Analysis of big amount of calls

Hello community! I'm looking into using Gong to analyze a high volume of calls to understand trends and gather actionable information and insights. For example, one use case would be to understand the most common objections from one specific team over the course of the last 3 months. Is there a way to do this with Gong? Looking forward to hearing from you. Chiara

Salesforce sync - From task to event

Hi hive minds, I recently connected Gong with SalesForce and I realized a bit late that the whole export of meetings and calls were exported as tasks and not events. Now I changed the settings, but I am left with appr. 200 records in Salesforce protocolled as tasks. Do you have any best use cases how to modify them to events? Or this happens then automatically with the sync? Thank you for any feedbacks on this, Daniel

Multiple currency issue with Gong Forecast

Hoping the hive mind can help me since I’m not getting a lot of response from Gong Support! We are having an issue with deal boards/forecasts converting deal amounts incorrectly. We have multiple currencies turned on, and the personal currency of the integration user matches our corporate currency. Yes the conversions are wrong. This is an urgent issue so please let me know know if you’ve run into the same problem and come up with a solution. Thanks.

Salesforce Revenue Intelligence with Gong

Hi there, I am currently working with my internal teams to roll out Gong to our wider organization and one of the teams we will be working with in the future uses Salesforce Revenue Intelligence. So, I wanted to see if there is anyone out there that uses both Gong and Salesforce Revenue Intelligence in their organization and what their experience was working with both in combination. Thanks in advance! Darren

Business number for UAE?

I am setting up my users with Gong Connect (with Engage) and one of my users is located in United Arab Emirates. However, there are no business numbers available for that country code (971). Is that coming or do I just have to pick another country?

What is your number one (1) pain point Gong will help you solve?

We record our calls for Sales and Customer Success. However, wading through 500 calls to find the most important calls to review and collaborate on is a nightmare. I’m stoked with the ability to quickly view in a dashboard which call led to closed/won, or closed/lost status. This has led to increased trust, and communication with my teams when we listen, review, and identify ways to improve our pitch, communication style, and overcome objections I may not have been aware of. The feedback becomes objective vs. subjective. What are your thoughts?

Stakeholder Buy-in "3 step"

I’ve found the best method for getting stakeholder buy-in is the following 3-step process: 1 - Overcome common rep objections Share Gong’s value in initial communications including- call transcripts alleviate traditional note taking prep your next call from Gong’s record of prospect’s main questions Gong tracks every action item for complete follow-up Reps can listen to calls from top reps to learn what good sounds like 2 - Have executive leadership bridge the gap Work with an executive leader commit to the following 3 items in the first 30 days- record and share a Loom video about goals with Gong and how it can help reps and managers attend team meetings to voice support share proof (we’ve been lucky that leaders have used Gong in the past and shared those experiences) 3 - Author a living document with the A-team (tech admin, champions, FLM, exec) - We’ve called this document a Joint Success Plan (JSP) in the past. The JSP that acts as a collection point of mutually agreed upon - Busi

What is it referencing?

What Happened to Gong Assists?

I understand Gong Assists has turned into Gong Engage. However, what happened to the Assists where Gong suggested reaching out to a contact? In the S1 E2 of How Visioneers Use Gong, the guest talks about starting his day in Gong Assists to see what’s going on. Is this no longer a capability?

Year 3- Scaling back to focus on increasing adoption

We attempted to expand usage across the world in year 2 of our Gong journey but found it was wildly more difficult than we anticipated based on our successful pilot in North America. We decided to scale back this year to focus on creating deeper value in North America and use those wins to re-approach our adoption in other regions. To start, we’ll increase our usage of Gong for coaching around discovery and sales methodology.

Delete Recordings where Customer Doesn't Attend

Hey Gong Community! Is there a way to easily find all calls that the customer doesn’t end up attending, so that I can delete them? Or better yet, is there a way to have them automatically deleted? I’ve found some calls where our reps are on the line for ten minutes talking to each other, and then the call ends because the customer never showed up. We don’t want to have those calls as it affects our overall call data.
