Management Playbook

Our North Star

Customer Success is the North Star for every role, decision, and priority. It means: protecting and growing managed revenue, delivering clear and confident communication, providing strategic insight that builds trust, and creating stable, scalable client relationships.

The Organizational Philosophy

Tiger Tracks' leadership model prioritizes:

  • Ownership over tasks and outcomes
  • Clear expectations over assumptions
  • Fast feedback over delayed course-correction
  • Simplicity over bureaucracy
  • Coaching over directing
  • High performance with humanity
  • Customer success above everything

What It Means to Be a Manager Here

You are accountable for five outcomes:

OutcomeWhat It Means
ClarityYour report knows what success looks like, why it matters, and how it ties to customer success
CommunicationInformation flows down (expectations, priorities) and up (risks, blockers) early
CoachingYou develop people through structured touchpoints - weekly tactical, monthly coaching
ConsistencyYour report experiences a predictable rhythm. Calm comes from routine
QualityYou ensure work is client-ready and meets Tiger Tracks standards

You are NOT expected to:

  • Act as a therapist
  • Spend hours a week in 1:1s
  • Resolve every problem personally
  • Carry all the workload yourself

You ARE expected to:

  • Set expectations early
  • Provide direction and guardrails
  • Give feedback quickly (not late)
  • Delegate appropriately
  • Escalate early
  • Develop people over time

Leadership tone: Warmth + Standards (clear, direct, supportive, customer-first)

The Pod Model

Pods are designed to have clear reporting lines, maintain healthy manager ratios (1โ€“2 direct reports per layer), stay intact as the business grows, and flex cross-functionally during high-volume periods.

Pods are benches, not families. When someone levels up, they move to a new bench. The existing bench stays intact. Open roles are backfilled intentionally. Growth is based on business need and performance, not tenure alone.

Role Swim Lanes

As you move up, you shift away from tactical execution and toward strategic leadership:

RoleFocus
ACPipeline + execution support. High coaching needs.
ASIn-platform performance, optimization, insights, testing. Delegates to ACs.
AMTier 3โ€“4 communication, workflow, reporting, QA. Manages downward.
Sr AMTier 2โ€“3 client experience. Coaches AMs. First escalation point.
ADTier 1โ€“2 strategic leadership. Revenue, narrative, QBRs, performance reviews.
โš™๏ธ

Delegation Principles

The #1 Delegation Rule: Issue Commands, Don't Ask

Stop asking "Who has bandwidth?": This leads to imbalanced workloads. The same people volunteer every time and the same people hide behind "busy."

โŒ Don't Say

  • "Who has bandwidth to help with ____?"
  • "Who has time to create XYZ deliverable?"
  • "When can you have this done by?"

โœ… Do Say

"Bruno, I need XYZ done by EOD today. Please email me the draft by 4pm so I can review and share feedback before shipping to client."

Why this matters: Being "busy" is synonymous with working, everyone is busy every day. The real question is: what are they busy with, and is it the best use of their time?

When They Push Back, That's a Good Thing

When you issue a clear command and the person says they don't have bandwidth, this is not a problem, it's an opportunity.

Ask genuinely: "What higher-priority work do you have today that's getting in the way?"
This is NOT a "gotcha" question. This is you learning about their priorities and where your delegated work stacks up.

The Prioritization Conversation

You are now engaged in a highly productive prioritization conversation: and a teaching moment. Two outcomes:

๐Ÿ“Œ Their work is lower priority

Issue a clear command: "I need you to deprioritize that in favor of this more urgent work." You can and should reprioritize your team's time to focus on high-priority work. This is you helping your team win.

โœ… Their work is actually higher priority

Great, now you know! Reassign the task or adjust the deadline. You've had a productive conversation either way.

โš ๏ธ Watch for the "Calendar Shield"

Often, a lack of bandwidth is not about prioritization at all. Some team members use whatever is on their calendar, regardless of what it is, as an excuse to avoid taking on delegated work.

Key insight: They may not realize this practice will actually hurt them long term. It signals a lack of flexibility, initiative, and team orientation, all of which are critical for advancement.

