Your team has Gong.
They're still not using it.

AmpUp doesn't replace Gong — it makes Gong worth the investment. We turn conversation data into coaching reps actually use, practice that builds real skills, and prep that wins deals.

The Only Comparison That Matters

Forget the feature list.
Look at the numbers.

Every AI sales tool has features. Very few can show you what happens when reps actually use the product.

Gong has an adoption death spiral.
You've probably seen it.

Here's what we hear from almost every large Gong deployment.

1

Reps don't see the value

There's no clear line between using Gong and earning more money. So they kick the recording agent off calls. More than half of reps do this.

2

Managers can't keep up

Listening to 40-minute calls to find coaching moments doesn't scale. Less than 3% of calls get reviewed. Reps know nobody's watching.

3

High usage ≠ better results

The one team using Gong 2x more than everyone else? Same revenue numbers. Word spreads fast. "Even the people who use it aren't doing better."

4

Adoption drops further

Why would a rep record their calls if the top Gong team isn't outperforming anyone? It becomes an administrative burden, not a revenue tool.

The result

You paid for an intelligence platform that most of your team ignores. Not because Gong is bad at what it does — it's excellent at recording and analyzing. But insights alone don't change behavior.

AmpUp breaks the loop by giving reps a reason to care. When your call data flows into personalized coaching, realistic practice, and meeting prep that actually helps you close — you stop kicking the agent off.

From the Field

The conversation behind closed doors

What sales leaders are saying about their Gong investment — and what they need next.

We spent seven figures on Gong. A year later, more than half our reps are still removing the recording bot from calls. The ones who don't? Their numbers aren't any better. We can't keep defending this investment to the board without something that actually moves the needle.

CRO — $150M B2B SaaS Company

I have 12 reps. I'd need to listen to 30+ hours of calls a week to coach them properly with Gong. I listen to maybe two. The rest get a summary and a pat on the back. I want to spend my time coaching, not reviewing calls to get to a place where I'm able to coach.

VP of Sales — Top-3 North American EV Manufacturer

Our reps told us point blank: "Show me how this helps me close more deals and I'll use it. Until then, it's just surveillance." We tried mandating adoption. It went from 20% to 35% and then right back down. You can't mandate your way out of a value problem.

Head of Sales AI Strategy — Top-5 Enterprise Database Software Vendor

The moment we layered in a tool that could take Gong's call data and turn it into actual coaching — personalized to each rep, tied to the deals in their pipeline — adoption flipped. Reps started requesting that calls be recorded. Managers finally had leverage. We went from begging people to use the system to people asking for more.

SVP of Sales Operations — Fortune 500 Cybersecurity Company

Nobody ever explained how recording my calls would help me make more money. It felt like my manager was just building a file on me. Once I could actually prep for calls using my own past conversations and practice against real objections from my deals — I wanted every call recorded. That data became mine, not just management's.

Gong

The Intelligence Layer

World-class conversation intelligence. Records calls, transcribes them, identifies patterns, gives managers visibility. If you need to know what happened on a call, Gong is the answer.

Where it stops: Gong surfaces insights. What you do with them is up to you. A manager has to find time to review calls, identify coaching moments, connect them to methodology, and deliver feedback — for every rep, on every deal. At scale, it doesn't happen.

AmpUp

The Execution Layer

Picks up where Gong stops. Ingests your conversation data — from Gong, your CRM, email, every customer interaction — and does three things automatically:

1. Coaches every rep, continuously

Sales Brain analyzes winning behaviors across your entire org — by region, team, deal stage — and builds personalized coaching for each rep. It finds what your best closers do differently and teaches it to everyone.

2. Creates practice from real deals

Roleplay built from actual objections reps face in their pipeline right now. The objection heard yesterday becomes tomorrow's practice session — with coaching on how top performers handle that exact situation.

3. Prepares reps for every conversation

Auto-generated pre-call prep from past calls, CRM, email, and deep research. Then a voice/chat session with the AI agent for specific prep questions — producing a second tailored document. Two layers of prep, zero manual work.

The Core Difference

True continuous learning vs. static rules

Other tools say "AI learning" but use static analysis rules underneath. AmpUp's Sales Brain learns from every deal outcome across your entire org and feeds it back into coaching, roleplay, and prep — automatically. It's not learning how to coach one rep better. It's learning what's actually winning deals across your whole company and distributing that intelligence to everyone.

Keep Gong. Add the execution layer that makes it pay off.

1

Gong does what Gong does best

Record every call. Transcribe. Analyze. Surface deal risks and pipeline patterns. Gong is your intelligence layer — keep using it.

2

AmpUp ingests and connects

Pulls in Gong's data alongside your CRM, email, and deal outcomes. Sales Brain connects the dots: which behaviors actually progress deals? Which patterns predict wins?

3

Reps get better — automatically

Personalized coaching. Roleplay from this week's real objections. Pre-call prep with full history. Every rep gets what they need — without waiting for a manager.

The Flywheel

More coaching → better results → reps see the value → reps keep calls recorded → more data → better coaching. The negative feedback loop becomes a positive one.

"Doesn't Gong already do AI coaching?"

We get this question a lot. Here's what teams tell us after trying Gong's AI features:

"We were told Gong's AI would transform coaching. In practice, it's keyword tracking and scorecards we have to build manually. There's no actual learning loop. The 'AI coaching' is really 'AI-generated summaries that a human still has to act on.'"

AmpUp Pattern Recognition
Connects behaviors to outcomes
Identifies that reps who handle pricing objections a certain way close 40% more. Turns that into coaching and roleplay for everyone else.
