Client Onboarding for HVAC

The Client Onboarding workflow supports HVAC contractors by standardizing how new customers are guided into the project phase. It includes welcoming clients, reviewing equipment details, confirming schedules, and discussing communication preferences. By following this workflow, HVAC companies reduce miscommunication, improve professionalism, and set clear expectations from the beginning. Clients benefit from organized, reliable communication, while sales teams gain efficiency and accountability. With this onboarding system in place, HVAC contractors improve customer satisfaction, strengthen trust, and set every installation or service project up for success.
