As the end of the year approaches, how are you planning to evaluate your CSMs? Specifically thinking aside from the objectives/KPIs such as GRR, NRR, NPS, etc.

    Jeff,

    Curious to know why you think this is an end of year activity.

    Hey Jeff,

    Evaluation, in my opinion, is an ongoing process and not just something done at a specific time interval.  

    Annual reviews and mid-year reviews are likely the more in-depth conversations that discuss progress, goals for the upcoming year, development opportunities, setting of expectations, alignment on all of these items, etc..  Your weekly 1:1's (or whatever cadence you use) are the place to continue that conversation, tracking progress, and course correcting where needed.

    Think of it in the same way you do with your customers:  You set goals at the beginning of the year, meet regularly to track progress, have a mid-year EBR to review where you are/where we're going, all leading up to the renewal conversation to discuss our partnership for the next 12 months.  The relationship with your CSM's is no different.
