CONFIGURING GONG

Can anyone explain why one would use call categories vs call libraries? Now with the ‘stream’ capabilities, it feels like the exact same thing, but one shows in the form of ‘folders’ and the other in form of ‘reports’ -- both can be automated based on filters and both can send notifications when a new call meets the criteria… Thanks

Is it possible to export the transcript of a call to a spreadsheet? I am wanting columns with Time, Speaker, and Transcribed Audio.

The AI in Call Spotlight is quite remarkable and accurate.  I find myself going in Spotlight on quite a few calls to ask a specific question and the results are insanely quick and helpful  Is there a way to customize Gong to automatically ask a specific question to bubble up this information without having to type the same query each time?  (The AI generated questions are not the right ones for me; but I’d settle for my question to be in that list that I could just click on)

Gong does not recognize the name of our company, “Accelo”. It often cites in transcripts “excel” or “a cell o”. I’m curious if we can teach Gong AI to recognize a new word? Thanks,Siobhan

How do I delete a field from the CRM Update when the field is not in the CRM Update settings?  

My compliance team has been making lots of private comments on calls for Quality Assurance and compliance.They want to download these en masse. How do i do that?The API only allows public comments as far as i can see?

Hi, i’m wondering if there is a way to organize tracking, etc, for a group of users that doesn’t neatly fall under one reporting structure. For example, I want to be able to monitor all users that service our enterprise vertical, but currently those users report into 3 different teams (sales vs success, multiple managers). Is there a way to create a custom “team” in this sense?

Hi everyone,I have two questions for you all:1. What are some important use cases of smart trackers and a few example sentences you guys are trying out?2. How are you setting up smart trackers for MEDDPICC?

I am working to improve my smart trackers as I am finding the results to be a bit lower than expected (and, of course, much lower than the sales reps believe it should be). I have tried the keywords trackers but find them to be a bit more inaccurate and the smart trackers provide more intuition and context with AI to help hone in on the messaging. My question(s) are: do you find it to be more constructive to use more words/phrases or less words/phrases? And is there any way to exclude words/phrases so that certain context or combinations are not tracked?Any and all help with this is appreciated.

What internet speed do you need in order to use gong?

Hello - I am rolling out Forecast and the team has been great.   However, I can’t seem to find any type of “how to” for my sales team outside of a pdf that walks a rep/seller exactly what they need to do to make their weekly forecast.   I have watched recorded trainings, looked for videos on youtube and I see a lot that talks at a highlevel.  What I really need is really specific stuff that I can use to show my team or share with my team that shows them this is exactly how you do your forecast.   Go into the Forecast, click your your name, click on commit, but when they get to their list of deals….I am not sure how to explain what they need do so once they get to the point in the attached screenshot.   I am guess its very easy.   A video from a Gong seller doing their own forecast would be super simple and an effective tool.   As of right now I am stalled.   Does something like this exist?   I can’t find it if so.   Thanks as always team.   Joe

Hi everybody,I’m curious about the smaller companies without a dedicated tech admin and very limited support from Gong. 1. How did you manage to navigate through the setup & integrations phase?2. What was the most helpful resource and why?3. What were the most challenging parts of the process? Thank you for the help! PS: sorry if somebody already asked about this, I just couldn’t see it anywhere. 

Hello -I have been using the Gong Call Library for years, but feel very limited by it’s functionaity. If possible could I suggest: Bulk adding of calls Less steps to add a call. Right now you have to go to the call page, select a folder, and click add. I would prefer if you could just click “add to library” from the listing of calls without having to click into the call page. The ability to drag and drop calls into the libraryThank you,Kelly

Hello - have you successfully created a filter to track an external participant’s use of a keyword tracker? 

Hello - I am starting to get my arms around initiatives.   One thing that would be helpful, and I don’t think too hard of an add, is giving longer time frames in the initiatives drop down.   Right now I can see my initiatives by week, month but I really want to start seeing them over the course of a quarter so I can spot trends.   Right now that is not possible.  Image attached to show what I mean.

Hello - I really appreciate the win/loss data and all the ways you can analyze.   However, I have multiple lines of business and the win ratios are very different.   One LOB has longer sales cycles and are multi threaded and the other is much more transactional with single points of contact.   As such, if I analyze all deals, the combined win/loss ratio gets skewed really fast and the data isn’t as meaningful.   I would love to be able to have multiple win/loss “boards” just like I can have more than one deal board.   As it stands now I need to keep adding and removing filters for each product family and then take screenshots if I want to share the data with others in the company.   This would be a really useful add in my opinion.   Thanks for listening.   Joe

GAP Selling is an increasingly popular sales methodology that relies on closing a gap between your prospect’s current and future state. If your team has recently switched to GAP Selling, or are thinking about it, fear not - Gong can help!Configuring Gong after adopting new messaging is crucial in tracking its adoption and success. As a CSM here at Gong, the first place I suggest my customers start is Trackers. For GAP Selling, I suggest breaking your Trackers into 6 pieces: Current State, Problem, Root Cause, Emotion, Future State, and Solution. Feel free to leverage GONG’s Guide to Gap Selling and the base Trackers below. Do not forget to customize these trackers further for your industry, product names, product value, discovery questions, and use cases!GAP SELLING Current State:current state, doing currently, doing now,  have in place, have set up currently, have today, looks like today, process look like today, process today, program in place, tell me about what that looks like now,

Scorecards create visibility that benefits reps, managers, the team, and the organization at large.   Scorecards are a great way to: Gauge how individual reps are performing and where they need help Understand overall patterns across the organization Create a positive rep-manager coaching culture  3 factors that make Scorecards successful A manager’s commitment to score calls regularly is key. Sporadic scoring is not effective.  A rep's commitment to embrace the feedback as input to improve is a must.  Engaging with Scorecards long enough to see the change happen  How to create a scorecard in 3 easy stepsBuild Score  Analyze   I've found that a little up front thought and planning will save a lot of time and get you better insight.   BUILD Test offline first Draft the scorecard outside of Gong, listen to and score a handful of calls to test the scorecard, and tweak as needed. This will save you time iterating in Gong, and you can cut and paste your fina

Is it possible to have one manager be a leader for two different teams? I want to see their statistics separately on the call interaction stats. I have one manager managing SDRs and AEs and need to report on them separately. 

Is there a capability with Gong to send alerts or an email whenever a keyword is heard in a gong call?

Hi, all! I help run Voice of the Customer at my company and we record all of our Customer Success calls with Gong. We currently track feedback in our product via feature request tags (we have about 700!) that we relate to specific customers in our home grown CRM. Right now, we manually tag customers based on emails, Gong calls, Slack messages, etc. and I am trying to see how we can automate this process. I know the trackers exist, but there aren’t necessarily always phrases or specific words that correlate directly with a feature request tag. I would love to be able to capture more complex feature requests and feedback snippets ideally by flagging them automatically, or alternatively, capturing them manually after the call, using our existing feature tag nomenclature. Then, I’d like to have that pulled into our product (more of a nice to have!).  Any tips? I’ve seen some similar questions, but not something specific to using tags in this way.  

When a scorecard is completed does the call organizer receive an email notification?

Anyone else having this issue where the Trackers (eg for Small Talk) page is empty? I was inspired to go check it out off the back of this excellent post by @Dana Feldman for anyone who might have missed it: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6930269921096441857/(As you can prob tell I’m itching to see what my aggregated small talk stats are and how they compare!)
