In this episode of Innovative Revenue Leader, Seth Marrs sits down with Eilon Reshef, Co-Founder and CPO of Gong, for a wide-ranging conversation about AI agents, staying focused on outcomes over hype, surviving the 2022 to 2023 tech downturn, and why Gong never cut its engineering team when competitors were offshoring to cut costs.Eilon also shares his thinking behind Gong Enable, a new product that turns real conversation data into AI-powered training, and why he believes effectiveness is finally becoming measurable for the first time. Takeaways:Focus on outcomes, not terminology. Eilon is still skeptical of AI hype, explaining that the term \"agent\" is useful only insofar as it helps people understand what a tool does and what value it provides. The real story is LLM-powered automation that drives measurable revenue outcomes.The build-versus-buy trap. Most revenue organizations are not in the business of building software, and even teams that can build something quickly find it is outdated within months. Packaging, hosting, calibrating, and maintaining tools at scale is an entirely different challenge from spinning something up locally.Gong survived the downturn by doubling down. During the 2022 to 2023 tech contraction, many competitors moved to offshore engineering to cut costs. Gong chose not to cut its engineering team, believing the product had fundamental merit. That investment in product development during the downcycle enabled the launch of two nine-figure product lines: Forecasting and Sales Engagement.Enable closes the loop between conversation intelligence and coaching. Gong Enable uses real customer conversation data to build AI training scenarios, including realistic objections like \"I'm in the car right now,\" that no human would think to script. It connects the same scoring logic used to evaluate calls into...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qWZ42xIvcGOE2moAw4kd1FhbmX32HGyZ1K2Fy3nssjQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85Yzlj/ZmRhMzJiYTlkNjVl/MjVlOTc1Mzk4NWYz/OGUxYi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
