Thus far, Gong has signed over 100 customers in Europe including Aircall, Hopin, GoCardless, and MOO. Ongoing remote environments have fueled a strong demand for Gong’s Revenue Intelligence Platform, as distributed teams look for better ways to collaborate with each other and their customers. Powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language understanding, Gong enables better insights into deal pipelines, capturing customer context and maximizing customer retention.
“After many international companies reached out to us, looking for access to the insight uncovered by our revenue intelligence platform, we knew it was time to meet global demand in a strategic and thoughtful way,” said Gong CEO Amit Bendov. “With a physical presence in Europe, we can continue to demonstrate our category leadership, support the massive growth we’ve seen in the past year, and deliver the product customers are asking for.”
One of Gong’s UK-based clients, Filtered, has seen an immediate return on investment. Filtered is a learning experience platform that leverages AI to neutralize content overload. Since working with Gong, its annual contract value (ACV) on its flagship product increased by 62% and they launched a new product based on learnings from Gong, which now contributes to 20% of its revenue.
