This article explains about the Overview of Success Snapshot.

Overview

Success Snapshot helps you to upload your customized PowerPoint presentations or Google Slides that needs to be configured with dynamic data points from Gainsight. You can further insert the data from Gainsight into the presentation to suit your business requirements. Success Snapshot honors all formatting and customizations of the Parent Deck.

You can automate recurring presentations for Customer Success Managers (CSMs) like Quarterly Business Reviews for their customers by incorporating dynamic data points from Gainsight. This template can be used by all CSMs repeatedly, which saves time and effort for the organization.

Example Business Use Cases: 

  • Consider that a CSM handles 25 customer accounts. The CSM needs to create customized presentations for QBR meetings for 25 customers.

    • To create 25 presentations from scratch with dynamic data can be time consuming.
    • Success Snapshot helps the CSM generate multiple Success Snapshot presentations with dynamic data from a single Success Snapshot Template using Tokens and Reports. This reduces workload and saves a lot of time.
    • Depending on the size of the Customer Success (CS) team, Companies tend to save thousands of hours every quarter as the same Success Snapshot Template is used by all the CS team members in a Company.
  • Similarly, all the CSMs can have a custom Internal Review Meeting template with tokens and reports embedded. This allows CSMs to generate multiple Success Snapshots with dynamic data.

The benefits of using Success Snapshot include:

  • Efficiency: It helps you to reduce time taken by the CSM to prepare for customer meetings and presentations.
  • Flexibility: It helps you to utilize multiple options to tailor the information in your business review PPT. For example, you can insert a report, update text, insert tokens, and upload images using customer data available within Gainsight.
  • Integration: It helps you connect with other Gainsight features like C360 and R360.

Basic Terminologies

  • Parent Deck: Customized presentations with placeholders for dynamic Gainsight data points created by the Admin outside Gainsight is called a Parent Deck.
  • Success Snapshot Template: Parent Deck once uploaded into the Gainsight Repository is called a Success Snapshot Template.
  • Success Snapshot: Exported Success Snapshot Templates by the CSM is called a Success Snapshot.
