This article provides insights understand the P360 layouts and helps CSMs to effectively use P360 capabilities.

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 CSMs to streamline operations, enhance customer engagement, and make data-driven decisions. P360 empowers users to analyze person data comprehensively, enabling a deeper understanding of product usage, user sentiment, journeys, community engagements, and so on. This feature helps CSMs in enhancing 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.

Key Benefits:

  • Helps to minimize the time spent on gathering information, allowing for more focus on customer interaction and relationship building.
  • Ability to instantly access all relevant pre-meeting information, such as engagement notes and survey responses from one location.
  • Help customer-facing teams come to each meeting well-informed and prepared.

View Layout Options

In Gainsight, contacts also known as person records, can exist independently or be associated with a company and/or a relationship. This association allows for the differentiation of data facets based on the entity type, either as an individual contact, a contact associated with a company, or a contact linked to a specific relationship. P360 provides a global switcher in the layout for each facet of person data, such as person, Company Person, and Relationship Person. CSMs can use the global Context Switcher dropdown menu to select different layout options. This switcher streamlines access to specific data, making it easier for users to obtain relevant information with each option.

Context Significance
Overview

Provides a snapshot of the person information across all companies that the person has created footprints on.

Company View Provides company-related information for the person in the Summary widgets.
Relationship View Provides relationship-related information within each company for the selected person record in the Summary widgets.

Overview Layout

The Overview layout provides CSMs with a comprehensive snapshot of a person, which includes recent Timeline activities, product usage, community engagement, essential attributes, and other important details. CSMs are then encouraged to delve deeper, accessing more nuanced, context-specific information about the person’s association with specific companies or relationships, thereby enriching their understanding of the person’s role and activities within those particular entities.
