Half the hour goes to hunting logins. Content plan waits another week.
Day-one packet ready
Intake in. Access invited. Calendar drafted. Kickoff is about strategy, not scavenger hunts.
Warm binder neutrals. Tabbed sections. Built like a welcome packet you hand a new retainer client, not a dark sales page. Examples use fictional brands only. No fake retainer wins. Not affiliated with Meta, Instagram, or TikTok.
