Do you have an onboarding process for your clients? Do you want your clients to feel important and welcomed when they start working for you?

In this short but impactful episode, Kari shares what it looks like to properly onboard your clients. It’s not over when your client signs the contract and pays the retainer fee, it’s just the beginning.

She also walks you through every phase of her onboarding process from the first inquiry to starting the client work.

Creating an onboarding process for your clients will help your client manage expectations, reduce scope creep, and most importantly make your client feel like they matter.

If you don’t have an onboarding process for your clients, then tune into this episode to learn how to create one so your clients feel loved.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Learn how to make your client feel important 
• Understand what scope creep is and how to avoid it
