Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

The gap between winning a client and starting the work is where most relationships quietly go wrong: confusion, buyer's remorse, scope creep, and slow first payments all trace back to a sloppy onboarding. This course teaches the systems that turn a signed deal into a confident, well-briefed, paid-up client who knows exactly what happens next. Every module ends with a concrete artifact, from a welcome packet and intake form to a kickoff script and a 30-60-90 day check-in cadence, so you finish with a complete, reusable onboarding machine.
