🚨 Upcoming Webinar Alert! Building PX+CS Strategy: “Show Me The Money!”

When strategizing the best way to use Gainsight PX and CS together, it can be difficult to decide where to start. Both Gainsight PX and CS offer a number of benefits to various teams and when putting the two together, the possibilities are endless (and potentially overwhelming)! A suggestion when implementing a PX+CS use case is to first consider your pricing model, or as Jerry Maguire would say, “Show me the money!”  Most SaaS customers generate revenue by charging per user/license or by feature utilization.User-Based  In a User/License based pricing model, customers are charged by the number “seats” sold per organization. Take Gainsight as an example. Gainsight CS is sold to customers in terms of the number of licenses purchased and Gainsight PX determines the price per customer based on the number of monthly active users (MAUs). In these scenarios, it is important to track the number of users logging into the product to understand health and risk, as well as to measure growth of use

Gainsight Assist - Filter Contacts

 I’d like to know if there is a way in Gainsight Assist  be able to identify parent vs. child records and when multiple records exist with the same name under parent and child. When documenting to the timeline via Gainsight assist  CSMs can't identify which record is the parent and which one is the child, if both records have the same name. I was wondering if there is a way to filter parent and child records, so that when the CSM documents to the Timeline via Gainsight Assist they are assured to be logging under the correct record.Would anyone know if this is possible, or has a similar experience?  Cheers, Ana

Must Have Skills for an Impactful CSM: CS = Customer Experience + Customer Outcomes

Hey Everyone!  I cannot wait to get to SF for Pulse and I am especially excited to be participating in this CSM-led track! 🚀Often times when we discuss Customer Experience (CX) and Outcomes (CO) here at Gainsight, we’re speaking about measuring CO with our DEAR framework and the correlations with Net Revenue Retention📈We might also talk about measuring CX with NPS or ‘closing the loop.’ All very important- but we’re only scratching the surface, missing out on an important discussion around how inspiring orienting our work around CO and CX can be! 🤩For my session, I wanted to dig into how we can use the CX + CO framework to add context and purpose to the entire breadth of work that a CSM does (What’s-in-it-for-CSM, so to speak). In my track, we’ll coverHow gathering outcomes at all levels of the business and numerous points in the customer journey makes for easier renewals and drives expansion 📊 Why prioritizing a Human-First approach is crucial for excellent CX 🌞  How the Gainsigh

NPS + GRR - Does Experience Correlate with Financial Outcomes?

Like most best practices, it depends.  You need to figure out which NPS scores matter most and why. Thrilled to say that Admin NPS *is* correlated with GRR.  It’s narrowed over time, but still quite meaningful. This is the reason and the evidence for the Admin/CS Ops Community Programs. We saw the gap in NPS scores, identified root causes and work every quarter to reduce/remove.

How to chain Slider and Guide engagements on a page?

Is it possible to chain two separate engagements — Slider and Guide — on a page so that the Slider is shown first and the Guide is shown automatically after the user closed the (welcome) Slider without forcing the user to refresh the page manually etc? The (welcome) Slider engagement should be shown instantly the user has opened the URL for the first time and it should be shown only once. The (tutorial) Guide engagement should also be shown once but automatically after the user has already seen the (welcome) Slider (once). If it is possible, how to do it?

Recording: Proactive Pooled CSMs (CS Ops Meetup Presentation)

In our monthly meetup group about the CS Ops of Digital-Led Customer Success, we spoke in February 2022 about pooled CSMs being proactive instead of only being able to react to incoming customer questions. Brian LaFaille of Google kicked us off with a presentation and Q&A session.Here is the slide deck. Brian mentioned additional slides about how to actually execute the transition to a pooled CS model, which you can see here.Plus, participants shared some of their takeaways from their breakout room conversations:Working with customer data, and having reliable data, getting it right is often difficult We discussed leveraging a ticketing system (similar to support) to help with client experience in a pooled CSM model. Where some have the intention of getting off the phone and solving issues as quickly as possible, others are using the time on the phone for land and expand opportunities. A question to guide your efforts: is this scalable? Internal alignment Having a support team and r

#2MinHowTo: Increase Upsells, Cross-Sells, and Expansions with Gainsight PX & CS

Lead generation for upsells, cross-sells and expansions can be very time-consuming and inefficient. There are quite often times when customers don’t realize the additional value they can get from your product or service.By leveraging the power of Gainsight PX and CS, you have the ability to provide customers with tailored, automated, and scalable messaging for when they need to upgrade their contact/s. This has the added benefit of the customer coming to you to discuss pricing. After all, a customer coming to you to buy a product is much more likely to close than you reaching out to the customer.Here’s my #2MinHowTo video on how it all works: This post is part of our #2minHowTo campaign. Make sure to check it out and encourage others to share their expertise! I am nominating @arminfpop  and @lane_h to take up this challenge next.I hope you found this useful, if you have any questions or additional use case ideas, please do share them in the comments below.

Health Score | Usage

Hello - We’re moving our data portal to a new platform that no longer has a means to load usage data into GS. From a health score perspective, we’ll get very limited data - # report executions and # logins (without identifying the user). Brainstorming ideas on how to get a usage score for customer health with limited data and without having a data feed into GS?? The only way to get it in would be manual and that’s not an option. How are you measuring usage of your tools/platforms from a customer health perspective?

governance model

Has anybody created a formal governance model for Gainsight that they'd be willing to share? As we add more Admin users and groups outside of Customer Success into Gainsight it's becoming clear that we need to create a formal governance model/support structure. I've started to create something which I'd share here but it's a .ppt and I can't figure out how to attach a doc? Sorry! Does anybody else have anything they'd be willing to share?

#2minHowTo : Leveraging Gainsight PX and CS for Role/Persona Confirmation

As most organizations look to create a digital-first experience for their customers, it’s important not to forget some of the benefits of human-first. For example, when you meet with a customer, the conversation tends to change directions to cover everything from your customers personal role to their larger strategy. Creating a similar personalized experience in a digital-first environment is vital. We need to deliver key messaging, guidance, and support, proactively and at the right time. In order to do that, however, it’s important to have a similar conversation with your customers, to understand what’s going on with their business and what’s their role in driving the business forward. (Don’t worry, this doesn’t include ChatGPT - for now…) Let’s talk about why their role is important. By knowing if your customer is an individual contributor or manager, you can tailor the experience to better meet their needs. For example, in Gainsight CS a Customer Success Manager would be classified
