At a small agency of 35 ppl, I got a bonus of 4%. Current agency is 100ish, and bonus the last three years was 10%, but that is really uncommonly high I think.

likeuplifting

Curious: 4% of what? Of agency net or gross? Of your salary? Of billings for the Accts you work on? Of something else?

The last small company I worked at, the C suites made a big deal calling us in a room individually and gave each staff member an envelope... We had an incredible year so I was all excited that it might be a good amount. Boy was I wrong! The envelope had a holiday card (in thick card stock too so it made the envelope heavy and full of hope) with all the c suites signatures on it.

Did you sign the back and give it back to them? With a "holiday message"?

We once got a $10 grocery gift card from our VP who then flew to Hawaii with his bonus.

Same. Definitely feeling grateful as well. We weren’t expecting to get bonuses this year and they just announced them recently. It came as a shock, but also made me happy to hear were clearly doing well enough as an agency to continue with bonuses. Made me curious about other agencies and their bonus policies during COVID and before.

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!
