[Operator Excellence Series] Measuring relationships in B2B SaaS w/ Ziv Peled

Hey there, we wanted to start a thread to make sure and share the video and corresponding slides to Ziv's presentation from Wednesday.

This was a great session around Measuring Relationships in B2B SaaS - Ziv has gone above and beyond what we've seen in the market when it comes to this topic and value his execution.

In the comments below, I'll be adding in questions and hope to get @Ziv Peled to come in and answer them almost in an AMA style thread.

Thanks for following up @Ziv Peled. Really enjoyed the webinar last week!

We have a process to open and handle red flags, we have a lot of indications from our data and from external data.

Relationships is also producing insights and indications.

It's working very well.

Thanks for the response, @Ziv Peled. I really like the approach you are taking with relationship measurement. I've put some type of metric around this at my last 2 companies but didn't take it nearly as far as you have. More to add color and context to customer health. Curious if you don't have some type of health score, are there other leading indicators you track or report on, or are you relying entirely on relationship measurement to demonstrate customer success. Are you correlating it with churn?

Very informative and a great session.

We are in the first stage, we are researching how to validate relationships and more

Ziv Peled

I’m not an health score believer. we have red flags which are mainly manually created in addition to insights relevant to our product / industry

the relationship object is Available under the account for any department.

Work in progress

Absolutely yes, it’s a great opportunity for a new onboarding.

it’s also a risk when the new champion worked with your competitors before

Was an amazing session and I have already booked out time to re-watch it and digest some of the points further. Great ideas to be learnt from. Thanks @Ziv Peled for doing and @Jeff Breunsbach for arranging!

In enterprise accounts you usually work with 10-30 people but there are 2-5 main people (champion, decision makers and executive)), there are the significant relationship, the ones you must invest in the most

@Sam Smith do you ever audit your relationships or have CSMs verify in some way? any issue with CSMs stating they have stronger relationships than they really do?

@Ori Lotan How do you weight everything in aggregate for multiple relationships? Is one 5 of a senior person more significant than 3 5’s from mid to junior individuals?

@Rob Schmeltzer wanted to know...

Do you/How do you incorporate into health scoring? How do you merge this relationship info with sales so have 1 view of customer?

@Brian Hartley was curious how your CSMs operate when a change in key stakeholder occurs. Do you treat a brand new POC as if they just onboarded?

Question from @Remco de Vries :

How do you define a Significant Relationship Ziv?
