Good questions. Straight answers.

Phello is a membership community built by Kurt Phelps for current and former senior executives at a career crossroads. It combines a personal story website, an executive CRM, guided outreach campaigns, and Ambassador-led peer groups called Circles. Everything serves one goal: landing your next role, board seat, client, or chapter. You get there through networking, leveraging the network you have already built.

Leaders with decades of experience who are navigating a transition: between roles, moving into board or advisory work, starting a practice, or simply deciding what comes next. Most members are seasoned executives across functions and industries. If your next chapter depends on relationships rather than job boards, Phello is built for you.

Neither. Phello does not place candidates or list openings. It teaches and equips you to run your own relationship-driven search, the way the best opportunities actually get found. The process comes from our founder Kurt Phelps, who worked with executives for decades as a recruiter. More than 10,000 people have been taught the Phello process.

It is the central Phello teaching. Instead of cold-applying outward, you start with the people who already know your work, your core, and move outward from there: organize your contacts, reconnect deliberately, and let warm relationships carry your story into the right rooms.

Every membership starts with a full 60-day free trial. It is not a limited demo: you get the real tools and the real community. In your first 60 days your story site goes live, your contacts get organized, your first campaign goes out, and you join your Circles.  See the first 60 days here.

Paid membership starts on day 61, month to month, with no contract. Plans match the intensity of your search: Maintaining at $19.95 per month, Campaigning at $49.95 per month, and All-In at $99.95 per month. You can move between plans as your situation changes. See membership options.

Yes. Membership is month to month with no contract. Many members also scale down to the Maintaining plan after landing, so their website, CRM, and relationships stay warm for the future.

A personal executive site built on narrative, not a resume. It tells the story of who you are, what you have led, and where you are headed, and it becomes the destination everything else points to. It is built from your career story with expert review, and it is yours to share in every conversation.

It is a CRM built for relationships, not sales. You import contacts from LinkedIn, email, and spreadsheets, then organize them into a tiered funnel starting with your top contacts, so decades of relationships finally live in one workable place.

A deliberate wave of personal outreach. Your first campaign goes to your top contacts: a personal note, your story site, and a reason to reconnect. Campaigns are warm reconnections, never cold blasts, and Phello's team reviews your first one before it goes out.

Phello AI is your co-writer. It helps you automate, customize, and edit every campaign, personalizing outreach for each contact in your voice, so a message to fifty people never reads like a blast to fifty people.

Small, Ambassador-led peer groups organized by function and by region. Circles meet online and at in-person regional events. They are where members trade introductions, pressure-test plans, and do the work alongside peers who know exactly where they are. Learn about Circles.

Experienced members who lead Circles and host events. They are executives themselves, and they set the tone of the community: give more than you receive. Meet the Ambassadors.

That is up to you and your season. Some members spend a focused hour a week keeping relationships warm. Members in an active search treat it like the most important project on their calendar. The tools and Circles meet you at either pace.

Yes. The best time to build your network is before you need it. Employed members keep their story site current, their CRM warm, and their Circles active, so that when a crossroads comes, they are not starting from zero.
