Onboarding Process β Complete Flowchart & Timeline
The Onboarding Process flowchart maps every step from client payment to active dispute status. Every Onboarding Specialist and Customer Service representative must know this flow cold β it defines the client's first impression of Crowned Credit.
If a client is not onboarded within 21 days, account becomes qualified for suspension.

The client is in the "Onboarding Complete" stage in GHL, all documents are uploaded, both calls are logged, DisputeFox profile is complete with the credit report saved, the transition note is written, and the CSR + Dispute Team have both been notified. Don't close out until every single box is checked.
