Gong was founded in 2015 by CEO Amit Bendov, and CPO Eilon Reshef, and has 350 employees at its offices in Israel and the US.
Gong has developed a system that helps sales staff and organizations identify behavior patterns and trends from data and issue insights that can raise sales, reduce customer churn, and increase market share by making decisions based on the company’s interactions with customers – through organizational systems and various communications channels.
Bendov told “Globes,” “We are doing for customer communications software what Mobileye is doing for cars.”
He said, “We made a bold prediction in 2016 that Gong’s technology would become the most significant innovation for sales since the invention of CRM. The market has proven that prediction was correct. With global sales teams switching to remote work and field sales teams grounded for the foreseeable future, we are seeing substantial demand for Gong’s solution even in a challenging business environment. There is a new way to win in sales and the best sales teams are turning to Gong’s Revenue Intelligence Platform to guide them down that path.”