As a manager, it's your job to identify when this is happening and coach through it, not let it slide. A simple "Walk me through your calendar today" can surface the reality quickly.

Delegation Checklist (Quick Reference)

  1. Define the outcome: What does "good" look like?
  2. Issue the command clearly: Name, deliverable, deadline. No ambiguity.
  3. Clarify ownership: "You own this from start to finish."
  4. Check understanding: "Repeat back what you're delivering and by when."
  5. Define check-in level: None (autonomy) / One (accountability) / Multiple (coaching)
  6. Provide context or links
  7. Invite pushback: "What could get in your way?" (then have the prioritization conversation)
  8. Confirm priority level
  9. Log it in your manager notes

Escalation Principles

When to Escalate

  • Risk of delay
  • Repeated quality issues
  • Client tension
  • Workload imbalance
  • Missed expectations
  • Behavioral issues
  • Anything that threatens customer success or managed revenue growth
Escalate early, not when it's urgent. If a problem has been escalated twice without resolution, the team member can bring it to the next level.

Escalation Path

AS โ†’ AM โ†’ Sr AM โ†’ AD โ†’ Leadership

Any level โ†’ HR for behavior, repeated underperformance, documentation needs, harassment, or discrimination.

Evaluating Performance: The 3 C's

CQuestion
CompetenceIs the work accurate, strategic, and client-ready?
CommunicationAre updates timely, clear, and proactive?
ConsistencyAre they reliable day-to-day and week-to-week?

When a report is struggling:

  1. Clarify the expectation
  2. Provide examples of good vs. not-good
  3. Create a simple improvement plan (1โ€“3 items)
  4. Follow up weekly using MOS
  5. Escalate if it doesn't improve

Manager Culture

Managers contribute to a culture of:

  • Psychological safety + high performance
  • Transparency
  • Accountability with compassion
  • Direct communication without harshness
  • Growth and development
  • Ownership at every level
  • Predictable routines
We care deeply about people and about the quality of work. This hybrid tone is the backbone of our leadership philosophy.

Company Culture Standards

๐Ÿ”บ The Problem-Solving Pyramid

At Tiger Tracks, how you surface problems matters just as much as spotting them. We expect every team member to climb the pyramid, don't just flag issues, bring solutions.

5 MOST HELPFUL
4
3
2
1 LEAST HELPFUL
1

"There is a problem." Then you walk away.

You flag it and leave someone else to deal with it. This adds work to your manager's plate without contributing anything.

๐Ÿšซ TT Example: "Hey, the client's ROAS dropped.": No context, no investigation, no ownership.
2

"There is a problem, and I've found some causes."

You've started digging but stopped short of solutions. Better than Level 1, but still leaves the heavy lifting to someone else.

โš ๏ธ TT Example: "Client ROAS dropped 30% this week. I think it's because CPCs spiked on the brand campaigns and the new audience targeting isn't converting."
3

"Here's the problem, here are some possible causes, and here are some possible solutions."

Now you're contributing real value. You've diagnosed and are offering paths forward.

โœ… TT Example: "Client ROAS dropped 30%. CPCs spiked on brand + new audiences aren't converting. We could: (A) pause the underperforming audiences and reallocate budget, (B) tighten keyword match types on brand, or (C) A/B test new creative on the prospecting campaigns."
4

"Here's the problem, what I think caused it, possible solutions, and here's the one I recommend."

You've done the analysis AND formed a recommendation. Your manager just needs to approve or adjust.

๐Ÿ’ช TT Example: "Client ROAS dropped 30%, CPCs spiked on brand and new audiences aren't converting. I recommend we pause the 3 lowest-performing audiences immediately and shift that budget to our top-performing lookalikes. I'll also queue new creative variants for next week. Can I go ahead?"
5

"I identified a problem, figured out the cause, researched how to fix it, and I fixed it. Just keeping you in the loop."

Full ownership. You solved it and informed your manager after the fact. This is what senior operators do.

