One with the internal team; sales, engineers, coordinators and PM's. Once we've come to an agreement of what the SOW actually says (not it's intent), mainly to make sure everyone is on the same sheet of music. Next is the official KOM w the customer. Usually same group in front of the customer. I agree with you comments; make sure deliverables are up front, agreements to timeline, future communications (ie when/if there is a weekly meeting, update reports sent or posted, etc), and who's responsible for what and who they can escalate to if they feel we aren't performing.
