Highspot is a sales content management software solution offered by Highspot.
The only remotely comparable product would be Zoom and it's not a direct 1-1 competing product in my opinion. Gong gives you so much more to work with than just a recording - tracking follow up and action items, sending you email reminders to follow up with your contacts after …
Although I was not privy to the selection process, our product marketing manager was extremely heavy in selecting the right tool for our Sales team and collaborated with us to figure out exactly which features we needed, and what we didn't. Highspot checked all the boxes and …
Gong is the perfect, all-in-one tool for Sales reps to be able to succeed. It's my one-stop-shop for updating deals, getting intelligence into the accounts I'm servicing, and for coaching/training myself and others. I could even see its use case extending to CSMs. Maybe a bit less appropriate for non-sales-oriented teams.
Great for delivering insight on which personas are engaging with the material shared. If I've had multiple meetings with personas, but they have not engaged with my proposal, I'm now able to understand the priority of our partnership and how it ranks within their other initiatives.
Provides executive summaries for meeting notes and email follow ups.
AI Briefs allow anyone to seek information on a particular customer in a matter of seconds.
Scores calls such as EBRs or new business sales calls that can be used by management for coaching.
Provides accurate forecasting and visibility to sales leaders.
Theme spotter can be used to gather feedback and provide data to management for opportunities we continuously here from our clients.
Accurately depict key points from conversations and allows for different brief themes to quickly get the information needed for teammates throughout the organization.
From an admin perspective, the platform is very easy to navigate, build and launch new content and informational pages for our team.
The search feature within the platform is very accurate and does a great job of curating the top content based off of what our reps are looking for.
The ability for our reps to hit 'edit in word online' or 'edit in Excel online' is great because our reps don't have to download a doc, edit it and then re-upload into the system. Any changes they make are auto-saved and stored right in Highspot. They can then present straight from the platform.
Sometimes Gong doesn't understand the context of the sentence and mistranslates the transcripts, leading to confusion and requiring manual review.
The generated reports aren't as detailed, especially the Gong Engage reports. Extra steps are required to search for useful information, which is only available in the CSV files, which contain the complete information needed for proper analysis.
I would like a feature where I can automatically tag groups of calls, making it easier to search for information in transcripts without having to go call by call or do that work myself.
Gong is one of the best if not the best tools we have in or tech stack in terms of ROI and ease of use. The ai features that have been released over the past year have continued to add value and are not just shiny new features that don't get used. It is also an easy to use platform for our sales and customer success reps, takes very little time to become proficient in. The deal boards also provide great visibility into opps for management and leadership
I love Highspot, it saves me a ton of time every single day. I like how my correspondence looks professional and I know what I'm sending is accurate and company approved. I'm able to add it to an email template in seconds and choose multiple brochures if it fits the information the student wants or requested. I can also customize templates to make them company specific when appropriate
It does great for all the things I've mentioned. I didn't give it a 10/10 because I still think there is room to improve as far as improving the quality of the insights that are more actionable. I.e. this happened so you should think about doing this thing as a next step.
It is a very intuitive website with easy navigation. I am also able to search by market name alone to get all the information that I need within that market. It is only as good as the information you place into it, but the naming conventions should be standard across the board.
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 have not needed any customer support until now, I guess this is because they work on a proactive maintenance of the platform. We have an internal team working with Highspot so if I need help I go to my internal team not directly to Highspot. I have never heard any complaints.
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.
Dropbox was sufficient for storing content in an easy to access space but, provided us no value beyond that. SharePoint actually made us less productive due to the amount of time our sales team had to spend searching for the right piece of content. Neither solution provided us any analytics as to what content was being used/engaged with.
Highspot provided us with intuitive content search and organization with the ability to tag keywords, search queries, and fine-tune categorization of all of our content. Highspot also provided us with direct feedback when our customer or prospective customers were viewing content which enabled us to follow-up at the perfect time and was directly attributed to several closed won opportunities. Their Outlook integration is the icing on the top as it allows our sales team to share content, access email templates, and link communication back to Salesforce without ever having to leave the email client. With these features combined Highspot has made me drastically more productive and efficient in my work.
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.
