Optimal number of Sessions

Once I have completed the number of sessions applied for, am I able to have further sessions with my Mentor?

Yes. We have many clients that still seek the support of their Mentor after the program has finished. Mentors are there to help you for as long as you need their help.
 
How many sessions should I have?

That is up to you. However our experience is that little long term benefit can be obtained in less than 4 sessions. The only exceptions to this is where there is a very specific problem that you want to discuss and that could be done in one session, or a start-up business idea that needs to be run past an experienced business person to determine its possible viability. 
 
Will I have a choice of Mentor?

Yes, you choose a Mentor by their business experience and skills. You will be given the names of those Mentors who best match your choice in the Mentor Directory tab. You can then read about them by clicking on their C.V.’s.
 
How long does it take from when I apply to seeing the Mentor?

Assuming that payment has been made by the credit card option you should get a call from the SBMS Head Office after a few working days and once the confirmation letter is emailed, your Mentor should be in contact with you within a further 3 days. Allow therefore 5 to 6 working days. If paying by Direct Bank Deposit or by Cheque you should allow a further 3 to 4 days.
