How are mentoring sessions conducted?

All mentoring sessions take place online for your convenience and safety. We use a secure video/audio conferencing system built directly into our platform, so there's no need to download any additional software.

Having trouble booking a session?

This could be because you or the Exper haven't synced your Zoom accounts with our platform. Since we use Zoom for audio/video calls, both the Expert and Entrepreneur need to connect their Zoom accounts before booking a session.

Here's how to fix it:
  • Sync your Zoom account: Look for instructions on your logged-in dashboard on how to connect your Zoom account.
 
Still, having issues?

If you've both synced your Zoom accounts and are still facing difficulties booking a session, please contact us at support@smesouthafrica.co.za.
