I am looking for a mentor that can guide me on B2B sales/marketing to local small service based businesses doing $1 to $5 million per year in revenue.
However even with the search feature there ar so many experts claiming they know how to market and sell, it is hard to find the perfect expert for me.
Do any of you know of an AI tool I should use in order to find the perfect mentor?
Or does clarify.fm offer to set you up with a mentor for free or a fee?
Or do any of you recommend scraping the site and then using an AI to find experts that might fit your criteria?
Or are there any other methods people have found to find the best expert more easily?
Or do I really just have to go through the entire list of experts 1 by 1?
Sometimes the best mentor is not found through a bot but through experience and connection.
If you are looking for a mentor, focus on someone who understands the pressure you are under and can help you think clearly in difficult situations.
Often what people really need is not just advice, but a conversation that helps them see their situation from a new perspective.
There are many platforms that could help but at the end of the day, having conversations with people and finding how they can best suit you would be better. There can always be hidden treasures around. It seems with the money side, you need someone who can be cool, calm and collected, so finding someone that makes you feel like that when problems arise and big stakes are on the line is worth more than someone who is just good with numbers.
Good luck in your search
Clarity bios are not full CVs. They perhaps capture 30% of what the person can do. Even a full CV, which is 2-10 pages longer than a resume, doesn't say much about the person.
Are they warm? Are they funny? Can they think on their feet? Do they have wisdom? Do they have unique insight?
These can only be determined by talking to the person.
Yes I know of an AI Bot that can do that, and I am also a mentor if you're interested in looking for one.
I assure you business success and sales through my Mentorship
That’s a great question, and honestly you’re not the only one struggling with this. I work a lot with entrepreneurs and business owners looking for the right expertise rather than just “another marketing expert,” so I completely understand the challenge of filtering through hundreds of profiles.
First, regarding Clarity.fm, it’s essentially a marketplace where you can book short consulting calls with experts and pay their per-minute rate after the call.
It’s not really designed to match you with a long-term mentor automatically. Instead, you search for experts yourself, book calls, and then decide if you want to continue working with them.
So unfortunately, Clarity doesn’t really “set you up” with a mentor in the way a curated program would.
About using AI to find the right mentor
There are some AI-powered mentoring tools emerging that improve matching by analyzing skills, experience, and goals to pair mentors and mentees more accurately.
Platforms like MentorcliQ, MentorCloud, or Guider use algorithms to match people based on criteria such as expertise, goals, and learning preferences.
However, these tools are typically designed for corporate mentorship programs, not for individuals searching the open internet for a mentor.
The method I would personally recommend
Instead of scraping a directory or reviewing hundreds of profiles one by one, I’d use a 3-step filtering approach:
1. Define very specific criteria first
For example:
B2B sales to local service businesses
Companies doing $1–5M revenue
Experience selling to SMB owners (HVAC, dental, legal, etc.)
Proven client case studies
This alone eliminates 80–90% of “generic marketing experts.”
2. Use AI as a research assistant, not a matching tool
You could absolutely scrape a directory like Clarity or LinkedIn and then use AI to analyze the profiles and rank them based on your criteria (keywords, industries served, outcomes, etc.).
AI is very good at pattern filtering, which saves hours of manual searching.
3. Short “test calls” with 3–5 candidates
Instead of trying to find the perfect mentor immediately, book short exploratory calls with a few specialists. You’ll learn more in three 20-minute calls than from reading 200 profiles.
One more alternative most people overlook
Look for operators instead of “mentors.”
People who have actually:
Run B2B agencies
Sold to local SMBs
Built outbound sales systems
Those people often give far more practical advice than general “marketing coaches.”

Dear VINCENT ONWUMERE ,
Greetings of the Day ,
AI Can Help You Narrow Down Your List of Experts, But the Success of Your B2B Sales Depends on The Product, The Business Model, And the Economy in the City, State, Or Country Where You Live. or Where your Business is Running and established . When I Look at A Business, I Usually Focus on Five Main Things:
1. Product/Service Fit: Demand, Uniqueness, And Price.
2. Target Market: The Kinds Of Businesses, Their Size ($1–$5M), And The Demand In Your Area.
3. Competition—How Competitors Are Selling and Where They Are.
4. The Sales Process, Including How You Reach Out to B2B Customers, What Marketing Channels You Use, And How You Plan to Convert Them.
5. Local Economic Conditions: The Growth of the Industry, The Spending Power of The People, And the Business Climate in That Area.
I Use This Information To Help You Choose The Best Sales Strategy And Give You Advice. If It Would Help, We Can Talk About This Briefly On Clarity.Fm And Figure Out What Would Work Best For You.
REGARDS,
BALAJI JOSHIT – BUSINESS CONSULTANT & ASTROLOGER

I can save you the AI search - happy to help directly.
I've spent over 6 years in B2B sales and marketing across multiple industries, working full-funnel from lead generation and pipeline building through to deal closing and client retention. My focus has always been on businesses selling to other businesses, which is an important distinction for what you're looking for.
One thing to watch out for in your search: B2B sales and marketing is fundamentally different from B2C. The buying cycles are longer, the decision-makers are harder to reach, the deals involve multiple stakeholders, and the strategies that work (eg. ABM), whether inbound or outbound, have almost nothing in common with consumer marketing. A lot of experts on platforms like Clarity come from B2C or digital marketing backgrounds and apply that lens to B2B. That won't work for selling to local service businesses doing $1M–$5M. You need someone who understands how those businesses actually buy and how to build highly customised outreach programs for each ICP.
To answer your practical questions:
Clarity doesn't offer matching or AI search. But you don't need to go through every profile. Filter using these three signals:
1. B2B-specific experience. Check whether their background is actually in B2B sales, not B2C or general marketing. The strategies are different enough that the wrong advice will cost you time and money.
2. Full-funnel experience. You want someone who has built pipeline, qualified leads, run sales cycles, and closed deals, not just someone who advises on one piece of the funnel.
3. Reviews from business owners. Read their reviews. Are callers founders and business owners with problems like yours, or random profiles asking unrelated questions?
If you're looking for someone who can help you build a repeatable B2B sales process for reaching local service businesses — from first outreach through close — I'd be happy to jump on a call and map that out with you.
