Sales Intelligence Software: Unlock Your Team’s Potential
To build a powerhouse sales team, you need more than yesterday’s tools. See why thousands of customers, from world-wide enterprises to mid-market companies, all use Gong sales intelligence software to close more deals.
5 Reasons Why You Need Sales Intelligence Software
Straight from the mouth of our raving fans, hear why you should switch to Gong’s sales intelligence software:
REASON #1
Keep Close Tabs on At-Risk Pipeline
You already know the warning signs: no next steps identified. The rep hasn’t involved a decision maker, nor discussed the budget. Maybe the deal has been stuck in a particular stage for two weeks. Gong’s sales intelligence tools give you a holistic view of deals in the pipeline to pick up on indicators, then zoom in to intervene before it’s too late. Many of our customers use the deal board to keep the pulse on deal momentum, which helps with more accurate forecasting.
REASON #2
See What Strategies Actually Work
Top sales performers have a recipe for success. Why not learn that recipe so you can share it with the rest of your teams? Use Gong to analyze calls, pipeline, and trends to see what makes your top performers so successful. Plus, you can track and quantify progress across certain call metrics to diagnose any pipeline shortfalls. With Gong, your entire team will understand the strategies, plays, and talk tracks they need to thrive.
Reason #3
Ensure Your Team Are Using New Messaging
Wouldn’t it be nice to know how your various buyer personas are reacting to strategic initiatives like new messaging, product, and sales methodologies—in real time? With Gong, you’ll have next-level insight into how new messaging, sales collateral, and go-to-market strategies are being used. You’ll also see which conversations are leading to closed-won revenue, as well as which specific talking points your reps are struggling with.
Reason #4
Forecast with Superhuman Accuracy
Punching in the dark is no way to conduct sales forecasting. Instead, use a central deal board to see the entire forecast, including how well your teams are working deals and activity levels for each. Not only will you have a much more accurate forecast, but you’ll quickly spot red flags on calls, or deals that have gone dark (despite the reps still forecasting them. Some call it a data-driven approach to gauging the progress of deals. We call it the spoils of running one of the best sales intelligence tools around.
Reason #5
Make Coaching Recommendations with the Help of AI
Any sales leader would love to give personalized recommendations to each rep. For larger teams, with many reps and hundreds of calls and emails flying back and forth everyday, you need the help of sales intelligence tools. Use Gong to share best practices among all reps at once, while expediting onboarding through the use of real-life selling examples (snippets from call recordings, for example). You can build custom flags—a deal isn’t multi-threaded, for example, or doesn’t have the next meeting set up—so you can quickly leave comments on calls for points of improvement.
Why Use Gong for Sales Intelligence Software?
Thousands of companies large and small consider Gong one of the best sales intelligence tools on the market. Why? Because Gong’s sales intelligence software analyzes every interaction between reps and prospects/customers.
We’re talkin’ calls, emails, and web conferencing.
And that’s just the beginning. Gong AI can sift through all of this data, understands what’s being said, and unearth crazy-good insights. It makes for a far more reliable view of deal progress, pipeline, and forecasting. For many of our customers Gong has become the one-stop-shop for sales enablement, coaching, revenue intelligence, and ops.

We love the workflows for automatically adding the AI recording tool to your calendar meetings, integrations with Salesforce, and the calendar/email providers ensure you have all the helpful information on each deal at your fingertips.
The AI and the toolset that Gong offers is where I think the real differentiator is. The ability to tag, number, and send snippets are features I use just about everyday and the ops, marketing, product teams can all listen in on calls.
Gong’s AI is the best I have ever seen. I love that I can look up an individual word on a call and skip right to that point. Plus, I also love the stats they give you as far as filler words and phrases I use and how many times I’ve used them.
