6 Reasons Why You Should Use Call Recording Software
I asked our customers why they would recommend using Gong for sales call recording. Here’s what they had to say:
REASON #1
Yep, you read that right. Reps love Gong. They use call recording software to help them with note-taking in calls, to review their game tape and improve, and to learn from top performers on the team. Michael Jordan rewatched every game. What would happen if your reps did too?
REASON #2
Managers love Gong too. They use Gong’s call recording system to proactively identify coaching opportunities in their reps’ calls. Each rep has different strengths and opportunities, and Gong’s AI pinpoints exactly what each rep needs to do to improve their performance and close more deals. Manager of the year over here?
Reason #3
Gong’s sales call recording software captures all of your customer-facing interactions on web conferencing, VOIP, phone, in-person meetings and email. That means that you get to validate with a third party – the customer – that your deals are where reps say they are. Gong is a truth serum for your pipeline.
Reason #4
What are customers saying? Which competitors are beating you and why? How are they reacting to new pricing, messaging, or feature rollout? The answer is in the conversations. Gong uses AI to turn your sales call recordings into a goldmine of actionable insights for your business and helps you double down where it works.
Reason #5
Sales call recordings can be shared to anyone in your team. Marketing for messaging. Product for feedback. CS for handoffs. That way, your company can put the customer front and center and create raving fans.
Reason #6
Reduce ramp time by using call recording software to onboard new reps. That means faster quota attainment. Better retention rates. No more call shadowing. And backing mock call training with genuine calls. It’s like training new reps using real life conversations with actual customers.
Why Use Gong for Call Recording?
Gong’s call recording software just works. Whichever web conferencing platform or VOIP system you use for calls, whichever CRM software (Salesforce and more) your team relies on to track sales: Gong integrates with it.
Gong also transcribes your sales call recordings. That way you can search through calls and highlight specific parts of the conversation that matter to you. It’s like Google search, but for your sales calls.
Gong’s AI beats the competition. That means you’ll be able to turn sales call recordings into actionable insights without lifting a finger. Pretty cool, huh?
But don’t just take our word for it. Gong is rated #1 for call recording software on G2 Crowd by 5,000+ users.

You have questions. We have answers.
Call recording software integrates with all telephony systems and web conferencing tools to record, transcribe, and analyze customer-facing calls with AI. It gives reps a complete record of their past conversations with buyers, shows managers which activities are happening across their team, and delivers insights into best practices that your team can use to close more deals.
Call recording software connects to your team’s calendar (GSuite or Microsoft Outlook) to identify customer-facing meetings. It automatically starts recording meetings across telephony systems and webconfering, transcribes speech to text, and analyzes with AI. Call recording for business then generates insights and recommendations: from coaching, deal management, and activity tracking on every deal across your entire team.
Call recording software delivers three key benefits:
- For sales reps: call recording software increases productivity by generating a full transcript of every call and automatically uploads them to your CRM.
- For sales managers: analyze rep performance and delivers coaching recommendations to improve rep performance.
- For sales leaders: identify risk in your pipeline and allows teams to act preemptively to save deals before it’s too late with call recording for business.
Gong uses team members’ calendars to identify calls that need to be recorded. To do so, Gong requires integration with your company’s Office 365 or G Suite. It takes less than 2 hours to connect Gong to all your company’s systems, and it’s all automatic from there. No further action needed (and no forgetting to hit record).
Gong provides customizable options for defining which web conferences it records. Gong will record a web conference based on your customizations, and any changes you make in the web conferencing software.
When a recorded team member connects to a call, they will see the Gong recorder as a participant. The team member can simply remove Gong from the call to prevent it from being recorded.
Compliance is a big deal. Gong’s call recording solution is designed for business: Whether it be data retention or recording consent – we’ve got your back. You can review our security certifications here.
Some countries and US states require that both parties on a call must be notified that the call is being recorded. As a best practice, we recommend including this notification regardless of the call participants’ locations.
Here’s how Gong helps you:
- A personalized consent page hosted by Gong for obtaining recording consent. Team members send invitees the link to this page instead of the conferencing provider’s link. After invitees consent to be recorded, they are directed to the meeting.
- Use our calendar add-on! Install the Gong for Google Calendar add-on domain-wide or per individual to easily schedule meetings using the consent page in the native calendar app.
- Audio prompt. Participants hear the prompt when they join the call, telling them that the call is being recorded.
- Pre-call emails. Participants can receive an email 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled call reminding them of the call and that it’s recorded.
With Gong, you can set your compliance settings to meet your local and company requirements. We’ve got you covered.
