# New customer onboarding

Guide each new customer through the first weeks with timely, relevant steps based on what they bought and what they have done so far, and alert a person when someone gets stuck.

[Talk through this workflow](https://lidvizion.ai/contact/?need=ai-workflow&from=%2Fuse-cases%2Fnew-customer-onboarding%2F#write) · [Automate the repeatable](https://lidvizion.ai/services/automation/)

Where it starts

## The trigger.

A new customer signs up, pays or signs a contract.

How it runs today

- Every customer gets the same generic welcome email, or none at all.
- The team finds out a customer is stuck when they cancel or complain.
- Onboarding depends on which team member happens to own the account.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Plan
   Define the first-weeks journey for each product or service: steps, timing and success signs.
2. 02 / Send
   Send the next useful step at the right time, based on what the customer has and has not done.
3. 03 / Watch
   Notice when a customer stalls or asks for help, and summarize where they are.
4. 04 / Hand off
   Alert the account owner with the summary so a person can reach out.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- Messages come from approved templates the team has reviewed.
- Stuck or unhappy customers always reach a person, not another automated email.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Share of new customers who reach the first success milestone.

### Time to first success, before and after.

### Support requests in the first month.
