Ideas

1. Most onboarding problems aren't the client's fault — they come from a vague kickoff call.

2. A one-page "what happens next" doc cuts back-and-forth emails more than any tool.

3. Clients don't want more updates — they want to know you haven't forgotten them.

Best idea + why

Idea 3 — "Clients don't want more updates, they want to know you haven't forgotten them."

In the original blog post, this was a side point buried near the end. On LinkedIn it's the strongest hook — it flips a thing most consultants believe, and it fits a reader who's skimming the feed. The main idea (the kickoff call) is heavier and reads better as a long-form piece, not a scroll-stopper.

Final version

Your client isn't annoyed that you're slow.

They're annoyed that they don't know if you've started.

I used to send detailed weekly updates. Timelines, progress bars, the lot. I thought more detail meant more trust.

It didn't.

What calmed people down was one short line: "Still on track — next thing from me lands Thursday."

That's it. No report. No dashboard.

Because the worry isn't "is this late." The worry is "has this person forgotten about me."

Answer that one question, often, and the rest of the noise fades.

What's the smallest update you've sent that landed best? Reply and tell me.
