Insights from Pulse 2023: Verified Outcomes and Growth Mindset

 As a first time Pulse attendee, I have to say that Pulse did not disappoint! It was a jam packed week of sessions, customer meetings, meet and greets, Pulse puppies, etc. As a first time speaker for the CSM track (“Verified Outcomes and Success Plans”), I was able to witness the magic of Pulse in person! A few notes from my session that I spoke on: Do you currently have a value framework program at your company? If not, you can still apply the key parts of the “Outcomes Hypothesis” to help customers quickly identify and achieve value with your company.  Understanding our customer’s key value drivers (business challenges they are trying to solve for) is so essential. At Gainsight, we found that our customer’s with at least 1 verified outcome at 3 months prior to renewal had 30% higher GRR than customers without verified outcomes.  As CSMs, can we look at our BOB and identify each of our customer’s value drivers Value realization programs are designed to help you define how you are goin

We have to ensure we have insightful and powerful data to help our organization achieve their goals. But how does it all start. It almost feels like the right place to start is to look at our current data. Well, I am here to tell you, it starts even earlier than that.Think about your data prior it ever being created. Think about actionable objectives, you can do now to help curate data gold. As I mention in my session at Gainsight Pulse 2022, there are 3 main strategies I live and breath by. 1. THINK WIN-WIN-WIN SolutionsThis strategy is about ensuring everyone involved is winning. Think about your CSM needs, stakeholder needs and admin needs. Ask yourself key questions to help you understand how each player wins.Stakeholder: Can the business measure positive negative impacts to the customer through the data? Have you

Mobilize community to create career success -- Pulse Session Preview

It took the collision of three forces to move me from CS Ops to Community Management:I found that facilitating collaborative conversations was the 20% of my role that I wished were 80%, and I had opportunities to describe that to my boss, my boss’ boss, and my boss’ boss’ boss (aka our CEO). Gainsight’s customer admins started their own community meetups, which led to a Slack channel, in addition to the official Gainsight community, which demonstrated the depth of the energy and enthusiasm that was available. Senior management identified that the Gainsight market was hungry for more admins, to the degree that it was slowing down customers and prospects who were eager for that kind of expert systems consultant.I was the right person to pave the way for more people to get into a CS Ops or Gainsight Admin role, and to make people in the role more successful. I did it by creating resources and events that connected knowledgeable people to learners.You can do the same, for your admins or fo

Pulse wrapped - celebrating 10 years of Pulse!

Did you know that Pulse 2023 is our 10th year of Pulse? 🤯 Not only has Pulse continued to be part of our lives over many years now, it’s created a truckload of memories to hold onto forever! From meeting and learning from different people, to puppy adoptions, to a Taylor Swift impersonator (or maybe not? 😉), Vanilla Ice taking the stage, music parodies and so much more! So, we put together this trip down memory lane so we all can step into this year’s Pulse even more fired up, and closer together! 🤝🏽 I have to admit, I was really looking forward to the shoe count of  @nick_mehta 😉 I’m sure you’ve all had some really lovely memories from Pulse too!Would love to hear them from you! 👇 Don’t forget to have a wonderful time at Pulse 2023! ♥️

Networking at Pulse 2023!

Real humans! In person! I’m still finding that a delight (especially since I’m full-time remote). When we raised the curtain for networking at last year’s Pulse, we had dozens of people raise their hand before Pulse! So we wanted to get the ball rolling so that you can have the maximum possible number of rewarding, valuable, and delightful conversations when you’re in San Francisco.Comment below with your top interests for conversations you want to have at Pulse this year (digital CS, community management, exec reporting, etc.) so the people who are looking for you will find you!

Networking at Pulse: Fire up your LinkedIn QR Code

You know this scene: You’re at Pulse (or any other networking event, really), you’ve met someone new, and you’re going to connect on LinkedIn. Except it’s hard to spell the name, or there are 17 people with that name on LinkedIn or your thumbs get all nervous when typing “publicly”. So do this:LinkedIn has a QR code within that’s specific to you. You can show your code and they can take a picture with their camera. Or reverse the process: Show them how to display their code and you scan it with your camera.To find your code:Open the mobile LinkedIn app. At the top, tap in the search bar. Inside the right end of the search bar, a QR code icon will appear. Tap that QR icon. You can display your code, or switch to scan mode to gather someone else’s code.Happy networking, friends!

First timer at Pulse

I'm thrilled to attend my first Pulse event! I just joined Intelligage, a company that provides AI-powered customer success solutions. While I'll be working at our booth, I'm also eager to connect with everyone here. I've heard great things about the puppies, so they're definitely on my must-see list. If you have any tips (I have checked out the pro-tips), let me know. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Customer Education is the Core of Customer Success

Hey Everyone!First, I’m super thrilled to be back in the Gainsight community - as an Alum, it’s an honor to be invited to give a talk at Pulse. In 2022, Nick Mehta joined me on the CELab (Customer Education Laboratory) podcast to talk about education and enablement (Episode 76).  Our focus was to take a macro perspective on Customer Success today – where it’s at and where it’s headed – and question the role that Customer Education plays.  In that discussion, Nick presented shared how he considers education as being at the core of what we do in Customer Success and shared four (4) key areas - in SaaS - where we need to focus.  In this session we’re going to expand upon these topics and much more.  Join me as we:Talk about how Customer Education is “the Core” of Customer Success Understand Program Maturity - where are you at?   Growing your program - where are you headed?
