Gong vs. Salesloft

Gong is well-suite to hiding in the background of your zoom calls to record all information. It simultaneously announces its presence and is never called out by clients as intrusive. This has saved our revenue team hours of taking notes each week, and also polishing these notes after the calls. Especially when you have calls back-to-back and aren't able to polish your notes immediately, it's easy to forget the context of your notes. Gong allows us to have the full reference to maintain all call points accurately.

Organizations with budget and proper support resources will be able to best leverage the benefits of SalesLoft. Earlier stage organizations with bootstrap budgets would still benefit from SalesLoft, albeit, I personally feel that without the proper RevOp's resources, that SalesLoft potentially loses a bit compared to Outreach.io

• Recommendations to improve (silence time, speaking ratio, etc.)
• Source of absolute truth! So easy to see what meetings have been done, and how it was done. No more he says she says
• Transcription - it has been accurate, and helps when trying to learn how to handle rejections

Incentivized

• The use of cadences allows my team to quickly process calls that have been prequalified by our filters in Salesforce
• The live call coaching with "drop in" capability has been useful for quality checking the calls, while allowing us to steer a call in a particular direction if necessary

• Would like to have Gong use AI to alert me when a customer is at risk for attrition
• Would like to make it easier to search on Accounts. When I type into the search field, sometimes multiple accounts appear, and when I click on one, there's an error.

Incentivized

• Calendaring -- specifically ensuring credit is properly aligned when trying to calendar for sellers as a BDR -- even when using a booking/ calendar availability link (a seller's link -- this is the trouble spot from what I recall and why we can't use some of the helpful link scheduling tools in our org).
• Would love to set up some report automation on the management side -- where specific things could be sent to me (e.g., I would love to set up a report that would auto-populate to show how many dials were completed during a power-hour/blitz period that would hit my alerts in the UI or be sent to email/Slack automatically).
• A manager-specific view/home screen would be nice but not essential.

We love Gong and our customers like it too. We can bring additional value by being to provide a dialogue of all our customer conversations.

The renewal really depends on who the client is. SalesLoft works for some clients better than others.

Whoever designed Gong knew what this tool needed to be and needs to provide their clients with. I haven't been in a full-time sales team in a while, and for me it was love at first sight, since I really enjoy training sessions, especially when the team is not afraid of making mistakes or being corrected by other team members. The synergy this tool fosters is something I would always use in these areas of work: Sales, Product, Customer Success, Customer Support

SalesLoft is a fantastic product that will be extremely helpful to any Sales Rep looking to organize their information and stay one step ahead. While it has its shares of quirks and bugs it proves to be an awesome tool for anyone that is in the sales industry.

I give them a 10 because, I have been using Gong for over a year now and have never had issues or concerns go un resolved in a day or two. Their communication is impeccable and their tech support is very hands on and prompt

I think Gong's really helpful feature was being able to share a link to customer recordings which felt more secure and more easily accessible. Sharing setting was very customizable and allowed Smartling to ensure we were following best practices for security and privacy - this is something i've heard large companies like Accenture have issue with in regards to Zoom

We switched from InsideSales Playbooks to SalesLoft. Salesloft is much easier to use and more intuitive. We had previously used Inside SalesPlaybooks before they changed their name just so we had the powerdialer plug in in Salesforce then tried implementing PlayBooks and it was a bit cumbersome and not intuitive. We evaluated a few others but SalesLoft was the best choice!

• Greater collaboration across internal teams
• Improved presentation and conversation skills, based on manager feedback and individual assessment
• Improved patience (must fewer instances of interrupting customers thanks to Gong)
• Customers are more confident in their decisions (when they can rewatch demos)
• Better alignment with customers, since we can be truly present on the call then listen to the recording later instead of taking notes in real-time

Incentivized

• Our sales activities are very predictable and we know how much effort to focus on certain leads.
• SalesLoft also gives us supporting metrics for individual productivity - we use activity metrics to supplement attainment metrics.
• Our SDRs have a much wider reach and can process more leads which saves them time and keeps them targeted on the best leads.
