Prompt of the Week 🧠
Customer Onboarding → Get new customers to their first real win before they go quiet.
Prompt:
You are a customer onboarding strategist for a [type of business] that sells [product or service] to [customer type] at [price point]. Here is what happens today after someone buys: [Paste your current onboarding steps: emails, calls, setup tasks, docs, whatever exists. If nothing is documented, describe it from memory.] Here is what a successful customer looks like at day 90: [Describe the outcome, usage pattern, or result that tells you this customer will stay.] Work through the following: 1. First value moment. Name the single smallest action that makes a new customer feel the product or service worked. Make it specific and observable, not "they see value." 2. Gap audit. Walk my current onboarding step by step and label each one: moves them toward first value, neutral, or friction. For every friction step, tell me what it costs me in time or drop-off risk. 3. The 14 day plan. Rebuild onboarding as a day by day sequence from purchase to first value moment. For each touchpoint give me: the day, the channel, who sends it, the goal of that touch, and the exact message or call agenda in plain language I can copy. 4. Silence triggers. List the 4 warning signs that a new customer is going dark, the day I should catch each one, and the exact recovery message to send. 5. What to cut. Name anything in my current process I should delete, and explain why keeping it costs more than it returns. 6. One metric. Give me one number to track weekly that tells me this is working, how to calculate it, and what a bad week looks like. Ask me up to 3 clarifying questions before you start if anything above is unclear.
Where to use it: Built for founders, agency owners and ops leads at any business where customers pay first and get set up second, so SaaS, services, coaching, done-for-you work or subscriptions. Run it when signups look healthy but retention does not, or right before you hand onboarding to a new hire.
