Gong Unveils New AI Capabilities to Help Revenue Teams Drive Excellence in Execution

June 25, 2024

Industry-first AI concept capture technology enhanced to increase trust in data accuracy and bring standardization and rigor to critical sales processes

SAN FRANCISCO – June 25, 2024: Gong, the Revenue Intelligence leader, today announced a series of enhancements to its industry-first AI Smart Trackers concept capture technology that users can train to help revenue teams achieve better accuracy, efficiency, and automation in their sales execution. Customers can now leverage insights from AI Smart Trackers – both out-of-the-box and those they have trained – and bring operational rigor into revenue workflows with new AI Methodology Playbooks and AI Scorecard Suggestions.

In today’s hyper-competitive and constantly evolving market, revenue leaders struggle to get the right data to pinpoint gaps in their processes and understand what’s working and what’s not. According to a Gartner® Press Release, “Eighty-four percent of sales leaders agreed that sales analytics has had less influence on sales performance than what leadership expected.”[1] This gap exists largely because tracking sales processes, such as coaching and methodology adherence, is still based on sales reps manually inputting data into CRM systems.

To address the challenges of ensuring sales leaders have the right data to effectively evolve their organizations, Gong is announcing new AI capabilities to help teams autonomously capture this critical data and operationalize it within their revenue organizations.

New tools for AI Smart Trackers help business users build workflows, get trustworthy insights, and quickly understand what good AI-generated results look like, without having to depend on data scientists or write code.
Gong’s new AI Methodology Playbooks let leaders select their sales methodology, then rely on AI Smart Trackers to automatically and accurately detect whether elements of the methodology have been met in customer interactions.
Gong’s new AI Scorecard Suggestions automatically suggest answers to inform coaching scorecards, making it easier and faster for managers to coach reps consistently.

“At Canva, we’re big believers in the power of AI and its lasting impact on the workplace. Having invested in AI for years, we’ve seen first-hand how the technology is changing the way people work and collaborate more than ever before. Through our own AI tools we’ve seen how teams are able to produce content at scale, whilst working smarter, more efficiently and productively, regardless if they’re in HR, Sales or Marketing,” said Jorge Bestard, Head of Sales and Success, Canva EMEA. “With Gong, our internal sales teams have been able to improve our win rates by using AI to pinpoint any blockers in the renewals process, enabling faster deals and a more streamlined workflow.”

“AI is already delivering productivity and efficiency benefits to enterprises, but without the accuracy enabled by true contextual understanding of data, the benefits of AI can’t be realized across an organization’s most critical workflows,” said Eilon Reshef, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Gong. “By bringing deep understanding into and operationalizing insights within key sales processes, Gong gives revenue leaders the visibility, consistency, and scale they need to make key decisions that will drive revenue success.”

AI Smart Trackers enhanced for increased accuracy and trust

Gong’s AI Smart Trackers go beyond keyword recognition by understanding the context of conversations and recognizing the different ways sales teams and customers can communicate a concept.

AI Smart Trackers now enable up to 10 percent more precise tracking of positive and negative signals and concepts found within sales interactions.[1] After building the trackers, or using Gong’s preprogrammed out-of-the-box options that monitor the most common sales concepts, admins and revenue operations teams can test the models’ accuracy before deploying them to ensure they are delivering the intended results.

Automating revenue professionals’ path to success with AI Methodology Playbooks

Sales teams will now be able to take the valuable signals and concepts captured by AI Smart Trackers further into their workflows with AI Methodology Playbooks. Scale necessitates standardization, which is why 95 percent of successful revenue teams follow a methodology such as MEDDICCC to guide reps as they work to close deals.

These methodologies are essential for revenue team operations, but compliance is often lacking. With AI Methodology Playbooks, Gong can surface suggestions from customer interactions to automatically populate the framework with precision, bringing increased transparency to leaders. By ensuring that the team consistently executes the sales process, organizations can standardize their data-informed operations and, in turn, improve forecast accuracy and deal win rates.

Streamlining Coaching and Feedback with AI Scorecard Suggestions

Scorecards are powerful tools for providing coaching and feedback to sales reps, but scoring calls is time-consuming. As a result, most managers lack the capacity to invest the time to reinforce best practices. Gong’s new AI Scorecard Suggestions help companies increase revenue per rep by automatically suggesting answers to scorecard questions, streamlining the coaching process and helping managers more effectively reinforce best practices.

Unlocking the “Trust Barrier” for Enterprise AI: New Gong Research Reveals Transparency as the Key to Competitive Advantage

The "AI Trust Barrier" is real – and it’s costing companies their competitive edge Data and security concerns are the top factors eroding trust (34%), followed by a lack of explainability (30%) and AI model transparency (28%) The ability to articulate AI outputs and data guardrails has emerged as a non-negotiable requirement for solution providers Nearly half (46%) of planned AI investments are currently stalled due to trust concerns—providing a clear blueprint for how vendors must evolve to win SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON – April 15, 2026: Gong, the leading revenue AI company, today released new research revealing an AI trust barrier that stands between companies innovating with AI and those stuck in exploration and confusion. The study, which was supplemented by findings from Gong Labs, showed that 58% of companies (US: 63% | UK: 52%) had stalled AI projects. Here’s why: it’s not a lack of budget – it’s a deficit in trust. The research explored how concerns about data privacy, security, and transparency lead to a lag in adoption. Gong understands how to help revenue leaders get the assurance they need to drive AI adoption success. Gong Labs data, based on aggregated and de-identified signals derived from over 25 million sales interactions processed within Gong’s platform, found that one in four calls referenced security, with uncertainty over AI's foundational data and learning mechanisms the most commonly discussed topics. A study of over 2,000 US and UK leaders reveals that transparency in how AI generates outputs is essential for them to trust, invest in, and deploy AI tools. As it stands, 75% (US: 80% | UK: 70%) of leaders feel their organizations are falling behind when it comes to realizing AI’s most powerful benefits, giving solution providers an opportunity to allay concerns and drive their success. "Security and AI trust are no longer back-office conversations; they are revenue conversations,” said Chris Peake, Chief Trust Officer, Gong. “Gong’s research found that trust can be a performance multiplier when applied as part of an AI strategy. The competitive advantage delivered by AI is no longer up for debate, but the trust barrier remains for those using tools that have yet to establish this trust. By embedding enterprise-grade governance directly into the Revenue AI OS, we’re helping the world’s most successful teams bypass the doubt and move straight to acceleration.” Trust barriers preventing adoption of unproven AI tools identified The survey uncovered several barriers preventing companies from adopting AI solutions from providers that had failed to allay their concerns: With more than half of companies having delayed or cancelled their plans to adopt an AI tool, the data suggests that organizations are under-utilizing powerful AI capabilities and leading these companies to miss out on transformational gains. What’s more, this same lingering uncertainty had meant 46% (US: 44% | UK: 47%) of their planned AI investments had been paused, on average. Barriers can be overcome through enterprise-grade guardrails and transparency standards The top assurances leaders said would help them confidently adopt AI solutions were: With the right guardrails, trust can be an enabler of a successful AI strategy. Gong works with customers to address the trust gap by building enterprise-grade security and data governance within its Revenue AI Operating System, producing explainable and relevant insights using its context-aware AI, grounded in patterns observed across aggregated customer usage, and providing built-in governance and insight. Gong enables custom redaction capabilities, enabling organizations in highly regulated industries to safely leverage AI insights that previously couldn’t be monitored or analyzed due to data privacy risks. To learn more about the report’s findings and how Gong safeguards companies’ data, standardizes AI trust, and embeds assurances directly within the Revenue AI OS, read the blog.
