When to use it

Straight after every sales call

Step by step

  1. Ask before you record

    Tell the prospect at the start that you'd like to take notes with an AI tool and check they're happy. If not, take handwritten notes instead.

  2. Get the notes or transcript

    If your plan includes Zoom AI Companion or Google Meet's 'Take notes for me', switch it on for the call. Otherwise, record a voice note of your key points right after the call.

  3. Turn them into a summary and email

    Paste the transcript, AI notes or your voice note text into your AI assistant with this prompt.

    Prompt to copyHere are notes from a sales call with [prospect role] at [company]: [paste]. Give me: 1) Their situation in 3 lines, 2) Needs and goals, 3) Concerns or objections, word-for-word where possible, 4) Budget and timing if mentioned, 5) Agreed next steps with who and when, 6) My honest read of how likely they are to buy and why. Then write a follow-up email under 150 words that thanks them, recaps what we agreed in bullet points and confirms the next step. British English.
  4. Send and log it

    Send the follow-up the same day and paste the summary into your lead sheet or CRM notes.

What you get
