FX April Virtual Luncheon

April 29, 2022 @ 11:30 am 1:00 pm

Onboard Like a Pro with Amber Monaco of You Need An Amber, LLC.


About this event:
Your onboarding process doesn’t have to be complicated or haphazard!

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create a thoughtful and loving experience for your new clients that can be replicated time and time again. Onboarding should be a nurturing experience for new clients who have already shown they trust you by signing the contract and paying the first invoice.

But what happens after that??

As the business owner, you need to create a nurturing client experience of small tasks with a BIG impact. It only takes a little bit of extra effort to show your new client that you’re prepared for their project, excited about the work, and are ready to get started.

NOTE: This workshop will not discuss contracts or invoices. We’ll be talking about what happens AFTER you’ve booked a client.

Members: Free / Guests: $10. Be sure to register in advance on Eventbrite in order to gain access to the Zoom link.
