Mission

The Client Success Manager (CSM), also known as a Contractor Partner (CP), is responsible for minimizing client churn and maximizing customer lifetime value (LTV) through three core objectives: onboarding clients successfully, maintaining long-term relationships, and identifying opportunities to grow revenue through increased ad spend, renewals, and additional services.

• Performance Updates: Send personalized weekly performance emails, communicate positive results and concerns, and proactively notify clients of issues or mistakes.
• Performance Coaching: Review the ROI dashboard and explain key metrics, including ROI, cost per lead (CPL), and cost per appointment. Coach clients on improving lead follow-up, booking rates, and sales conversion using internal training materials, case studies, and SOPs.
• Client Retention: Identify churn risks early, manage expectations, resolve complaints, handle difficult conversations, and rebuild client trust.
• Revenue Growth: Identify opportunities to increase ad spend, secure renewals or quarterly plans, introduce additional services, and coordinate testimonials or case studies with satisfied clients.
• Internal Reporting: Provide weekly green/yellow/red client health updates, document risks and follow-ups, maintain accurate client records, and participate in daily check-ins and team meetings.
• Process Improvement: Coordinate with internal teams when needed and help improve client success workflows and SOPs as the business scales.
