Summary

This lesson covers how to design a smooth handoff from sales to delivery so that nothing gets lost in the transition. You will learn what information needs to transfer, how to structure the handoff meeting, and how to set expectations with the customer so their experience stays consistent from the first sales call through to delivery.

The moment a deal closes is when the customer experience truly begins. A clumsy handoff from sales to delivery can undo all the trust you built during the sales process. This chapter helps you design a handoff process that transfers all the context your delivery team needs, sets clear expectations with the customer, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks during the transition.
