What Winning Looks Like
- You maintain 90%+ gross revenue retention and consistently hit 110%+ net revenue retention across your book of business
- You don’t wait for clients to complain—you spot at-risk accounts early and execute save plans before churn indicators fully surface
- You run quarterly business reviews that clients actually look forward to—data-driven, strategic, and action-oriented
- You identify expansion opportunities organically: a client using one VA who could benefit from an SDR, or a growing team that needs specialized support
- You build trusted advisor relationships with C-suite executives and founders—they see you as a strategic partner, not just a service provider
- You own the full post-sale journey—from onboarding kickoff to renewal negotiation—with zero handoff gaps
- Your HubSpot is immaculate—account health scores are current, touchpoints are logged, and no renewal sneaks up on you
- You proactively communicate updates, service enhancements, and industry insights to your clients without being asked
- When escalations arise, you take ownership from intake to resolution and coordinate cross-functionally to deliver results
- You contribute to team knowledge—sharing playbooks, best practices, and client feedback that elevates collective capabilities
Who This Role Is NOT For
- You react to churn instead of preventing it—you wait for cancellation requests rather than monitoring leading indicators
- You need a manager to tell you which accounts to prioritize every day
- You treat renewals as administrative tasks rather than strategic conversations
- You avoid difficult conversations with clients about underperformance or misaligned expectations
- You don’t take the initiative to build relationships beyond your primary contact—if your champion leaves, the account is lost
- You approach customer success as a support role rather than a revenue-driving function
- You rely on gut feeling instead of data to assess account health and make strategic decisions
- You only follow established playbooks without developing your own creative approaches to retention and expansion
- You focus on activity metrics (calls made, emails sent) without connecting them to outcomes (retention, expansion, NPS)
- You have a pattern of short tenures (under 1 year) without clear, substantiated reasons for each transition
- You don’t have strong English proficiency for daily executive-level conversations with U.S.-based clients
- You don’t have a professional home office setup right now with high-speed internet (50+ Mbps), a professional headset, and a quiet environment
