Move your team from Gong to Salesloft.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Salesloft — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in Gong is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
Both platforms auto-join calls via a bot and produce AI-analyzed, speaker-labeled transcripts with deal insights. To migrate from Gong to Salesloft: export existing call recordings and transcripts from Gong (Settings > Data Export) before terminating the subscription, then ingest them into your archive storage — Salesloft does not bulk-import legacy Gong transcripts natively. Set up Salesloft Conversations by connecting the same conferencing accounts (Zoom, Teams) under Settings > Integrations; the bot will auto-join future scheduled meetings. Configure Tracker keywords in Salesloft to match the Topics you had set in Gong so competitor mentions, pricing objections, and key phrases are flagged. In reverse (Salesloft to Gong): the Gong recorder connects to Zoom and Teams the same way; download Salesloft call recordings from the Conversations library before switching, then configure Gong Topics to replicate your Salesloft Trackers.
- Warning: There is no direct transcript import between platforms; historical Gong calls cannot be searched inside Salesloft — only newly recorded calls enter Salesloft's AI analysis pipeline.
- Warning: Gong analyzes 300+ proprietary signals and surfaces deal risk scores directly from call content; Salesloft Conversations surfaces insights inside the Rhythm workflow but deal risk scoring requires the Deals module to be active as well.
- Warning: Both products require per-user licensing; seats on the old platform may need to remain active during the transition period, creating a temporary dual-cost window.
Both platforms write sales activity data back to Salesforce automatically, eliminating manual CRM entry. Gong's AI Deal Reviewer agent suggests CRM field updates (contacts, deal stage, MEDDIC/SPICED fields, next steps) derived from conversation content, which can be auto-approved or reviewed. Salesloft logs all Cadence activities (emails sent, calls made, LinkedIn touches) automatically to Salesforce activity records and supports automation rules triggered by CRM field changes. To migrate from Gong to Salesloft: audit which Salesforce fields Gong was writing (Settings > CRM Sync) and recreate those logging rules in Salesloft's Salesforce integration settings; configure Salesloft's activity sync to cover the same call, email, and meeting object types; test that SFDC contact and opportunity records update correctly before switching off Gong's sync. In reverse (Salesloft to Gong): identify Salesloft automation rules that update CRM fields and replicate the logic as Gong's auto-sync field mappings; validate that the Gong AI Deal Reviewer has the same MEDDIC/SPICED field mappings your team used.
- Warning: Gong's AI-suggested CRM field updates (e.g., MEDDIC/SPICED population from conversation content) have no direct equivalent in Salesloft's standard CRM sync — Salesloft logs activities but does not infer and propose deal-stage or qualification-field changes from call transcripts.
- Warning: Salesloft supports 180+ integrations via its App Directory; Gong's integration set is narrower. Teams relying on non-Salesforce CRMs (HubSpot, Copper, Dynamics) should verify Salesloft's support level for those systems before migrating.
- Warning: Gong explicitly states that existing tech-stack integrations are included at no additional cost; Salesloft's higher-tier plans may be required for advanced automation rules tied to CRM field changes — verify plan requirements before migration.
Both platforms monitor open pipeline using AI to calculate deal health scores and surface risk signals, but the underlying data models differ. Gong's AI Deal Reviewer agent derives its signals from recorded conversation content (300+ signals from call/email analysis) combined with CRM data; Salesloft Deals pulls risk signals from CRM sync, Cadence engagement gaps, and Rhythm buyer-signal data. To migrate from Gong to Salesloft: ensure the Salesloft-Salesforce sync is active and all open opportunities are flowing into the Deals module before decommissioning Gong; configure Salesloft risk alert thresholds (stuck deal alerts, engagement gap criteria) to replicate the deal health criteria you monitored in Gong; set up Rhythm actions to surface recommended next steps for at-risk deals as Gong's task suggestions did. In reverse (Salesloft to Gong): connect Gong's CRM integration to Salesforce, enable the AI Deal Reviewer agent, and set Gong Deal Topics to track the competitor names and objection phrases you had as Salesloft Trackers.
- Warning: Gong's deal risk scores are grounded in conversation content — if a team has low call recording coverage, Gong's signals will be sparse and the AI Deal Reviewer will have less data to work with than Salesloft's engagement-gap model.
- Warning: Salesloft Deals is part of the Revenue Orchestration Platform and requires an active Salesforce (or supported CRM) integration; teams without Salesforce may find deal visibility limited compared to Gong's broader CRM support.
- Warning: Neither platform exports deal health scores in a structured format that can be directly imported into the other; historical deal risk timelines will be lost on transition.
