Rachel Lyubovitzky serves as the CEO and Chairwoman at Setuply, Inc., a Client Onboarding Automation Platform. The company highlights a common pitfall among B2B solution providers, where hyper-personalization of the onboarding experience can overshadow the need for a clear, scalable client onboarding process. This emphasis on accommodating unique client requests may lead to a loss of focus on profitability and overall business sustainability.
Established companies, not just early-stage providers, can fall into this trap. While personalized service is valued, constantly reinventing the wheel for each client can pose risks to the business. To ensure sustainable growth, companies must strike a balance between individual client needs and operational efficiency by establishing streamlined, consistent onboarding processes.
Key strategies include aligning stakeholders early in the process, maintaining control over the onboarding journey, avoiding premature automation, setting boundaries around unique client requests, and ensuring constant communication throughout the process. By following these steps, companies can deliver high-quality service, maintain profitability, and foster client trust.
