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

1. Making broad changes to data, like moving ownership of records from one user to another for a new Sales Rep or a moved Sales Rep. 2. Making broad changes to data for product changes, product introductions and such (product naming changes, product description changes, etc.). I recently had to make a change to the name of a Product Option. Product Options are a sub-object related to Product. This name change was in 22 places. Okay, 18 [is] not a lot, but to make this change individually 22 times is still very tedious and takes too much of my time. Instead, I set up my Grid with the Object and sub-Object and made all 22 changes at once with a mass change. Piece of cake. And I don't have to go back to several of the records to see if the change was made successfully (something you have to do with Dataloader). I could see the effective change all at once on my Grid screen.

Pros
Gong.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

  • Reshapes the user Interface into an intuitive, clean, easy and thoughtful way, meaning Salesforce can be practically used for applications that (in my Opinion) salesforce was never designed for.
  • Mass updates are a God send, Leaving quick and meaningful notes, setting up meetings with clients or upcoming calls to maintain contact, all from the same screen without information overload... a real achievement.

Cons
Gong.io
  • 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.

  • Does not allow users to create new Campaign Member records; we would like to be able to add multiple Campaign Member records to a Campaign in a Grid.
  • Does not allow users to create new Task records; we would like to be able to add multiple Tasks records related to the same user but multiple Opportunities and Contacts.

Usability

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

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.

This is the 1st inline editing product we have tested. The only reason we would ever go with another product is the price.

Return on Investment
Gong.io
  • 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

  • Our sales executives save a lot of time reviewing all opportunities in a single editable view.
  • Gridbuddy improves the functionality of our CRM by allowing us to edit multiple opportunities in one place.
  • It is generally faster and easier to build a report in GridBuddy than it is in SAP C4C.
