FAQs
We’ve answered a few FAQs to get you started. Still have questions?
What are the one-on-one meetings?
One-on-one meetings are a great opportunity to connect with a company representative to learn more about our products and answer any questions you might have! Choose from a representative of your choice and schedule a time that works for you to connect. Meeting times are available in 30 minute increments and take place within the platform via video (the logistics and tech are set for you!). If you prefer a phone conversation, please let us know and we can arrange the logistics for you too.
Do I have to be online at a specific time or day?
