Hello Gainsight Community,



We are excited to announce a new contest! The challenge is simple: post your best practices on Community under "Gainsight Best Practices" or "Customer Success Best Practices" and receive points as detailed below.



Prizes: The top 3 users will win free passes to CSU Online. In addition, all participants will be entered into a raffle for Gainsight swag.



So how does it work? You will get the following points for each action:




  • 50 points for creating a post with a substantive best practice
  • 30 points for replying to an existing post with additional best practices
  • 5 points for every “Me-too” you receive on your best practice post
  • 50 points for attending the weekly webinar and posting related best practices
  • Bonus points for especially thought-provoking or original posts, so bring it on!
Don’t know where to start? Respond to a question:


  • What are the top 3 initiatives for CS Ops that support your company’s scaling?
  • Tips for new CSMs and CS Ops leads: What is most important to nail down in the first 90 days?
  • What key metrics should Customer Success be following?
  • How did you build the right environment to support the launch of Gainsight?
  • What tactics did you use at launch to ensure Gainsight was successful?
  • As the implementation of Gainsight progressed, what strategies did you use to reinforce adoption by your team and management?
  • What are some of the most important reports or data elements that your CS organization tracks?
  • Are there important CS KPIs you measure and if so how do you visualize them?
  • How do you establish a successful “Voice of Customer” program?
  • How do you manage critical handoffs in your organization? 

Feel free to brainstorm your own topics!
