Balance Success Priorities
People ProcessSystems
In early 2014, we determined three critical areas for improvement
and established Priorities within each, in order to scale our
support model for a growing Client base:
©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved.
Priority #1: People
Your people are your most valuable asset!
•Understand what people love (and hate)
about their jobs
•Determine best team structure and
reporting lines
•Establish a team culture
•Put feet on the ground
•Provide consistent feedback and constant
coaching
•Develop your individuals… and your
managers
•Set clear goals
•Reward for performance
©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved.
Priority #2: Process
Put yourself in your customers’ shoes
•Understand the full Customer lifecycle
• Lead Generation 
• Sales / Sales Engineer 
• Onboarding 
• Ongoing Support
•Avoid too many hand-offs
•Make a good first impression
•First 90 days are the most important
•Focus internally (Client Success) and externally (Cross-Functional)
•Document all processes and create templates
•Train all stakeholders on new processes
•Ask customers for feedback
•Be flexible, as you consider edge-cases and long-tail customers
©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved.
Priority #3: Systems
Determine where systems could
compliment/improve your processes
•Evaluate different vendors
•Ask for references
•Play in the sandbox
•Don’t be afraid to ask/negotiate
•Identify & train proper users
•Understand integration capabilities
•Increase your systems budget
©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved.
Example: Segmenting Clients into Service Tiers
People
•Created Platform Services & Education Team
•Moved an individual from SAM to Community Manager
Process
•Developed clear documentation & templates for each Tier
for all cross-functional teams (CS, Sales, Legal, etc.)
•Highlighted Community in all steps of Lifecycle
Systems
•Transitioned from ZenDesk to Saleforce
•Trained employees and Clients on tools
•Gave access to many different teams
Words of Advice: at a Startup, everything is a priority, so take the time to step
back frequently, develop team members, fail forward… and have fun!!!
As our Client base grew, it was no longer scalable to provide the same
level of dedicated service to all Clients, so we created three Service Tiers.

  • 13. ©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved. Balance Success Priorities People ProcessSystems In early 2014, we determined three critical areas for improvement and established Priorities within each, in order to scale our support model for a growing Client base:
  • 14. ©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved. Priority #1: People Your people are your most valuable asset! •Understand what people love (and hate) about their jobs •Determine best team structure and reporting lines •Establish a team culture •Put feet on the ground •Provide consistent feedback and constant coaching •Develop your individuals… and your managers •Set clear goals •Reward for performance
  • 15. ©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved. Priority #2: Process Put yourself in your customers’ shoes •Understand the full Customer lifecycle • Lead Generation  • Sales / Sales Engineer  • Onboarding  • Ongoing Support •Avoid too many hand-offs •Make a good first impression •First 90 days are the most important •Focus internally (Client Success) and externally (Cross-Functional) •Document all processes and create templates •Train all stakeholders on new processes •Ask customers for feedback •Be flexible, as you consider edge-cases and long-tail customers
  • 16. ©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved. Priority #3: Systems Determine where systems could compliment/improve your processes •Evaluate different vendors •Ask for references •Play in the sandbox •Don’t be afraid to ask/negotiate •Identify & train proper users •Understand integration capabilities •Increase your systems budget
  • 17. ©2015 Gainsight. All Rights Reserved. Example: Segmenting Clients into Service Tiers People •Created Platform Services & Education Team •Moved an individual from SAM to Community Manager Process •Developed clear documentation & templates for each Tier for all cross-functional teams (CS, Sales, Legal, etc.) •Highlighted Community in all steps of Lifecycle Systems •Transitioned from ZenDesk to Saleforce •Trained employees and Clients on tools •Gave access to many different teams Words of Advice: at a Startup, everything is a priority, so take the time to step back frequently, develop team members, fail forward… and have fun!!! As our Client base grew, it was no longer scalable to provide the same level of dedicated service to all Clients, so we created three Service Tiers.
