How Gong Uses Gong: Crafting and measuring the perfect messaging

On today’s episode of Gong on Gong, Director of Product Marketing @victoria.chernova shares how she uses Gong to create effective messaging, measure adoption, and uncover the market’s response. Marketers and non-marketers alike, this one’s for you! Keep reading (or if you’re a Gong customer, watch the video walkthrough here) to get the blueprint for creating messaging that resonates and drives revenue. Victoria’s challenge: Hearing from customers without needing to ask for face time. “Prior to Gong, I had to rely on a very small sample set. With Gong, I can hear from dozens of customers at twice the speed.” Victoria’s superpower: The ability to get closer to the customer (and therefore getting closer to the revenue) “The best messaging is rooted in customer research. Messaging won't resonate, drive leads, or help your field teams close deals if it's not rooted in customer reality. Great messaging identifies and names a customer's pain, and what's even more powerful is if we use their o

What do you do every morning to set yourself up for success?

This year, one of my goals is to establish a more consistent morning routine. Now that I have a new puppy, I've had to shift my routine a bit to make sure that she and I are both taken care of before I start work in the morning! One thing I've been trying to do more of in the mornings is practice gratitude. I recently bought the Five Minute Journal and have been writing down three things that I'm grateful for and a couple of daily affirmations to help positively shape my day. What is your morning routine? What are the things you do in the AM that help you get ready for the day? ☀️

What does winning sound like to you? 🏆

You know how good winning feels. But how does it sound?? This video on the Gong LinkedIn page has me feeling super hyped and wondering what winning sounds like to you. To me, it sounds like Alex Toussaint saying "Feel good, look good, do better!" as I finish a super hard Peloton ride. I also loved this comment from Caleb Norris on that LinkedIn post:"It's that random interrupting "YES" when you're on a training call, and you look up to see one of your SDRs fist pumping because they just had a prospect agree to a demo! It never gets old!" So...what does winning sound like to you??

How to end a sales slump (from someone who’s been there… and back)

Did you end 2021 with the numbers you’d envisioned? If not, I’ve got some tips to share. In sales, there are always peaks and valleys. Sometimes it feels like an energizing walk on a sunny day, and at others, it feels like an uphill trudge. When things are going well, it seems like the good times will never end, but sales slumps happen to the best of us. Your sales slump, your spirits slump, and it’s an all-around bummer of a situation. The magnificent sevenIf you’ve been there before, or are there now, there are seven questions you can ask yourself to help turn things around. Each answer contains information that’s vital to getting (or remaining) on track and avoiding sales slumps in the future: What was the general situation around your last slump (think of risks, market context, company/team dynamics, etc.)? Is that comparable to what’s happening now? How did you eventually turn things around? What worked and what didn’t work? Would any of those ideas or tactics be useful i

On being an (empathetic) SDR manager

tl;drTop three moves of an inspiring SDR manager: Support, motivate, empower, trust, and challenge your people. Care about their mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Reframe your past hurdles in a productive and positive light and help others do the same. I knew one month into my first Sales Development Representative (SDR) role at Glassdoor in 2015 that I loved being part of leadership. The hiring manager, Marie, (my now mentor and a dear friend) took a chance on me when I had zero tech/SAAS/SDR experience. Marie transformed my life as an SDR and a human being by providing inspiring leadership. It came in the form of support, motivation, empowerment, trust, and challenges. Marie took a genuine interest in my whole being—in my mental, physical, and emotional health. She encouraged me to take vacation days and mental health days, knowing I would be a much stronger salesperson, leader, and teammate if I cared for myself outside my job. Through her actions and compassion, she
