Call sharing software that powers revenue teams

What is call recording and sharing software? An essential guide for revenue teams

Call recording and sharing software captures, stores, and distributes audio or video conversations between sales teams and customers. It’s a foundational technology for modern revenue organizations, enabling teams to analyze real customer interactions, coach reps, and align cross-functional teams around what’s actually happening in the field—not just what’s entered in the CRM.

Call sharing

Why do businesses use call sharing software? Three reasons stand out:

  • Drive consistent execution: Teams can review real calls to understand what works, spot coaching opportunities, and standardize best practices across regions and roles.
  • Accelerate onboarding and ramp: New hires learn directly from top performers by listening to real conversations, reducing time to productivity.
  • Improve collaboration and transparency: Sharing calls breaks down silos between sales, customer success, product, and marketing—everyone operates from the same customer reality.
Common features/components of call sharing software include:
  • Automatic call capture and storage
  • Secure sharing and access controls
  • Searchable call libraries and tagging
  • Snippet creation and annotation tools
  • Integration with CRM and other revenue tech
Typical use cases span:
  • Sales coaching: Managers review calls, leave feedback, and build libraries of winning talk tracks.
  • Deal execution: Teams flag at-risk deals by reviewing calls for red flags or missed signals.
  • Onboarding and training: New reps ramp faster by listening to curated calls and learning from real scenarios.
  • Cross-functional alignment: Product, marketing, and CS teams hear the voice of the customer directly, informing messaging and roadmap decisions.

Why Gong takes a fundamentally different approach

While many call recording and sharing solutions offer basic capture and playback, Gong transforms every conversation into a strategic asset. Instead of just storing calls, Gong’s Revenue AI Operating System analyzes every interaction, surfaces insights, and orchestrates action across your entire revenue team. You don’t just get a library of calls—you get a living network of customer reality that drives execution, coaching, and growth.

Customer testimonial

Reachdesk: Achieving global alignment and efficiency with Gong

Challenge: As Reachdesk rapidly expanded across the US and EMEA, their sales, customer success, and product teams struggled to align around the customer lifecycle. Without a unified system, they couldn’t unearth which rep behaviors won deals, why customers bought, or how to keep teams connected during high growth. Inefficient sales practices and poor communication threatened to slow their momentum.

Solution: Reachdesk implemented Gong’s call recording and sharing solution to capture every customer interaction across global teams. Using Gong’s Call Libraries, they shared full calls and key snippets across EMEA and US teams, enabling everyone to learn from real conversations, provide feedback, and align on best practices. Deal Boards surfaced risks and warning signs in real time, while AI-powered insights revealed what top performers did differently. Managers and reps collaborated on deal execution, coaching, and forecasting—all grounded in customer reality.

Results:

  • Global teams aligned around the voice of the customer, breaking down silos between sales, CS, marketing, and product
  • Training efficiency soared as new hires ramped faster with access to curated call libraries and feedback from peers worldwide
  • Deal risks were spotted and addressed early, keeping deals on track and improving win rates
  • Forecasting became more accurate, saving at least two hours per week on pipeline activities
  • Messaging and product strategy were updated based on real customer feedback, driving better business decisions

"Being able to share snippets globally has been a huge benefit of using Gong. It has helped with my biggest pain point during this growth by getting alignment between the US and the UK teams.”
