Create an onboarding schedule
SaaS onboarding often takes about two weeks. The first week is for completing forms and collecting information, and the second week is for training and walkthroughs.
Consider what elements your onboarding should include and plot them on a timeline—for example, welcome messages, product walk-throughs, and guided tutorials. Always be proactive. Don't let people wait for your next email, message, or call.

Offer many opportunities for support
The onboarding process is where customers learn to use your product, so they'll likely have questions or comments. Make it easy for them to get in touch so they don't disengage and leave.
Build touchpoints into your SaaS onboarding checklist where you can reach out to offer support. For example, emails, in-app messages, or phone calls.

Provide additional ways to find value
Some customer segments will require extra support and education. To help customers feel supported, point out during your onboarding process that additional materials are available to customers, such as detailed user guides, community forums, and more.
Conducting a customer success check after the onboarding process can help to answer burning questions and get valuable feedback. This can be a call or online survey.

Give customers a way out
Your SaaS onboarding checklist may feel essential to you, but many customers will find it a burden.
Offer them a chance to exit at specific points so that they can continue to use the product how they prefer. Check-in periodically to offer support and point them to DIY resources.
