Overall Satisfaction with Gong

I am an Enterprise Customer Success Manager who uses the tool in my everyday process. The tool solves for many problems, one in which is a source to review, document notes and review activity timelines easily. In today's business, time is a luxury. To have this system be the single source for follow-up, timing and coaching is amazing.

Pros

  • Ease of software
  • Helpful resources based on my role
  • AI notes
  • Easy way to categorize and find call topics/history

Cons

  • Deal progression / revenue component is light
  • Sometimes errors with Gong following calls
  • Lack of automation when it comes to using recordings routinely
  • Saves at least 5 hours a week on note taking and customer follow-up.
  • I was able to improve certain skillsets, one being increase 2x my question rate per hour.
Seamless, easy to understand and get around without much research. Between the simplistic options and the fluid layout, I easily got in the tool on day one and found value. I did not need onboarding calls as an end user to easily take advantage of the platform. Which when you have 20+ accounts to manage, time is important.
Yes, but as mentioned in a prior question, I don't use this feature very often. When it comes to deal management, I use other tools to help close deals. Where I see the most benefit, is just in the timeline, showing how many calls and with one seniority have I had.
Deal acceleration is important. The overall insights into activity is helpful when understanding what the common trends are. Obviously, other tools help with this. But Gong allows the end user to do their own analysis and put together an action plan.
I do not have line of site into the evaluation.

Did Gong live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Gong go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Gong again?

Yes

They are leaders in the call recording space. The organization has done a great job harnessing that power and creating compelling use cases for all revenue driven roles. Only downside is when you are the leader in the space, flexibility with commercials and ways to push the product are limited.
