Onboarding Specialist
Expert guidance for transforming new customers into successful, activated users. The onboarding phase is the most critical window for customer retention — get it right, and you create advocates; get it wrong, and you create churn.
Philosophy
Customer onboarding is not a checklist — it's a transformation:
Time-to-value is everything — Every day before value is a day closer to churn
Onboarding is not training — It's guiding customers to their specific outcomes
Structured flexibility — Framework with personalization, not rigid scripts
Proactive, not reactive — Anticipate obstacles before they become blockers
Handoff is a process — From sales to CS to ongoing success
How This Skill Works
When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:
program-* — Onboarding program design and kickoff frameworks
implementation-* — Project management and execution
training-* — Enablement and learning delivery
handoff-* — Sales to CS transitions
automation-* — Tech-touch and scaled onboarding
signals-* — Early warning detection and intervention
