Gong Helps Revenue Leaders Achieve Revenue Predictability with AI-Powered Forecasting

November 9, 2023

Gong Forecast now delivers up to 20 percent greater accuracy in determining deal outcomes than traditional forecasting models

More than 300 buying signals inform precise forecasting model

SAN FRANCISCO – November 9, 2023: Gong, the Revenue Intelligence leader, today announced new, enterprise-grade enhancements to Gong Forecast, its AI-powered forecasting and pipeline management solution. By bringing the understanding gained from more than 300 buying signals across more than three billion customer interactions captured on the Gong Revenue Intelligence Platform, teams can drive more accurate forecasts and deliver predictable revenue on a single, AI-powered platform.

The process of quarterly forecasting and reporting for business leaders has mostly stayed the same over decades. Decision-makers – including CEOs, CFOs, CROs, and VPs of Sales – are tasked with reporting a prediction on revenue to their stakeholders and the market that is within five percent of the actual outcome. However, in recent years, revenue teams have grappled with organizational changes and unpredictable buyer behavior, and it has become increasingly challenging for revenue leaders to empower teams with the insights needed to call accurate forecasts, effectively manage their pipeline, and hit their numbers. According to Gartner, 67% of sales operations leaders agree that creating accurate sales forecasts is harder today than three years ago. At the same time, 78% of RevOps and Sales leaders say they lack the correct data to forecast accurately.

“Predictions about the trajectory of the business and its impact are essential to a revenue leader’s role,” said Amit Bendov, CEO and co-founder, Gong. “But not all predictions are created equal. A core baseline understanding of the true risks and opportunities within the pipeline is critical to making accurate predictions that have a positive impact on the business. We built Gong Forecast to address those gaps in understanding so companies can rely on a complete picture of what’s happening within their pipeline to run their business with greater accuracy.”

AI-based forecasting built on Revenue Intelligence Platform

Bringing a deep understanding of what is truly discussed with customers over email, video or phone, Gong Forecast sets a new bar for delivering highly accurate, reliable forecasts, especially in turbulent times. By infusing Gong’s unique and comprehensive approach to AI, customers can more seamlessly run their forecasting workflows on a single automated platform. Leaning heavily on the understanding gained from billions of customer interactions, as well as insights specific to the customer, such as key personas involved in a deal, Forecast delivers greater accuracy, actionability on deals, and accountability to provide a clear and reliable picture of a revenue organization’s health, and help teams make decisions on where to invest the most effort in real-time.

“At WalkMe, forecast accuracy is a critical part of the job for our sales reps and their managers,” said Sunil Panda, VP Global Revenue and Sales Operations at WalkMe. “We use Gong to give our team the data and tools they need to truly understand what is driving their forecast and deal outcomes. With the more complete insights delivered by Gong Forecast, we are able to provide this data and raise the bar for our revenue organization.”

By aggregating precise deal predictions – based on an analysis of more than 300 buying signals – across the entire pipeline, Gong is able to forecast revenue outcomes with high degrees of accuracy. Whereas traditional forecasting solutions rely on CRM data entered manually to predict a number, Gong leverages positive and negative signals to drive insights that can help teams identify and address issues early to maximize revenue opportunities. For example, Gong automatically tracks discussions around pricing, legal review, and whether competitors are mentioned in the appropriate stage of a deal, and uses those in scoring deals and creating an overall forecast.

New Gong Labs Research Finds AI Is Now a Trusted Decision-Maker in Revenue Teams

Global report also shows that teams that use AI as a core driver of revenue strategy are 65% more likely to increase win rates. Data also reveals that AI-driven teams generate 77% more revenue per representative – a six digit increase over those who don't. SAN FRANCISCO — December 4, 2025 — Gong, the leading Revenue AI company, today released its second annual State of Revenue AI report, revealing that AI has earned its seat at the revenue table. According to the report, seven in ten enterprise revenue leaders now trust AI to regularly make business decisions. This signals the technology’s evolution from a competitive edge that helped individuals gain efficiency into an essential for every level of the revenue organization. The data shows that these AI-powered decisions are bearing fruit: organizations embedding AI as a core driver of their go-to-market (GTM) strategy are outperforming their peers, being 65% more likely to increase win rates. The research, drawn from an analysis of 7.1 million sales opportunities across 3,600+ companies and a survey of more than 3,000 global revenue leaders, offers fresh insights into how revenue teams are adapting to economic shifts, embracing AI, and redefining productivity and growth for the year ahead. “Our research reveals a fundamental shift in how AI shows up in forward-thinking revenue teams. It’s no longer a helpful sidekick, but now a strategic partner,” said Amit Bendov, CEO and co-founder, Gong. “Revenue teams that embrace AI aren’t just seeing better revenue outcomes, they’re reshaping entire GTM functions. The data shows us that the future of sales will not be shaped by humans or by AI, but rather by the power of both working together.” AI as a Job-Shaper, Not a Job-Taker The report also highlights a shifting narrative around AI and the workforce: that AI is viewed less as a threat and more as a catalyst for transformation. When asked about the three-year impact of AI, 43% of respondents said they expect it to transform jobs without reducing headcount, making it the most common outlook. Only 28% anticipate job eliminations, while 21% foresee new revenue roles being created. Just 8% predict minimal impact. As revenue professionals increasingly implement AI technologies in their day-to-day activities, they are seeing its transformative power on their roles. In fact, leaders are prioritizing productivity and output of existing teams, with productivity now ranked as the number one growth strategy for 2026, up from fourth place last year. Key areas of change include: Reduced administrative time, like data entry, note-taking, CRM updates emerging as the top-ranked impact More customer-facing capacity, enabling more calls, meetings, and outreach Greater strategic and creative focus, such as account planning and deal strategy Better data-driven decision-making, driving engagement among revenue leaders AI Becomes a Strategic Partner in Revenue Growth Seven in ten enterprise revenue leaders now trust AI to regularly make business decisions, underscoring AI’s shift from experimentation to expectation. In 2025, the number of US companies using AI to forecast and measure strategic success increased 50% year over year. Teams using revenue-specific AI solutions were twice as likely to leverage AI for forecasting and predictive modeling, driving outcomes beyond what general-purpose tools delivered, including: 13% higher revenue growth 85% greater commercial impact Sales Teams Using AI More Win More Organizations that have boldly embraced AI within their core business use cases capture more value from their investments than those further behind or more surface-level in their deployments. Teams that deeply leverage AI generate 77% more revenue per representative – a six-digit increase over those that do not use it. AI Adoption in the US vs. UK Companies in the UK lag those in the US by about 12-18 months when it comes to AI adoption. United States: AI adoption continues to accelerate, with 87% of US companies now using AI and an additional 9% planning to adopt it within the next year. United Kingdom: UK adoption in 2025 looks very similar to US findings from last year’s report, with 70% currently using AI, with another 22% planning to in the next 12 months.
