Introduction
Most churn happens in the first 90 days. Customers buy with optimism, then reality hits setup is harder than expected, results take longer, or they don't know how to use what they bought. Strong onboarding prevents this. It delivers quick wins that prove value, sets realistic expectations, and ensures customers achieve their desired outcome before the honeymoon ends. Without structured onboarding, customers drift, disengage, and churn. With it, they succeed early and stick around. This chapter shows you how to design the first 30-90 days to activate customers, prove value fast, and set the foundation for long-term retention.
