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:
