I am an Enterprise Customer Success Manager who uses the tool in my everyday process. The tool solves for many problems, one in which is a source to review, document notes and review activity timelines easily. In today's business, time is a luxury. To have this system be the single source for follow-up, timing and coaching is amazing.

There are many other features like the revenue tracker (which is important), but not used in my day to day use of the tool.
  • Ease of software
  • Helpful resources based on my role
  • AI notes
  • Easy way to categorize and find call topics/history
  • Deal progression / revenue component is light
  • Sometimes errors with Gong following calls
  • Lack of automation when it comes to using recordings routinely
They are leaders in the call recording space. The organization has done a great job harnessing that power and creating compelling use cases for all revenue driven roles. Only downside is when you are the leader in the space, flexibility with commercials and ways to push the product are limited.

I use Gong practically everyday in my role as a CSM. And in our current environment, I am conducting a high volume of calls with customers. Gong allows me to refresh, recap, stay on top of, etc. etc. I would be lost without all the capabilities of Gong. I especially love the recaps and summaries, making me able to respond to customers in a timely fashion.
  • Recaps and summaries
  • Ability to clip pieces of call
  • highlights speakers and times each person is speaking
  • Sometimes it is difficult to find a particular call I have had; need to comb through
  • would like to quickly identify the email of a person I spoke with
Gong is incredibly useful for our team. We conduct many calls, and without Gong, it would be incredibly overwhelming to conduct follow up and to make sure I dont forget anything promised (ie resources and helpful links) and that I can follow up in a timely matter without having to dig through my own notes. It also allows us to concentrate on the needs of the customer and not worry about getting all our notes down for later. I can be present and truly work on the concerns of the customer. I have the peace of mind that Gong has my back!

We use Gong as a notetaker and video recorder with Microsoft Teams for all our customer facing sales meetings. It allows use to share the recording with the customer and to search the transcript internally when looking for key discussion points to review.
  • Meeting transcript notetaking
  • Recording Playback
  • Playback speeds
  • "Jump to" scrolling where customers are speaking
  • Being able to know what part of the recording the customer watched and not just when they started watching it.
  • Auto translate the transcript in other languages
  • Automatically link meting recordings where the same customer was a participant
No longer have to write notes since the automated notetaker does it for you.

Professional upskilling

  • When I started, I used Gong to upskill myself by watching other top AEs deals back from start to finish and getting up to speed.
  • Post meeting administration. It allows me not to need to take notes anymore.
  • Coaching - receive coaching and run strategy sessions with the team.
  • Continue to improve the AI
  • Have more MEDDPICC automation
It's well suited for any SaaS based selling company that is selling software.

It can be less well suited to areas when the sale is much more transactional and less complex.

That said I don't see a specific scenario where something like this isn't going to be beneficial for the team.

We utilize Gong to transcribe notes and action items for internal and external calls. We also use it to aid in recording and keeping a referencable library for new hires to review during onboarding. This tool allows our customer-facing representatives to provide follow-up quickly and action items following calls. Our entire team has access to Gong which allows for cross-functional collaboration.
  • Call recording
  • Action item accumulation
  • Call summarization
  • Safari functioning - works best on Chrome only
  • Call coaching - recommendations based on roles
This is best used on external calls where customers are present and focus should be used on the conversation vs. note taking. Recordings are easily shared across organizations. Gong can be used for internal calls but is less valuable as note taking and focus can used more readily during those call forums.

We use Gong to record sales calls, log them to the CRM, and love their AI tool where you can ask anything about a call and it gives great intel. This has been integral in creating a cohesive customer journey across the buying process, and has helped us to identify areas that needed improvement.
  • Call Recording
  • CRM Integration
  • AI tool for sales analysis/intel
  • The admin portal
  • Seat assignment
  • Enablement sessions for users
Gong is an excellent option for getting the most out of your sales calls. They've helped us to move beyond just "good calls" and into an era of sales intelligence across the customer journey. Gong has helped us enable new reps and put together the disjointed pieces within customer accounts to help us understand the whole story.

We use Gong as a note-taking assistant and also use it to share call recordings and easily read through transcripts and identify take-aways / next steps from any specific meeting. The business problem it addresses is any sales discussions with external prospects and customers are recorded and transcribed so its easier for us to identify and improve our pitching areas and next steps.
  • Higher transcript accuracy
  • Easily integrates with our CRM Salesforce to give single pane view
  • Better sales productivity
  • More use of AI/Gen AI is possible
  • The "Points of interest" feature could be more accurate than what it is now
  • More means to share recordings internally than create multiple collaborator licenses
Gong is well suited for mid-market and enterprise customers with a good enough customer-facing team that gets into lots of customer or prospect calls at varied time zones and it may be getting difficult to track the take-aways and next steps from every meeting. It may be less appropriate for small businesses/start-ups given the pricing.

