Episode 172. Express Tip #86 Tracking KPIs with your clients

March 23, 2022

Today, I want to give you tips on how to check in with your clients with four KPIs around the client experience. These tips will help you immensely when your business is growing.

What doesn’t get tracked, can’t get managed. That’s why key performance indicators are essential within your processes so it’s easier whenever you want to step into the next level with your business.

In today’s blog, we’re sharing 4 KPIs to help you track your success with clients. They include: 

1. Tracking your client retention 

This is a great KPI to measure. How do you do it? First, pull your client list from last year – some CRMs will do it as well. Then, get your current client list. You will be able to see how many clients you have kept and how many have gone elsewhere. 

That’s easy, right? The idea is to narrow down the ones that have left or that are no longer with you and understand the reasons why.  This will give you information on where and how to improve. You can get stronger, get better, and get some ideas on how to tweak your process. 

 

2. Client Success ratio

The next KPI we recommend to keep track of is the client-success ratio. How well is your client performing? What do they see as success and what does success mean for them? How can you measure that? 

For example, if you’re in a service-based business, are they improving their service with what you’re providing? You can measure if they are getting to the end of their processes. You can also track if they are strengthening the part of their business you are helping them with. Client success is unique to your business, but I want you to take into consideration that the more success they have with your help, the more they are going to stay with you. And recommend you to their peers!

 

3. Prospect-to-Client process

Another KPI when it comes to the client experience is YOUR prospect-to-client process. Do you have a process in place for your sales cycle? For instance, how long are you talking to a prospect before they become a client? What are their reasons when they say “not now”? The answers to these questions will help you see where you can improve the process. 

 

4. Client experience and lifespan with you

How long are your clients staying with you? For some businesses, clients are annuity-based. They are reoccurring in your business and repeat revenue sources for you.  Some others are more transactional where it is a one-time and done type of client experience.

Going back to your clients to track KPIs like client retention, client success, timing your prospect-to-client, and client lifetime and experience will provide you with sufficient data to steer things in your business and make better decisions in the future.

If you haven’t revisited your clients, the data, and KPIs before, I advise you to do it. You will learn to improve your business while also improving the experience of your team and clients, which is the most essential aspect.
