COACHING

My team (Solutions Engineering) are rarely the hosts of calls, but I’m looking to create a report (or a filter, or anything really) that showcases their calls without needing to cross-reference their calendars.  Wondering if anyone has suggestions. We leverage sfdc as our CRM, perhaps there’s a way to create reports based on opportunity teams, and see them from there?  

I want to put reps on teams to be able to measure achievements during a short-term sales competition.SO while a rep’s “permanent” team might be SMB1 or “Nick’s Team”, I want to add them to another team (envision calling it something like “Spring Training - Team 4”) in order to track a group of reps during this month’s sales contest.  Can it be done?

Gong is the only tool you need to run your 1:1s. With all of the valuable, fact-based information that lives in Gong, managers have everything they need to facilitate impactful coaching opportunities with their reps.    This is going to push many people’s Gong knowledge. If you have lived primarily in the Calls and Deals Tab you will now explore new application areas.  This is a list of recommended Gong pages to use to run your 1:1s.   FOCUS AREA WHERE IN GONG VALUE Upcoming Meetings ACTIVITY Tab View upcoming meetings  Identify where you can help  Instruct rep where to focus attention  View meeting follow ups in same window Deal Status DEALS Tab Identify risk using warnings Understand next steps  Use multiple boards (All, Outliers, Deals with Warnings etc.) Deal Risks  TEAM Tab Deal Drivers  Identify pipeline trouble spots Coaching  Check-In TEAM Tab Coa

Hello! I’m curious to know if any fellow Gong community members have implemented Gong coaching metrics in comp plans? We’re using “Calls Listened to” for ramping MBOs- so far so good!     

 The first 5 users who comment will receive a pair of Gong socks!    Coaching has a HUGE impact on win rates, ramp times for new hires, and job satisfaction across your team. Gong has built-in tools to help you coach effectively and improve in each of these areas.  Question for Sales managers: Which Gong approach are you currently using for coaching? Some ways we love to coach are: We use @mentions in the “Comments” section on calls to praise publicly. We use @mentions in the “Comments” section on calls to coach privately. We ask reps to send at least one call (good or bad) for review a few days before 1:1 meetings with their manager/coach using either the “Feedback” option on their call or by tagging their manager in a comment. We create folders in the Call Library for topics like skills and areas of improvement. We then add calls to them and make comments to guide users on key takeaways in those calls. We use Gong filters for alerts about calls that may require coaching. That

One area of focus for our sales team will be having them speak more more to value than feature dumping. Does anyone have any suggestions on how Gong can be leveraged to notify AE managers when value is discussed on calls proactively? Or said another way, what’s a good way to highlight AEs who spend time talking features vs value?Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. 

Feeling time crunched? If you don’t have time to search Gong calls, get your reps to surface them for you! There are two ways to do this using hashtags:  Live note taker: When your rep is on a live web conference call, they can go to the Gong homepage, where they’ll see a Take notes button. They can open it to access a live note pad where they can take notes and drop in hashtags. So, for example, if your rep is on a discovery call, they can add #discovery to the note taker. You can search for that hashtag later on.   Call commenting: When your reps listen to recorded Gong calls after the fact, they can also drop in #discovery. Then when you enter #discovery into the search bar at the top of a Gong page, you’ll see a list of everywhere it was used. If you hear an impressive track, add it to your Call Library so other reps can hear it.  If you want this approach to succeed, decide exactly what you want tagged and choose a simple hashtag for it (e.g., #discovery, #objection, #pricing).
