  • More clarity into the behaviors of my individual CSMs in terms of how they turn-around on our CTAs.
  • Real insight into the usage of our customers, giving us the ability to respond in a really positive way.
  • MUCH, MUCH better renewal process management and compliance for the entire team.

  • Increased training ramp up for new CuSMs.
  • Increased efficiency as end users now do not have to look at multiple data sources and merge them together themselves. CTAs have allowed for monitoring of customers without human intervention.
  • Negative: Additional reporting outside of Gainsight needed as Gainsight is not able to provide reporting across multiple objects. We had originally expected to do a lot of executive level reporting to be made available in the tool.
  • Positive: More people are beginning to think about what kind of analytics is possible now that the data is merged.
  • Negative: Without a admin level access and knowledge of the rules engine, end users cannot test their own theories or build their own custom reports.

  • Prior to Gainsight, we had to make our own Salesforce cases and manually keep up with customers using tasks. Now that we've successfully rolled out this platform, our jobs have become much more efficient and this allows us to spend more time with our customers.

  • Definitely increased employee efficiency. The health score and alerts have enabled our CSMs to have better visibility into at risk customers and prioritize their time accordingly.
  • Better Customer service. The CSM has everything they need to know about a customer at hand before calling, so they are better prepared for calls/appts.

  • We don't have great numbers to share yet, but Gainsight has helped us become more responsive to customer actions and needs. We're driving toward higher product adoption (active use), increased employee efficiency, and retention.

  • Management awareness, oversight, and confidence in customer health.
  • Continues to prompt important internal discussions about how we want our CSMs to be interacting with, and prioritizing, their customers.
  • CSM awareness of customer health 'red flags' that they wouldn't have otherwise noticed.

  • Once we complete the instrumentation of our Customer Journey Map key activities, this will have a pretty massive impact on ROI. We have projections on CS efficiencies (20% over a 24 month period) based on this, as well as we will be able to measure the velocity of adoption. So not only will we get customers to adopt the solution faster, but Gainsight will end up being a governance engine to ensure we work in a consistent manner.
