A new client decides in the first month whether the work was worth buying, and a vague handover makes that decision harder. This template turns the sale into a shared plan: goals and success measures, milestones with owners on both sides, the inputs the customer must send, training and the go-live review. It is written so the customer's team can use it without asking the seller.
The sample is for Dovecote Trading, a fictional services firm onboarding Cedar Lane Studio over 59 days. Its dates, budgets and match rates are sample data: 98 percent of records matched on import and a target of 60 percent of users active by day 30. Replace the goals, milestones and contacts with your own, and confirm the go-live date with the customer in writing.
Click Make a copy in Google Docs, then confirm on the Google page. The copy is saved to your own Google Drive.
Write the customer's goals in their own words, with the date they expect first value.
Replace the milestones, owners and inputs with the ones agreed in the kickoff.
Set the billing terms and contact details, then confirm go-live in writing.
Delete the guide page, add the thirty-day review, then share the pack with the customer.
Yes, at no cost. Make a copy and the pack is saved to your Drive, ready to send to each new client on signature.
No. Dovecote Trading, Cedar Lane Studio, their staff and every date and figure are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own details before you send the pack.
Yes, if the customer has agreed the scope. Send it two days before kickoff so the goals and inputs can be checked in the first meeting, rather than discovered later.
