We’ve all been there—you’ve binged so much that your favorite streaming provider is asking if you’re still there, watching your favorite show. I guess they did not imagine it possible to sit still on your couch for six hours straight! Just like your provider of choice, Gainsight’s Pulse Everywhere 2021 has something for everyone—whether you

One of the most exciting parts of working in Gainsight’s Customer Success Operations team is getting a sneak peek at new features and functions as our product team rapidly innovates.

We think many were naturally dreading the idea of 2 days of video meetings, but it turns out the team knocked it out of the park.
