When onboarding new customers, I focus on understanding their specific needs and tailoring the process accordingly. I guide them through product features, set clear expectations for outcomes, and ensure continuous communication throughout to address any concerns promptly.

I track customer engagement metrics such as usage frequency, feature adoption rates, and satisfaction scores. Regular check-ins and feedback loops also help me gauge a customer's health, allowing me to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
