III. Here's Everything You Need To Do:

A quick recap of your most important tasks

1. Ensure Reps Record Their Calls

Note – assistant@gong.io needs to be added at least 30 min before the start of the meeting

If you are using a Zoom password, append the password at the end of the Zoom URL (See screenshot below)

This is so Gong knows what virtual meeting to join

This way, you don’t have to remember to add it each time!

You have complete control over your Gong recording.

At any point, you can stop the recording simply by removing Gong from the meeting (just like you would any other partcipant)

(Note: You cannot currently pause the recording)

2. Help Drive Call Recording Adoption

There are several fun ways to drive adoption of Gong. Here is what we suggest

  • Send them an email with login instructions. Here is a template
  • Send them reminders to add assistant@gong.io to their meetings
  • Share call snippets from great calls to incentivize getting their calls recorded
  • Run contests or SPIFs for the best calls submitted to the readiness team

Managers get very creative when it comes driving adoption. Contests, virtual posters, SPIFs, weekly Gong Call of the Week – all ideas are encouraged!
