Who this list is for
Service businesses often need their first-client experience built into a working system, not managed through scattered messages. This checklist is for an operations specialist setting up onboarding workflows, not providing ongoing virtual assistant work.
How to use this list
Begin with business registration, professional liability insurance, the onboarding system setup service menu, setup package price sheet, client service agreement, and invoice template. Use the discovery questionnaire and current workflow audit form to map the client’s existing process. Build or configure the client intake form template, welcome email template, appointment scheduling template, contract signature workflow, invoice payment workflow, new client task checklist, and client portal template. Set up the automation platform account, create a test client record, then prepare the system handoff guide and client training session agenda.
Common mistakes
Do not automate a workflow before reviewing the current workflow audit form. Do not test only individual steps; run a test client record through intake, scheduling, signature, payment, tasks, and portal access. Avoid handing over a system without the system handoff guide and a client training session agenda.
What is on this list
The list covers business setup, packages, agreements, discovery, auditing, intake, welcome communication, scheduling, contract and payment workflows, task checklists, portals, automation, testing, handoff, training, and invoicing. Cross off templates and systems that already work for the client.
When you are done
Run the test client record once more, confirm every workflow step, and review the system handoff guide with the client. Use the client training session agenda to show the configured process, then send the invoice template under the client service agreement.
