SayPro Feedback/Action Plan: Corrective Actions to Address Performance Gaps

The SayPro Feedback/Action Plan is a formal document used to address performance gaps identified in the evaluation process. It outlines the specific corrective actions to be taken, assigns responsibility, sets timelines, and defines success metrics. This plan is essential for ensuring that performance issues are addressed promptly and that there is a clear path forward for improvement.

1. Overview of Performance Gaps

• Summary of Key Performance Issues
  (Describe the key performance gaps or underperformance issues identified during the evaluation. These may include sales shortfalls, customer service inefficiencies, missed KPIs, financial challenges, etc.)
  • Example: “The sales team failed to meet the quarterly revenue target by 10%, and the customer satisfaction (CSAT) score dropped from 90% to 85%. Lead generation was also lower than expected, falling short by 16%.”

---

2. Root Cause Analysis

• Identify the underlying causes for the performance gaps
  (Provide a detailed analysis of why the performance issues occurred. This may involve internal processes, resource limitations, external factors, or strategic misalignment.)
  • Example:
    • Sales Revenue Shortfall: “The sales revenue was lower than expected due to an insufficient number of qualified leads. The sales team was not fully utilizing the new CRM system, leading to missed opportunities.”
    • Customer Satisfaction Drop: “The decrease in CSAT scores was attributed to longer response times and unresolved customer complaints that were not prioritized.”

3. Corrective Actions

• Specific actions to be taken to address each performance gap
  (Outline the corrective steps or changes needed to close the performance gap. Each corrective action should be clear, actionable, and aimed at improving the identified issue.)

Sales Revenue Shortfall	1. Revise lead qualification process to better align with high-conversion leads.	Sales Manager	1 month	Improved conversion rates and revenue growth.
	2. Provide additional training on CRM usage to the sales team to increase lead follow-ups.	Sales Manager	2 weeks	Increased lead conversion through better CRM use.
Customer Satisfaction Drop (CSAT)	1. Hire additional customer service agents to improve response times.	Customer Service Lead	2 months	Reduced response times and higher CSAT scores.

4. Action Plan for Immediate and Long-Term Solutions

• Immediate Solutions (Short-Term)
  (Outline the corrective actions that will be implemented immediately to address urgent performance gaps.)
  • Example:
    • Short-Term: “Re-train the sales team on the CRM system and establish daily check-ins to ensure leads are being followed up on promptly. Additionally, increase the marketing spend on PPC campaigns for the next month to drive more qualified traffic.”
• Long-Term Solutions (Sustained Actions)
  (Describe the actions that will be taken over a longer period to prevent similar issues from arising again and to build a sustainable improvement model.)
  • Example:
    • Long-Term: “Establish a quarterly review process for the sales team to track progress on lead conversion rates, and implement a monthly customer satisfaction survey to continuously monitor and address service issues proactively.”

5. Success Metrics

• Define measurable success criteria for each corrective action
  (Clearly outline the success metrics that will be used to track progress and determine whether the corrective actions are working.)

Corrective Action	Success Metric	Target/Goal	Timeline to Achieve Goal
