Customer Education Is the First Step to Efficient Retention

Businesses can start their customers on the right foot by:

– Efficiently delivering on-demand learning experiences customers can access 24/7, which eliminates 1:1 training, thereby reducing costs.

– Boosting customer engagement through embedded learning on their website or app to increase reach and customer satisfaction.

While in turn, businesses benefit in several other ways:

– Boosting the scale and efficiency of their Customer Success teams by eliminating the need for constant hand-holding from CSMs and helping them focus on more high-value activities such as renewals and expansion.

– Elevating the customer experience through a seamless learning experience at scale. Effortless learning experiences not only boost training engagement but also drive CSAT/NPS, product usage, and revenue.

And by integrating training data, such as course completion rates, into Customer Health Scores in Gainsight, Customer Success teams can further automate key and automated workflows more information about predictability of gross completion rate and net retention.
