Customer Onboarding Experience Audit
Pinpoint the one step in the first two weeks that costs you renewals — with next actions, not vibes.
Best for: SaaS success teams, agencies with a kickoff phase, and service businesses whose renewals hinge on the first month.
Question 2 of 5
Which step took the longest?
The problem it solves
Customers who churn in month three almost always stalled in month one — but by the time NPS lands, the friction is invisible and the memory is fuzzy.
Built for lead-driven businesses that want qualified leads, not just email addresses.
A five-question audit that replaces the generic NPS ping. Customers get an on-screen readout of where they got stuck; you get a categorized ticket with the fix already suggested.
Every submission becomes a scored lead in your dashboard.
- Account, contact, and lifecycle day.
- Stalled step and severity band.
- Direct quote from the 'one thing' question — gold for product and CS ops.
- Source tag: lifecycle email · in-app · QBR · exit survey.
Questions that surface real signal.

Stalled at a specific step
One step blocks go-live — route to CS with the fix suggested and a working-session offer.
Never activated
No meaningful use inside two weeks — route to save-play with a re-onboarding offer before renewal risk builds.
A branded, personalized result — not another PDF.
Every submission ends on a scored result page like this. Prospects walk away with something useful, and you land a scored lead with context.
- Score + result band with a clear one-line summary
- Recommended next steps tuned to the answers
- A booking CTA that goes straight to your calendar
Stalled at integration
Account setup and invite-team went smoothly, but the CRM integration step blocked go-live — a common pattern for mid-market accounts without an admin on the call.
Recommended next steps
- Book a 20-minute integration-only working session this week
- Send the integration checklist with pre-flight requirements
- Flag the account for solutions-engineer review