Both platforms provide AI-assisted pipeline roll-up and forecast submission workflows on top of CRM data. Gong Forecast aggregates conversation signals plus CRM fields to generate predictive revenue projections with deal-level drill-down; Salesloft's Forecast module produces rep-, team-, and org-level roll-ups from Deals module data with AI risk overlays. To migrate from Gong to Salesloft: document the forecast categories (e.g., Commit, Best Case, Pipeline) and submission cadence your team used in Gong Forecast; recreate those categories in Salesloft Forecast settings and set the same review cadence; ensure the Salesloft-Salesforce sync is confirmed complete for all open opportunities before the first Salesloft forecast cycle. In reverse (Salesloft to Gong): map Salesloft's forecast categories to Gong Forecast's naming conventions; confirm the Gong CRM integration is syncing the same opportunity fields that Salesloft was reading, and run a parallel forecast cycle to validate the number before fully cutting over.
- Warning: Gong Forecast incorporates signals directly from recorded conversation content (call sentiment, deal risk detected in transcripts) in addition to CRM data; Salesloft Forecast relies primarily on CRM deal data and engagement metrics from Cadence and Deals — the AI signal mix is different and forecast numbers may diverge on the same pipeline.
- Warning: Both tools are sold as part of their respective platforms, not as standalone forecast products; teams cannot trial forecasting in isolation without connecting the broader platform to their CRM.
- Warning: Salesloft's Analytics Command Center provides Cadence performance data (email open rates, call connect rates) alongside forecast data; Gong Analytics focuses more on conversation-quality metrics — teams switching need to rebuild their reporting dashboards rather than exporting them.
Gong Enable delivers coaching through a dedicated dashboard with talk-ratio metrics, methodology adoption rates, and inline transcript comments; Salesloft surfaces coaching moments inside the Conversations module, auto-populating manager scorecards from transcript analysis and flagging action items via Rhythm. To move from Gong to Salesloft: document the scoring rubrics, methodology frameworks (e.g., MEDDIC criteria), and call libraries used in Gong Enable before export; recreate scorecard templates in Salesloft Conversations (Settings > Scorecards), and curate a new library of example calls in Salesloft. Configure Tracker keywords to auto-flag the same coaching moments Gong Topics surfaced. In reverse (Salesloft to Gong): map Salesloft scorecard fields to Gong's methodology framework, re-upload curated calls to Gong's call library, and configure the Gong coaching dashboard with the same performance metrics the team tracked in Salesloft.
- Warning: Gong Enable is a named module within the Gong platform; Salesloft does not have a standalone coaching module — coaching functionality is embedded inside Conversations and Rhythm, so teams used to a dedicated coaching inbox will need to adapt their workflow.
- Warning: Gong allows managers to leave timestamped inline comments directly on transcript text; Salesloft's coaching feedback is delivered via scorecards and action items in Rhythm, not inline on the transcript.
- Warning: Call libraries built in Gong (curated clip collections for onboarding) have no direct export/import path into Salesloft; each clip must be re-identified and re-linked manually.
Both platforms provide multi-channel outreach sequencing (email, phone, LinkedIn) with AI-driven task prioritization. Gong Engage surfaces a prioritized task list from deal context and conversation signals and generates AI draft follow-up emails from recorded call content; Salesloft Cadence runs structured multi-step sequences with the Rhythm AI engine prioritizing which Cadence step to execute next based on buyer signals. To migrate from Gong to Salesloft: export your Gong Engage sequence templates (email copy, call scripts, step timing) and recreate them as Salesloft Cadences — the step types (email, call, LinkedIn) map directly; configure the Salesloft Connect browser extension for Gmail/Outlook so Cadence email steps send from the rep's connected inbox; set up Rhythm to surface Cadence steps using the same signals (email opens, deal stage) you relied on in Gong Engage. In reverse (Salesloft to Gong): export Cadence step content from Salesloft's sequence library and rebuild as Gong Engage task playbooks; connect Gong Engage to the same email/calendar accounts and set AI email generation context from CRM and call history.
- Warning: Gong Engage AI-drafts follow-up emails using content pulled directly from recorded call transcripts; Salesloft Cadence email steps use templates written by the team and can include Rhythm-suggested personalizations, but do not auto-generate copy from a prior call transcript the way Gong Engage does.
- Warning: Salesloft Cadence is the more mature, standalone sequence product with deeper automation rules, A/B testing on email steps, and a richer step library; Gong Engage is newer and positioned as a unified layer on top of Gong's conversation data — feature depth in sequencing may favor Salesloft.
- Warning: Moving active sequences mid-flight requires manually notifying prospects or pausing ongoing Cadence/Engage steps; migrating live sequences without a gap in contact is operationally complex and should be planned for a natural break (end of a sales quarter).
