Fan of Gong?

Question

My old company took a run at using Gong. It seemed that after they finally drug us all into using it on a regular basis, Management stopped sharing the analytics, etc. So its use quickly dropped off.

Are you a fan of Gong? Do you see its value? I see it...somewhat. To me it seems like a Micromanager's wet dream, useful if training newer sales reps, but the worst nightmare for most tenured sales people.

Thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Decent product. Annoying brand.

Answer

No.

Answer

I think Gong is pretty useful to get info from calls after they’re done. Biggest annoyance is I get emails saying certain deals in pipeline are at risk even if they’re already closed so not sure where they’re getting their info

Answer

I voted yes by mistake. How can I undo? Fuck Gong

Answer

“ let’s look at your deals forecast on gong” I’d rather shoot myself

Answer

Super useful despite the cult culture on LI.

Answer

I use it all the time. But I’ve been an AE < 2 years so take that with a grain of salt

Answer

People on Bravado overreact. Yes, they are annoying on LinkedIn, but their product is solid. I really enjoyed using it.

Answer

Such strong feelings both positive and negative. The tool is awesome and their brand is a powerhouse, but sometimes it feels like the cool kids SaaS army and they act like a bunch of crappy braggarts.

Answer

Good for items you forgot to write down, horrible for enabling micromanagement.

Answer

The product is great when it comes to conversation snippets and call analyzers. The brand on Linkedin is some sort of weird cult you would like to stay away from xD

Answer

I quite like gong aside from their obnoxious approach to social selling. The top reps on our team all have similar and consistent gong stats which is interesting.

Answer

Brand could be less abrasive but product is fire

Answer

Nope

Answer

I cannot talk and take notes, so I like it for that purpose.
