SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainsight™, the Customer Success company, today announced it delivered another year of record growth fueled by its breakthrough technology that further cements its leadership in the Customer Success category.
“We see more companies double down on customer-driven growth channels, such as product adoption, renewals, and expansion, as these are critical for recurring revenue growth,” said Gainsight CEO, Nick Mehta. “Our growth is attributed to the unstoppable force of subscription-based business models and the required focus on customers. I’m excited for the next phase of our game-changing community and Gainsight’s growth as businesses adopt Customer Success as a company-wide priority.”

The Customer Success Community Continues to Expand
The role of the Customer Success Manager has become critically important as companies adopt recurring revenue business models. It has also developed into one of the most sought-after positions as indicated by its growth over the past few years. “Customer Success Specialist” ranked sixth in LinkedIn’s 2020 Emerging Jobs Report and experienced 34 percent annual growth — with 72 percent working in the Software & IT industry.
The continuous growth of the Customer Success movement is further evidenced by the company's annual customer success conference, Pulse, and its associated roadshow, Pulse World Tour.
