Intro to Deals


Article summary

Deals in Gong display the big picture of your pipeline and allow you to focus on specific deal details. By integrating CRM data with deal conversations, Gong helps identify potential issues or successful strategies. The Deals section requires CRM integration. The Pipeline section provides an overview of pipeline health, individual deal status, and management. Deal boards help track open deals, test forecast numbers, and make strategic decisions. The Forecast tab allows confident forecasting based on performance, pipeline status, and deal details. The Analytics section offers dashboards and reports for deals and forecasts, including trends, changes, performance, pacing, win/loss insights, and coaching opportunities.

Deals display your pipeline's big picture and let you zoom into the finer details of each deal. We combine your CRM data with your deal conversations (emails, calls) clearly and quickly to surface trouble spots or blueprints for success.

Note: You need a CRM integration to use this area of Gong.
