Gong - It's a game changer for all the right reasons
Overall Satisfaction with Gong
Onboarding new sales reps and BDRs is an important process within our business, but we have always wanted to be able to do it in a more efficient manner and ultimately allow for self-learning and development. We have needed to reduce ramp uptime and get the team selling quicker while always having the chance to learn and track performance. The business also wanted to support team leaders and give them the chance to coach and develop new sales talent through real-life examples. We also wanted to track what the market was saying, was the messaging we had released to the market landing and making an impact and therefore increasing our brand presence, and if not, how could we change that message with real-world examples and ultimately drive better funnel and sales performance.
Pros
- Reduced ramp up time by a full quarter for new sales and BDRs
- Improved opportunity management
- Coaching of existing team members for continuous improvement
- Allowed us to adjust messaging and give us market clarity
Cons
- Dashboard functionality needs to be more flexible
- Transcripts can sometimes be poor
- More details on opportunities
- Reduce ramp up time down to 1-2 months for new hires
- Increase conversion metrics in the marketing funnel by 15%
- Alignment between sales and the buyers because we hear the pain points and can tailor the message to support the customer
We are a user of both Salesloft and Salesforce, but during our review, it was clear that Gong was the market leader in terms of offering AI and actionable insights, being able to create trackers, have transcriptions. The fact that it integrated seamlessly with the above platforms was a key decision as it ensured we did not need to change our process.
