It’s easy to measure the objective Service Level Agreement (SLA) and key performance indicators (KPI) through the stoplight process, you either make them or miss them. The subjective measurements are the things the numbers do not tell you. These are critically important to know.
An example is a customer that does, say, $3M of services revenue and another $3M of product revenue on an annual basis. Let’s say the customer awarded your $6M book of business to another supplier through an RFP process. Your SLA performance was always at 95 % or better!
How did you lose this customer? During the debrief about why you lost the business, the customer said they didn’t like working with the people on the ground servicing the account. This example clearly illustrates how critical it is to know the soft measurements so you can respond and create a happier customer vs. not knowing and eventually losing the business. This may all seem complicated, but with The ExitMaximizer Framework, you can easily manage this through our Stoplight Process .
