The future of Customer Success (CS) is digital, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautifully simple. At Pulse 2023, the largest conference in the Customer Success industry, we’re dedicating an entire track to unpacking Digital Customer Success (DCS): Digital Strategies to Help You Achieve More With Less.
Plus, we have some exciting news that we can’t wait to share at the event. While we can’t let the cat out of the bag yet, here’s a sneak peek at our Digital Customer Success content and the experts we’re FIRED UP to see take the stage at Pulse.
Let’s Get FIRED UP for the Opening Keynote Panelists

Join us for an amazing opening keynote that celebrates the tenth anniversary of Pulse and looks at the all-important question: What’s next?
How can we drive more efficient growth? How will digital tech and AI impact the way we work day-to-day? How can we better support our customers and community? And what crazy costumes will Nick Mehta wear on the Pulse stage this year?

Gainsight Makes Digital Customer Success Simple
We’re making some game-changing announcements during this year’s Product Keynote, so stay tuned! With new methodologies and offerings that will give Customer Success Managers (CSMs) superpowers, we’re excited to show you that digital can be simple.
Ultimately, Digital Customer Success strategies are the key to creating an efficient, durable business that scales. By leveraging product data, digital communication channels, in-app engagements, and a user community that supports each other, organizations can ensure customers get the right guidance at the right time to drive the right outcomes for their businesses.
The best part? While DCS technology is powerful, implementing it is simple.
It’s so simple, in fact, that you can get started and reap value from DCS tactics right away. You don’t need perfect data or an enterprise-sized budget. And we found that CSMs can save an average of seven hours per week by leveraging digital tools to scale their outreach and guide customers to success. Imagine how much time that frees up for higher-value activities.
Ready to learn exactly how to go from zero to hero with DCS? The announcements we’re sharing at Pulse will guide you through every step of the DCS maturity journey. We can’t wait to share the digital best practices and tools that are leading the transformation of our industry.