Use it to record external calls with vendors and partners.

It allows us to document and record the key takeways from the call.

From a sales/account management perspective, it also enables to coach reps and improve their performance on calls by providing insights into what they're doing well, what they could improve, how to perform better discovery, etc.
  • Records calls
  • Provides call summary
  • Provides key takeways from the call
  • The AI could improve in regards to accuracy of the note taking for action items and key takeaways
Great for customer/partner call recording and note taking. Great for monitoring rep performance on calls and providing coaching so they can improve.

It’s used to record and analyse outbound business calls to find coaching points, summarise conversations and identify patterns within the business that can be used to form improvement points. It can also be used for AI generated follow-ups and to track conversations. We’re an outbound heavy sales organisation so it’s really helpful.
  • Near Instant AI Generated Followups
  • Great UI very clear
  • Coaching points on calls
  • Quicker analysis speed
  • Quicker upload speed
  • A more intuitive dashboard of recent performance trends
Gong is a great product for any company with an outbound sales organisation. It helps analysing calls with an AI bot which saves a lot of time and identifies trends easily, and gives pointers on where salespeople can up skill so great for training. Cant think of areas where it wouldn’t be appropriate unless a company didn’t have a sales team.

Gong is a really useful sales and revenue enablement tool that captures and helps all of our teams to analyze customer opinion, experience and conversation. We use Gong to provide us with transcripts of all pitches, presentations, client conversations, demos etc. so it records all external facing meetings automatically, and then we can review all of the data and easily search to understand what clients and prospects are saying about us, and how they feel. Very useful for sales and marketing teams, particularly for our Customer Marketing team, to truly understand customer voice.
  • Records seamlessly
  • Captures prospect opinion
  • Helps train sales teams
  • Provides data on customer conversation
  • Sometimes not all data/predictions are fully accurate
  • Doesn't always capture conversation perfectly
  • A lot of data that we need to review
In my experience, Gong is particularly well suited to work groups who need to better understand customer conversation and get in depth, actionable insights into the conversations that are already taking place. It helps companies be data informed about conversations that are already ongoing, so seems like a must-have and fail-safe idea for anyone talking to clients or prospects to keep a full record of their performance. The AI tool helps to pull out key insights and predict / forecast based on customer interactions.

We are using Gong to record calls across both Customer Success and Sales teams. We then use it to generate follow-up emails. We also share the calls between us internally to inform other teams about the content of the call. We also have Gong integrated with our CRM system which makes updating the pipeline of deals easier and quicker. Recently we have started using Gong Engage to effectively manage our renewals and spot where we need to engage more with customers.
  • Their AI is excellent.
  • The UI is great.
  • Good integration with CRMs.
  • Accommodate other currencies (not just $).
  • Further functionality on sales reporting would be useful - such as being able to set individual KPIs.
Any organization with a sales team.

It helps me focus on the customer, allowing me to really listen instead of making notes. This helps me qualify better and be an effective sales leader.
  • AI summarization.
  • Recording meetings.
  • Sales analysis.
  • Follow up emails.
  • Record external calls (not scheduled with me).
Suits an enterprise working environment where complex discussions are held. To keep up with the complexity, Gong can help to capture the essential elements easily. It even helps to structure the selected content for a follow-up email.

We use Gong.io in our sales team, and it's a great tool for reviewing meetings (to go back to details that weren't written down), reviewing our own practices (for training and improving the way we work), and sharing with other departments who will need to check the meeting to keep going with the deal. Before Gong, we relied on the notes we took during the meeting or the interpretation of ourselves as salespersons of what happened during the meeting. Our manager had to join our meetings for training in real-time, now they can just rate us and go into specific situations. Other departments got second-hand information from our meetings; now they check the meetings as if they had been there.
  • Transcripts
  • Percentage of participation of each speaker
  • Links to the meetings are easy to share
  • It would be great to see everyone in the meeting recording. Only the speaker can be seen today, and it would be great to see a corporal reaction from customers when the salesperson is speaking, for example.
  • I think it's working better now, but it took some time for the notetaker to join the meeting if it was invited in the last minute.
For sales meetings with clients, it's perfect. It's a great training tool for managers and for the salesperson itself. We can even learn from the meetings of other colleagues. I got used to it, and I wouldn't like to have a meeting without Gong, as I'm sure I can go back to any relevant details in case I've missed something during the meeting.

