  • Boosts employee efficiency: We are able to create playbooks that explain exactly what we're looking for our CSMs to do.

  • Customer retention and satisfaction have definitely increased, unfortunately due to some other circumstances the numbers don't tell that story. But we see the results in our survey data, 25% improvement year over year in NPS scores.
  • CSM have a much more strategic role with customers now, they've transition from being more Support oriented to being focused on client partnership, working on regular basis to help customer cut cost and improve operational efficiencies using our platform
  • We have a much deeper insight into how our AMs and CSMs are managing their accounts, their activities, CTAs and program reminders or tech touch emails.

  • We've seen the most improvement in efficiency. As a result, we've been able to hire fewer employees for certain positions in Customer Success.
  • The Rules Engine in Gainsight has given us a way to quickly identify customers that might be having issues and require follow-up from CSMs proactively, whereas before we had no way other than being reactive.
  • We've been able to reduce staff time on activities that can be automated allowing contributors more time for more proactive or difficult workflows.

  • We have increased our on-time renewal percentage year-over-year through automated renewal outreaches and other processes. This has also increased efficiency of our renewals team.
  • We started offering executive business reviews in 2017 and Gainsight has given us the tools to deliver. Early feedback from customers is immensely positive in this area.
  • Our NPS survey implementation has offered us our first real, unfiltered feedback from customers. It also gave us a short list of advocates that we could leverage for our Marketing and Sales teams.

  • Ceridian prides itself on delivering the best customer experience through the XOXO Customer Success program and the other customer facing departments. Ceridian is regularly recognized as an industry leader for customer success program value to the organization. This program would not be possible without Gainsight.
  • Gainsight is used to proactively identify and take action on at risk accounts and this has given us a much better chance to save the account and reduce churn.
  • Gainsight's ability to create a health score from several objective factors has allowed Ceridian to systematically identify potential reference customers who in turn engage prospects to drive additional revenues.

  • Gainsight has helped us to scale our success operations to become much more efficient. While our customer base has grown exponentially, the Success team has not needed to also grow exponentially because of the scalability Gainsight affords us.
  • Gainsight has also helped us to improve our visibility into customer usage data. Before we used Gainsight, we had no idea how our customers were actually using our product. Being able to track this information in a single place that is visible to our CSMs has allowed us to better understand customer behavior.
