Overall Satisfaction with Gong

Gong is used in our organization for call recording. Recordings support coaching for management along with supporting tracking of customer trends and driving a consistent narrative across a sales org. For reps like me, it's an invaluable tool to leverage as notes so I can be more present on calls/focus on listening, track my stats like how often am I talking/customer, and ask for coaching assistance across key areas. Therefore the biggest business areas impacted are improving coaching for management and improving reps' skill & consistency - leading to greater revenue generation.
  • Coaching support
  • Customer notes & soundbites
  • Sales stats for improvement
  • Less feature releases - getting a bit busy
  • More summarized reporting on trends
  • Sync with Salesforce accounts is hit or miss
  • Improved productivity
  • Upskilling
  • Greater alignment with organization's narrative & go to market strategy
Very easy to use. Features are self-explanatory. A strong algorithm identifies which call you are looking for in a few keystrokes. Very easy to share calls across the team & org.
Somewhat. I'd say a big area of improvement for Gong is sharing on a rep level areas of improvement bi-weekly or monthly. Something as simple as a scorecard for the month across a few metrics already being tracked could be a great way to help reps set tangible goals on their skills and remain accountable for their progress. Furthermore, sharing out customer trends is a huge area of opportunity. It would be great to have a monthly report on - the most common challenges from customers in May, etc to help improve narrative & discovery with prospects

Would you buy Gong again?

Gong is well suited for organizations looking to standardize their sales narrative and provide effective coaching, especially in a remote environment. For managers it's essential to know what your team is doing and for reps to be able to flag specific calls/areas they need support so managers who cannot be present on calls can share feedback. Similarly, Gong is a great tool for peer feedback and individual improvement. I've reviewed my calls countless times and taken away a new soundbite I forgot about and/or area I can improve my pitch on every listen.
