Weekly tips for Gong Users

We try and send out a weekly tip to remind our team of all the ways they can use tools in our tech stack.  This week, we are playing with the Halloween theme.  We pulled a report from Gong on which reps are ‘ghosted’ the least and then shared some tips on what to do when you’ve been ghosted… including the use of Ask Me Anything (why isn’t this prospect responding?).    Who doesn’t want less ghosting but more BOOOOkings right?  It’s tough to come up with fun content for these emails every week- anyone have ideas they have used to send out weekly tips on Gong?? Can you share?
