Analyst Connect
Earn For Helping Others Learn
When companies ask you to share what you know for free - for the “privilege” of gaining exposure to an audience – they’re devaluing your knowledge. Your expertise and insights have value, and we’re here to help you make a decent return on it.
As an optional add-on service for your ThinkCEO Portfolio, our Analyst Connect service is your tool for providing advice directly to our Members. The system is simple, intuitive, and enables you to sell your knowledge to a global audience of business leaders.
Here’s how we connect you with ThinkCEO Members:
- 1Set up your FREE ThinkCEO version of Microsoft Office Essentials.
- 2Assign availability in Outlook Calendar for taking 30-min. virtual member calls.*
- 3Receive requests via your ThinkCEO.com email to discuss your content.**
- 4Accept or decline the offer – you are under no obligation to accept calls.
- 5Attend the call, provide value, and mark the call as “Completed” in our system.
- 6Direct deposit payments are made within 10 business days of completing calls.
- 7Continue to take calls! Your published content has a shelf-life of two years!
Accepting, declining, and rescheduling calls, as well as auto-invoicing us for direct
deposit payments is all managed within our “simple click” Analyst Connect system.
What to do next? We suggest you publish more content!
- The more content you create the more interest you’ll likely generate.
- After publishing your 2nd piece of written content, you can publish video content.
- More content = higher Portfolio Tiers, which increases the $ amount of offers!***
*To maximize opportunities, we recommend Analysts assign at least 2-hours of availability/week between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM ET (Monday – Friday). However, the availability hours and times are completely up to the Analyst.
**Offering availability does not guarantee Member requests will fill Analyst’s open timeslots.
*** Portfolio Tiers reflect the Analyst’s number of published content pieces on the site at any given time. See below.
Portfolio & Analyst Connect services FAQs
Can I just use Portfolio to gain exposure to ThinkCEO Members?
Yes! Whatever your reason, you may elect to just signup for the Portfolio service. Be assured that the presentation and priority of your content’s exposure to our Members will not be negatively affected by this.
Can I sign up for the Analyst Connect program later?
We understand that not everyone learns best by reading reports. This is why we offer content in various types of formats including analyst reports, data assessments, webinars, leadership roundtables, guidance videos, podcasts/vodcasts, quick-takes, news overviews, and vendor profiles.
Within these, we cover a broad range of business topics including leadership, technologies, marketing, operations, commerce, strategic planning, digital transformation, analytics/reporting, people management, outsourcing, vendor solutions, process improvements, and business security.
Do I get a free ThinkCEO licensed version of Microsoft Office Essentials with Analyst Connect?
Yes! We encourage it!
If our Analyst experts had to put everything they knew into written words, each report would be hundreds of pages long. This is why we enable Members to schedule calls with Analysts – to ask questions and get advice specific to the Member’s business strategy.
During Membership sign-up, you choose one of the many Call Packages we offer. Each one varies in cost and quantity, so you only pay for what you expect you’ll need.
What are Portfolio Tiers and how do they impact Analyst Connect offers from ThinkCEO Members?
When you see our affordable pricing, you may think there must be something you’re missing. Maybe the analysts are not as good, the research is not the same quality, or the hidden fees come later.
The simple reality is that we run an operationally cost-effective company. We also rely on advertising and sponsorships to support our business. Both of these truths enable us to keep membership prices low as we pass all of these cost savings on to you.
There’s no secret sauce – just a business model that puts client profitability first.
What can I expect to make as a ThinkCEO Analyst?
No! There are no hidden costs. Access to all online content and virtual analyst calls are included in the one-time Membership cost.
Members that wish to hire an Analyst for an in-person event (delivering a speech, leading an on-site advisory, teaching in-person workshops, etc.) can purchase these services separately though our Advisory Program. However, not every Analyst takes part in this program. Please see the analyst’s profile for more information.
ThinkCEO does have its own in-person events and conferences. Smaller events – such as invite-only local Member dinners – are often free. Tickets to larger ThinkCEO events and conferences are offered to Members, but at significantly discounted rates.
Why do you charge a fee for Portfolio and Analyst Connect services?
No! It’s for anyone that wants to “think” like a CEO.
What does that mean? It means understanding more than just a narrow part of operating a business. It means being able to think critically and strategically about opportunities and challenges. It means using research, data, and insights to support critical business decisions. And it means being able to be an effective leader - to motivate, inspire, and manage people effectively for achieving business success.
