What should a client onboarding form include?

The people (contacts), the goal (success criteria), the logistics (kickoff date, communication channel), and the materials (brand assets). This template covers all four in nine fields.

When should clients fill out an onboarding form?

Immediately after signing, before the kickoff call — the call then becomes a working session instead of a data-collection meeting.

Why ask about 90-day success instead of general goals?

A time-boxed question forces concrete answers. 'Grow the brand' becomes '200 qualified leads by March' — and that sentence becomes your scope anchor.

Why each question earns its place

Primary Contact Name: Names the decision channel on day one — half of all project friction is not knowing who to ask.
What does success look like in the first 90 days?: The scope anchor. When priorities drift mid-project, you quote this answer back.
How do you prefer to communicate?: Asking beats assuming: a client drowning in email will tell you they want async updates only.
Brand Assets or Briefs: Collecting files here saves the classic week-one blocker: waiting for someone to find the logo.

Best for
