  • We also focus on the success and growth of recently signed accounts at 30/60/90/120 days.
  • We also want to measure the efficiency of CS processes to improve scalability.

  • Increasing NPS. Our NPS score in the past year has increased exponentially, and Gainsight has made that possible with their Journey Orchestration feature.
  • Identify churn risk customers via automated rules and CSM task creation. This allows us to also forecast churn on a monthly basis, which helps give executives an idea of where our touch clients are headed.
  • Helps us with customer success qualified leads (CSQL) creation, which then in turn automatically creates an opportunity for the account manager. Seamless integration (with some quirks) has made this process fluid.

  • Improve retention - we've definitely seen this within our mid-market and scale portfolio.
  • System of record - this is our point of truth for our clients and vitally important to our business.
  • Increase NPS - clients no longer fall through the cracks. With their automated outreach and oversight into our client engagements, we no longer feel like we've missed a client.

  • By building a detailed Health Score, CSMs have been able to see where improvements can be made within their customer base. Since doing so, the overall customer health score has improved by 5 points within one quarter.
  • CSMs are encouraged to log "Customer Highlights" on the Timeline. These logs are then shared with Customer Marketing to create a bank of potential case studies, customer quotes, etc.
  • With the help of the Report Builder and Dashboards, CSMs have a clear view into how they should be prioritizing their day, whether that means looking at the Renewals Dash to see what upcoming renewals are in risky stages, or diving into the health score report to see who is in the red.

  • Improve the ease of use in viewing standardised product usage in one platform rather than logging into another system. Become more proactive rather than reactive.
  • Automation and centralisation of customer information has improved efficiency by at least 50% and enabled others to be able to find information more easily.
  • Removed subjective and manual health scoring which was a cumbersome manual process for the team.

  • Health Scores have changed how we prioritize our clients, escalate risks, and evaluate ways to take action to improve our NPS scores.
  • We've evolved our usage of CTAs to be more intentional in highlighting specific actions as a result of key milestones.
  • Automated emails through Journey Orchestrator make it easy to automate our renewal process for organizations who will likely auto-renew (and not renegotiate their terms).

  • We have used Gainsight to increase knowledge transfer across internal people managing accounts.

  • Identify clients that are likely to churn and prompt the AM to proactively reach out, leading to improved retention.
  • Uncovered accounts with upsell potential based on usage.
  • Improved employee efficiency with CTAs.
  • Increased NPS score.

  • New CS reps are more easily onboarded, because they can follow CTAs while onboarding, and helping, customers. This in turn has had a positive impact of retention and NPS.
  • GS helps us visualize product usage that is easily associated with data from SF, like Contacts and Accounts.
  • We feel like we have a pretty good model that indicates churn risk 2 months in advance, so that we can be proactive and outreach before they cancel.
