Value Realisation : Unleashing the Potential of In-App Guides for Seamless User ActivationBlog

When the new user joins the platform, there will be a set of expectations and enthusiasm to find what’s in the product. While the user is exploring things enthusiastically every empty state can enable the user to get started with the feature only when they understand the potential of the feature, we call it user activation and at Gainsight we drive activation using In-app guides seamlessly. How can we do that?1. Find the user you would like to enable and create new behaviors2. Define their persona and what matters to them the most3. Identify the product features and use cases that meet the user goals4. Demystify the complex use case scenarios into simple walkthroughs5. Solve the question “what’s next” and reduce friction to initiate the flows6. Keep track of the nudges and refine as you go7. Analyze the behavior via adoption trendsEvery product is built to solve multiple use cases for multiple personas. So while making a list of golden features, it’s important to identify who we are tr

Understanding your users better with Gainsight PX

Digital customer success is more than just creating automation or scalability. It's about creating  personalized & unique experiences for your customers by leveraging the power of automation in a scalable fashion. In order to create a personalized experience, we need to first understand more information about our end-user roles and the goals they hope to achieve using your product or service.Whilst this data can be defined by your customer success team manually, it is an ominous task and can be very difficult to maintain or get right. By leveraging the power of Gainsight PX, you have the opportunity to ask your customers for this information directly, both at the beginning of their journey and also at regular intervals. If done right, you will maintain an up-to-date record of their role and the goals they hope to achieve from using your product.To achieve this, we at Gainsight, recently launched a new in-app engagement using Gainsight PX to ask our users directly. How did we build

What are the best practices for how often to run rules for a health score?

We are currently revamping our health score and the person who set up our previous score had rules engine run every night for the health score. We are curious what other companies do, is it best practice to update your Health Score every day or is weekly appropriate? Any tips or tricks and suggestions on best practices here would be greatly appreciated.

@mention Timeline email links opens in Direct NXT.

Whenever client opens an @mention email of Timeline Activity or CTA Notification, It's opening with the full window of Gainsight NXT tab of Salesforce but he is not getting an option to switch to the other tabs of salesforce. This is happening because of the user irrespective of Classic/Lightning mode we are generating the Classic Link.

Conversation intelligence alongside Gainsight?

We are looking at obtaining an A.I. driven conversation intelligence platform, and I’m curious to know how this could play with Gainsight.   (i.e. is it possible to bring in customer sentiment from phone calls into Gainsight to help indicate Customer health?) If anyone has any experience with this or currently using Gainsight + an A.I. driven QA Platform, I’d love to chat!!

Cultivating Success: Ideas to measure engagement's impact?

Greetings, fellow Product Visionaries!Let's figure out how to check if your in-app engagements are really hitting the mark and giving value to your users. 1. Eyes on the ClicksFirst things first, let's look at the clicks. How many people are actually engaging with your messages or pop-ups? Think of it as checking how many folks took a bite of the delicious free samples you offered at your bakery. If people are clicking, it's a good sign they're curious and interested.Examples - If you are interacting with users using a1) Guide, then you can see the flow of users over the number of steps you have in the guide and completion rate.2) Slider, the you can see number of slides did the user view to number of people who completed the whole engagement3) Dialog, this engagement automatically marks as completed as it is pop-up and a single page, so seeing number of CTA’s received for this engagement makes more sense4) Emails, number of opens and number of button clicks should help you understand

Creating A Personalized, Welcome Guide With Gainsight PX

When you start using a new piece of software for the first time, you typically begin by looking around the user interface, discovering what parts are relevant to you, and thinking about how it can be used for your use case. As the team supporting that software, you may have a good idea of what features your users would find most useful, and perhaps even the use cases associated with them. That’s why it’s important to create a personalized welcome guide for your software to help your new users overcome the initial learning curve.In my recent blog post, I wrote about how you can understand your users better by leveraging Gainsight PX to collect the roles and goals of your users. With that information available, it’s time to start creating a personalized new user welcome guide.Here’s a sneak peek of what our finished guide looks like, and the steps you need so you can replicate it yourself:  Planning The first step of any great project is to start with a plan.

Trigger engagement if feature exists on a page

Hello, I’m hoping someone has some experience in this. We have a need to show different engagements based on different scenarios on a webpage. If a feature exists we want to show one engagement compared to another. I don’t want to trigger it based on if they click the feature but for it to show automatically on a page load. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Analyzing Adoption and Churn

  Let’s get real for a moment….. We all know that your users won’t see value in your product if they aren’t using it.  We also know that even if they are using it, that sentiment is critical💕;  i.e. is adoption high because they have to use your product every day? Adoption without sentiment will ultimately cause Surprise Churn which no one can afford during these tough economic times. (Read more here on Durable Growth)  My favorite analogy for this is 🏋Buying a Gym Membership🏋:👎🏻 Buying the membership alone isn’t going to get you the results you want.  It doesn’t work that way (sadly!).  It’s the biggest reason why people cancel their memberships - they lose motivation as they aren’t seeing results but they probably aren’t seeing results because they aren’t using it! It’s a big Catch22. 🎯If you don’t know what your goals are, you’re going to feel aimless when you do go to the gym.  There’s a LOT of equipment (“features”) and it becomes a case of analysis paralysis.

Optimal approaches to engage with End Users and Buyers for feedback

It's important to be proactive in seeking feedback from both end users and buyers. By doing so, you can continuously improve your product to meet customer needs, enhance the overall experience, and strengthen customer relationships, which ultimately leads to business growth and success.  End users are the individuals who directly interact with and use your product or service. They experience its features, usability, and overall functionality. To collect feedback from end users, consider the following channels: Buyers are the individuals responsible for making the purchasing decision and may not be direct users of the product but have insight into the overall buying experience. To gather feedback from buyers, consider the following approaches: a. In-App or On-Product Surveys b. Email Surveys c. Customer Support Interactions d. User Interviews and Focus Groups e. Feedback Forms on Website or Landing Pages f. In-Product Feedback Widgets g. Usage Analytic
