Gong on Gong: Unlocking a New Strategic Dataset for Revenue Growth

In the dynamic landscape of B2B sales, the success of strategic initiatives, such as revamped messaging or novel GTM motions, can either propel key business metrics or falter. Surprisingly, McKinsey reports a 70% failure rate for such transformations. Waiting through entire sales cycles before witnessing outcomes hampers real-time adaptation. The consequence: valuable time, revenue, and productivity lost.

In this session, we’ll explore a range of compelling use cases where Gong used its own product to improve sales effectiveness – including increased conversation rates through revamped messaging and more nuanced marketing intelligence. We’ll unveil how Gong was able to measure what is typically unmeasurable with access to a strategic new dataset.

And, you’ll hear first-hand from customers who have adopted Gong Forecast to instill confidence at every level, from their sellers to their C-Suite.

Consolidate and Automate: A Playbook for Increased Team Productivity

The implementation of new technology aims to enable and empower teams, but tool proliferation has had the opposite effect on productivity.
