Title: Crafting a metrics-driven customer success engine
Description: Minding your metrics is common parlance for SaaS leaders, but fewer apply this data-driven approach to customer success, with many evaluating customer success teams incorrectly. Customer success leaders are typically measured in revenue, yet more impactful metrics are often unconsidered. Understanding which metrics matter is an imperative for customer success teams and the businesses they support. We’ll explore which metrics matter for your business, how to benchmark and increase them, and how to structure and incentivise teams for maximum performance.

Define our quality standards
First of all, it’s necessary to define our quality and lead-time criteria that we want for our customers. Industry standards, competitors' standards and budgetary constraints will influence this choice.
At Qonto we wanted to set the objective very high, in line with our customers' expectations and the best practice available on the market. We answer emails in less than 15 minutes from Monday to Sunday, answer 98% of calls in less than 1 minute with 98% customer satisfaction. Easy with 100 requests, much more complex to maintain with 3,000 tickets per day.
Structure the team :
It’s essential to keep the management of your customers internally at the beginning in order to:
Collect feedback
Understanding pain points
Improve the product and/or precisely log the features request
Have adequate internal knowledge
Set up the tools and management of the related authorizations
Define your KPIs, quality and lead-time objectives
Create procedures and standards
Create training books
Once these boxes are checked, we can take care of the outsourcing.
Outsource because:
Firstly, the faster you grow, the more you need to be helped to hire. That is a fact. We are stronger as a group to achieve this objective
Secondly, it allows you to create a backup of your internal teams. The bigger you get, the more critical the support becomes.
Concerning the choice of the service provider it will depend on 2 things:
The tradeoff between proximity and languages/skills offered
Fit with management teams or networks
In any case, the only golden rule to remember is that there are no good or bad outsourcers. We have the service provider that looks like us. You have to spend time with your service providers.

Definition of what a "RED BIN" is
Daily analysis of all red bin with our problem solving methodology
Implementation of countermeasures to improve, step by step, the various subjects (process, response quality, etc.)
It’s important to clearly map the different quality indicators and identify actionable indicators for each team, each individual employee.
Indeed, reasonably, on a daily basis, an agent doesn’t have direct control over the NPS. Thus, evaluating it on this indicator immediately puts him in a situation of failure and powerlessness. The NPS is the result, the synthesis of a multitude of other indicators that need to be addressed to the right people.
Collective criteria on CSat and NPS
Then we go down one level:
CSAT
Lead-time
Ratings on the different blinds
The reopened rate
The contact rate
Integration of individual indicators
The right balance between collective macro indicators (NPS) and individual indicators that can be activated directly by the team member.
Daily success, where the agent to 100% hand, like :
not have a bad rating
not to have a reopened ticket
forward the red bin to his manager
