute presentation about the virtues of your offering. Time spent talking to dead ends must be factored in to your price and recouped by successful sales. Adding that cost as a fee for the sales pitch itself won't work out well. This is sometimes a tough distinction to make. In my own case, I offer a number of services (e.g. brand name creation) that go beyond the scope of a 15-minute phone call. When someone is paying me $5 per minute, I don't want to squander their time and money by explaining some other paid service! So the rule I've set myself is to stick to problems I can solve on the phone. When it's appropriate to explain the broader services that I offer, I try to do so in a non-paying context. Mainly through email. There's nothing wrong with using a free Clarity.fm call for a sales pitch. But it does sound like you're using phone calls in order to pitch a purchase; so charging for such calls would probably backfire.JP

My company was successful for many years but has been losing business the last 4 years. Where do I find someone that can help me get back on track?
Half the people on Clarity, including myself, can do that. The real question is: who understands your business and your marketplace? What level are you at? How many employees do you have, what gross revenue target do you have, is your marketplace expanding or contracting? The usual thing, though, is lack of focus on revenue-generating activities. I'll give you that one as professional courtesy. People do everything they can to appear "busy" in order to avoid selling. Are you and your people focused on getting and closing orders? I'll bet if I surveyed what they're doing, a lot of their time is eaten up with grunt work that makes them look busy but doesn't lead to sales and money in the door. After that, I'd look into positioning.JK
