If you listen in the hallways of most B2B companies, you’ll hear a non-stop stream of opinions, backed up by very few facts. Uninformed opinions can lead to endless debate, delays in decision-making and poor choices. With the amount of data available about our customers, it doesn’t have to be that way anymore. Fortunately, our CEO Nick Mehta is passionate about using Gainsight products to make data-driven decisions, identify trends in overall customer health, thoroughly prepare for client visits, and act as an executive sponsor on key accounts. Watch this webinar and find out how Gainsight’s CEO, Nick Mehta, uses Gainsight daily to make data-driven, customer-centric decisions that answer these questions, and more! Learn how to get a consistent, fact-based view of your customer base using customer success technology.
