Leveraging Salesforce and Gong for Enhanced ROI

Boosting Revenue: The Salesforce and Gong Integration Advantage

Salesforce CRM is always businesses’ first choice for efficiently capturing and managing sales data. As data always support business sales decisions about what is good and what is not, by constantly refining the sales process using data-driven approaches, your team will be able to move more leads through their pipelines smoothly, which will enhance the conversion rates and revenue.   

We investigated another powerful technology, Gong, to gain a better understanding of customers’ conversations as well as CRM data to improve deal conversion.

What is GONG:

GONG records, transcribes, and analyzes all the conversations that you are having with your frontline customers and provides actionable insight by using artificial intelligence (AI). GONG uses advanced analytics to capture the talk patterns, questions asked, objections, filler words, sentiment analysis, customer monologues, and many more, like:

• Creates a library of best deals to coach and onboard team in lesser time.
• Get insights into all conversations to generate data-driven coaching recommendations.
• Determine the most effective conversational strategies the team should adopt to boost quota attainment.
• With Gong, managers can see team trends, spot patterns in individual reps, and quickly identify critical areas for coaching across their team.
• Boost rep productivity, increase win rates, and provide the full glance of your opportunity pipeline
• GONG will provide you with the truth of the sales pipeline, which deal will close, and which require urgent attention.
• GONG stores all your team’s best practices and lets you organize them so that reps can access real-life examples to drive their performance.

We rely mostly on our sales representatives to ensure that the data they entered into the system is accurate, but occasionally, as humans, we may have forgotten to mention something crucial during a meeting. As a result, we frequently lose deals. To overcome these minor errors, we introduced GONG into our system.