The best part of Gong is recording you sales calls and providing a transcript. It also has features for tracking pipeline & forecasting. The AI tools are neat in theory, but I haven't found them to be the most accurate. The recap summaries and follow up emails are lacking. But, in general, the call analysis with regard to transcript is pretty good.
  • Call recording
  • Transcript recording
  • Pipeline management
  • Forecasting
  • AI summarization and next steps
  • User interface
Gong is great for Account Executives or Account Managers who have frequent video sales calls with clients. It records the meeting without being intrusive and its easy to access the recording.

I don't think Gong is very strong for forecasting. The user interface is confusing and doesn't automatically sum up quantities from different stages.

Gong is heavily used at our organization. As a growth and development focused sales team, we have multiple use cases on a weekly basis.

For starters, we record all sales calls that include a contact outside of our company. This provides great insight not only into the volume of calls each rep is having, but also an easy traceable and findable timeline of when calls occurred.
  • Recording the actual calls
  • dictating the live video into a readable transcript
  • tracking percentage of who is speaking and on what topics
  • sometimes the call will say the wrong contact is speaking. Adding to 'Jims' talk time when it was actually 'John' speaking
  • The transcript can be missing some info or mis-dictating what was actually said
  • it can be hard to lookup certain calls, sometimes a call won't be under my name even though I booked and ran the meeting
Gong is incredibly helpful to recap on what was said. So many times I will go back to re-listen to a call and I will uncover new facts or details that I will directly use in my follow up. this is huge for finding those pain points in discovery. Really can only think of Gong not being appropriate for private internal calls or when a client specifically asked not to be recorded.

Gong is used across both sales and customer success to help log calls and transcribe conversations. Our product team uses it to pick up on consistently asked for feature requests and listen back to additional information provided, helping us to make decisions in what to build based on need.
  • Time Saver
  • Streamlined Organization
  • Brand Culture
  • I love everything!!!
I used to take all my notes on calls by hand, but with Gong I can now actively listen and participate, versus getting distracted. It's allowed me to have better conversations that I can refer back to later!

We use Gong in different ways: manage pipeline, review demo/ discovery calls, and forecast deals. Gong gives us more visibility of what's going on with each deal so we can give feedback to our AEs when we think a deal might fall through. We also use previously recorded discovery calls to train new reps.
  • Deal management
  • Demo reviews
  • Demo feedback
  • Searchability of leads
  • Better ways to track activities
  • Qualitative reporting on AE activity
Its well suited for training new bdr/sdrs or AEs using previously recorded demos. It is also good for giving feedback on how the sales team can improve.

Gong is great to record your calls and review them later. We use Gong to record all our sales calls, with prospects and customers. With the tool, we can review calls and find key items that were missed, or recap calls without having to rely on memory. The transcript functionality helps you find key words/scenarios
  • Records meetings using an automatic link
  • Transcribes videos
  • Allows for different playback options
  • When you log into your Gong account, it automatically takes you to a page that I find is not necessary. I then have to find the correct page to search for calls
  • It auto-populates what I am typing but is usually incorrect
  • May take a while for the recording to be available
Gong is great for:
- Reviewing different calls, whether it is a discovery call, demo, follow-up, technical conversation or syncs with key stakeholders
- To easily map out the different sections in the call like: Pricing, competitor, next steps, etc
- Share recordings with customers or prospects. You can put a time limit for how long the recording will be available

Gong is used not only to re-listen and record calls, but to analyze how we are portraying our product and verbally communicated sales messaging correctly. Furthermore, we use the speech analyzation to see where we can improve in conveying our messaging or even see what we can cut out. We found we used a lot of filler words and found ways to move that out of our messaging on demos.
  • Speech analyzation
  • Call recordings
  • Snippets
  • More training videos
  • suggestions on how people use it for success
Phenomenal product, would recommend it to anyone. Its been especially helpful in training new reps or training reps on how to present a new feature or new product. We've really been able to utilize it to show how to sell to differing titles in a business as our messaging differs from selling to engineering/sales/product/cio/etcs.

We use Gong and it's full enterprise features to review deals. Project closing ratio's, and to coach each other on a peer level. This has proven amazing for growth and improvements.
My favorite piece is the AI summary. I basically copy this into an email and then clean it as a recap for the customer. Helps with timelines, a joint execution plan, and accountability.
  • Summary of calls
  • Quick insights of who is involved
  • Human tendencies such as patience and speaking
  • Sharing of calls or snippets with customers
  • Speed to access the call
  • Searching for specific calls
Any call with a customer or prospect it is welcomed and I miss it when not on the call. Internal calls sometimes get recorded and also waiting for a prospect to join can have strange mechanics for pausing, continuing, or remembering what to record. All in all it's a great addition and I like it riding shotgun with me.
