Freelancer / Agency Client-Launch Workbook + Template Bundle: The Plug-&-Play Client Onboarding System

TL;DR: If you run client projects, you don’t need another blank planner. You need a structured client onboarding workbook that turns chaos into clarity from Day 1. That’s exactly what the Freelancer / Agency Client-Launch Workbook + Template Bundle delivers—guided intake, scope of work templates, project timeline planning, deliverables checklists, and revision trackers. It’s a plug-&-play client launch system with higher perceived value than generic planners, so you can charge more and deliver faster.

Why freelancers and agencies need more than a generic planner

  • A project timeline template for realistic deadlines.

  • A revision tracker to manage changes with confidence.

Stop firefighting projects. Start running a system.

To get the full system experience, I highly recommend pairing the Client-Launch Workbook with a high-quality physical desk organizer (for your printed worksheets, notes, and contracts) and a 3-in-1 wireless charging stand (so your tablet/phone is always powered and in view). They complement your workflow, reduce friction, and look great on camera when you share your process with clients.
