    Client Onboarding and CRM Setup

    Professional onboarding that builds confidence and sets you up for success

    Once a prospect agrees to move forward, there, the relationship transitions from sales to delivery. A smooth onboarding experience builds confidence and establishes professionalism.

    Step 1: Send Agreement and Invoice

    Formalise with a simple service agreement covering: services provided, monthly fee, ad budget terms, payment schedule, and cancellation terms. Get payment before starting work.

    Step 2: Collect Business Assets

    Step 3: Set Up the CRM Pipeline

    Create a structured pipeline in GoHighLevel:

    • New Lead → Contacted → Interested → Quote Sent → Won → Lost
    Pro Tip
    Signed up through our GHL link? You can import our pre-built pipeline snapshots directly into your account — no manual setup needed. These are the exact pipelines we use across 100+ client accounts at AMW.

    Step 4: Configure Automated Follow-Up

    Set up automations that trigger when a lead submits a form:

    • Immediate confirmation email to customer
    • SMS thank-you message
    • Link to schedule a consultation
    • Notification to the business owner

    Step 5: Gain Access to Marketing Accounts

    Request admin/advertiser access (not login credentials) to: Facebook Business Page, Meta Ads Manager, Google Business Profile, and website hosting.

    Step 6: Set Up Tracking Dashboards

    Create simple dashboards showing: leads generated, cost per lead, phone calls, form submissions, conversion rates, and ad spend.

    Pro Tip
    When clients can clearly see results, they are far more likely to remain long-term partners. Transparency is your greatest retention tool.

    The First 48 Hours Rule

    Key Takeaway
    The "First 48 Hours" Rule: Send something valuable within 48 hours of a client signing. Even if it's just their Google Business Profile audit, a keyword research document, or access credentials being set up. Why? Because the moment after someone pays is when buyer's remorse is strongest. If they hear nothing for a week, they start thinking "did I make a mistake?" But if they receive something useful within 48 hours, it reinforces their decision and builds immediate trust. Early wins prevent cancellations.
