Overall Satisfaction with Gong

We use Gong to record our calls, both internal and external. For internal calls, we will record important meetings that not everyone can attend, so that they can go back and listen to it later. This allows us to have time-sensitive meetings even when someone is out. For external calls, we record everything (with permission). This helps out tremendously with training as there is a library of calls to go through with examples of almost every outcome possible. New hires will be able to hear how pitch calls go and how to handle certain issues that may come up. It also allows us to not be caught up with taking notes on the calls and be present, since you can just look up important details and topics mentioned after the call.
  • The transcript feature is handy and mostly very accurate
  • It allows you to organize calls in the way that you want (by topic, by outcome, by step, etc.)
  • It is able to be integrated with the tools that we use
  • The transcript isn't perfect, but you can determine where you need to listen to from it
  • The search feature could be improved, sometimes it is hard to find a specific call if what you searched isn't in the title
  • It's saved time by not having to have the same meeting more than once to accommodate people out and by not having to spend the whole time taking notes
  • It helps with external communication as you do not need to reach out multiple times for information talked about on a call
  • It helps align everyone on the team since they can go back and listen
It is very easy to implement and requires basically no work from the user once connected. I knocked a point off because the integration to one of my apps didn't work for a little bit and took some time to fix. It was eventually fixed, though.
The Gong insights are interesting and provide a good look at how calls are going. They have your stats compared to best practice stats to which allows you to improve your calls and response time. I have not looked too much into how they benefit business as I need to change some practices and compare to see if business/customer satisfaction increases.
It allows you to see where certain conversation topics appear in calls (whether good or bad) - you can then see how the deal went from there and if there is a correlation with these topics. You can also see what customers are speaking about on their calls and if they are all going through the same sorts of things.

It is an awesome recording app which allows you to record conversations in real time. This is very helpful when you do not have the time to take detailed notes or you want to feel present in the conversation. A time it is less appropriate are for routine internal calls of smaller importance or 1:1s where you would not want the whole company to see/hear what was said.
