Gong is a platform your reps have to learn. Taskbase is a coach they use in week one.

Gong is the biggest name in revenue intelligence, with hundreds of features. Taskbase gives your leaders the same views as apps they choose, and gives every rep a proactive coach that adapts to their own way of working.

Platform or coach

A platform you learn, or a coach that learns you

Gong is a capable platform: hundreds of features across several major tools. That is also the difficulty. A rep logs in for the first time and faces a wall of buttons, needs training, and most of what the platform can do is never used. Taskbase starts from the other end.

One interface for everyone

A standard interface for every user means many do not like it, and nobody can change it. Adoption has to be pushed by management, and it takes months, sometimes years.

A chat and a task list

The simplest interface there is: a coach you talk to, and a list of what you do together with the AI. The views come when you need them.

Every rep gets their own agent

It learns how each rep writes, how long they want their briefing and what they ignore, and it stays within the standards you set.

The same view, as an app

The deal board, in Gong and in Taskbase

Everything a sales leader looks at in Gong can be a view in Taskbase. A view is an app: the screen, the logic and the data underneath from your CRM, recorders and other tools. If an app is missing, a leader describes it in chat, Taskbase builds it in about 15 minutes, and after a few changes it becomes the standard for your reps.

Choose what your reps see

Only the views your company uses

  1. 01

    Take the standard apps, build your own, leave out the rest

    One rep may use an app that the others never see. In a platform, everybody sees everything, and new reps are overwhelmed on day one.

  2. 02

    A standard that each rep can adapt

    Reps get your standard and can shape it to their needs within your guardrails: drop buttons they do not use, make the morning briefing shorter, keep the detail they like. That is where adoption comes from.

  3. 03

    Your recorder stays

    Taskbase taps into the recorder your team already uses. A rep who records in Microsoft Teams keeps doing that and does not need Gong’s recorder.

  4. 04

    Build any view, by text or voice

    RevOps and leaders can build new apps on top of Taskbase: tell it what you want in Slack, by message or voice, and it builds the view. In Gong you work with the views Gong ships and a separate agent builder.

The playbook

A methodology is not a playbook

Gong covers a sales methodology such as MEDDIC or SPICED, and you create battle cards around it. A sales playbook is more: the whole sales process, your products and the problems they solve, discovery and demo calls, cold calls and scripts, objections and competitors.

In Gong

  • Scorecards against a methodology such as MEDDIC or SPICED.
  • Battle cards that you create and keep up to date.
  • Recordings to watch and learn from, which takes a lot of time.
  • Feedback after every call that few reps read.

Coaching

Skills, not scorecards

  1. 01

    About 20 skills, derived from the playbook

    Problem impact discovery, business case, active listening, challenge-focused pitching and objection handling, among others. Active listening is not only a talk ratio, and objection handling is judged against what your playbook says.

  2. 02

    Tracked per rep, over time

    You see how every rep develops on each skill, week by week, and whether coaching changes behaviour.

  3. 03

    Proactive, in the chat reps use

    Slack, Google Chat or Microsoft Teams. Taskbase repeats a point when a rep does not improve, and motivates them.

  4. 04

    Short enough to read

    One note on one skill, instead of a long scorecard after every call.

The simplest interface

A task list you work through with your coach

In Slack, Teams or Google Chat it is a chat. On the web it is a task list. Either way it is one place, with the views one click away.

What do you want off your plate?

The web app’s task list. Names and tasks are fictional.

Proactive

An agent that moves first, and learns from the replies

  1. 01

    It anticipates

    Taskbase watches what the rep is doing. When an email arrives, the answer is already drafted before the rep has seen it.

  2. 02

    It learns from every reply

    If a rep says “that email is bad, change it”, Taskbase changes that email and how it writes for this rep from then on. Before launch it reads the rep’s last 100 emails to learn their style.

  3. 03

    It sees how it is used

    Every interaction is a chat, so Taskbase sees what reps ask for, what frustrates them and what they ignore, and reacts. You see usage, time saved and skill growth. Clicks on a platform say little about whether it helped.

  4. 04

    Leaders can reach reps

    A leader can send a message through Taskbase to a rep, to motivate them to use a tool or do something. Reps do not have to log in to be reached.

  5. 05

    Individual by design

    Some reps want a long meeting briefing, others a short one. Taskbase learns which, for each rep, inside your standards.

2005
Siebel · on-premise
vs
Salesforce · cloud
Today
Gong · legacy
vs
Taskbase · AI-first

In 2005, would you have chosen Salesforce as your new CRM, or Siebel on-premise? Today we face the same choice. Do you pick a legacy product, Gong, or a product built on the newest AI frameworks, AI-first, like Taskbase?

Adaptability decides

The market moves fast. Your company releases new products, AI moves fast too, and your reps need new apps all the time. On a legacy platform you wait for the vendor’s next release. With an AI-first tool you build the app yourself, on the day you need it. Do you want to wait until Gong decides to release a feature, or build it yourself?

Before you sign

Five questions to ask any platform vendor

  1. 1How long until every rep uses it in their own way: a week, or months?
  2. 2Can every rep shape the interface and the briefing, within your standards?
  3. 3Does the playbook learn from your calls, or is it a methodology you maintain yourself?
  4. 4Does the coaching target specific skills, and can you measure the improvement per rep?
  5. 5What does it cost with every tool and use case you need? Do you pay per token or get flat pricing?
