Common Ramp Pitfalls
1. **Skipping product knowledge for activity** — Reps who rush to call without deep product understanding burn leads.
2. **Not listening to enough Gong calls** — You learn more from 10 recorded calls than 10 hours of training slides.
3. **Avoiding the phone** — Email-only reps ramp 2x slower. The phone is uncomfortable but essential.
4. **Sandbagging pipeline** — New reps under-report pipeline to manage expectations. This hides coaching opportunities.
5. **No debrief after calls** — Every call in months 1-2 should have a 5-minute self-debrief: what worked, what didn't, what to try next.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Have new reps listen to 20+ Gong recordings in week 1 — pattern recognition from real calls beats any training deck.
- 💡Don't assign quota in month 1. The pressure to hit numbers before understanding the product leads to bad habits that are hard to unlearn.
- 💡Pair new reps with a 'buddy' (not their manager) — someone they can ask 'dumb' questions without feeling judged.
- 💡Use a certification gate before allowing independent selling. If they can't pass a mock discovery call, they're not ready for real prospects.
