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.

I do not have much experience in that industry, but generally speaking, I have worked with a ton of premium/high end service providers. The biggest realisation usually is that even though your service is specialised, there´ll still be tons of competition, and the biggest pain point is differentiation. Moreover, you are looking at two very different target audiences: B2B (architectural firms, builders, etc.), and B2C (homeowners). The marketing and sales strategy for both audiences will be wildly different. I would recommend you start with these simple points first:

1. Pick ONE audience to start, not multiple. This audience is usually the one you´ve had most experience with over your 20 years career.
2. Start with paid 1:1 consulting, not a productised package. Easier for you to sell and easier for the clients to understand.
3. Define the problem you solve, not the skill you have. "20 years of carpentry experience" is a credential, not an offer. Your clients don't buy experience, they buy a solved problem
4. Price on the outcome, not the hour. Eg. If your advice saves a homeowner $15,000 on a botched renovation, a $500 consultation is a bargain.
