Innovative companies are protecting and nurturing their most valuable asset—their customers—with the power of Gainsight's award-winning platform.
It takes more than technology to align your customer-facing teams around successful outcomes. It takes effective, tested processes. It takes Gainsight's prescriptive Customer Success Elements.
We've seen double digit increases in renewal rates and expansion rates when we've applied Customer Success. Gainsight has been a key lever to drive those business outcomes for Cisco.
By using Gainsight, I've been able to take our team which was traditionally very reactive and turn them into a team that's proactive.
We saw, with Gainsight, a 3% improvement in retention rate on $1B in revenue.
We were able to use Gainsight Reporting and Calls-to-Action to drive up our on-time renewal rate 10 percentage points.
We've actually been able to quadruple the amount of customers that we reach in our lower tier.

We are all about Advocacy and providing Successful Customers with a podium and a microphone to tell their stories and with Gainsight we now have our fingers on the "PULSE" of our customers. We can ensure that customers get the right attention at the right time. Without Gainsight it was not possible to preemptively support customer health.

[Gainsight]'s been one of the best decisions we've made. Our team is now contacting customers exactly when they need proactive love rather than after they've asked for help, and our first copilot email has convinced a huge number of customers to turn on critical features with the click of one button.

Our business is very complex with lots of products, and even in that scenario, Gainsight has proved to be a great tool to help our CSMs have a holistic view of their customers and track their interactions. I'm not sure there's a situation where I wouldn't recommend it. On top of that, the support team and our CSM truly treat us like their only customer.

If you take a look at my LinkedIn page (and scroll way, way down), you’ll see exactly where my career took a left turn. (No, not Chipshot.com—you scrolled too far!) I started my professional career as a product manager. Well, I tried to start my career by doing a Master’s in Computer Science in college, which taught me I wasn’t smart enough to be a developer, but maybe I could hang with them. Over the years, I moved up from Product Manager to “Manager of Product Management” (still a bizarre title to me!) and so on. That was my career trajectory, and I couldn’t have been happier. It checked all the boxes for me—strategic thinking, working collaboratively, creativity, working with sales, and above all a total focus on giving the customer a great experience. Not to mention lots of PowerPoint! When I left the world of product management to become a CEO, Customer Success was barely a gleam in my colleague Dan Steinman’s eye! But when I look back on it, I can see how it was preparing me for this crazy world of CS, and how the skills I honed in PM are so complementary to my job today. For the […]
Today we announced that Gainsight is acquiring Aptrinsic. I couldn’t be more excited to start working closely with Aptrinsic’s CEO and co-founder Mickey Alon. I’ve come to respect Mickey deeply as a thought leader, and his vision for how to help his customers is very aligned with ours. In this post I’ll share the “why” behind this acquisition, which gets to the root of Customer Success philosophy. It may even challenge us to think differently about what Customer Success is really all about. Ask Why “I need to scale.” This is a statement I’ve made myself, and that I’ve heard many times over the years from Chief Customer Officers and their teams. It’s such a common refrain at this point that we take for granted that the need to scale is a central responsibility in the CCO role. But perhaps it would be worth our time to ask, “Why?” And to ask it again, and again, and again. Let’s play devil’s advocate with ourselves. “Why do you need to scale?” “Because CS isn’t a priority at my company.” “Why are you saying it’s not a priority?” “Because my CFO won’t give me more budget.” “Why isn’t your current budget sufficient […]
Thursday, October 25 | 11:00 a.m. PT (2:00 p.m. ET) Your Quarterly Business Review (aka Executive Business Review) is often a make-or-break moment in your customer relationship. If you nail it, you can proactively solve the challenges that are the seeds of future churn. If you fail, your relationship just might fail too. A properly-executed QBR/EBR is the culmination of months of effort from many individuals and teams. It’s an incredibly strategic moment, which is why so many people struggle to pull them off seamlessly. You need involvement from Product, Sales, CSM, Support, and others—but you can’t have representatives from each team present at the meeting. You need data from many different sources, but you need to orchestrate it in a way that makes sense for the customer. And you need to do it all at scale. How do you involve the right person at the right time in the QBR/EBR process? How do you share information effectively? And how do you scale your system proportionally for your high-touch clients and your long-tail? Join Kellie Capote, Manager of Gainsight’s National Customer Success Team, and Josh Lowy, CEO and Co-Founder of Hugo, as they help you solve your QBR/EBR strategy for […]
With Q4 right around the corner, it’s time to start taking a closer look at your upcoming renewals. With a little bit of luck and some persistent Account Managers, you could have a decent retention rate. Except it’s not about luck, or even persistence—it’s about process. And you need to implement the right process yesterday. Companies with Gross Renewal Rates in the nineties track renewals methodically, well in advance of the contract expiring. They forecast renewal likelihood with accuracy, escalate risky accounts, and execute the proper, prescribed playbooks precisely and repeatably. It’s all laid out in the Renewal Management Element. In this webinar, Gainsight’s RVP Customer Account Management, Kelly DeHart, will guide you through the RM Element. She’ll be joined by Ben Michael, Director of Customer Success at Jamf, who will showcase exactly how the RM Element has effected major improvements in renewal process in his organization. In this webinar, you’ll get actionable advice for: Improving your renewal forecasting accuracy Escalating at-risk accounts with the right response at the right time Scaling your renewal process across segments And much more
