Marketer here 👋

 

One thing that I like to do is search in Gong for competitor keywords, and also the phrase “i love Alyce.” This gives me intel that I can use in my marketing campaigns - angles to play up, misconceptions to expose, etc. Also helps me understand the perception of our brand in the market.

 

and also i search “linkedin” because occasionally people talk about our linkedin presence which helps me validate what I’m doing is working :)

I love Gong!

 

One way I utilize the data is by searching by product name and what pain points are being brought up. I listen to our prospects’ language and utilize this when designing messaging for our email campaigns.   Sometimes the language can vary by industry or department so it’s a nice way to personalize and use the language they use.

I also sometimes gain insights into some of our competitors and what our prospects find lacking with their solutions.  This enables us to build out better battle cards and give the sales team some ammo when taking on a competitor.

@Laura Bailey Yessss using Gong for building battle cards is 🔥 Thank you so much for sharing your best practice!

I’m in Revenue Operations and when doing data analysis: I pull out any outliers or notable records to explore or listen to. It helps add context to the data and strengthens my presentation skills when sharing findings with the team.

Knowing that team members will ask “why did this happen?” it lets me be ready with the answer and adds more value to the insights from the data.
