One of the most common questions I get is: How do you compensate your CSMs?



The metrics that drive our CSMs’ bonuses are:




  1. Net number of “Wins”: Specifically, a certain net number of customers that moved into a state of Green or Lime Habits, which is an indication of sticky adoption and a proxy for whether the customer is getting value from our product


  2. Customer Success Qualified Leads (CSQLs): Our CSMs partner with Sales by identifying expansion opportunities


  3. Customer Success Qualified Advocacy (CSQA): Our CSMs have targets for the advocacy engagements they secure

I’d love to hear from you – what factors contribute to your CSM compensation?
