Anyone using SmartTracker to learn about their customers' onboarding experience?

I focus on the Customer Experience post-sale at my organization and am a new user of Gong. I’d love to leverage Smart Trackers to learn more about what’s going well for our customers or what they’re struggling with. I tried building one but in the training of the tracker I’m getting a lot of conversations that simply aren’t aligned. I’m wondering if anyone has tips on what settings I should try applying or statements you’d recommend using as part of the training for the tracker. Thanks in advance!Alex

Using AI in our Pipeline Board

I use our Pipeline Boards for viewing status of deals multiple times a week - sometimes multiple times a day. One thing I have been thrilled to see is that when we open our Next Steps field, the AI-Suggested deal updates seem to be getting better and better as far as accuracy. I have included a HEAVILY redacted example for you to see. We just click the pencil in the field, and then the AI-Suggested deal updates suggestions appear below. The only thing we need now is a new field that can accomodate a larger character limit. We have been bound to 250 characters and with such rich updates coming from the AI suggestions, it’s a shame that we can’t just use them as-is. Quite a bit of doctoring work has to go into making the suggestion useable. I’d ove to hear if you are having luck with using AI suggestions. TIA

Watch the recording: An ask-me-anything with Gong CFO Tim Riitters

Did you catch our ask-me-anything earlier this week? I had the pleasure of interviewing Gong’s CFO Tim Riitters and asked him YOUR questions about demonstrating ROI, navigating sales pitches to CFOs, and exploring the best practices in the realm of financial leadership. Here’s a glimpse into just three of the invaluable takeaways that emerged from our discussion: There are four main reasons why people buy technology or services : increasing revenue, decreasing cost, risk management/compliance, or improving customer experience. If you’re in a position where you sell to a CFO, it’s important to understand which of these problems your product or service solves for. CFOs trust internal champions more than vendors. As a vendor, you should identify the internal champion at your prospective company and empower them with predefined ROI templates and case studies for the CFO. Every proposal includes ROI, but few proposals focus specifically on the “R” . When selling to a CFO, help them understa

12 Days of Gong: How Kovrr's Director of Product Management Amir Kessler used Gong to collect product feedback

🎶 On the fourth day of 12 Days of Gong, Amir Kessler gave to us… …best practices for Gong for Product! 🎶 Introduce yourself - what is your name, role, and organization? Amir Kessler, Director of Product Management at Kovrr. What is the challenge you were facing at your organization? We want to better understand the product features requirements and requests of our clients. Given that this data can come up in any call, Gong was the perfect place to use as a point of where all the data flows and to tag the data using Going tools. What workflow in Gong did you use to solve this challenge? We started by using trackers, but that wasn't good enough for us, as many times the requests and requirements we got were communicated to us using words we didn't think of, and therefore the tracker didn't catch them. Instead, we decided to use the native Gong app in the Zoom application. Whenever someone on a call encounters and hears data that could be classified as a request or requirement, we write

Mike Gallardo, Senior Sales Director, Deel. What is the challenge you were facing at your organization? Deel is arguably the fastest growing startup of all time. My key priorities as a leader are always hiring world class Account Executives and reducing their time to productivity as much as possible. The challenge was how to execute on these initiatives (effectively and at scale) with a complex and technical product, across large cohorts of new sellers. What workflow in Gong did you use to solve this challenge? The first workflow I use in Gong to solve these challenges is reviewing AE interviews. It’s the best way, especially as an all remote company to: (1) Drive alignment and make sure you're hiring the best talent (2) Provide feedback to interviewers so they can improve (3) Document what gr
