BDTM Monthly Performance Review Process

Expectations:

Every BDTM must receive a monthly performance review by their manager, regardless of their standing. The purpose of the monthly review call is to discuss each team member’s performance, including any challenges or successes they are having. We want to work with the BDTM team to help them hit their goals and be as successful as possible.  It’s important to review their LPI, KPI, and Facilitation Rate for the recent month and four-month rolling average along with KPI performance trends. For any struggling team members, it’s also important to remind them what their Performance Score Baseline (minimum KPI for recent month or four-month average) is:

How to Schedule and Hold Monthly Performance Reviews for BDTM:

1. Chris posts the KPI Excel Sheet for the month in customer journey channel of the MS Teams “Management” team. Download a copy and save to your desktop. Don’t click on it as doing so will modify the information for everyone else. 

2. Analyze rolling averages and determine performance standing, per the template/guide below. 

3. Create and send an email out to each member of your team following the templates at the bottom of this page. Note that you will use a different template for BDTM in their first 3 months with TSL/on the On Track plan.

  • Search for BDTM’s name in the KPI Excel Sheet 
  • Copy their rolling 4-month numbers (or 3-month, if in first 3 months of On Track plan)
  • BDTM level should read correctly for the role/level they are 
  • Mention minimum KPI for that month and upcoming month 

4. Immediately after sending the emails, schedule a Monthly Performance Review Meeting with each BDTM via Outlook meeting invitation. Meeting details: 

  • Chris will tell you the date that all reviews have to be completed by, so schedule in advance of that deadline. You can spread out all your calls as much as you want based on your schedule as long as they are completed by the due date. 
  • 15 minutes is typically enough time, but if they're in risk of SSP, schedule a 30-minute call. 
  • Include Jim Tarnai as an attendee in any review meeting where a team member is at or below 65% for the rolling 4-month KPI. 

5. Begin the Monthly Performance Review meeting: 

  • Confirm that the BDTM has your email and their numbers on their screen so they can follow along as you discuss 
  • If BDTM is in first 3 months On Track Plan:
    • Did they reach that month's target?
    • Review what they are responsible for as part of the On Track plan
  • Read results for the current month, usually listed in green 
    • How many leads 
    • How many DFUs 
    • How many facilitations  
    • How all those metrics contribute to their KPI and LPI 
  • Read and discuss the 4-month rolling numbers. "What those metrics do for your 4-month is ____.” 
  • Let them know what month is dropping off (usually in orange) meaning those numbers aren’t going to be affecting the averages next month. If their number is in red, it’s going to help their average, but if that number is high and others are low, it’s going to lower their averages. 
  • After those basics, review what the numbers mean for them 
    • When that month drops off, is it a positive or negative for them, or will it not change their trend? 
    • If negative, go over what it means for current month; could potentially be on SSP if you have a KPI of x (minimum level)  
    • Then go over what they need to do so it doesn’t happen 
  • Discuss the positive and negatives in performance on campaigns they’re assigned 
    • What have they done well at? (Examples: list development, pitch, phone call attitude) 
    • What hasn’t been going well/areas to improve (Examples: getting dials in, pitch, list development, messaging with a specific product)  
  • Discuss any general concerns (Examples: “Great job calling into Canada, but need to improve on US campaigns.” “You excelled on a particular campaign that contributed to your success, but it is ending soon so you need to improve on other campaigns to keep your numbers up.”)  
  • Ask the BDTM what they need to help them to achieve their goals. Examples may include: 
    • Requesting to work with Jim for coaching 
    • Work on different campaigns  
    • What their goals next month (certain KPI, # of dials) 
  • Ask the BDTM to send a follow-up email with these requests to ensure you can coordinate support for them. Conclude the meeting. 

6. Complete the review in ADP following process outlined here: https://www.tslmarketing.com/tsl-internal-resource-creating-a-performance-review-in-adp 

7. Once the BDTM sends in any requests to help their performance, help them coordinate applicable support.
