Gainsight is being used by the customer success department to keep track of our clients during their life cycle. We use it to track their success and health as a business partner and keep track of how engaged they are and how much they're using the platform.

Gainsight is a crucial component of Client Success and Sales organizations. Serving as a central hub where any member of any team can get tabs on the current status and health of an account, Gainsight has increased the efficacy of the way we do business.

We are in process of rolling Gainsight out to anyone in the organization in leadership or a client facing role. One we've fully implemented Gainsight we will have about 50% of our employees using Gainsight. Gainsight allows us to more systematically service our client, ensuring that we have standard play books for all of the common issues we run into, as well as, allowing insight into potential problems (e.g. drops in usage) before they have a chance to be detrimental to the relationship.

We currently use it to help manage the customer lifecycle for all of our customers. Currently we use it across the customer success organization but are looking to give others access to continue to drive value from the product for our organization. The primary business problem it addresses is scaling the customer success team as the company and the customer base grows.

Gainsight is currently used by our CSM team to manage account CTAs, to get insight on contract and feature usage, as well as to prep for customer meetings. Using Gainisight has allowed CSMs to gain access to data which was previously held in three different systems. Our consultant team also have started working with Gainsight to monitor the onboarding of new customers. We are also exploring new avenues of use with our marketing team.

We currently implementing and using the product within the customer success organization. It is our intention to allow the sales organization to access certain aspects of Gainsight as well, however we are not ready for that yet. We are currently using the product to better align our activities with the information already contained in Salesforce, and we need a common repository for the tasks common to our roles so that we can easily track and report on progress. Additionally, we are using the product to track and automatically act on usage data of our SaaS products. This is key to our strategy so that we can scale to a larger number of customers and still ensure we are focusing on the right customers at the right time.

We are currently using Gainsight for 360 degree views of our customers. In addition to usage data we also have subjective metrics, support engagement, NPS scores, and onboarding/PS project status as factors in the overall health of each customer. Gainsight is also used heavily for customer success execution among our CSMs. Based on a variety of actions in the system, CTAs (Calls to Actions) get triggered and are assigned to the appropriate CSM. This allows each CSM to have a prioritized list of timely action items to help guide engagements with customers. Lastly, we are using Gainsight for managerial and executive level reports, dashboards, and for our code red process.

We currently use Gainsight to manage a book of business. We focus on the healthcare industry and our accounts are different medical offices/corporations. We use data that will trigger product usage and based on the CTA that fires we act accordingly to help individual practices grow their businesses by cutting back on financing charges.

We are using Gainsight to track next steps with customers, monitor the overall health of a book of business, and automate the processes. Gainsight is only rolled out to the Customer Success Department. It allows us to see a snap shot of health for each account and automate certain processes.

Procore currently utilizes Gainsight within our customer success organization. Implementation has been on the slower side, but we are now beginning to see the value of the software. We strive on time to first value with our clients and think Gainsight will ultimately help us pull the right levers at the right time to ensure our clients are successful. For our large existing customer base, Gainsight will play a crucial role to notify us of what we deem are important events, all in an automated fashion.

Gainsight is being used by the Client Success team to manage our client base. We are monitoring simple usage metrics, but we have also implemented financial tracking to provide overall health scores for our clients.

Gainsight is used by the Customer Success Team to manage workflow and to help build and provide analytics and a complete view of customer health. The 360 view of the customer lets a CSM prepare for a customer interaction in a very short time. The efficiencies gained allow us to increase the number of customers that a single CSM can handle. The analytics and dashboards allow us to be much more proactive with the customer which helps us help the customer get to first value with our products and ensure continued success.

Gainsight was originally purchased to allow our Customer Success team to become more proactive versus just answering emails and issues on a reactive basis. Since its launch, Gainsight has successfully allowed us to do just that. Whereas we attempted to make proactive calls as time allowed and hopefully hit the right person at the right time, we now are able to leverage many of Gainsight's amazing features (actions, scorecards, etc.) to inform us of when customers need to be called on proactively.
