Why Do You Need a Client Onboarding Checklist?
Whether yours is a marketing, financial or management consultancy business, every business needs loyal clients to sustain itself. A good client onboarding process can help you foster productive relationships with your clients, right from the start.
A client onboarding checklist can help you manage the client onboarding process smoothly, by ensuring that all information that you require to bring a new client up to speed is always at your fingertips.
What to Consider When Creating a Client Onboarding Checklist?
Make sure that your client onboarding process’ steps contain actionable information under the following categories.
Contract - Project/sales proposal (the solution that you are offering the client), legal documents are required to be signed such as an NDA and the initial payment that the client is required to make.
Questionnaire - The purpose of this document is to collect information about the client in order to get a better understanding of their pain points. This can also include their goals and the issues they are facing, which your product/service can solve.
Launch Project - At this phase, you need to assign the client to dedicated sales and customer service representatives. Thereafter the client can be educated on the workflow process.
Client Kickoff Meeting - Hold a kickoff meeting to introduce the client to your team. At this juncture, you can educate the rest of your team on the client’s business goals and let the client know the timeline for key deliverables.
Welcome Package - The client should be given a welcome package at the kickoff meeting. The welcome passage should include information on your business, any information regarding the project that could be useful to the client, case studies of similar past projects and a welcome video that can bring the client up to speed.
Checkup - Once the client onboarding process is completed, make sure to check up on the client after the first 30 days to ensure that everything is running as planned
