Onboarding is a term that's thrown around quite often and it has a few different meanings.

What sort of process to you have that helps that client understand what this engagement is going to look like. When you open up any box, there's a quick start guide right?

A259 - What 3 things do you grab in the zombie apocalypse?

That doesn't mean you can't use it for sales, but from my experience, sales need to be at a deeper level on the platform, say in DMs, Lives, IGTV and that sort of thing. I say "it depends" also because I think the product/service you are selling has to make sense to where the person is on Instagram.

A258 - Is Instagram a better vehicle for visibility? Sales?
