Einstein High Velocity Sales vs. Gong

HVS should be well suited for automated email responses and cadences. However, we have been unable to get it to work as we would like it to. The cadence builder is robust, but can be a bit complicated. It's not as easy to set up a cadence, as we would like. The program isn't well suited for mass marketing emails, but more for SDR emails.

Any team that has a direct relationship with a client via a phone or a video call would benefit from Gong. I've worked on sales in the past and these tools are the dream of every leader. I can't think of a better way to get actual material from our performance to give us a better chance to detect areas of improvement and hone our skillset before our next call. Even it's super fast. In merely a few minutes after the call you receive an email telling you that the recording is already ready for us to exploit it

• Allows you to move to different cadences and cadence steps without refreshing the screen or clicking to a new screen
• Fairly simple to send a one-off email to a single prospect
• Pretty easy to update contact information b/c it's directly integrated with Salesforce

• 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

• We haven't found anything in High Velocity Sales that we don't like. To reach out to prospects the company may use an all-in-one platform. The ability to organize, call, email, and follow up on leads is a game-changer for sales representatives.

• 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.

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.

Esy and simple to use outside of a few clunky moments with integrating to zoom/gcal or resetting the duration of recordings. Overall it's a really great tool that certainly empowers customer success and account managers to add of ton of value to the customer experience in a really simple way and makes the process more smooth and secure.

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

This is nothing something I'm able to answer

We've had to return to ZoomInfo Engage, since High Velocity Sales hasn't worked out for us. HVS should be well suited for automated email responses and cadences. However, we have been unable to get it to work as we would like it to. Engage is not a great program either, but the simpleness has made it more effective for our current use case.

We used to use Zoom recordings but they don't compare, we also had to spend a ton on extra storage while Gong is unlimited. In my opinion, Zoom/etc. provides no insights, no ability to score calls, no collaboration, poor sharing, etc.

• It's been negative in that I have to spend at least 20 times longer creating a cadence than I would with any other sales outreach tool.

• 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
