The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at,
and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.
Task Completion Rate
The percentage of your assigned event tasks completed on time and to the required standard.
Target · 95%+ on-time completion for all tasks within your project plans.If you're managing speaker logistics for a conference, we'd expect 98% of speaker contracts, travel arrangements, and presentation uploads to be finalised by their deadlines.
Data Accuracy & Hygiene
How clean and accurate the attendee and lead data you collect and upload post-event is.
Target · 100% accuracy in lead list uploads to CRM, with zero duplicates or missing mandatory fields.After a local meetup, you upload 150 leads to Salesforce. We'd check that all email addresses are valid, company names are correct, and the 'event source' field is properly tagged.
Budget Line Item Tracking
Your ability to accurately track expenses against specific line items within your allocated event budget.
Target · All expenses recorded within 48 hours of purchase, with a variance of less than 2% against individual line items.You're given £5,000 for catering for a product launch. You'd track every invoice for food, drinks, and service, ensuring you don't overspend and can explain any minor differences.
Attendee Satisfaction (NPS for smaller events)
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) from attendees for the events or specific workstreams you own.
Target · Achieve an NPS of >30 for any event you lead end-to-end (e.g., webinars, small workshops).After a webinar you managed, 40% of attendees give a 9-10, 30% give 7-8, and 30% give 0-6. Your NPS would be (40-30) = 10. We're aiming higher than that!
Leads Generated (for owned events)
The number of qualified leads (MQLs) generated from the events you're responsible for.
Target · Generate 50+ MQLs per webinar series or 100+ MQLs per regional meetup.You run a series of four product demo webinars. If each generates 30 MQLs, you've hit 120 MQLs, exceeding the target for the series.
