CloseFactor vs. Gong

CloseFactor has been a great way to target contacts by company and be able to filter down by other characteristics, such as seniority, specific role, or other keywords. There is still some manual work to push contacts to a CRM or contact tool (SalesLoft, Outreach) but being able to do this in bulk rather than one by one saves a lot of time when finding quality prospects.

First, it has completely changed the way I work. Before, I had scattered meeting notes; now everything is in one place, so I can go back to it and never miss a thing. Plus, it's made training and coaching much easier, not just for me, but for the entire org.

• A history tracker (similar to Google Sheets/Excel) - it'd be nice to see WHO was changing certain fields and when exactly.
• Dark mode.
• A quick checklist when getting started to ensure I'm getting the most out of the platform (e.g., Gong Connect, Gong Import).

I don't make these decisions for our company, but I would highly encourage our use of Gong to continue. Gong has been very helpful in my sales role in terms of staying organized and on top of accounts, completing actions in a timely manner, and moving deals forward with better insights

I think Gong is really well organized, and everything is easy to find. There are other online services that I have used where things get really confusing, as there are too many tabs or things become bulky and unclear. I have not experienced that at all with Gong. Everything is really simply designed and easy to navigate

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

CloseFactor builds on tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Rather than comb through contacts one by one, CloseFactor identifies all contacts that satisfy certain criteria and allows us to bulk push them into our CRM. There is also a component of validating contact info that is imported with the contact, which LinkedIn lacks entirely

It stacks up in a different way. All of these companies try to do some feature that Gong does. Like Call recording, call analysis, AI discovery, Forecasting and Sales Activity tracking. Gong beats most, Otter.ai is a growing competitor though.

• I don't have specific metrics since this feature isn't used in my job personally, but I do know that our sales and CS teams use Gong with SFDC opportunities to help with forecasting closed won opportunities based on intent captured within the call.
