Free agency operations checklist
Stop starting new clients in chaos.
Get the client onboarding checklist for small agencies that need cleaner intake, kickoff, asset collection, and delivery handoff before the first week goes sideways.
Built for agencies, consultancies, studios, and freelance collectives. No software migration. No giant ops project.
Use this when onboarding keeps leaking time.
Most onboarding problems are not caused by bad clients. They happen because the team never agreed on the minimum inputs, owners, and handoff notes needed before delivery starts.
This checklist gives you one shared default for the first week after a client signs.
Signs you need it
- Kickoff turns into discovery because basic inputs are missing.
- The founder or account lead answers the same setup questions every time.
- Delivery starts before access, assets, or approval rules are clear.
- Clients ask “what happens next?” after they already paid.
What the checklist covers
Sales-to-delivery handoff
Scope, success criteria, exclusions, deadlines, decision makers, and known risks.
Asset and access request
What you need, who owns it, when it is due, and what happens if it is late.
Kickoff agenda
A short meeting structure that confirms decisions instead of hunting for context.
First delivery checkpoint
The earliest moment to catch confusion before it becomes rework.
Free checklist
Get the checklist that makes new clients less chaotic.
Use it before kickoff to collect the right inputs, assign owners, and give delivery a clean handoff instead of a vague “we’ll figure it out.”

How to use it in 15 minutes
- Pick one client that recently signed or is about to start.
- Fill the checklist with your current onboarding process, not the perfect version.
- Put an owner and due date beside every missing input.
- Send the kickoff recap with decisions, blockers, owners, and next dates.
- After the first week, delete anything that did not prevent confusion or rework.
What to do next
If the checklist exposes repeated gaps, turn those gaps into the full onboarding system: intake, welcome email, asset request, kickoff agenda, timeline, and handoff checklist.
That is what the Client Onboarding Pack is for once Lemon checkout is live.
