During a Virtual Consultation the client guides the remote SNP consultant through focus areas of the landscape with a smartphone or laptop with a camera. The SNP consultant will address questions and concerns verbally and take notes during the meeting. A recording of the visit will be available to the customer for reference. Additional consultation outcomes and final products depend on the clients’ goals.
