Online mentor directory

“BestMentors is actually a website,” Tori explains. “I’ve developed an online mentor directory that brings mentors – so experts in any field – together with people who are seeking mentorship in any area.”

The website allows anybody with skills, knowledge or expertise in any industry to list themselves as a mentor in the directory and find clients. The company then markets BestMentors.com and the Best Mentors Directory to would-be proteges and mentees who are searching for mentors to work with.

The BestMentors directory puts these mentors in front of an audience of ideal clients, who are willing to pay top dollar to be mentored in the field or niche that they are in pursuit of and are interested in.

“I looked at finding a mentor for myself, and it was actually quite an awkward process, because you don’t know who is available to mentor you. You don’t know who the best in the area or industry you’re looking for is. You hope that you’re going to spend money on somebody who is actually good value, someone who is actually an expert in their field.”

This resulted in an arduous process when searching for an appropriate mentor, prompting Tori to wonder if she could simplify the process by bringing together all the best mentors in the world in one place.

“That’s where the idea came about. I suppose from that point onwards it was really reverse engineering from that solution. I worked backwards and figured out what needed to be done, and I started at that place of website development and it just gained momentum from there.”

For mentors, it can be a rewarding experience to train someone up in a particular area of expertise, helping people achieve their goals, widen their impact as individuals, and transferring skills and knowledge gained throughout a career or personal life.

“It’s always easy to learn from someone who’s gone there before. I thought, success is entirely achievable, and it would be easy if somebody would be there to show me the way. I looked at that and I thought, where could I find this person? How do I know they’re good value? How do I know they’ve got the qualifications to teach me and to show me the way?”

Proteges can save a lot of time, money and effort by learning from a mentor. A mentor can encourage you to achieve beyond what you think is possible. They can show you the best and quickest way to achieve your goals, supporting you at every step along the way.

“I think mentoring is so important, because success takes a lot of time, takes a lot of effort, and if you’re working things out by trial and error, you can spend years doing things that could even take weeks or months otherwise.”

In a world where people are keen to preserve time and money by doing things efficiently and effectively, the perfect solution is being to pay people to help with that process. This is the main idea behind BestMentors.com.

Best Mentors covers a wider range of areas than just career building or advancement in professional or business goals. It also serves as a source for finding mentors who can work with people on personal goals. 

There will be mentors on the directory who specifically mentor people in building relationships, dating, interpersonal skills – such as negotiation, rapport building, and conflict resolution – finding a spouse, and many other areas of personal progression.
