Connection series · From client welcome to contract renewal

From welcome email to renewal.

A retainer client gets a welcome, a daily usage check, a check-in when requests drop and a call when they run out. The founder fixes the tone once, finance checks the payment reminder, and the retainer renews on a bigger plan.

Fernwood Studio, Northgate Coffee and everyone in the video are fictional, and so are the links and numbers. All six films on YouTube

Connections

What each tool does here.

Each person signs in to their own account. The agent works with what that account can already see.

Steps 01 and 03
Gmail

Welcome and check-in emails are drafted in Gmail. The team reads each one before it goes.

Step 05
QuickBooks

Every month the agent checks invoices and flags any payment that fails.

Step 06
Google Calendar

When a client needs a call, it goes on the owner's calendar.

The workflow

7 steps, one Room.

The same steps as the film. Each one shows what the agent does in the Room and, where it matters, who signs it off.

One note, every check-inAlex said the check-in read too salesy: ask about their launch first, then offer a hand. The agent rewrote it and saved the tone as a guideline for every client.
