Executive Coach Automates Client Onboarding
August 20, 2025
Sarah Chen, an executive coach specializing in leadership development for tech companies, was experiencing rapid growth in her practice. However, her manual onboarding process was becoming a bottleneck that affected both her ability to take on new clients and the quality of the initial client experience.
The Challenge
Sarah's traditional onboarding process involved extensive paperwork, multiple manual assessments, and a time-intensive discovery phase that typically took two weeks to complete. This process required 20+ hours of her time per client, limiting her to just 2-3 new clients per month.
Her challenges included:
- Lengthy onboarding process delaying value delivery
- Inconsistent data collection across clients
- Time-intensive manual assessments
- Difficulty scaling her practice
- Client frustration with lengthy setup process

- Automated questionnaire system with adaptive logic
- AI analysis of client responses to identify key themes and focus areas
- Customized onboarding plan generation based on client profile
- Integration with calendar systems for automated scheduling
- Real-time progress tracking for both coach and client
The Results
The implementation yielded exceptional results:
- Reduced onboarding time from 2 weeks to 2 days (80% reduction)
- Increased client capacity from 8 to 25 clients per month
- Improved client satisfaction scores from 4.2 to 4.8/5.0
- Eliminated paperwork errors through automated data collection
- Sarah's time spent on onboarding decreased by 90%
