From the Dotted Line to Long-Lasting Partnerships

The 8 Steps for Setting CITY up for Success during Client Onboarding

Securing a client’s signature was once seen as the final hurdle. Today, however, this is just the beginning of a journey that forges lasting relationships. Onboarding isn’t just an introduction to our company; it’s a foundational step in a partnership that can span years.

 

1. Commitment to Promises: The True Seal of Partnership

 

The value of a signature lies not in ink, but in commitment. As Colin Wetlaufer, President of CITY, puts it, “We consider our clients’ needs long before they ink their commitment to us. It’s about doing right by them, which, in turn, cements their confidence in our services.”

 

2. Personalized Onboarding: Tailoring Services to Fit Like a Glove

 

The key to a successful onboarding is in the details. Every client is unique, and understanding their needs is paramount. We dive deep, asking the right questions to ensure we tailor our services to fit them perfectly.

 

3. Simplicity is Our Signature: Making Onboarding Effortless

 

At CITY, we redefine onboarding by making it effortless. From pre-contract walkthroughs to the seamless transition of services, we handle the complexities so our clients can enjoy a hassle-free experience.

 

4. Building Relationships: From Sales to Service

 

The transition from a sales prospect to a serviced client is delicate and essential. Ken Schnor, our Regional Manager, emphasizes, “It’s our duty to not just meet but exceed the trust placed in us by our clients, showcasing our commitment at every step.”

 

5. Checking In: The Pulse of Client Satisfaction

 

Post-onboarding, we don’t step back—we step up. Following up within the first quarter, we ensure the service clients receive is nothing short of exemplary, continuing to nurture the relationship well beyond the sale.

 

6. Open Channels: Communication as the Lifeline of Service

 

Communication is the lifeline that sustains our client relationships. It keeps our team aligned and attuned to our clients’ evolving needs, ensuring that we deliver consistently excellent service.

 

7. Growth Through Insight: Seizing Every Opportunity

 

Understanding our clients allows us to spot opportunities to serve them better. Whether it’s with additional products or services, we’re always looking for ways to enhance their CITY experience.

 

8. Onboarding as a Retention Strategy

 

An outstanding onboarding experience isn’t just about making a great first impression. It’s about setting the stage for a fruitful, long-term partnership and turning satisfied clients into vocal advocates.

 

Concluding Thoughts: Onboarding as Our Commitment to Peace-of-Mind

 

At CITY, we strive to surpass client expectations, offering peace-of-mind through professional account management. Our philosophy is simple: take care of the service so our clients can focus on what they do best from day one. Clean and simple.
