How to read the numbers
Onboarding is where trust is won. Be thorough, predictable and visible.
Week one
Contract and plan on the client row, renewal date set
Contacts and after-hours numbers collected
Admin credentials moved into the password vault
Devices inventoried and added to Devices
Backups checked and a restore test scheduled
Week two
Install monitoring and patch agents on every device.
Review security basics: multi-factor sign-in, backups, admin accounts.
Agree how people ask for help and what the response times are.
Week four
Review the first month's tickets with the client contact.
List risks found: old hardware, missing backups, shared passwords.
Agree a twelve-month improvement plan.
Priority guide
Triage steps
Read the ticket and set the priority honestly.
Attach the device if there is one.
Assign a technician and set Respond by.
Reply to the client with who has it and when to expect news.
Closing
Press Fix confirmed once the client agrees, and record hours spent.
Lifecycle
Laptops and desktops: plan a refresh at about four years.
Servers and network gear: review at five years or when warranty ends.
Every quarter
Open Warranty ending in 90 days and group by client.
Check condition and open tickets for each device.
Send each client a short replacement plan with rough costs.
When retiring a device
Wipe the storage and keep the certificate.
Press Retire device and note where it went.
Ninety days before
Open the client row and read Tickets in progress, Devices needing attention and Days to renewal.
Prepare a one-page summary of the year: tickets solved, improvements made, risks outstanding.
Sixty days before
Hold the review call with the decision maker.
Share the summary and proposed changes to the plan.
Agree the new fee and term in writing.
After signing
Update the plan, fee and renewal date on the client row the same day.
Clients renew when they feel looked after, not when the contract says so.
