Wait, can you really use them in onboarding? Seems off.

I feel like segmentation and risk management could apply too, but I can't recall the specifics from my notes.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the 10 Cs were more about development and innovation rather than on-boarding.

I remember practicing a question about relationship cycles, and I feel like qualification could also be a good fit for the 10 Cs.

I think Carter's 10 Cs might be most relevant during the on-boarding stage, but I'm not entirely sure.
