Gong's AI Builder went GA last week. And it's absolutely insane.

I was lucky enough to have 5 customers Beta this in Q3.

They're saving 10, 20, 30+ hours per week.

Here's what makes it different.

It turns what your top performers are ALREADY doing in the field into repeatable content the rest of your org can use.

Battle cards. Scripts. Case studies. Objection handling guides. Engagement flows.

All built directly from your Gong data and revenue graph.

AI is only powerful as the dataset that underpins it.

What will you build?

My best prospecting month was in May. Generated 7 new meetings and about $500K in new pipeline.

All as a full-time AE running demos, pilots, and even dealing with 20 customers.

𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝:

-Didn’t take a single day off. Built it into my daily habits.

-Prospected 3-5 accounts per day and about 3-4 people at each account.

-Never did an insane day of prospecting. Never broke a day of even 60+ activities. “Do a little every day, so you never have to do a lot.”

-Mixed up multi-channel. LI, video, calling, gifting, warm intros. Different prospects respond better to each. Try them all.

-Did unscalable prospecting methods. Sent custom gifts to people’s homes. Bought a prospect’s book they authored. Prospect how other sellers would never dare.

-Systematized everything. Used my sequences for 2 personas. High, medium, or low personalization. Used my OPPS email framework to kick off every 1st touch. Repurposed it over and over via multi-channel.


Comes back to my favorite motto for prospecting.

“Do a little every day, so you never have to do a lot.”

Revenue lags hard work, so keep at it to finish EOY.


P.S. Loads of resources on pipeline creation here: https://lnkd.in/gVY8Xpxc

Not sure who needs to hear this with Q4 and EOY….

But if your prospect tells you “No, I’m the decision maker on this.”

They most certainly are NOT the decision maker. 

Very junior thing to say lol

It certainly feels like we are living through the attention economy.

Every buyer is flooded with sales pitches, ads, and endless outreach. 

You no longer win because you show up … you win because you stand out.

And nothing stands out more than showing the actual product in a way that feels both engaging and personal.

That’s why Storylane has worked so well for me in 2025.

Instead of a generic deck or a static walkthrough, you can deliver interactive demos.

Buyers don’t just see a feature list, they experience how the product solves their pain.

And here’s the kicker: once they’ve gone through a demo, they’re more invested. 

At Gong, we know the most effective sales motions are the ones that get buyers leaning in early. 

Attention is scarce. Storylane helps you earn it and keep it.

Sup peeps, I'm HIRING! 😎 

You heard it right, I need more folks to help grow our LATAM team.

Here's what I'm looking for:

👉 SDR
👉 AE (Portuguese, Spanish, and English speakers)

If you've been following me, you probably know my leadership style, so no need to go into all that :)

But let me tell you about Spendbase real quick:

🛑 Cool fintech that helps companies save big on SaaS and cloud costs
🛑 Most of the team is based in Europe
🛑 We're teaming up to help the LATAM market crush it
🛑 We've already helped ~1,000 customers
🛑 Spendbase straight-up rocks

DM me if you're interested. 
And comment below with any recommendations!

Thanks!

Happy Monday, peeps!

No way I'm slowing down on these posts, especially right after Black Friday madness. The energy's still popping, so let's keep hyping up our LATAM startups and dive into the hottest industries lighting up the ecosystem in 2025. 

LATAM is on fire, and it's inspiring to see how we're all building something epic together.

🔥 Fintech (Digital Banking, Payments, & Crypto): Straight-up dominating with about 30% of all funding. Brazil and Mexico pulled in $4B last year, and we're talking $6B projected for 2025. Shoutout to game-changers like Nubank and Redelcom | Mercado Pago!

🔥 E-commerce & RetailTech: Grabbing 25% of the action, with a post-pandemic boom pushing the market past $50B by '25. Think cross-border hustles and AI making shopping personal: Rappi out of Colombia and Magazine Luiza in Brazil are killing it.

🔥 Edtech (Online Learning & Skill Development): Shooting up 15-20% with over $3B in funding. It's all about making education reachable in underserved spots, with AI tutors and hybrid vibes on the horizon. Big love for Descomplica (Brazil) and Crehana (Mexico/Peru).

I can't believe I'm flexing, but I'm at this killer fintech with a massive LATAM footprint (yep, Spendbase!). Remember when I mentioned growing my team by 50 superstar hires? We're making moves.🔥 

Just last Friday, we dropped $250K in AWS credits like it was nothing!

Who's down for our Cyber Monday vibe? Hit up Spendbase, let's optimize those costs in LATAM, and keep crushing it together. 🚀

Appreciation Monday! 😎 

Today, I want to shout out some amazing folks from my homeland. 

Why? Because I can. 

And honestly, Colombia is the perfect spot to build a company that truly thrives.

The stats back it up: Colombia's startup ecosystem is on fire with over 5,000 active startups, a ranking as Latin America's top innovation hub by StartupBlink, and projections for a whopping 25% jump in venture funding by the end of 2025 

(thanks to reports from Endeavor and local accelerators)

It's no wonder we're seeing so much magic happening here.

Here’s a quick list of my favorite founders making waves:

👉 Christian Muñoz, CEO of Digital Ventures, just dropped this gem on his corporate page: "Anticipating the market isn't innovating for fashion's sake, it's resolving frictions that no one dares to face yet."

👉 Andrea van der Leeuw, Founder of Mi Barrio Mi Sueño, shared an inspiring story about a woman fighting every day to build a brighter future for her child.

👉 Salomon Vasquez Sanchez, Co-founder & CEO of Tómalo, revealed they got picked by Forbes among tons of incredible Colombian startups.

👉 Rosita León Guevara, Founder & CEO of Litigando.com, is dropping real talk on the innovation process.

👉 Nicolas Duarte Jaraba, Founder/Co-founder of Briki, got to rep his company at the CESA entrepreneurship fair. Huge congrats!

That's why Colombia's future looks so bright. And at Spendbase, we're thrilled to fuel that growth even faster, by helping local teams snag up to $100K in AWS credits so they can scale without the spend stress. 

Who's your favourite Colombian founder? 🚀
