Drive 1st time use (/adoption), maximize value delivered, and reduce support calls.
The three blocks that make up the Onboard stage focus on driving adoption and following through with customers to set them up for success.
Building Block 7: Onboarding Email
In most sales cycles, actually making the sale marks the pinnacle, and natural endpoint, of the entire process. In the world of selling cloud services, however, it’s what comes next—onboarding— that can be just as critical to boosting a provider’s bottom line.

Building Block 8: Online Onboarding Center
An online onboarding center gives customers the opportunity to learn more about the cloud services they’ve purchased, as well as another way for them to self-serve and answer their own questions before escalating to human - assisted support.
Your onboarding center doesn’t need to be sophisticated, but it does need to offer a few key items, including at least one web page dedicated to each application that you offer (Office 365, Dropbox, Canvas, etc.). Learn more about what each application page should contain.
