Closed Won Deal Handoff + Notification System
Description
The transition from sales to onboarding can often be a point of friction, but with a streamlined handoff process, you can ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. This milestone requires sales reps to populate key deal properties when moving a deal to the "Closed Won" stage. These properties will include essential data to kickstart the onboarding process. Automation will then trigger internal notifications to alert the onboarding team, send welcome emails to the client, and, if necessary, create a ticket in the client onboarding pipeline to ensure a smooth transition. This system keeps everyone aligned and accelerates your onboarding process.
Process Summary
- Define Required Deal Properties: Collaborate to identify key properties (e.g., client contact information, start date, product/service details) that sales reps must complete before moving a deal to "Closed Won."
- Automate Internal Notifications: Set up automated notifications to alert the onboarding team whenever a deal is marked as "Closed Won" and all required properties are filled.
- Client Communication Setup: Create welcome or confirmation emails that are automatically sent to the client upon deal closure to set expectations and begin the relationship.
- Onboarding Ticket Automation: If applicable, create a ticket in the client onboarding pipeline to track the transition and ensure that all necessary steps are taken.
- Testing and Optimization: Test the entire handoff process, from deal stage change to email notification and ticket creation, ensuring smooth functionality and eliminating errors.

- Collaboration to define the necessary content for welcome emails or confirmation messages.
