Customer implementation framework

What is a customer implementation framework?

A customer implementation framework is a structured approach to ensure a smooth and effective transition from sales to post-sales activities.

It outlines the key steps and milestones required to onboard and implement a product or service for a customer, ensuring accountability across teams.

What’s inside the template?

The customer implementation framework covers the entire customer journey from sales handoff to full implementation.

Key sections include:

1. Sales to post-sales handoff – Detailed steps to transition customer ownership from the sales team to the customer success team, ensuring no details are lost.
2. Customer onboarding – A series of tasks to kickstart the onboarding process, including creating an implementation plan, setting up meetings, and sharing schedules.
3. Customer implementation – Actionable steps for executing training, demos, and follow-up sessions to ensure customers are fully equipped to use the product.

Each section is broken down into specific tasks (with space to assign team members), due dates, and progress tracking, to ensure clear ownership and visibility at every stage.

How to use the template

1. Customize the steps – Tailor the framework to your specific needs by filling in task names, assignees, due dates, and progress status.
2. Assign responsibilities – Clearly define which team or individual is responsible for each task.
3. Track progress – Use the template to monitor the status of each task, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks during the onboarding and implementation phases.
4. Follow-up – Ensure ongoing communication by scheduling follow-up sessions to address customer questions and gather feedback.
