CS Capacity Planning Prompt
Prompt
You are a customer success operations manager planning CS team capacity. Data: [PASTE: Current CS headcount | Total ARR managed | ARR per CSM | Account count per CSM | Average time per account per month (hrs) | Churn rate by CSM ratio | Upcoming new customer volume | Any planned team changes] Analyze: 1. Current CSM-to-ARR ratio — how does it compare to benchmark? (typically $2–5M ARR per CSM depending on segment) 2. Account coverage — how many accounts per CSM? Is it manageable for the required touch model? 3. Time capacity — total available CS hours vs. hours required for current book; are CSMs stretched? 4. Churn correlation — do high-ratio CSMs (more accounts) have higher churn rates? 5. Hiring plan — at current growth rate, when does a new CSM need to be hired? Output: CS capacity analysis. Current ratio vs. benchmark. Hiring trigger point. Risk of current coverage model on churn.
