Hear From Some of Our WSI Consultants & Agencies

We’ve boasted about our powerful network of people who helped shape the WSI brand into what it is today and where it’s going tomorrow. And here are a few of them talking about what WSI means to them, why it’s special, and the value they get since joining our powerful digital marketing and AI consulting network.

“What I really like about the WSI model is that you can find your way. You can define your way and then scale it. That's actually the road to a million—find your way, find the customers, and leverage the experience that you earn."

Andreas Mueller-Schubert - WSI Franchisee

“As much as I had a lot of business experience, I didn't have any experience running a business. I understood PNLs from a corporate standpoint but that's a lot different than being a business owner. It really feels like WSI was a good balance between helping fuel the entrepreneurial spirit and the business background that I had."

Alison Lindemann - WSI Franchisee

“The reason we chose WSI is that we had a good comfort level with the support from Home Office. The training that we knew that we would get, and the support of the network were a huge part of it. Knowing that we had a lot of places, a lot of touch points to go out. And that was really something that sold us on the franchise."

Gunnar Hood - WSI Franchisee

Below are answers to common questions about how the WSI network operates — and why it remains one of the most valuable advantages of joining WSI.

What makes WSI’s global consulting network so powerful?

WSI’s network connects digital and AI strategy consultants across multiple continents in a collaborative ecosystem unlike anything an independent consultant could build on their own. Instead of operating in isolation, WSI consultants and agencies benefit from:

Shared strategic frameworks
Collective expertise across markets and industries
Collaborative problem-solving
A brand with nearly 30 years of digital leadership
A business model designed for scale

This combination of global reach and local insight enables our consultants to deliver exceptional value — from SMBs to mid-market and enterprise organizations.

How does being part of a global network benefit individual consultants?

Being part of WSI’s global network gives our consultants and agencies a strategic advantage through:

Peer mentorship
Specialized expertise within the network
Case studies and real-world best practices
Support navigating complex or enterprise-level opportunities
Expanded capacity for delivery without hiring full-time staff

This collaborative intelligence helps consultants win larger, more strategic engagements and confidently deliver transformation-focused advisory work.

Do WSI consultants and agencies collaborate on client projects?

Yes — collaboration is one of WSI’s most defining strengths. WSI consultants and agencies will partner on engagements that require:

Deeper technical or analytical capability
AI expertise
Vertical-specific knowledge
Capacity to handle multi-location, multi-market, or enterprise clients

This means you can:

Pursue opportunities beyond your individual bandwidth
Compete with larger consulting firms
Deliver end-to-end solutions through the WSI ecosystem

The network gives you the advantages of scale, without the overhead of building an agency or consulting firm from scratch.

How does the WSI network help consultants stay ahead of the curve, especially with AI?

WSI keeps consultants ahead of digital and AI transformation through a combination of system-led innovation and global peer collaboration.

The WSI System: WSI provides proprietary digital and AI frameworks, continuous R&D updates, structured training, and market intelligence — ensuring every consultant has the tools and methodologies needed to lead modern advisory engagements.
The Global Network: Consultants enhance this foundation by sharing real-world insights, industry trends, and best practices across markets, creating a continuous flow of practical, applicable knowledge.

Together, the WSI system and global community form an integrated ecosystem that helps consultants stay competitive, current, and positioned as trusted strategic advisors.

Is the WSI truly international?

Yes. WSI operates across multiple continents, giving consultants and agencies:

Access to knowledge from diverse markets
Global best practices
International credibility in client conversations
A brand recognized for its scale, longevity, and expertise

You can operate your business digitally from wherever you choose, while still benefiting from the reach and authority of a global consulting organization.

What kind of community does the network provide?

The WSI network is known for its collaborative and supportive culture. Consultants and agencies connect regularly through conferences, workshops, peer groups, and online communities where they share best practices and offer guidance.

Many within the WSI network describe it as a business family—where members not only collaborate on projects but also encourage each other to grow. The culture is supportive and professional — built on shared success, not competition.

What support is available for consultants newer to digital or AI strategy?

WSI is intentionally designed to help experienced professionals—from backgrounds like business leadership, consulting, sales, marketing, and operations—transition confidently into digital and AI advisory roles. New consultants are supported through WSI’s proprietary consulting frameworks, a vetted supplier ecosystem, practical delivery tools, and the ability to collaborate with and learn from seasoned peers across the network. This combination of structured enablement and real-world mentorship allows consultants to deliver value from day one while continuing to deepen their digital, strategic, and AI expertise as their practice grows.

What role does the network play in WSI’s long-term success?

The network is the foundation of WSI’s strength. By combining independent consulting businesses with global-scale collaboration, WSI has remained a leader in digital advisory for nearly 30 years — and is now at the forefront of AI-driven transformation.

For you, this means joining a brand where long-term success is a collective effort. The network drives innovation, strengthens credibility, and ensures that every member benefits from shared knowledge and global brand recognition—key reasons why many consultants and agencies stay with WSI for the long run.

How do consultants and agencies share knowledge and best practices within the network?

Members of the WSI network exchange knowledge and best practices through a combination of structured learning and real-world collaboration. WSI hosts global conferences, regional workshops, expert-led webinars, and active online communities where consultants and agencies share strategies, frameworks, case studies, and lessons learned. These touchpoints often spotlight practical examples of digital and AI innovation that consultants can directly apply within their own client engagements.

This collaborative culture—supported by WSI’s systems, resources, and leadership—allows new consultants to shorten their learning curve while experienced members continue to refine and evolve their practices. The result is a network where knowledge flows freely and every consultant benefits from a collective competitive advantage.

What kinds of businesses do WSI consultants and agencies typically work with?

WSI consultants work with a range of organizations, including:

Small and midsize businesses seeking sustainable growth
Professional services firms
Healthcare, finance, and industrial sectors
Multi-location businesses and franchise brands
Growth-stage companies navigating AI adoption
Mid-market and enterprise organizations undergoing digital transformation

Many consultants and agencies begin with SMB and mid-market engagements and evolve into higher-value strategic advisory and AI transformation work as their practice matures.
