Gong Introduces Industry's First AI "Ask Anything" Solution for Individual Contacts to Help Revenue Teams Gain More Complete Insights and Boost Efficiency

Ask Anything enables sales reps and leaders to ask any question across contacts, deals, and accounts to surface critical insights and close more deals

Companies that use Ask Anything have increased win rates by 26 percent 

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gong, the Revenue Intelligence leader, today announced it is helping revenue teams close up to 26 percent more deals and boost efficiency with the industry's only comprehensive AI-based query solution across calls and emails. In addition to individual call, deal, and opportunity histories, Gong's Ask Anything capability will now query information across specific contacts, delivering deeper insights more quickly and enabling more revenue success.

Built with Gong's proprietary generative AI technology that is trained on more than three billion customer interactions, Ask Anything provides accurate, specific, and transparent results in a fraction of the time it normally takes to research deals. According to Gartner, sellers spend 16 percent of their time researching customers – such as listening to previous calls, reviewing meeting notes, and scouring LinkedIn posts – and preparing for meetings every month.¹ Ask Anything increases seller efficiency by enabling them to ask any question about interactions with a particular individual, as well as account and opportunity histories, to quickly surface critical insights to progress deals forward. 

With the new Contact Ask Anything, revenue teams can ask questions and gather insights based on a specific prospect or customer's objectives and pain points. This helps teams boost precision and productivity, saving time on manual research into prospects and customers that can be imprecise and time-consuming. Instead, Ask Anything can instantly generate insights specific to an individual, letting teams quickly personalize their communications to address their most critical challenges.

"Productivity is essential for business success, and AI has become a key driver of this," said Kevin Heraly, Senior Director of GTM Revenue Operations at Terminus. "Gong's Ask Anything feature empowers our sales leaders and reps alike to swiftly and accurately get up to speed on accounts, strategize on deals, and carry out effective follow-ups after customer and prospect interactions. Combined with future-focused insights that enhance our forecasting by bolstering precision across our pipeline, these capabilities are what make Gong indispensable for our operations."

"Revenue teams are busier than ever before, but the need to stay up-to-speed and understand their pipelines with precision is just as important," said Amit Bendov, CEO and co-founder, Gong. "Ask Anything is a game changer that allows teams to easily ask questions about a deal and contacts in a deal to surface insights that lead to higher win rates. With Ask Anything, Gong is extending our revenue intelligence category leadership by transforming how revenue teams engage, support, and nurture customers and prospects."

Ask Anything helps revenue teams – from AEs to CROs – more efficiently review key details and accurately surface critical information and next steps from customer interactions. By revealing key insights, Ask Anything gives teams specific and accurate responses to their questions when deciding how best to land a deal or grow an existing account.
