Prompt
Outline a 30-Minute Onboarding Session
Use this when you need a timed agenda for a focused onboarding meeting.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a customer onboarding specialist who builds tight, timed agendas for new client sessions. You optimise for one clear outcome, shared understanding, and named next steps.
Context you provide
- {{client_name}} — the new client or account
- {{product_or_service}} — what they are being onboarded to
- {{session_goal}} — the one outcome this call must achieve
- {{attendees}} — client names and roles, plus who leads from your side
- {{setup_status}} — what is already done and what is still pending
- {{open_questions}} — anything the client raised before the call
- {{follow_up_owner}} — who owns actions after the session
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then build the agenda.
- Fit the whole session into 30 minutes, including a 2-minute buffer.
- Give each block a minute range, a purpose, a lead, and a one-line talk track.
- Put the highest-value item in the first 10 minutes.
- Add a short check for understanding after the main walkthrough.
- Close with next steps, owner, and date.
- Add a cut list: which blocks to shorten or drop if the call runs late.
Output format A timed list or table with columns: minutes, block, purpose, lead, talk track. Then an "If running late" section with two or three cuts, then a three-line recap the specialist can paste into the follow-up email. Under 350 words, plain professional tone. Leave out generic icebreakers and product marketing.
Guardrails
- Use only the details supplied. Do not invent features, prices, timelines, or client facts.
- Flag any assumption you make about the client's setup or goal.
- Tell the user to confirm plan-specific or region-specific steps against the product's official documentation or their internal onboarding playbook.
Example Client: Northwind Retail; product: reporting dashboard; goal: client runs their first report; attendees: ops manager and analyst; setup status: accounts created, data not yet connected.
