Revenue Intelligence: Gong
Overview
Gong enables companies to capture, understand, and act on all customer interactions in a single, integrated platform. In other words, the platform record sales calls and provide data/insights into the conversations.
Why use Gong?
Sales is a combination of art and science: the art of closing deals and the science as to what goes into getting those deals closed. Gong lives on the science side of sales by providing teams with conversational metrics like talk-to-listen ratio, questions asked, and filler words used. Teams can use these metrics to elevate their art and ultimately close more deals.
Conversational intelligence platforms exploded in popularity when sales teams were forced to be distributed/remote; however, plenty of companies are still utilizing the platforms as they move back to in-office full time work.
Companies that utilize Gong report increased win-rates, decreased deal lengths, and increased recurring revenue.

Metrics: Sales professionals and sales leaders can dig into an individual’s and team metrics to determine what sort of behavior they would like to see while on calls with prospects/customers.
