Improved Customer Success Team Efficiency

Gainsight centralizes customer data including Skilljar training activity so CSMs don’t waste time digging through different systems. Automated alerts and dashboards highlight accounts with low training engagement, while personalized emails and reminders keep customers on track. 



Real-time

Bringing Skilljar training data into Gainsight helps CSMs identify adoption gaps, deliver targeted support, and boost product engagement. Well-trained customers are more likely to stay, reducing churn and increasing retention. Training also drives long-term value by empowering users to adopt advanced features and expand their usage.
