To the call you want to score

Scoring calls with Gong gives you quick, structured coaching, so reps and managers can track improvements over time. Use scorecards to distinguish between strong calls and ones that need improvement by focusing on specific aspects of the call, and providing clear, detailed feedback. Scoring a call is counted as feedback given, unless you're a call owner scoring your own call.

The ability to score calls is set in your permission profile. If you don't have it and think you should, contact your Gong admin.

Set a scorecard to private

When a scorecard is private, only the host and call participant can see it on the call page.

  • Private scorecards can be pushed to the Gong API and downloaded as a CSV.

  • Scores from private scorecards are visible in coaching stats but not on the Insights > Team > Scorecards tab.

  • Private scorecard scores are hidden on the Calls and Calls page, but there is still an indication that a scorecard exists.

  • Private scorecards are aggregated in the Insights section but are more difficult to find, so leadership can still view the metrics.

  • You’ll see the indication of whether the scorecard is public or public beside the submit button. To make a public scorecard private, click Public and choose Only me. If you want to make the scorecard visible to selected people, choose specific people.
