What do customers ask you most often during onboarding?
- Priya Shah0:45
They ask what happens next and when they will hear from us. They rarely ask for a detailed dashboard.
- Alex Rivera1:30
How do you answer those questions today?
- Priya Shah2:15
I message the delivery lead, wait for a reply, and then email the customer. A simple answer can take most of a day.
- Alex Rivera3:00
What would you prioritize?
- Priya Shah3:45
A named contact and a reliable next-update date. We should measure whether customers need to chase us, not how many status fields we fill in.
- Alex Rivera4:30
Is there a risk in automating those updates?
- Priya Shah5:15
An automatic message with an old date is worse than no message. Someone needs to own the accuracy before an update goes out.
