How the Consulting Process Works
Step 1 – Initial Consultation
The first consultation allows us to discuss:
- Your goals
- Your current situation
- Challenges you are facing
- Whether I am the right person to help you
Prior to the meeting, I may send you a short questionnaire to help streamline the process.
Initial Consultation Fee: $250 AUD
This consultation may be conducted by phone, video call or, where appropriate, in person.
Step 2 – Project Assessment & Recommendations
Following the consultation, I may prepare recommendations, training outlines, system designs, development plans or other documentation specific to your project.
The scope and cost of this work varies depending on the complexity of the project and will be discussed before proceeding.
Step 3 – Training & Ongoing Support
Once a plan has been developed, training and consulting can be delivered in a format that best suits your needs.
This may include:
- Site visits
- Hands-on system setup
- Staff training
- Online mentoring
- Phone consultations
- Written reports and recommendations
Fees for ongoing work are quoted individually based on project requirements.
Before You Contact Me
I encourage everyone to spend some time exploring the free information available on this website.
You will find a large collection of articles, guides and resources covering worm farming, composting, black soldier fly larvae and soil health.
The more background knowledge you have before our first consultation, the more productive our time together can be.
