is this a culture they promote? can a company be that cringe?

Why is everyone from Gong turning into a sales coach after 13minutes industry experience?
35
They believe their culture and process is superior. It goes to everyone’s fat head in the org. Who wouldn’t take advice from a bongster.
How'd you find a video of me from my college dorm room?
I noticed this too.
Nothing more irritating than someone with under 8-10 yrs sales experience that is trying to tell others how to sell.
Notice most consultants, people pitching sales courses, or playbooks do not have a ton of time in these roles themselves. Just had few short stints job hopping, or have not been holding a bag for a number of years. It’s beyond annoying. You people know who you are!!!

Type Gong in the search bar and read the gems that have been posted. You won't be disappointed.
It might take up the rest of your day though...
Going down the rabbit hole for sure.
It's people like that who make us all look bad
Search Gong and see all the threads talking about just that. It spans 3 years of content.
It’s actually an internal growth strategy. Their social team creates content to push, and I think it’s required for them to post.

Dude I said this before I read the responses ☠🦐
I’m not talking that I’m taking about there sale staff having side hustle sales coaching business.
Yes. The marketing team builds that as a strategy that sales executes on. Side hustle is the vehicle.
So the answer is - they are that cringe.
Correct
It's their version of social selling.
Definitely gets them out there, for better or for worse.

13 minutes killed me 💀
Those who can't close, teach.

it gets free marketing like this unfortunately no such thing as bad publicity
I thought they were spoonfed the content.
After reading comments, I now know its true.

Because their product is a good product and they are a product led growth company so they think they know what’s what. It’s also a fact that we’re talking about them here right now so good press or bad something is working for them…
…it’s categorically not a good product. They are also not PLG.
I dunno. I actually really like Gong and have been annoyed when companies don't have it.
Plg would indicate there sales ppl coaching is bullshit as the product sell itself?
Kinda does…
Want to he clear here: Gong is not PLG. They are a top-heavy sales-lead org. To call them product led would imply they have built something easy to implement and simple to get started with. Neither are true.
yes, but when I think about Gong vs competitors their product is superior to chorus jiminy, outreach recordings and such. Thats more so where I go with their product being better
It is one of those companies that I completely ignore, weird.
Gong sucks. There’s more than 1 thread on it.
Maybe it’s a part of their sales training? For people to talk about GONG, like we all are doing right now. Mind blowing!!
We live in an era where everyone gets a voice, and too many exercise that while saying nothing substantive at volume. There’s a lot of noise and self-proclaimed experts out there. The blessing and curse of the internet and a generation that grew up with that megaphone.
Anyone from going on bravado? I’d love to hear from them. These long form look at me posts are like nails down a chalk board ffs.
They've been doing this for a while. Toxic culture on wannabes
Gotta drink the koolaid to work there.
Sarah brazier was an early gem for them. They want everyone to be her
