    Template

    Customer onboarding SOP

    A standard operating procedure template for onboarding a new B2B customer — covering the first 90 days from contract signature to fully embedded.

    Who it’s for: Customer success leads and account managers at UK B2B businesses

    How to use

    Follow these steps

    1. Pre-day-one

      Contract signed and filed, kick-off meeting scheduled, primary contact identified, secondary contact requested, internal handover from sales to CS complete.

    2. Kick-off meeting (week 1)

      Confirm goals (what success looks like at 30/60/90), agree project plan with milestones, set communication cadence, exchange technical contacts.

    3. Configuration (weeks 1-2)

      Account setup, user provisioning, integrations configured, custom fields and workflows tuned to the customer''s use case.

    4. Training (weeks 2-3)

      Train the admins first, then the end users. Record the sessions. Provide written quick-start guides for self-service later.

    5. Go-live (week 3-4)

      First live use under supervision. Daily standups during the first week of live use. Fix issues fast — first-week experience drives retention.

    6. 30-day review

      Are we on track for the goals set at kick-off? What''s working, what isn''t. Adjust the plan.

    7. 60-day expansion conversation

      By 60 days the customer should be getting clear value. This is the right moment to introduce additional features or seats.

    8. 90-day check

      Has the customer hit the success criteria? Document the case study. Set up the regular review cadence (monthly or quarterly) going forward.
