They believe their culture and process is superior. It goes to everyoneโs fat head in the org. Who wouldnโt take advice from a bongster.

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. Itโs beyond annoying. You people know who you are!!!

Search Gong and see all the threads talking about just that. It spans 3 years of content.
Itโs actually an internal growth strategy. Their social team creates content to push, and I think itโs required for them to post.

Yes. The marketing team builds that as a strategy that sales executes on. Side hustle is the vehicle.

It's their version of social selling.
Definitely gets them out there, for better or for worse.

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 whatโs what. Itโs also a fact that weโre talking about them here right now so good press or bad something is working for themโฆ

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

Maybe itโs 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. Thereโs 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.
