How The Annual Support Works
We've designed a streamlined process to provide maximum value and efficiency:
Step 1: Reserve Your Time
Upon subscribing, we'll work with you to establish a fixed 1-hour online meeting slot reserved exclusively for your team each week (e.g., every Wednesday 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM AEST/AEDT). This becomes your guaranteed access window.
Step 2: Submit Your Weekly Questions
Each Monday, we'll send a prompt to your designated team contacts. Simply reply by End of Day Tuesday (or your agreed deadline) with any packaging compliance questions, material queries, labelling reviews, or related topics your team needs expert input on.
Step 3: Receive Your Agenda
We review the submitted questions beforehand. Before your scheduled session, we'll send back a mini-agenda allocating specific time slots within your reserved hour for each topic or team member, ensuring an organised and efficient meeting.
Step 4: Focused Expert Session
Team members join the recurring online meeting (via Teams) at their allocated time slot. They get direct access to expert Q&A, practical guidance, and clear answers focused on AU/NZ requirements.
Step 5: Consistent Weekly Support
This cycle repeats weekly, providing your team with reliable, ongoing support and ensuring packaging challenges are addressed promptly and proactively.
