FOR GONG CUSTOMERS

Appreciate you welcoming me as a first-time host to the Gong Data Community Meet-up!Great participation from those who host a goldmine of data in Gong and were seeking methods to leverage it to improve revenue outcomes.  To help everyone visualize this, we offered a “show and tell” of how 1 Gong customer answered the following with their data:Where is our reachable revenue? What are A-players doing that the middle is NOT? How can we reinforce A-player habits to move the middle?If you missed it, please feel free to catch the recording here. And if you’d care to join us next time, block your calendar for August 9th at 1 pm EST!

I am a System Administrator for my company, and we are trying to upload calls for two given users from another system to Gong. I noticed I do not have the correct permission set to do so, as the option is greyed out. Does this require a professional seat to do?

Once you have create a search in the conversation page is there a way to count the number of pins are associated with each conversation or participant and report out on that. So for example if we have a tracker about askingn questions in a conversation I would ike to know how many times the host asked questions.

Hello,There is an initiative in my organization that I want to track via Opportunity name. I noticed that the Deal Dashboard has a locked column for Deal name. Is there a way to filter this column or find an alternative method to track initiatives using Opportunity name? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! We have some mutual customers who are requesting a Gong integration. We’re not Gong customers (we don’t have a sales process that requires it), but we need a sandbox account to test the integration.  The Integration Partner guide seems to require having an existing Gong account; is it possible to get a sandbox account without being a customer, to build for mutual customers? 

We are trying to build a deal board to display all upsell deals, including those from our CSMs. However, CSMs only have collaborator licenses in Gong. Is it still possible to have their opportunities show up on this deal board?

We have a list of current customers that we’d like to target to upgrade to our latest product. We want to track activity of those accounts, and the best place to do so seems like building out a Deal Board. However, I can’t find a way to build a board that includes the 42 accounts we have in our list. Is there a way to manually select which accounts are included in a Deal Board?

The image below shows the effect multi-threading has on winning new business deals:  This screenshot is pulled from a Multi-Threading YouTube video that referenced a Gong study.  Is there a way we can run an analysis like this for our internal team based on OUR data? Want to know how much effect multi-threading has on our deals.  We currently have the Gong for Salesforce package installed. I'm guessing we would maybe need to utilize a business intelligence platform like Snowflake. Curious what the Community’s thoughts are. Would really like to see the correlation between the win rate and number of unique participants on calls/emails.

Hi! Many of the sales messages I do are though LinkedIn and Whatsapp which I log into Hubspot but they are not reflected in Deals Pipeline. Any trick? Should be this a feature request?

We use Gong Forecast heavily but we are challenged on how to manage the rollup.  Each manager has to calculate the rollup manually based on each of their reps forecast.  Is there a simpler way to do this?

Has anyone created scorecards to use as the template for reviewing deal health? We did not get the forecasting module in Gong, but I was thinking, in addition to reviewing the call with a scorecard, if anyone is also doing deal reviews. Feel free to post your questions if you use scorecards this way. 

Hi Community!Has anyone successfully implemented a way to categorise a call. It would be great to differentiate between a discovery call, demonstration etc. etc. and the only way I think it’s doable is through the comment #hashtag but Ideally I want to see this differently on the deal activity.Any ideas?

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

In this month’s meetup we discussed creative ways to measure team/ rep efficiency and productivity using Gong data. We were joined by Gongsters and Gong practitioners @Sunny Huang and Corey Fineman, who Gong entrusts to uncover insight using Gong data.   It was a timely day to talk about “how to measure” given today’s Gong Insights announcement. Corey and Sunny showed the visually appealing result of taking calls and email activity f

Hi Gong Community, Our sales enablement manager asked me if we can see when someone in power (Director, VP, C-Level) first JOINED a deal. To my understanding, there are two places we can track power in a deal:Deals → Win/Loss → Power in Deal: this displays win rate based on if the highest level of power involved in the deal at all Deals → Deal Drivers → No Power in Deal and deal closes in 30 days: this is what appears as a warning on the deal board as wellIs there a way to track the history of deals to see when power first joined?

We are using Gong to send users calls and emails back to the accounts they are working on. We also practice a sales methodology supported by the Korn Ferry sell app. I would like to take a look at automating our KF sell app through Gong activity, however, they are not currently capable of integrating with many of our other sales tools. Looking for creative solutions!

Folks, Our license is set to expire in another 10days & we need to download around 3000+ recorded calls with transcripts. Is there any API to download the calls fed in the call IDs which I can get from https://api.gong.io/v2/calls/?

Has anyone using Streams encountered a situation where you have had to notify and get consent from involved parties for the calls to be livestreamed into a folder? Also, is it accurate to say that once we turn on the Stream feature then anyone within the organization could then be able to set up Streams and will have the potential to include calls outside of the parameters we set?

I tried using AccessLogs as event-type but it has long list of logs including logins and i couldn’t find a way to filter only login eventlogs.  can someone please help me getting the login event logs or is there any filter to do it .Thanks 

Is there a PDF manual for Gong available for downloading?

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

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!
