Metrics & Team
Success metrics (what “winning” means)
- ✅ Renewal rate — retention of multi-year district agreements is the headline metric.
- ✅ Depth of relationships — number of deep, multi-threaded relationships per district (multiple people engaged inside each account), not logo count or raw lead volume.
This is a depth-over-volume program. The scoreboard rewards going wider within won accounts and keeping them, more than adding new names.
Implied supporting metrics (🔎 confirm)
- Committee coverage per account (stakeholders engaged / total committee) — operationalizes “depth.”
- Reference-district count and referrals/board-endorsements generated (fuels the peer halo).
- Expansion within district (schools added, scope expanded).
- Qualified board-presentation invites (signature channel → leading indicator of late-stage deals).
Operating model
- ✅ 2 existing AEs pointed at this motion.
- ✅ Maybe 1–2 BDRs added.
- ✅ OffDeck = strategy + technical execution (this team builds the system, playbooks, tooling).
- 🔂 Division of labor (🔎 proposed): BDRs work signal-triggered outreach + qualification; AEs run the 6–12mo committee sell, board presentations, and renewals; OffDeck builds the account list, signal automation, proof system, and HubSpot orchestration.
What the team size implies for design
- Low-overhead tooling. A 2-AE / 1–2-BDR team can’t run heavy manual ops — the signal capture, list building, and proof packaging must be largely automated (leans on HubSpot + n8n + the existing stack).
- Prioritization is critical. With few reps and a 6–12mo cycle, the named list must be tightly tiered so effort lands on the highest-probability, in-window accounts.
- Renewal motion needs to be designed, not assumed — since renewal is the headline KPI, there must be an explicit play (cadence of outcome reporting to leadership/board) owned by someone.
Open threads
- ❓ Concrete targets/numbers for renewal rate and relationships-per-district.
- ❓ Capacity math: how many active named accounts can 2 AEs realistically carry through a 6–12mo cycle? (drives list size)
- ❓ Who owns the renewal/outcome-reporting cadence — AE, OffDeck, or the platform?
