Best Practices for a Successful Gainsight Rollout

Rolling out a new tool like the Gainsight Customer Success application is not just about training people how to use it. It’s equally important to help your team prepare for the change and to set everyone up for success after your initial go-live.Over the years Gainsight has helped hundreds of different companies implement Gainsight CS, and along the way we’ve fine tuned our own enablement strategies, and observed many others who did it well. We often hear from customers who are looking for end user enablement guidance and best practices, so I thought it would be helpful to write them up and share.Preparing the team for changePrior to working with Gainsight, your CS team may have been using other tools or everyone may have been doing their own thing to try to manage their customer portfolio. In any case, leadership needs to prepare the team for what’s coming, and address what's in it for them. Getting buy-in is typically easier when the team is involved in designing the solution. For ex

Gainsight Admin Interview - Alizée Levavasseur gives us the scoop on Digital CS!

Alizée Levavasseur @alizee is currently a Sr. CSM for Digital CS & CS Ops at SS&C Blue Prism. When we caught up recently, I came away with a greater appreciation and understanding of digital CS tactics, how they differ from marketing digital tactics, how community fits in, and something she refers to as the virtuous data circle.So, settle in for a 6-minute mini-master class in Digital CS, and you might learn a new thing or two! 😉

The conversation centered on how to grow and advance your career in CS Ops. If you missed the webinar, here it isAlso, here are a few great questions that we didn’t get to in the session. Let’s continue the discussion here!What have been the best resources for Change management learning? Any documentation you point to every time and in every role? What does the job market currently look like for CS Ops? Are there a lot of companies hiring roles like this and is there a surplus of candidates?

Gainsight Admin Interview - Altamash Syed: CS Ops is a Great Place to Be

@saltamash has the advantage of having worked on the Gainsight Support team, and is now a CS Ops Analyst and Gainsight Admin for Coursera. I recently talked to Altamash to understand his current role, what it’s like to be part of the Gainsight Product Council, how he recommends others learn Gainsight, and his first big project at Coursera. Altamash also shared some advice for current CSMs who might be wondering how to get their feet wet with CS Ops.My favorite line from our conversation: “The best time to move into CS Ops was yesterday, and the next best time is today.” I usually hear this quote in relation to planting trees, except rather than planting trees yesterday, the best time was 10 years ago! 😆

Gainsight Admin Profile - Lindsay Cochran: Coaching Clients Toward Success

There’s no one right way to develop the skill set that it takes to be successful in CS Ops. That’s what dozens of conversations over the last year or so with CS Ops professionals have shown me. When I talked to Lindsay Cochran at Jamf @linny75 recently, I was intrigued to learn that she started her career in the fitness and health coaching world. Now she manages a CS Ops team of eight, and continues to focus on how to get the customer where they want to go. Along the way, she also moved from Minneapolis to the Netherlands. 🇳🇱Check out the video below to hear how Lindsay got into CS Ops, how her role at Jamf has evolved over the last 5 years, the different roles and responsibilities within her team, and advice for those just starting out in CS Ops!

Gainsight Admin Profile - Justin Richmond: Ops is the heartbeat of CS

People who love their work have an infectious enthusiasm that energizes anyone who enters their orbit. At least that’s how I felt when I recently sat down with Justin Richmond @jrich to hear about his journey in the world of CS Ops. Justin is passionate about customer success, and supporting his team at Appian. This was most evident when I heard Justin share how he sees CS Ops as the heartbeat of the CS organization. We started with a quick icebreaker about his favorite game or show, and he delivered on both by citing The Last of Us as his current favorite. He appreciates that the show is an amazing adaptation of the game and is staying true to the game’s ‘script’. After our conversation, I realized that Justin basically provided a Getting Started in CS Ops playbook 😁. Among his tips:Start small and take it slow Don’t overpromise / be honest about what’s possible Lean into the broader Community and Support Use the Gainsight Object Glossary to quickly understand objects and fields List
