Overall Satisfaction with Gong.io

Gong.io is being used in our commercial and field sales teams. It is only being used within the sales arm of the organization, however, there is a plan of extending it to the customer success, support, and launch teams to give them more insight into the customer's buying journey. It allows us to keep track of calls with our customers and identify key insights throughout the buying process.
  • Recording your calls and provides an easy interface to skip throughout the call
  • Provides actionable insights into the calls
  • Archives all of the calls allowing you to access them whenever you need
  • Instead of saying certain stats are against industry-standard, giving some sort of deviation to the industry standard as it relates to call statistics
  • Transcribe text better. I often find words completely out of context
  • Stop sending me an email about my recorded calls every morning
  • Gong.io has allowed me to send recordings of both calls and demonstrations to our clients.
  • Gong.io has allowed me to become better as a sales rep to go back and listen to my calls.
  • Gong.io has allowed my managers to go and listen to key parts of the conversation of a deal to better forecast the business.
Gong.io stacks up much better against SalesLoft as I feel there is a main value is providing a sales tool to help you record your calls. SalesLoft's core feature is to house your data with a peripheral call recording feature, not a core function.
I look at my calls and the average statistics as it relates to those calls. These reports partially meet my needs. While it is useful to know I am doing well against the industry average, I would like to go further than that and see how far my deviation from that industry average is.
Gong.io is very well suited for anybody who has to relate to the sales function of an organization. This includes but is not limited to Customer Success i.e. when a closed-won is being passed over to support, they can hear the call a sales rep has had with them and pass it over or a launch specialist so they have a firm understanding of the vision that was painted for the client.

It is not well suited for marketing based organizations that don't put as much stock into sales or quarterly targets.
