OPERATING PRINCIPLES<\/strong><\/h1>\n

These are the operating principles we use to manage our day-to day with.
They also guide us on what to look for in new Gongsters we hire.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

CREATE RAVING FANS<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWe don\u2019t want just customers; we only want raving fans. We prioritize selling to customers that are a great fit for Gong, and do our utmost to create the best possible product and service experience. You cannot go wrong by making a customer happy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

WANT MORE<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nWe are never completely satisfied with our accomplishments. When we achieve new records, we celebrate, and then imagine new ones. Across the product and company we\u2019re building, this applies to everything we do. Every individual and team at Gong strive to be the best at their craft.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

CHALLENGE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nConventional wisdom yields conventional results. We want extraordinary results. We encourage ourselves to question common assumptions and \u201caxioms\u201d. This doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re doing the opposite of conventional wisdom, but the notion that \u201ceverybody is doing it that way\u201d just doesn\u2019t cut it at Gong.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

Win as a team<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nGongsters optimize for the team win, and we strive to hire people who prioritize team wins above their own. We\u2019re here to win as a team.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

act now<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nInstead of spending too much time discussing how we\u2019re going to act, we simply act. We keep \u201cwork about work\u201d and \u201cplans for having plans\u201d to the necessary minimum.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

no sugar<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nAs bitter as they may be, we prefer to know the facts. Sugar-coating does not help make decisions or solve problem quickly. We encourage every Gongster to be direct, speak their mind, and expect the same from their peers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n

FAVOR THE LONG TERM<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nOur vision will take a while to fulfill; When conflicted with taking a shortcut now vs. doing the right thing for the long term, we favor the long term.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n\n

ENJOY THE RIDE<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-title>\n\n

\n\nLast but not least: While we\u2019re very serious about our work, we don\u2019t take ourselves too seriously. Have fun and enjoy the ride!\n<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards-item>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-numbered-cards>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-section-content>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/block-section>\n\n\n\n\n\n
