Hello Sellers Community,

Whether you're just starting your journey as a service provider on Amazon or you're an experienced seller looking for a refresher, understanding our performance standards is crucial for your business success.

Let me share the key performance targets that every service provider needs to maintain:

• Customer Feedback Rating: 4.7 stars or higher
• Happiness Guarantee Claim Rate: 1% or less
• Negative Feedback Rate: 1% or less
• Cancellation Rate: 1% or less
• Reschedule Rate: 1% or less
• Outside Arrival Window: 10% or less
• Late Completion Rate: 1% or less

Meeting these targets is crucial as they directly impact your account status and job assignments. Your performance status will either be "Good Standing" (meeting all targets) or "Attention" (below one or more targets).

For our experienced sellers: What best practices have you developed to maintain these metrics? For those just starting: What questions do you have about meeting these standards?

Remember, consistently meeting or exceeding these targets can lead to more opportunities on the platform.

For more information please go to Account Management and Performance Targets for Services.

Best regards,

Josh
