CRM Metrics Track historical performance Influence behaviour Compare disparate activities Continuous development Tool for Change Management Aligned with CRM strategy Key Concepts: Audit quality & quantity of metrics employed Identify which activities are to be compared Impact of performance from one area to another
Creating New Metrics» Five tests should be applied: 1. Validity What is the logical connection between the metric and the performance objective? 2. Holisticality If the creation of this metric changes employee behaviour, what are the likely implications of those changes elsewhere in the enterprise? 3. Comparability What other activities are supposed to achieve the same objective? Can the metrics be compared to enable understanding of which activity is proving most effective? 4. Actionability What actions should be taken if performance is unsatisfactory? Who would be responsible for taking these actions, and do they agree with the validity of the metric? 5. Manageability For how many other metrics is this group or individual already responsible? Will the addition of this new metric distract from established priorities?
