Performance dashboard screenshots are internal. Need external validation of the revenue/user growth metrics themselves.
Quantify and explicitly link your specific actions as Head of Merchant Success to the commercial growth metrics.
As noted, salary must be exceptionally high at a national/international level, not just above a benchmark, to be strong MC support.
OC2:
Judging: Beyond invite/snapshots, evidence the prominence of the award/organization and how your judging contributes to advancing the tech field.
Community (Company C): Show evidence of your leadership role and how the community specifically advances the tech sector.
Mentoring: Screencaps/testimonials need to show how your mentoring advances the tech field (e.g., mentees creating innovative tech), not just career progression.
TV/Speaking/Articles: Provide credible metrics for platform reach/audience (beyond attendee count/visits). Ensure the content demonstrates thought leadership or significant insight advancing the field. Need external proof of you as the author/speaker.
OC3:
Reference letters are supporting, not primary evidence of impact.
Screenshots of designs/setups (Customer Journey, Support System) and operational metrics (+50 tickets, +100k articles) are process/development outputs, not proof of significant commercial/technical impact. Need evidence of quantifiable business outcomes (e.g., conversion, churn, cost savings) directly from your specific work.
Sales Pipeline/Leads evidence needs to quantify the value/conversion and contribution to significant commercial success, clearly linked to your individual actions.
Ensure impact shown is significant for the company and clearly attributable only to you, not team effort.
In general, I don’t get the details of what you mean in just the keywords you’ve mentioned. So I’m just going to address the bits I’m sure of. MC:
Ref letter is counted as one doc. The dashboard and news clipping will have to be separate one.
6 month payslips are redundant. Industry benchmark is fine but it’s subjective as to what %ile you stand at. You need to strengthen your MC beyond whatever you’ve mentioned.
OC2:
Online events don’t count. The reputation and reach of the events, mentorship programs etc matter and what you contributed through those.
OC3:
3x growth is fine but baseline matters. Again, you need to show attribution to yourself in the results (and/or through the letter) and how it contributed to the tech ecosystem you were working in.
MC: high salary is the weakest supporting document and is to be used only as a support. Just two MCs with one salary doc is not going to cut the mark.
OC2: online mentorships are not counted and it’s better to not show it as it’s specified in the criteria that it’s not valid. Ensure you show how the other mentorship is part of a structured program.
OC3: not sure what does the first evidence mean, it’s just a title and on its own doesn’t show any impact.
