I don't work directly with the group who provides this information to executives, however, I can see how this would provide very real insight and transparency into the stats an organization keeps on their clients and how we as a group (CSMs) are doing.

This is something of growing importance to us. Traditionally, this has not been something that we worried about, but our senior leaders have a growing interest. I feel that within the next year we will need to create and utilize processes to keep our executives aware of key accounts. I know that Gainsight has the tools to help us in this area.

Annual Recurring Revenue is the most important success metric for a SaaS organization. Gainsight provides insight into the customer experience from a granular account level view to a high-level overall business segment view for the C-suite. Customer Success managers are prompted with individual account level tasks while more senior managers and executives incorporate dashboards into their weekly routines to have real-time insight into the accounts delivering the ARR.

Extremely important for our executives to have visibility into an account. Our executives meet regularly with executives in our customer accounts and visibility into the information Gainsight holds is very important. They all use Gainsight Sally quite a bit on the road for quick insights. Gainsight is also very helpful during conference season when running into a customer unexpectedly and needing a quick download on what has been going on with the account recently.

Our organization requires customer reporting for all facets of our business. Customer success metrics help the executives understand where there is risk, where we are under pacing on time to value, and where we have risk in our customer base.

We provide the executives the reports directly out of Gainsight to help them understand these metrics, and using the software makes it very easy to get a day/month /quarterly view of the business.

Visibility is extremely important as we need to be able to check the pulse of the customer at any given time. Gainsight allows us to create scorecards for customers so we can prioritize which customers may need some extra love. We can also review account management and how they are working with their customers to ensure renewals and outreach are being addressed.

Customer Focus is our number one initiative. Each week at our Executive meetings our Gainsight dashboards are shown, our ELT is incredibly involved and supportive in making sure our customers are taken care of. Gainsight helps us provide real time customer temps to our leadership.

Reporting at my company is typically held within the operations and the VP levels. We are owned by a Private Equity and the Executive team doesn't have access into Gainsight but we do share our insights and current issues within the customer base. We use certain reports to display trends but that's as far as the executive team gets visibility.

It's extremely important. We are a very customer-36focused organization. We have started sharing 360 pages with them via an Executive program and our VP shares metrics from Gainsight with them, so accuracy is important.

This is an area we currently aren't leveraging Gainsight for, at least not well. Visibility into customer accounts is clearly critical for execs, but we have other SFDC reporting and dashboards set up that are leveraged today. We are in the process of creating an exec specific dashboard to track top accounts but are struggling to get them distributed. There is a strong legacy of SFDC reporting which makes execs using Gainsight for reporting challenging, as they don't use it for anything else - at least today. There is definitely a value prop. to have execs use Gainsight, but we're working through rep adoption first to have a more accurate system.

While there are MANY features of the software and we are still rolling them out in stages, the most heavily used one by our Executive Team is Dashboard. Both on the Customer side and the Internal side. Being able to view customer Data the way they wish to see it - and the permission to lock it down so only certain people or groups have a view - is amazing. The internal dashboard is also handy - it shows various statistics like the use of the software, number of licenses, etc.

I am currently the only executive using the platform, and I am logged in and utilizing the platform as a standard part of my day. I access the information via dashboards at times, but am more often reviewing individual client profiles and reviewing custom reports and dashboards we have created to manage our business.

Our executives use Gainsight at the widget level to view information on an account level. The account widget allows them to see everything they need to related to the account. This quick view is very helpful.

Our exec team loves Gainsight. They have quick and seamless visibility into all of our clients. The dashboards give a sniff test into overall health, and can easily be expanded upon in the account level updates. As long as each user is updating their respective accounts, there are no surprises that arise due to Gainsight's ability to make data actionable.
