# Customer Onboarding — [Customer Name]
<!-- Created: YYYY-MM-DD · Meeting: First Touch -->
## Pre-Meeting Preparation
<!-- Complete these steps before the call starts. -->
- Research the customer's company background, recent product or business updates, and key executive messaging from the last 90 days
- Set up a branded demo workspace with their logo, colors, and sample data from their industry
- Confirm attendee list, roles, and decision-making authority with the champion
- Send calendar invite with video link and agenda
- Check CRM for previous interactions or support tickets
## Agenda (60 Minutes)
### 1. Introductions (5 min)
<!-- Build rapport and set the tone. -->
- Introduce the onboarding team: Customer Success Manager, Solutions Engineer, and Account Executive
- Ask each attendee about their priorities for the session
- Confirm the scheduled time and expected outcomes
### 2. Needs Discovery (15 min)
<!-- Listen more than you talk. -->
- Map their current workflow, tools, and handoff points end to end
- Confirm the top three workflow frictions to address first
- Capture verbatim quotes for internal storytelling
- Validate the problem statement from the sales handoff
### 3. Solution Mapping (15 min)
<!-- Connect features to their specific pain points. -->
- Present the modules that map directly to their top three workflow frictions
- Map their existing CSV, Excel, or JSON formats to our import schema
- Run a sample migration dry-run with anonymized data
- Avoid feature dumping; keep it conversational
- Prepare one relevant case study from their industry
### 4. Implementation Timeline (10 min)
<!-- Set realistic expectations. -->
- Propose a phased rollout with clear milestones: pilot with 3–5 users in weeks 1–2, team rollout in weeks 3–4, org-wide launch in weeks 5–8
- Map internal blockers (budget, legal, IT security) and required approvals (procurement, data protection officer, executive sponsor)
- Flag any custom development or integration needs early
- Prepare a sample project plan to adapt live
### 5. Q&A and Objection Handling (10 min)
<!-- Address concerns directly. -->
- Document technical questions and route them to the Solutions Engineer or product team for a written response within 24 hours
- Clarify security, compliance, and data residency policies: confirm SOC 2 / ISO 27001 coverage, list data centers for each region, explain encryption at rest and in transit, and provide a sample DPA or data processing addendum for review
- Write down objections to refine sales enablement later
- Prepare a one-page security overview document
### 6. Next Steps and Close (5 min)
<!-- Leave with mutual accountability. -->
- Confirm every action item with a named owner and a specific deadline (e.g., "Owner: Alex; Deliverable: integration requirements doc; Due: Thursday 5pm")
- Schedule the technical deep-dive or kickoff meeting
- Ask for feedback on what would make the pilot successful
- Prepare a draft mutual action plan template
## Meeting Notes
<!-- Capture details that do not fit into structured fields. -->
- Champion: [Name · Role · Email]
- Economic buyer: [Name · Role · Influence level]
- Budget status: [Approved / Pending / Unknown]
- Desired go-live: [Target date and hard deadlines]
- Current stack: [Tools they use today and integration points]
- Success criteria: [How they will measure the pilot]
## Follow-Up Checklist
<!-- Complete every item before the next touchpoint. -->
- Send tailored proposal with pricing and scope
- Schedule technical architecture review
- Introduce assigned customer success manager
- Set up sandbox environment with sample data
- Share implementation guide and training schedule
- Add all notes and contacts to CRM opportunity
- Set a reminder to check in after 48 hours
