The Onboarding Pack

“They said yes. How do I start clean?”

How to run the week after they say yes — and the scripts that turn a new client into a serious one before the project even starts.

The problem

They said yes. Now what? Send the contract? Ask for the deposit before or after kickoff? What if it's awkward? You've drafted three welcome emails and sent none. Two days have passed. The client's already wondering if they made the right call.

The fix

Between “yes” and the first deliverable, precedents get set — response times, payment expectations, who drives the project. Improvise it and the client drives; run the sequence and you do. Five scripts calibrated to where you are in that week, from “you just said yes, here's what happens next” to “we're a week in and you've gone quiet.”
