When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when the same onboarding process today gets applied to every new customer regardless of size, wasting CS time on small accounts or under-serving large ones.
  • Use it when deal amount is a reasonable proxy for onboarding complexity in your business.

Skip it

  • Do not use it if plan or product purchased is a better predictor of onboarding complexity than deal amount, use customer-onboarding-017 instead, or combine both branches.
  • Do not use it for Enterprise deals that need a named specialist rather than a two-way split, see customer-onboarding-039.
