Account Executive (Medium Business) at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Call reviews have boosted follow-ups and coaching but still need richer local insights and training
One of the things that I mentioned is the information that Gong has here in Brazil. I think there are other generative AIs that have good information, providing good information about the companies. Gong in this field is a bit not ahead. It has to improve more. One point that I would like to see in Gong in the future would be to have more information about Brazilian companies that could help our life in sales. Gong should be more updated and be more full of information about our specific market. The points that I already mentioned, which are the updates and the information updates that are not really updated, are why it wouldn't be a 10. Another point of not being a 10 is the training that we have from Gong. I've never seen a person from Gong talking with us, giving us training or providing videos or training specific for sales in Gong. It depends on us to navigate in Gong, but we don't have much information and training that I think would be nice for us to have.

Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.
