FREE RESOURCE / CLIENT DELIVERY

Client onboarding template pack

Turn a signed agreement into a scope, an owner and a first workflow the client can test.

Free and ungated. No email required.

Agree the setup before testing.

Start with one agreed client outcome. Use the worksheet to record decisions and the editable pack to run your kickoff. Keep passwords and real customer records out of these files.

Run a focused kickoff

  1. Confirm the first client outcome and the included scope.
  2. Walk the current enquiry-to-handoff path with a sample lead.
  3. Assign the approver, builder and operating owner.
  4. Check account access and outstanding assets.
  5. Agree the controlled test and acceptance evidence.
  6. Close with owners, due dates and the next review.

Ask questions that change the setup

Where do enquiries arrive? Who owns a reply? Which calendar and timezone apply? What should stop an automated follow-up? What happens outside working hours? Which result will the client approve?

The downloadable template includes an access-status table, owner matrix, kickoff notes and acceptance record. Adapt it to the service you actually deliver.

Record the behavior you observed.

All scenarios untested

TEST 01

Agree the first delivery

Read the proposed first workflow with the client, including exclusions.

Expected outcome

The client can describe the first outcome and distinguish included work from later requests.

TEST 02

Confirm access without collecting passwords

Check approved invitations and the asset owner for every required account.

Expected outcome

The builder has the access needed for this scope, with an owner for anything still blocked.

TEST 03

Assign the next step and fallback

Walk a sample enquiry through ownership, booking and an unanswered-message case.

Expected outcome

Each handoff has a named role, communication window and visible exception path.

TEST 04

Observe a controlled end-to-end test

Submit a sample enquiry and inspect the contact, owner, message, calendar and pipeline result.

Expected outcome

Observed behavior matches the written acceptance criteria; evidence is retained.

TEST 05

Get the agreed release decision

Review outstanding fixes and the approved communication rules with the client.

Expected outcome

The approver accepts the tested scope or records specific fixes before release.

TEST 06

Leave an operating handover

Show the team how to monitor the workflow, handle exceptions and request a change.

Expected outcome

The operating owner knows what to check, how to pause a problem and whom to contact.
