Introduction

Monitoring customer goal alignment is critical to ensuring that success strategies stay relevant and impactful. Dashboards provide real-time insights into progress, allowing you to identify gaps and proactively address misalignments. This article outlines how to use dashboards effectively to track goal alignment and maintain customer satisfaction.


Step 1: Build Goal-Focused Dashboards

Create dashboards tailored to track customer goals and key metrics.

  • Define Key Metrics: Focus on metrics such as milestone completion, ROI progress, and health scores. Use Dashboards to visualize these metrics effectively.

  • Organize by Customer Segments: Segment dashboards by regions, tiers, or account owners to ensure actionable insights for each segment.

  • Leverage Visual Widgets: Use bar graphs, pie charts, and trend lines to simplify data interpretation.


Step 2: Track Progress Against Goals

Dashboards allow you to monitor progress and identify deviations from planned outcomes.

  • Use Success Plans for Data Integration: Ensure that documented goals in Success Plans are reflected in your dashboards.

  • Monitor Goal Completion Rates: Use widgets to track the percentage of completed milestones and identify overdue items.

  • Automate Data Updates: Schedule automated data refreshes to keep dashboards current without manual effort.


Step 3: Identify and Address Misalignments

Dashboards help pinpoint areas where customer goals may not align with current strategies.

  • Spot Health Score Drops: Use health score trends to detect at-risk accounts. Refer to Scorecards for monitoring detailed health metrics.

  • Analyze Gaps by Segment: Identify which segments have lower goal achievement rates and prioritize interventions.

  • Trigger Alerts for Risks: Set up notifications for significant misalignments using the Rules Engine.


Step 4: Share Insights Across Teams

Collaborate effectively by sharing dashboard insights with stakeholders.

  • Enable Role-Specific Views: Customize dashboard access for different roles, such as CSMs and executives.

  • Embed Dashboards in Collaboration Tools: Share dashboards through tools like Slack or Salesforce for seamless cross-functional collaboration.

  • Schedule Reporting Cadence: Set a regular cadence to review dashboards during team meetings or customer check-ins.
