Client Onboarding for Plumbing

The Client Onboarding workflow gives plumbing contractors a structured checklist for welcoming clients and setting expectations after a contract is signed. It covers confirming project scope, scheduling work, reviewing site access, and establishing communication routines. By using this system, plumbing companies reduce misunderstandings, improve professionalism, and create consistency across teams. Clients benefit from clear, transparent communication, while sales staff gain efficiency and accountability. With this onboarding workflow in place, plumbing contractors can build stronger relationships, increase client satisfaction, and support long-term business growth.
