Hi:
I work at a programmatic managed service agency where we run programmatic campaigns for clients. The CS team is responsible for campaign launch (have signed paperwork, tags, pixels, etc), project manage the build of custom audiences and creatives, work with any 3rd party partners (brand studies, CRM uploads, etc), and create the month reporting/QBRs. We also are the primary contact with the client, ensure all emails are answered, any issues are resolved quickly. As we are not SaaS there is no onboarding/training involved and we only have Sales and CS - there isn't a Customer Success team. Additionally, upper management wants CS to uncover opportunities at current clients with the hopes of upselling on a new channel or a new brand
I was brought on board to build out the department. It's been a year and I have implemented processes and brought on a team in the last 6 months. I have not had to create any metrics for a bonus plan before, as my previous company provided the metrics to measure the team on, and it doesn't fit my new place.
Customer satisfaction seems a bit arbitrary - as there are other teams involved and if a client is unhappy it is not the CSM's fault. CSMs are not responsible for the renewals, and if a client renews due to good performance that is more through the Trader's efforts.
I am trying to figure what type of quantitative metrics and job performance metrics I can provide for a bonus plan. I'd love some advice from those who have done this before!
Thank you
