Scheduling links/capabilities in Engage

We are migrating from Outreach to Engage! (very excited about it!) I’ve launched a couple reps already and we are trying to figure out scheduling links. In Outreach we created meeting types and then you could send the prospect a link to schedule that meeting type on the rep’s calendar. (basically a Calendly type function). Each rep had their own scheduling link through Outreach. How do we replicate this in Engage?

Change the names of call participants

How can I change the name of each caller? I uploaded some recordings, but each caller's name is inaccurate.

In Person meeting impact

Anyone have ideas on how we can use Gong to measure the impact of live (in person) meetings?  We feel pretty confident that when a in person meeting happens, the outcome is better… We’d like to A) show that in Gong - maybe as Win/Loss report and/or show it on our dealboards- i.e. flag those that don’t have activity type of In Person Meeting..  Hope this makes sense and would LOVE any ideas anyone has.

Exporting Questions Asked

One thing I’m coaching to right now is the TYPE of questions my reps are asking. I’m noticing that the reps that are underperforming centre their questions around (what i call) “Solutioning” the customers problems. The better reps are focus on business questions and questions about the evaluation process and criteria. I’ve manually exported all questions in a call to a spreadsheet so I could tag each question as Solutioning, Business, Pricing/Admin, Deal Process.Control, etc. But maybe there is any easier way to export every question?

Call Categories vs Libraries

Can anyone explain why one would use call categories vs call libraries? Now with the ‘stream’ capabilities, it feels like the exact same thing, but one shows in the form of ‘folders’ and the other in form of ‘reports’ -- both can be automated based on filters and both can send notifications when a new call meets the criteria… Thanks

Custom Questions in Call Spotlight

The AI in Call Spotlight is quite remarkable and accurate.  I find myself going in Spotlight on quite a few calls to ask a specific question and the results are insanely quick and helpful  Is there a way to customize Gong to automatically ask a specific question to bubble up this information without having to type the same query each time?  (The AI generated questions are not the right ones for me; but I’d settle for my question to be in that list that I could just click on)

Can you teach Gong to recognize words?

Gong does not recognize the name of our company, “Accelo”. It often cites in transcripts “excel” or “a cell o”. I’m curious if we can teach Gong AI to recognize a new word? Thanks,Siobhan

Creating a "team" that spans reporting structures

Hi, i’m wondering if there is a way to organize tracking, etc, for a group of users that doesn’t neatly fall under one reporting structure. For example, I want to be able to monitor all users that service our enterprise vertical, but currently those users report into 3 different teams (sales vs success, multiple managers). Is there a way to create a custom “team” in this sense?

Smart Trackers- Deep Dive

I am working to improve my smart trackers as I am finding the results to be a bit lower than expected (and, of course, much lower than the sales reps believe it should be). I have tried the keywords trackers but find them to be a bit more inaccurate and the smart trackers provide more intuition and context with AI to help hone in on the messaging. My question(s) are: do you find it to be more constructive to use more words/phrases or less words/phrases? And is there any way to exclude words/phrases so that certain context or combinations are not tracked?Any and all help with this is appreciated.

Forecast Training For Sellers

Hello - I am rolling out Forecast and the team has been great.   However, I can’t seem to find any type of “how to” for my sales team outside of a pdf that walks a rep/seller exactly what they need to do to make their weekly forecast.   I have watched recorded trainings, looked for videos on youtube and I see a lot that talks at a highlevel.  What I really need is really specific stuff that I can use to show my team or share with my team that shows them this is exactly how you do your forecast.   Go into the Forecast, click your your name, click on commit, but when they get to their list of deals….I am not sure how to explain what they need do so once they get to the point in the attached screenshot.   I am guess its very easy.   A video from a Gong seller doing their own forecast would be super simple and an effective tool.   As of right now I am stalled.   Does something like this exist?   I can’t find it if so.   Thanks as always team.   Joe

Gong Call Library

Hello -I have been using the Gong Call Library for years, but feel very limited by it’s functionaity. If possible could I suggest: Bulk adding of calls Less steps to add a call. Right now you have to go to the call page, select a folder, and click add. I would prefer if you could just click “add to library” from the listing of calls without having to click into the call page. The ability to drag and drop calls into the libraryThank you,Kelly

Feature Request - Initiatives - Add longer time frame filters (quarter)

Hello - I am starting to get my arms around initiatives.   One thing that would be helpful, and I don’t think too hard of an add, is giving longer time frames in the initiatives drop down.   Right now I can see my initiatives by week, month but I really want to start seeing them over the course of a quarter so I can spot trends.   Right now that is not possible.  Image attached to show what I mean.

Feature Request - Win/Loss

Hello - I really appreciate the win/loss data and all the ways you can analyze.   However, I have multiple lines of business and the win ratios are very different.   One LOB has longer sales cycles and are multi threaded and the other is much more transactional with single points of contact.   As such, if I analyze all deals, the combined win/loss ratio gets skewed really fast and the data isn’t as meaningful.   I would love to be able to have multiple win/loss “boards” just like I can have more than one deal board.   As it stands now I need to keep adding and removing filters for each product family and then take screenshots if I want to share the data with others in the company.   This would be a really useful add in my opinion.   Thanks for listening.   Joe

Need help with Sandler Sales Trackers

Hi all! My colleagues and I have implemented some Sandler Sales trackers in Gong but they’re super broad and aren’t pulling in calls with the precision we’d like. Does anyone have some awesome Sandler trackers they’d be willing to share? Here are some examples of our trackers that are way too general!
