Alex is the admin responsible for maintaining Gainsight CS at CyberOne Solutions and will be the primary user of Gainsight Enablement Engine. Because Gainsight Enablement Engine is tracking every login, click and form-fill, Alex can understand exactly how every team member is using Gainsight CS. He can compare user roles and see identify how those with just a viewers license compared to power users are engaging with the software. This also allows him to spot where teammates are getting stuck.
He uses this information to create a series of in-product guides to train the team on how to complete critical tasks correctly. This is also useful for Alex because this in-product guide will be available for all new users to Gainsight CS at CyberOne Solutions, saving him time by not having to deliver the same training himself every time someone joins the team.
Alex also learned that a couple of the Gainsight CS users on the team regularly forget to submit a form after completing a specific task. This results in some of their accounts falling through the cracks. With Gainsight Enablement Engine, he’s able to target those specific users with a contextual pop-up that appears for them after they’ve completed the prior step. When they click the ‘submit’ button, they’ll be presented with a pop-up telling them not to forget to complete the very next step.
With Gainsight Enablement Engine, Alex gets more time back in his day to focus on other critical priorities, the company is able to drive efficiency across the team while ensuring team-specific processes are followed.
