FOR GONG CUSTOMERS

Hello! My Organization is using Smart Trackers to help track our Value conversations. We would love the ability for our leadership team to be notified when a call is flagged by the smart tracker, so we can audit calls containing our specific Value Outcomes vs Success Plan creation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Community - Well, it’s the end of Q1 for many and I hope every did well.   I am looking for any insight or suggestions on how my fellow Gong users do any sort of a post game analysis of closed won or closed lost deals.  I know there is win rate info in Gong but what other factors or metrics do you look at in terms of finding patterns in closed won business?   Same for closed lost.   For example, I can see in my deals that two topics in particular (What we do + training and support) when talked about as the #1 and #2 topics closed much faster and much more predictably than other deals in our pipe.  However, there is no way that I can see to extract this data easily w/o digging deep into each individual opportunity.   Ultimately, I am looking for commonalities that I can use to help forecast more accurately and make my business more efficient.   If anyone has ideas and wants to chat please let me know.   Thanks!  Joe 

Hi all,I’m trying to figure out a better way to track the way our SC’s position our solutions on their calls. The problem is that our SCs do not “own” the calls they participate in - the AE does. Because they do not “own” the call, Gong doesn’t seem to be able to track the topics and trackers that they trigger on their calls.Does anyone have any best practices on how they use Gong to measure Solution Consultant productivity and efficiency? Thank you!

We are using the calls API to get the Gong calls for our customers, but that endpoint returns results from the earliest recorded calls to the latest. Meaning we have to paginate all the way to the end, which can be a lot, to get to the latest calls. Is there any for that endpoint to give us the data in the reverse order? with the latest calls coming first. Thanks! 

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. 

Is there any benefit to using Read-Only integration vs Gong for Salesforce Managed Package? From what I’ve read, Managed Package has all the advantages. Is there any reason not to install it? What is the best way to train sales leaders and reps how to use Gong for Salesforce Managed Package after it is installed?

New to Gong for Salesforce?Already using it and want to take it to the next level?  Watch a recording of @Shif Arad and Dor Sened, two names synonymous with Gong for Salesforce, lead us through a very informative session on Gong for Salesforce. I know Gong and Salesforce pretty well and I walked away with a lot of new information and tips.  HIGHLIGHTS:  Data Enrichment:How many times have you wanted to add contacts that Gong automatically captures, through its visibili

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? 

Hi Gong Community, and especially Customer Success (Enablement) folks!I’m looking to use Gong for reporting about our activities within Customer Success. We have now launched the following aspects:Topics for Customer Success Trackers for Customer Success Smart Trackers for Customer SuccessThe next step is to leverage this information for internal reporting, within the team, for our team leads and for the stakeholders above. I am curious to get inspired on what you do to create transparency!What information do you report on regularly within the 1:1s you have, the team meetings, your leads and leads’ leads? How do you check how your customer calls impact pipeline? Do you follow call naming conventions to analyse certain types of calls? Do you leverage CRM information to build certain reports, track campaigns or topic performance? In Customer Success, we are not the p

Hello,We have Gong integrated with Salesforce and I wanted to know if we can sync in Salesforce which are the call invitees and participants in the Event that is created in Salesforce related to that call.Thank you, 

Thank you to everyone who shared their Gong Deals best practice last month.  Please join me in congratulating our WINNER…@Abhishek Humney, Revenue Enablement Manager at Postman! 👏🥳🎉 In his video, Abhishek shared how he uses Gong Deals to standardize certifications, gain insights, and up-level Sales stars at Postman.

Hey there!I have ~50 interactions where the Call participant ID is not being pushed over from Gong to Salesforce.Looking to make reports in there for total duration of customer facing calls each sales representative is on, but these ones just won’t pull in for some reasonI’m able to click through to them though and see that there is a recording existing in Gong, so its strange that its not syncing like the rest of the ones we haveAdditionally, does anyone know what metrics would be best used to track if multiple internal people were on a call? It seems to just be defaulting and rolling up to one of them

Under the Insights tab, you’ll see “based on # calls.” You filtered the page by “All calls,” and it’s not showing the exact number of calls you’re seeing under your Conversations

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

Hi,Access to a section of a call I shared with a client has expired.  Can I extend it, or do I have to re-crop and send it again?Thanks

Thanks to everyone that attended today’s Community Meetup focused on making the most of your data in Gong. We were pleased to see a number of Gong employees from the Product Analytics Team and Value Engineering team. They are curious to hear from Gong customers, and we expect to have them join future meetups. It’s a great opportunity to get insight into current and future features.  Thank you @Or Farber, @Assaf Levinson, and @Claudia McSweeneyThank you @Pete Thornton, @Marissa Lough, and @Deborah Deardorff for your contributions. I really like Pete’s comment on the “potential of data”. So t

Gong Deals has been excellent to streamline Gong and Salesforce integration!Instead of getting confused with multiple Salesforce reports and staying limited to data displayed in the CRM, with Gong Deals we can have a full view of how our negotiation approach is working (or not!).We can have all we need in one place (Accounts, Opportunities, Events and Tasks) and that has been crucial for our Sales Engagement strategy. And not only for new business, but also to guarantee renewals (moreover when they are at a right risk!).We started using Gong for the Sales Team, so they could a have a complete visibility about how the demos were going and, some months later, our Customer Success team also embraced the software and started using Gong to get prepared for renewals.Our next step, is to incorporate Gong in our Marketing processes.   

We have been using the Deals dashboard to have more effective pipeline reviews with our account executives.  Recently we added specific keyword trackers under our Stalled Opportunities column mentioned by people outside of our organization in which they said “first quarter, january, next year, q1” to try and find those opportunities that tried to kick the can down the road into the new year.  We quickly identified lapsed opportunities and looked at the activity timeline leading up to where we’re currently at.  Managers are able to jump in and assist in follow up or gently nudge reps with advice on how to progress the sale.  

We use Gong Deal boards for our Customer Success team to forecast renewals, up-sells, and cross-sells.We’ve set up boards that give us visibility to the Renewable $, Upgrades, Downgrades, and mix of One-Time vs. Software vs. Services. We have these set up as calculated columns from our CRM (HubSpot) that are then visible in the Gong Deal Boards.We use the board every week in our team meetings to drive the conversation on deal pipeline which serves as an input towards forecasting our Net Revenue Retention.

If a seller logs a call in Salesforce that is not recorded, it doesn't pull over to Gong... is it possible to log a completed task in gong to get a full representation of what's happening with the account?   While I know a seller could just create fake logged calls I can manage that on my end.   Is there a way, either programmatically or more manually to get “credit” for a logged call?  I ask b/c one of the things we track closely is activity (or lack of) so if a rep is making attempts to connect I want to see that and for them to get the “credit” for it.   Is this possible and/or how can we do so?
