Let’s see where the framework comes in.<\/p>\n
What is a customer onboarding framework?<\/h2>\n
A customer onboarding framework\u00a0is a structured way of thinking about the set of actions, activities, and tools that go into helping a customer experience value.<\/p>\n
The diagram below breaks down several of the important elements that might form a part of your customer onboarding process<\/a>. All these elements are important, and you should consider carefully how to weave these different aspects together.<\/p>\n And remember, while these constituent parts can form a coherent part<\/strong> of a framework, in isolation they won’t solve the onboarding challenge.<\/p>\n Thinking about onboarding purely in terms of UI patterns is limiting.<\/p>\n Onboarding cannot be pigeonholed as a single feature. It’s a continuous<\/a> process meeting the needs of a huge range of user groups – and you, your team, and the organization need to buy into and believe in it.<\/p>\n It might still sound like a lot right now – but don’t worry, later in this article we’ll break down how you can design the best framework for your SaaS.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
