“Hoopla has been very effective in helping us create a high-performance sales culture, and we use Gainsight to create a culture of excellence around customer success,” said Leon Drozdowski, vice president of Services and Customer Success at InsideView. “We are excited that we can now use these solutions together to motivate the performance of our teams throughout the entire revenue cycle.”
The integrated solution allows companies like InsideView who use both Hoopla and Gainsight to recognize customer success team members for key achievements, including customer renewals, upsells, and customer health scores. The system also tracks individual reps’ performance toward goals, and creates a live recognition event that celebrates each individual’s accomplishment the moment he or she reaches a goal.
“Just as any company should have a strategy around marketing, lead gen and sales, it should also have a plan around Customer Success and customer retention. This has quickly resonated within the C-Suite across many different organizations today,” said Nick Mehta, CEO of Gainsight. “By integrating our solutions, we can provide our customers with the tools they need to connect revenue-generating teams to the company’s performance in a very powerful way.”
“Motivating and recognizing Customer Success team performance is crucial for any SaaS or recurring revenue business,” said Mike Smalls, founder and CEO of Hoopla. “Since a Customer Success team’s relationship with the end-customer results in increased revenue and renewals, the integration of Hoopla and Gainsight offers great economic value to the business.”
