Meets Team GRR is at or near target. Churn is understood and managed.
Below Team GRR misses. Churn surprises are common. Confirm signals are not consistently acted on.
Example phrases:
  • "Team GRR of 97% — best in the CS org. Zero preventable churn in Q3 and Q4."

CSM Coaching & Development

Growth and performance development of CSMs on the team.

Exceeds CSMs on this team are growing faster than peers. Multiple are promotion-ready.
Meets CSMs are developing. Coaching is consistent. Performance gaps are addressed.
