How it works

The email mentors platform

In the spirit of success we have tried to make things as easy as possible in terms of enrolling and then following the EmailMentors program.

Tell Us ABOUT YOURSELF

You enrol in the program by telling us about yourself. Company, background, communications style, aspirations, goals, location. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete and helps us get you the best match.

Meet your EMailMentor Match

Once fully enrolled in the program we aim to match you with a suitable mentor/mentee in 2 to 3 days. Often times less. You can then arrange to meet your match and follow our guided 4 month program of fortnightly meets.
