  • In the first year, we did not focus on specific ROI metrics. Sentiment by most is that it is really helping with customer information and collaboration. Second year, we are focusing on ROI around, churn improvement and advocacy increase.

  • Since implementing Gainsight, we have decreased churn and increased net retention. This was also bolstered by updates to CS management but Gainsight was certainly helpful in driving the vision.
  • We've become much more process-oriented in our approach to renewals - less reactive and we start planning ahead of 90Days
  • We've segmented accounts more & helped sales to craft an ideal customer profile based on churn trends.

  • Increased upsell via Client Success Qualified Leads. We expect to see continued growth here through supplemental, focused lead gen efforts
  • Advocacy: we are in the process of rolling out initial advocacy tracking. Our expectations are that this will drive additional revenue and case studies across the business

  • We have had a flat headcount on our CSM team while nearly doubling the number of clients supported by CSMs.
  • We have increased our upsell opportunities by efficiently identifying and automatically messaging clients that need more licenses.
  • We have driven client retention higher by identifying risk in the client base via the integration of usage data and other client factors.

  • Gainsight has allowed us to holistically understand the health of our accounts which is something we have always struggled with.
  • Gainsight has also allowed us to drive CSM efficiency with the use of the tool as well as give them more insights into their BoB's with the use of customized reporting which has helped them prioritize their renewals and decrease churn.
  • Gainsight has allowed us to bring together our Sales and CS department to become partners on their accounts rather than singularly managing it.

  • One of Gainsight's key functionalities is called CoPilot. This product we use regularly for client communications as well as sending out NPS and CSAT surveys. Our number of responses to surveys has increased by 1500% due to the cleanliness of the surveys, ease of use in creating the list of clients we need to send the surveys out, and the unique cadence we can set the survey emails to be sent on.
  • By using the data integration feature we are able to see when a client is getting close or going over their contracted user limits. With that we have an action set up to be triggered when this contract threshold is met. The action triggers a notification that goes to an account manager letting them know its time to reach out to the client. This has saved our account managers a lot of time by them not having to go run manual reports with this data in it. Instead the notification comes to them so they can reach out as soon as possible.

  • We can do more with less headcount by using Gainsight. Our CSMs can manage a larger number of customer because of the automation and proactive notification functionality.
  • Our Growth & Renewals Account Executives receive immediate notification of accounts in an "overage" billing state. This allows us to consolidate those overages into a new contract more effectively, which saves our customers money.
  • Lifecycle management has made it possible for us to be sure we are contacting customers at relevant touchpoints. This helps our customers be more successful with our tool and ensures they feel supported.
