Customer onboarding

Get every new customer to value in their first weeks

Turn a signed deal into a guided start: a plan, a checklist and help at the moments customers usually get stuck.

A small coffee roaster's free Smart CRM: 640 contacts, 12 open deals and a getting-started checklist, beside a Customer Agent answer about wholesale orders.

The onboarding playbook

Four steps from signature to first success

A shared plan that sales, onboarding and the customer can all see.

  1. Hand over without losing context

    Sales notes and goals carry over to onboarding. Kickoff tasks created on their own.

  2. Share a clear plan

    A checklist in the customer portal. Owners and dates for every step.

  3. Guide with timely messages

    Emails triggered by what each customer has done. Help articles at the right step.

  4. Measure time to value

    See which customers are on track. Spot the steps where people stall.

The Customer Agent's knowledge sources: help center articles, read-only order status and the returns policy, and the topics it never answers.

What changes

A better first month, a longer relationship

A six-week rollout plan, one team at a time: users invited and active each week, three of five teams live, with a Book a planning call button.

What your service team notices

Customers who reach their first result quickly stay longer. A shared plan and timely help make that first result likely, not lucky.

Your onboarding team sees every new customer’s progress on one board and spends time where it’s needed.
