Account activity at your fingertips

The account page centralizes all deal activity across each account.

Sales teams can use the account page to:

  • Keep deals on track - Identify unresponsive or neglected accounts and customer concerns and make informed decisions.

  • Gauge engagement - Know who's involved in the deal, their level of engagement, and whether the right people are active

  • Prepare ahead - Review every previous interaction and review any comments made by your team all along the sales journey - starting with your initial emails and SDR calls.

  • Nail team selling and multi-threading - Keep team members in sync. Your team sees every conversation with the account, and can easily comment on a specific activity, or on the account.

    For example, if a customer asks for technical help or raises concerns, it's easy to respond as a team with a shared view of every interaction.

Customer success teams can use the account page to:

  • Guarantee successful handoffs - Review every previous interaction that happened with the sales team. It’s the ultimate way to get ready for a kickoff or onboarding session.

  • Resolve customer problems faster - Share customer emails so everyone on your team can see their questions, support requests, and product feedback.

  • Reduce churn - Identify unresponsive or neglected accounts and customer concerns. Make more informed decisions to win them back.

Activity over time

The account timeline shows you account activity in two tracks: your activity (purple) and the account's activity (pink), going from the beginning of time (when the account was created) to 12 weeks ahead.

The activity bubbles represent calls, emails, CRM updates (such as when a deal moves forward or is stalled at one stage), and engagement events, such as when shared calls were viewed, and other activities, depending on integrations you have with Gong. The larger the bubble, the more activity there was.
