From Prospect to Partner: Onboarding for immediate value, long-term success

You won the sale, and now it’s time to show your new customer that you can deliver on your promises. Onboarding is a simple word for a complex process that can mean the difference between a positive long-term partnership and a new customer lost forever. Many companies focus solely on the technology onboarding tasks but overlook the personal touch and the need for clear guidance for each customer—a process documented internally for repeatable success. In this session, we will discuss:

  • Technology: Checklist for success
  • Your Team: Introductions aren’t enough
  • Sharing the Love: Culture
  • Communications from Day 1
  • Nurture the partnership
  • Our Hard-Learned 99 Steps for Success
