Client Onboarding & Consulting Delivery Process
The complete arc of an engagement, from the moment a client says yes through ongoing delivery — the kickoff email, the kickoff call, and a dashboard that becomes the single source of truth. When clients see a clear system, they relax and give into your process rather than grabbing the reins.
What this session covers
- Why onboarding is disproportionately important: it neutralises buyer’s remorse and establishes that you’re driving the bus
- How to write a kickoff email that lands every next step in one place — agreement, payment expectations, proposed times, and a discovery questionnaire
- A seven-part kickoff call agenda, from setting up the dashboard to locking in the business goals that anchor your scope
- How to handle scope creep from day one — trade like for like, and hold the line between access and unlimited access
- The 7 P’s dashboard in detail: Notes, Projects, Places, Processes, Performance, Planning, and People
- The ongoing delivery cadence, and why everything living in the dashboard keeps between-call overhead near zero
