How Can a Center of Excellence Support Your Gong Launch?
How Can a Center of Excellence Support Your Gong Launch?

Great question! A Center of Excellence, also known as a COE is a committee and central hub of resources formulated to accomplish two key things: ENSURE ALIGNMENT: COE's are designed to comprehensively orient multiple teams around the unified processes, platforms, and operations of a specific initiative. FOSTER ADVANCEMENT: The approaches executed by a COE should intend to go beyond what has already been done before in the organization.  This committee can be used for a variety of projects, one being your implementation of Gong. TIP: In Gong Academy you can view a full course about how to develop a COE and use it for the purpose of implementing Gong.  A COE is typically initiated when a company is approaching brand new ground and you need your best hands on deck. You might be expanding into new markets, exploring a new territory, introducing a new strategic product, or developing a new team. What differentiates the concept of a COE from a traditional task force is that it is designed

Flex your team's feedback muscle

Systematically evaluating and offering feedback on behaviors can prove challenging, and yet it’s one of the most critical components of building skills and developing a strong coaching culture. If you’re looking to better support your team’s growth through feedback, you’re probably wondering how to:  Hold every rep to the same standards  Deliver consistent feedback on critical soft skills Track each team member’s performance over time Align feedback to motions that support key business initiatives   Scorecards provide a framework that helps you tackle these questions. With scorecards in place, your entire team has the ability to rate and give feedback on a specific call, and you can adopt a more programmatic approach to upleveling your revenue org.  Let’s look at five ways you can use scorecards to improve your existing coaching and enablement efforts. Standardize onboarding benchmarks How do you really know new hires are ready for their own book of business?

How to use Gong to create, track, and measure your onboarding strategy

“Hello! I’m looking for some insight into how to measure success for my sales onboarding programs. What other metrics do you use to measure success, apart from time to first milestone and % quota attainment for AEs?” Great question! The good news? You aren’t alone. We come across this dilemma quite often from new Gong customers, and for a good reason! When I was a Sales Enablement Specialist at my previous organization, operationalizing and measuring the effectiveness of onboarding was one of our top challenges. The fundamental problem with outdated onboarding programs is simple: they function on opinions, not the reality. Pre-Gong, organizations measured the effectiveness of a program almost completely based on quota attainment: Did the sales rep hit their quota or not? Pretty straightforward, right? Sure… however i’d argue its almost too straightforward. If you have any background working with sales teams, you know there is a lot that goes into the making of a successful sales profes