๐Ÿ† TT Example: "Heads up, client ROAS dipped 30% yesterday. CPCs spiked on brand from a competitor bidding on our terms. I already negated the competitor terms, paused the 3 weakest audiences, reallocated $2K to top-performing lookalikes, and submitted new creative. ROAS is already recovering. Client update going out at 3pm."

Why This Matters at Tiger Tracks

Our clients pay us to be the experts. They don't want to hear "there's a problem", they want to hear "we spotted it, we fixed it, here's what's next." The pyramid isn't just internal culture, it's how we deliver client value.

๐Ÿ“ˆ For Account Teams

When performance shifts, don't wait for your manager to ask. Investigate, form a POV, and act. Client QBRs should showcase Level 4-5 thinking.

๐Ÿค For Managers

Coach your reports up the pyramid. When someone comes to you at Level 1-2, ask: "What do you think we should do?" Push them to Level 3+.

๐Ÿš€ For Career Growth

Consistently operating at Level 4-5 is one of the strongest signals for promotion readiness. It proves you can own outcomes, not just tasks.

๐ŸŽฏ More Real-World Examples

ScenarioLevel 1-2 โŒLevel 4-5 โœ…
Client churn risk "The client seems unhappy." "Client expressed frustration about reporting cadence. I've restructured their dashboard, moved to weekly automated reports, and scheduled a realignment call for Thursday. Sharing the updated report template with you for review."
Campaign launch delay "Creative assets aren't ready." "Creative is 2 days behind. I've pulled 3 proven ad variants from similar accounts as backups, briefed the design team on a rush timeline, and adjusted the launch plan to Phase 1 (proven creative Day 1) โ†’ Phase 2 (new creative Day 3). Client is aligned."
Budget pacing issue "We're overspending on this account." "Account is 15% over pace for the month. I've already pulled back daily budgets on the 2 campaigns driving the overspend, set automated rules to cap spend, and sent the client a pacing update with a recovery plan for the remaining 10 days."
New platform request "The client wants to try TikTok." "Client asked about TikTok. I researched their vertical's performance benchmarks, drafted a test-and-learn proposal with $5K budget, identified 3 competitor examples, and have a media plan ready for your review before I present to the client."

๐Ÿ“ Self-Check: Where Do You Typically Operate?

Be honest with yourself. Think about the last 3 times you brought a problem to your manager.

1-2
Problem flagger
Time to level up
3
Problem analyzer
Good, now recommend
4-5
Problem solver
This is the standard ๐Ÿ’ช
Goal: Every team member should be operating at Level 3 minimum, with senior team members and managers consistently at Level 4-5. If you're not there yet, talk to your manager about how to get there.

Micro-Training Modules

Module 1: Giving Feedback Quickly & Kindly

The Tiger Tracks 3-Step Feedback Model

  1. Observation: State what happened, factually.
    "Yesterday's performance update didn't include pacing context."
  2. Impact: Explain why it matters.
    "That made it hard for the client to understand what the numbers meant."
  3. Next Step: Give the future behavior you want.
    "Next time, add a 1โ€“2 sentence interpretation with each key metric."

Tone & Delivery Tips

  • Keep voice calm + warm
  • Assume positive intent
  • Don't apologize for giving feedback
  • Be direct but human
  • Give one note at a time
  • Praise publicly, course-correct privately

Phrases That Work

  • "One thing that would level this up isโ€ฆ"
  • "A small adjustment will make a big differenceโ€ฆ"
  • "To help you be successful hereโ€ฆ"

10 Ready-to-Use Feedback Scripts

TopicScript
Communication"Your updates are clear, but they're coming in later than we need. Moving forward, send them by 10am so the team can adjust plans."
Quality"The deliverable was 80% strong, but we need the data validated more thoroughly. Let's build a quick checklist you can follow before sending."
Proactiveness"If you see something that could impact revenue or performance, flag it immediately. Customer success is the bar."
Ownership"When something slips, I want to hear from you before the client does."
Prioritization"When many tasks hit at once, pick your top 2 and communicate them. I'll help with the rest."
Resourcefulness"Before coming to me, take 10 minutes to try solving it yourself. If still unclear, come to me with two possible options."
Delegation"When passing a task to the team, make sure you state ownership, deadline, and the expected outcome."
Meeting Readiness"Your client calls are solid. Next step is arriving with a 1-page agenda and expected outcomes."
Accountability"If we commit to a date, I need you to either deliver or flag early that it won't happen."
Emotional Regulation"When things get stressful, take a breath, assess the facts, and then respond with clarity. You set the tone."

