N/A
My favorite tool I've used in sales
What do you like best about the product?
The mobile app has been revolutionary for me because I can now listen to reps on my way to work doing closing calls. The analytics always intrigue me as well since the data can be useful to selling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Upload times can be very inconsistent from the time I end call to the time it is in Gong ready for review. I wish I could search for any words and it could pop up the conversations. It can be a hard system to get use to with all the different analytics and UI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits have been huge with being able to learn from the best without getting in their way trying to shadow. I recently started the job so learning how people pitch different products and handle objections was useful.
To ensure Customer Success, customer narrative is the secret sauce to any retention data model.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to go to specific points of customer interest or identified risk and not lose anything in written translation.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it's only used as an internal coaching tool. It's insight into the relationships we have with our customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal and External assessment for diversification in our ongoing engagement for customer success.
THE #1 SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR ANY SALES REP!
What do you like best about the product?
I do not know how our team did their jobs without Gong. When hiring a new rep, ramp time is significantly faster as they can listen to demos/calls on their own time (and you never have the issue of saying 'wow I wish you were on that call, it was a good one' because its always recorded!) The analytics are really amazing for reps (we just had Gong present at our SKO on best/worst practices of the sales team - which the reps loved!). Overall it's beyond amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Crazy to say a software works exactly as expected - but it does!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems solved:
- ease of ramping new hires
- ongoing training of sales reps
- more insight/oversight into calls
Benefits:
- speed to ramp new hires
- easier way for managers to identify struggling reps and work quickly to improve
- great way for Product/Engineering to hear "asks" from prospects without have to join calls live
- allows for reps to self critique to speed improvement

Customer Success Zappi Review
What do you like best about the product?
The automated analysis and key next steps

What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that it shows up as an attendee on Zoom.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Focusing on letting the customer talk more than I do; having it take down action items for me so I can be involved in the convo and not jotting down notes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Figure out a way to identify certain types of convos that make sense to your org, so that people can easily find those pertinent topics.
Great experience, no need to take notes anymore
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Gong picks up on the different stages of the conversations and can point me to the parts that matter the most.
Reviewing calls is made easy as it integrates with different tools we use here (CRM, online meetings, calendar, etc.)
The mobile app is also very useful as I can review calls on my own time (commute, in remote locations, etc) without having to open my computer.
Adding comments to a conversation also saves us time: we don'e need the whole team to be there during the whole call. We tag relevant people after the fact to get them to listen to the part of a conversation that matters to them. Saving a lot of time (and money) to the company.

What do you dislike about the product?
The TTS has some challenges with some accents but is great overall.
Setting up and integration with our tools proved initially challenging as it seems that when we change the password to one of our applications, we tend to get disconnected. Checking our settings at regular intervals easily solved that issue and got Gong to work fine again. Making the disconnections notifications more obvious would help.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
not sure what the customer said -> check Gong
one of your team members had a great conversation and you would like the whole team to use that technique -> see Gong
did we follow the defined call process and go through the recommended steps of the conversation -> check Gong

Try it, you will be bluffed.
We tried several recording tools before adopting Gong and this is the only one that actually delivered value and was easy to use

User-friendly note taking that creates great efficiencies
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to handle online demonstrations without furiously writing notes down. I can focus on giving the presentation and connecting with the client and not worry about missing anything.
Listening to calls at an accelerated rate allows me to review hour long calls in 30 mins or less, creating significant efficiencies.
Reviewing calls from across the sales organization that would have otherwise been impossible to get to or relate on.
Mobile app usage is very user friendly

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the transcript on voice recognition is a bit off. The words get thrown off a bit on the action items at times, where we are saying "I will follow up...." or "Confirming we will do this ned"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to connect common experiences, objections, competition identification, and overall themes across the county. We run independent sales cycles all over the board, but with Gong we can quickly connect and review meetings and talking points from all presentations.
Accurate action items and next steps coming out of meetings. One of the biggest areas of benefit is in email follow up and resources shared after the call or meeting has been completed.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The playback feature is fantastic to listen and take a third party perspective on the meeting. When presenting, sometimes we get lost in the moment, or do not realize how much we are dominating the conversations. The call statistics and practices across the community are really valuable. I never realized how long or how short the "pauses" in conversation can be. The coaching aspects allow users and managers to take this to another level.
To those looking at the value of the system, it immediately will have an impact on the way your sales team reviews and prepares for calls and/or meetings. New or ramping employees will have a significantly better experience being able to access all different formats of examples. Topics and meetings could be tagged with key identifiers like competition, pricing, procurement, legal, and overall objection handling. Overall a strong recommendation from the group.

Efficient, Thorough, Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The transcript and search function. Since implementing Gong I have been able to search key phrases to go back and listen to in order to collect product feedback more effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like the ability to view my team's calls, but I would like to find my calls on the home page more easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Gong solves for me is sharing call content. It is so much easier to tag an agent in a section of a call, make a note, and have them go back and listen.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the benefits of having calls transcribed so you can quickly search, tag, and review to segments of calls. Make sure to read the set up emails, Gong does a great job of educating new users through this channel.
I liken it to watching film for football, very helpful.
What do you like best about the product?
the stats you get about yourself and others
What do you dislike about the product?
not all calls get recorded, so sometimes a call I really want feedback on isn't recorded
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i'm solving the issue of using filler words and working on my cadence
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're ok with being self critical and hearing yourself talk then implement gong
