Overview

Person 360 (P360) is designed to consolidate and organize person-related data from various product areas within Gainsight. It serves as a valuable tool for both admins and CSMs to streamline operations, enhance customer engagement, and make data-driven decisions. P360 empowers you to analyze person data comprehensively, enabling a deeper understanding of product usage, user sentiment, and the ability to build strong networks for productive business conversations. CSMs can leverage P360 to prepare for discussions, handle cases, and ensure successful meetings with contacts, ultimately leading to improved customer satisfaction and retention.

  • Quickly access historical data, product usage, and interaction tracking to inform personalized engagement strategies.
  • Add depth to your data from directly within P360 using timeline entries and other critical contact intelligence.