Module 2: Delegation Without Micromanaging

Your job as a manager is not to do more, it's to elevate the team.

Micromanaging happens when the outcome isn't clear.
Laissez-faire happens when ownership isn't clear.
We want the middle: structured autonomy.

Common Delegation Mistakes

  • Over-explaining โ†’ micromanaging
  • Under-explaining โ†’ confusion
  • Assuming someone knows your standard
  • Assigning tasks without context
  • Delegating too much at once
  • Not aligning on "done", Fix: define DONE.

Module 3: Prioritization & Protecting Your Team

The Priority Pyramid

  1. Level 1: Client commitments: Anything promised with a date โ†’ non-negotiable
  2. Level 2: Account health: Pacing, performance, reporting
  3. Level 3: Internal tasks: Decks, analysis, documentation
  4. Level 4: Nice-to-haves: Stretch projects, optional improvements

When everything feels urgent, rank by:

  • Impact โ†’ Effort โ†’ Deadlines โ†’ Risk

Manager's Weekly Questions

  • "What's your #1 priority?"
  • "What deadlines are at risk?"
  • "What can we drop/defer?"
  • "Do you have capacity?"

Normalize renegotiating deadlines early. Managers must model this.

Module 4: Running Clean, Effective 1:1s

1:1s are the most important tool you have as a manager. They are not status meetings, they're coaching conversations.

MinutesFocus
1โ€“3Wins & Progress: "What went well this week?"
4โ€“7Priorities & Workload: #1 priority, deadlines at risk, capacity %
8โ€“11Coaching Moment: One clear piece of feedback (Observation โ†’ Impact โ†’ Next Step)
12โ€“14Support Needed: "How can I support you? What blockers?"
15Alignment: Summarize top 1โ€“2 priorities

What NOT to Do

  • Turn it into a status dump
  • Skip coaching
  • Make the meeting all about problems
  • Reschedule it weekly
  • Let them walk away unclear

Invoicing

Accounts Receivable Procedures

Receivables are billed as close to the first day of the month as possible, for the previous month. QuickBooks Online is being utilized for receivables. Recurring invoices are established and will be used for the invoice template for the month.

Account Manager Procedures

  • Account Managers use the Invoice Calculation Spreadsheet (ICS) for the month the revenue was earned to calculate the amount to appear on the invoice.
  • The amounts for each service managed are entered into the spreadsheet for each of their clients. Make sure to include all spend for each channel under TT management, including paused or deleted campaigns. When complete, this is initialed on the Summary Tab.
  • A secondary reviewer QA's the invoice. When complete, this is initialed on the Summary Tab.
  • Screenshots are used to verify the amount entered into the spreadsheet.
  • Invoice calculation percentages are updated if there is a change in the contract. Do not hard key numbers in any space that is not blue. Let the person invoicing know if there is an issue with the calculation.
  • If there is something to note for the invoicer (waiting on contact info, change in terms, unsure of calculator, wording change, etc.), highlight the tab in RED and on the summary page highlight the name in RED.
  • Completing the Invoicing Calculation workbook is due by the 2nd business day of the subsequent month and QA'd by the 3rd business day.
  • All general questions should be added to the #TT-client-invoicing channel.

New Client During the Month

If there is a new client during the month, the Primary adds Dawn DiPirro to the channel and provides the following information:

  • Invoice Calculation percentages and minimums (the contract)
  • Client name and physical address
  • Terms (how many days after the invoice is sent the invoice is due)
  • Email(s) to send the invoices

Client Churn During the Month

Calculate the amount due for the period of management on that month's invoicing sheet and let Dawn DiPirro know that an invoice needs to be sent to the client. Please do this as close to the churn date as possible.
