What do you recommend to record meetings in non-intrusive ways?
I'd suggest you don't. If I found out a salesperson was recording my calls without me knowing I'd not only cancel any business with the company, I'd blast them to high heaven and back. Knowing a call is being recorded isn't "intrusive".
I have a great method for keeping sales calls short, and pretty much 90% of my meetings are 30 minutes or less. * Agendas: I do not take a meeting request without an agenda. 50% of the time this eliminates the meeting because either it's a few questions than can be an email, or they cancel the request because doing that is too much work. This is ideal when people are using meetings to transfer cognitive loads to othe…
> I skip all the prelim questions where they "learn about your business" which is just looking for other opportunities to pitch me things. I know my business, I know my need, let's talk about how your product fits that. The only way for the sales folks to tailor a demo or presentation for you is to learn about your business. Your method here comes across as very transactional and impersonal, you need a relationship w…
Yes and it's their job to do that, not waste the buying decisionmaker's time doing their homework for them.

Don't offer to save 20%, that's a minor benefit. The sales team will still be working that time. Offer to increase sales 25%. That's a serious improvement. ((100-80)/100 = 25%)
You can only reduce costs by so much. And each time you reduce them, you make it harder to reduce them further.
But if you can increase sales or increase profits, then there's no limit to how high you can go.
Focus on the positive things you can bring to the upside, not the things you can do to reduce the downside.
This is interesting. Are you familiar with products like Gong and Chorus.ai for call recording, and outreach.io for automated emails? If I look at products like Gong it is very much a pain killer. It makes it possible for managers to coach their salespeople by reviewing sales calls and therefore close more deals. This however strikes me as more like a vitamin. It saves sales people some time from doing salesforce adm…
It is an interesting idea. Transcription isn't new, but the extraction of a list of actions and bullet points is intriguing. It would need to be better than what a sales guy could get by copy/pasting a transcription into ChatGPT, not because sales guys are going to start doing that, but because Salesforce could whip out a wrapper for such things fairly quickly easily, so you need to be wary of having a strategy that…

This is great. This is one of the key functions of a digital PA. Something I've been wanting Siri to be able to do for .. well, since I heard about Siri. "Hey Siri, summarize that meeting we just had and email the summary and action points to everyone."
Interesting. Would love to try it. What is a good way to record a phone call on iPhone? Or to record a meeting done in google meet?
That being said, of course it is important letting people who are on the call know they being recorded.
