Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Hootsuite provides 24/7/365 support through our international team and presence. Support is via email, phone or online chat. Enterprise customers are also assigned a Customer Success Manager (CSM) to serve as a primary contact and an escalation point during business hours. Your CSM is a dedicated resource to bridge you to the right Hootsuite resources to solve any technical issues. Furthermore, an online knowledge database and self paced training resources are also available. On day 1, requirements are gathered through discovery calls and demos of proposed solutions throughout the sales process, and once aligned, are transferred to the Customer Success team. During the onboarding process we begin with a Kickoff call to introduce the product and solution and to present known goals and strategies. Our Professional Services team runs through a methodical and phased approach to launch projects. We begin with Discovery, in which we conduct a thorough needs analysis to confirm best practices for our client's use cases and run through our project plan. We then configure users, teams, access permissions and analytics, iterating with our client until sign-off.
