Recording and reviewing customer calls has improved follow-up and team training
There are many features in Gong that I personally don't use, such as managing pipeline and anything related to that because it's just not something I use so much in my job, which is more on the customer success side. The features I use the most are recording, sharing with customers parts of recordings, and being able to search within calls, allowing me to easily find specific parts of a call that I need to share internally or externally, and the summaries have been helpful. The training and coaching aspect has been improved since we started using Gong, as people are able to go back, refer to calls, analyze them, and get feedback, while managers and leaders can look into it and give comments directly onto the call in specific areas, making training and giving feedback on customer calls much easier.
Jonny Katz - PeerSpot reviewer
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.
