Best Sales Forecasting Software: Total Visibility, Next-Level Forecasting

Get total visibility into your pipeline and use AI to forecast with superhuman accuracy with sales forecasting software from Gong. Gong captures every buyer interaction and delivers an always-up-to-date view of your deals so you can forecast based on facts, not opinions.

6 Reasons Gong Is THE Best Sales Forecasting Software

Many of our customers recommend Gong’s software for sales forecasting. Here’s five very good reasons why:

REASON #1

Forecast With Superhuman Accuracy

Too often, sales forecasting relies on opinions and speculative predictions—what the team thinks will happen. Then there’s the subjectivity of reps within each deal (we’ve all worked with an overly aggressive rep who tends to make overly aggressive forecasts). 

As to who is right and making the most accurate predictions, it will likely vary from deal to deal. Which is what makes sales forecasting software so important. Gong’s sales forecasting software collects data from each point of contact with customers and analyzes exactly where you stand on every deal. 

Rather than relying on opinions and best guesses, our AI delivers the insights you need to make informed business decisions about your sales forecast.

REASON #2

Total Visibility Into Your Pipeline

Sometimes, you need the view from 30,000 feet—an accurate snapshot of your entire pipeline. Other times, you need to drill down to specific customer interactions to get the intel you need. Either way, Gong keeps these insights in one place so your team knows exactly where each deal in your pipeline stands. This includes info on next steps, decision maker engagement, and forecast deals that you know are real—total visibility.

Reason #3

Identify Pipeline Risk

Too many sales teams miss the warning signs lurking in their pipeline. But you know risk when you see it. Nobody has discussed the budget yet. The deal is stuck in stage. The rep has yet to find any engagement with a decision-maker. Using powerful AI, gong can automatically diagnose problems in your pipeline, so you can see and respond to crucial risks in your deals as early as possible.

Reason #4

Forecast With Confidence

Gong puts all the real-time information you need on a specific forecast category, deal, product, or team in one handy screen. Not only is this the most complete and accurate view of where things stand, but it makes using our sales forecasting software incredibly easy to use.

Reason #5

Accelerate Pipeline Reviews

There’s incredible power in knowing what’s in your pipeline without having to be in every deal. Step into each pipeline review with a full bill of health on each deal so you can focus on deal strategy and finding the right path to closed-won. Gong gives you a single pane of glass for seeing the health of every aspect of your pipeline.

Reason #6

Flexible Deal Boards

Deal boards give you both a bird’s-eye view of the pipeline, as well as any of the vital details you want to focus on. Plus, you can customize each board to align with your particular sales process (a board for rollups, for example, or certain fields and warnings. It’s a great way to spend a few minutes each day making sure nothing is slipping through the cracks.

Our Customers Said It Best

Gong is clearly pivotal to coaching. But beyond that, it is great for reviewing deals to understand how much of a rep’s pipeline is at risk, ensuring you can more accurately forecast your quarter.

I use the deals board to quickly run through forecast meetings and call reps out on their CRM hygiene. I can quickly identify obvious blind spots that would usually take a more in-depth look to find.

Make sure that you train your team and embed this software into your sales process. This tool also helps improve forecast accuracy.

I can quickly spot if a deal has gone dark, yet the rep is still forecasting. Very easy to call out that the opp should not be included in the forecast.

“Best in class.”

FAQ

Before You Ask, Here’s Our Sales Forecasting FAQ

What is sales forecasting software?

Sales managers use forecasting tools to improve the accuracy of their forecast. Because forecasting software shows up-to-date information on each opportunity and uses predictive models to understand your pipeline, it enables sales managers to roll up their pipeline and forecast based on data from their opportunities.

How does sales forecast software work?

It takes data from your CRM, as well as from customer interactions on calls, emails, and web conferencing, to give a complete view of sales activities against a given sales opportunity. Where it goes beyond your average forecasting template is that it then uses AI to identify deal risks, as well as the probability of closing, to allow managers to forecast based on actual in-pipeline activity. Plus, Gong puts all of these insights into a single dashboard.

For a real-world example, here’s a snapshot of how UberFlip uses Gong to boost forecast accuracy. At the end of each week, their sales leaders finalize a forecast that they can have waiting for the leadership team come Monday morning. Since they use Gong for deal management—including predictions tracked week over week—their forecasting goes pretty smoothly, since they already have a solid idea of the status of the deals that make up their forecast.

The result?

  • A roll up for each rep’s quarterly best case and commit
  • Line up rolled up against targets
  • Good idea of coverage within the remaining pipeline

The team does this for months and quarters. Today, they feel they make more accurate forecast calls, as reflected by their increased win rates and ACV.

How to choose the best forecasting software?

We find that the best forecasting tools do a combination of three important things:

  • Data collection: pulling from sources like CRM, sales calls, and sales emails to include all available information on deals.
  • Data visualization: showing pipeline health and highlighting at-risk deals, ideally in an intuitive and shareable dashboard.
  • Data modeling: using predictive models to assess closed-won probability for each opportunity based on activity and historical data.

To choose the best sales forecast tool for your organization, be clear about what you need. For example, do you need up-to-date activity data on active opportunities? Then data collection tools will be the best for you. Of course, you’ll still need to use excel or a similar tool to manipulate the data, which many teams now consider to be too time consuming. 

If you need to filter opportunities by stage and visualize your pipeline, then data visualization tools are your best bet. These tools will plug into sources and generate a view to help you create your forecast.

Finally, if you need to generate a forecast amount, you probably need a data modeling platform. These platforms will crunch the data and create an estimated forecast amount based on historical data and data on active opportunities.

What CRM fields can Gong filter by?

Gong ties activity data from each team member’s calendar, email, and calls with the corresponding opportunities in your CRM. This capability allows you to pull from any field that is attached to an opportunity. You can then use these fields as filters or columns when creating your forecast board, giving you customized views so you can quickly check up on what’s important with the click of a button.

What warnings can Gong give me about my pipeline?

Gong’s AI alerts you on deals that show the following negative signals:

  1. No activity
  2. Ghosted
  3. Overdue
  4. Not enough contacts
  5. No power
  6. Pricing not mentioned
  7. Stalled in stage

Some Gong users rely on the deal board to automatically inspect their forecast for these signals each and every day. Many sales leaders find that Gong’s proactive alerts help them respond to these negative signals and, in many cases, salvage deals that might have otherwise been lost.
