  • We hope that we will be able to view customer data from 3 different sources in one place - but we are not there yet.
  • We have linked several sponsors and hope to be able to manage churn and identify prospects through the Sponsor Tracking feature.
  • We should be able to automate some routine tasks in the near future.

  • While our implementation is over, we are still in what I would call an implementation stage. Gainsight is powerful but takes a lot of time to configure in a meaningful way. It takes a lot of time to receive actual value from the tool.

  • Gainsight provides highlights as well as details that are very helpful in determining the health of the existing accounts. This information help us focus on success criteria to ensure the highest possible renewal and growth within our accounts.

  • While I cannot speak on specific ROI, Gainsight has been a great tool for us. It is well received by our users and business leaders. Our leadership team is very interested in making it available to other business units. The only reason why we haven't done that is because of the condition of our internal database still being worked on.

  • Definitely faster lead conversion and onboarding experiences.
  • Automation of onboarding after a sale is won has been key - a customer will experience onboarding and training based on automated rules that send out our branded emails to customers immediately after a sale has closed.
  • Giving transparency to our teams within our organization relating to customers is HUGE.
  • Our employees are much more efficient because they know where to look for customer-related data, especially if one employee is covering the workload of another due to employee churn or vacation, etc.
  • Communicating customer success to the executive level has never been easier and ROI is transparent when the executives can see Gainsight C360 views as well as reports generated.

  • We were prepared to spend a fair amount to use a survey tool, so simply saving that money was significant.
  • The upcoming Co-pilot feature, being released this month, will help reduce time we will need to work with our Marketo team to distribute emails.
  • As move to leverage the Health Score, it will help us define at-risk accounts faster, and help resolve issues and get the customer back on the right path.

  • We have been able to move the needle by 10% since we began using Gainsight. It is not he only reason for this but it is a big part of our increased performance.
  • Having one place to go for data has made us more efficient which has freed up time for helping customers.
