If being a new Gainsight Admin has you a bit overwhelmed and feeling like you’re drinking from the firehose, I wanted to share some resources to help you get organized.  

  • First, let’s start with Gainsight University. 🎓   As the name implies, GS U has lots of learning content across the entire Gainsight platform for everyone from new end users to admins to leaders.  Here you can also find information on Certifications and our Live Training Events!  We offer a variety of Live Training Events including Admin Instructor Led courses on our top features as well as training on other products.  Additionally, here are some Practice Exercises you can try out.  Contact training@gainsight.com for a training environment to safely practice and feel confident before configuring in your own environment.
  • Speaking of Certifications… if you’re working on Gainsight Admin Level 3 Certification, there is an Admin Certification Office Hours where we discuss the exam content, format, and some prep tips.  There will be three sessions hosted this Wednesday, April 19th across different time zones.  Bring your questions and get some answers!
  • Are you a Slacker?  Have you heard about the Global Gainsight Admin Slack channel?  If not, sign up today and check it out. This channel is managed by some of our most experienced Gainsight Admin customers who use this channel to stay connected and share ideas. 💡
  • And, of course, we can’t fail to mention Gainsight Community!!  While we have our own Beginner Admins in Training Community space here we also have the broader Community of Gainsight users.  Did you know the Gainsight product team reviews all Community posts and answers technical questions as well as evaluates ideas for future enhancements?
  • Lastly, there is the annual Gainsight Pulse event that you want to check out.  Here’s a video from Nick with all the details and the website to learn all about what is happening at Pulse 2023.

What other tools have you used to help you develop as a GS Admin?  

Drop it in the comments so we can share it with others. 

Have a great week and we will be dropping another puzzle soon!😉

I would love to know if there are Gainsight Admin mentors! I am new(ish) to the Admin role and would love to have a mentor! I am level 1 certified and working towards my level 2, so it would be helpful to be able to meet with someone regularly to talk to them and see what their admin experience is like, etc.

@lisa.mirth Thank you so much!

@blemire0112 Hi Brandy!

We’re so excited about your interest in our CS Ops Mentor Program

We believe that mentorship is a valuable tool for both new and experienced professionals in their personal and career development. In our program:

  • Mentors can expand your network, build coaching and people skills, while reinforcing your knowledge on subject matters and offering mentees a different perspective. 
  • Mentees have an opportunity to match with a mentor based on the knowledge and goals you share, and receive personalized advice on how to develop your skills. 

So, we’re looking forward to you becoming a mentor, mentee or both! We'll be excited to have you as a part of our community
 

Best,

Danielle Allwood

Gainsight 

CS Ops Mentor Program Coordinator

@lisa.mirth  - can you share how I can update my badges in my profile? I just completed my Level 2 Admin: Reports and Dashboards (April 28) and Journey Orchestrator and Surveys (May 5), but my profile is still only showing my badge for Associate Admin. 

 

Thanks

Brandy

The slack channel link is no longer active. You might want to update this article.

@danielleallwood (copying ​@revathimenon)

My name is Rob Steinberg and I am a first time admin, long time CSM.  I am currently pursuing my Level 1 admin certification (my goal is to complete this in mid-February).  I am very interested in joining your CS Ops mentoring program as a mentee.  I recently left SAP after 32 years with the last 20 years in various CS roles including global CSM strategy as well as being a front-line CSM.  I’m very impressed by the comprehensiveness of the Gainsight solution and wish that I had it when I was a CSM.  My goal is to join a Gainsight implementation partner after I get my Level 1 certification.  My background also includes presales and consulting, so I feel that I am a great fit.  

The CS Ops Mentor program link does not work.  Are you able to post the updated link?  I’m especially interested in learning about a person’s first experiences as a Gainsight admin.  Because the solution is so extensive, I feel a bit overwhelmed as to what to expect.  The self-paced training and documentation is excellent, but I am interested in hearing about how others approached their initial real-world engagement as an Gainsight admin.

Thank you very much,

Rob Steinberg
