1. On the application form, choose “Engaging with the digital world” as your top priority – it’s best to choose it as your only priority (don’t feel like you have to rank all provided options, as if you do, there is a chance that we won’t be provided as an option for you, as we only provide “Digital” services, not all the other options).
2. Once you are approved (this can take up to a week) you will then be sent via email a list of businesses (including Impactiv8) to choose from. If Impactiv8 is not on the list (which may be the case if you don’t select “Engaging with the digital world” as your top priority in the questionnaire), you can email VCCI and request us specifically, saying you were referred to the program by Impactiv8 and hoping to be able to work with us. 
3. If you choose Impactiv8 we will be notified (this usually takes a couple of days) and then we have 2 business days to accept your application.
4. Once we accept your application, VCCI then sends us your contact details (this usually takes a couple of days).  
5. Once we receive your contact details, one of the Impactiv8 team members will contact you to book in your first 2hr session. VCCI recommends that you try to book in your first session within 5 business days, if possible. Provided you have not previously used any hours with another supplier, you will then have access to 4x2hr sessions with one of our team members. 

The whole process from applying to participating in your first session usually takes at least two weeks, but can take longer if you don’t respond to any correspondence as soon as possible after you receive it. We don’t manage the initial application process, we are only notified once you are assigned to us.

You can apply for 8 hours of mentoring, which is delivered in 4 x 2 hour sessions. If you have engaged another business to deliver part of the time, and Impactiv8 for subsequent sessions, we will deliver the remainder of the time you have left. 

During the first session we will go through an audit of your current digital marketing activities and develop an Action Plan for you. This information will then be used to allocate the most appropriate mentor(s) based on your requirements and will be used to inform what we focus on throughout the remainder of your mentoring sessions.

After each of your subsequent sessions, your mentor will complete an ‘Action Plan’ report that will be sent to VCCI. VICCI will provide you with a copy of this. If not already booked in during your previous session, you will receive a separate email with a booking link for you to book in for your next session. You will have up to 3 months to complete all four sessions, but our recommendation is that you aim for 4-6 weeks to complete the sessions for greater momentum.
