Currently, our executive team is primarily leveraging Gainsight through Dashboards. We do have future plans to expand on this usage, but have not implemented anything yet. Visibility is increasingly important to our executive team to ensure the happiness and continued product adoption of our customers.

Very important, but, since we have a new slate of executives, they aren't using it right now. There is just too much on their plate currently, but I know this will be a powerful tool once the dust settles more from the acquisition.

We currently use three executive dashboards. One for our VP of Customer Success that has global CS performance metrics (renewals, calls to action, risks, etc...), one for our CTO to steer our weekly renewals discussion, and another for our VP of Customer Service to present to the board of directors on a quarterly basis (last one isn't 100% complete, but on the way)

It is extremely important, and before Gainsight, our data was difficult to stream through. Several different platforms, lacking in notes and data required to perfect every client interaction. Gainsight provides access to all centralized data in single page layouts with trends, graphs and analytics!

This is huge but it can become a negative if our users are not keeping the system up-to-date. A few times, our CEO has heard about a red customer and then has logged in and it doesn't reflect the status he has heard about around the office. This is not a product issue, but a change management issue on our side.

This is an area where we still struggle. Gainsight's recent improvements on sharing are helping us out quite a bit. We have built a Customer 360 view for our executives, and we shared the slackbot (Sally) with them for quick data. Ultimately, we're still heavily reliant on Google sheets and emails to share information, but we're getting there. Gainsight has made huge strides here, but I'm excited for the next few releases to be able to really give our execs more visibility.

Executive Dashboards are very important to our organization because it helps each level of management be able to act/ address items. We have several dashboards created for each user role from CSAs, CSMs, managers, and executives. We are quickly able to develop these and demonstrate what is essential for a team to adhere to business objectives.

Visibility into customer accounts is paramount for executive at our organization. Executives review and send performance and renewal dashboards out to the Customer Success organization on a weekly basis and base many of their forecasting and resourcing decisions based on these reports.

Very important - executives look at this information regularly as we're forecasting our revenue; also management frequently reviews the progression of events in understanding account health trends or trying to figure out what we could have done differently.

NPS surveys are part of our compensation plan & our product team reviews the feature requests on a quarterly basis to prioritize product roadmap.

Executive view into customer accounts (and customer success in general) is extremely import at our company. With dashboards customized for our executive team they're able to get a quick view of the accounts that are healthy and how product adoption is trending across both healthy and unhealthy accounts. Gainsight has made it a lot easier to surface important customer success metrics to our executives.

Very important. We utilize a dashboard for our operations and executive leadership teams that focus on high risk accounts and renewals. Everyone on the operations team has a license and logs in to view accounts they sponsor for our business.

Visibility is very important. Executives look at usage reports and will target those accounts for certain communications. It helps them understand upcoming renewals and an account's overall status.

We implemented a section called Executive Summary which our leadership team has requested to find out the most important information about a customer.

Visibility into client health is our priority with the platform. Gainsight makes it easy to combine disparate data sets like NPS responses, Opportunities, primary account contacts, and more into dynamic dashboards, reports and UI views that allow us to quickly resolve risks and find new sales opportunities. We could not survive without them.

Visibility into accounts is extremely important to our executive members and was one of the main reasons we decided to make the investment into buying Gainsight. Specifically when it comes to upcoming renewals or lapsed accounts, we leverage the data in Gainsight to give the executive members visibility into where an account stands pre and post renewal.
