Summarize Calls so Salespeople Can Quickly Enter Meeting Notes and Outcomes

Remind the salespeople to follow up on the day's meetings with a summary of the calls to log in the Insights page. Salespeople can capture notes for a meeting outcome or create follow-up activities.

The Calls to Log list displays the first three appointments in the order that the meetings occurred. Salespeople can view all appointments if there are more than three completed daily appointments. They can click Calls to Log from Last 7 Days if there are calls to log from the previous seven days. You can change the date range from seven to any number of days in the past.

Salespeople can dismiss the reminder if they don't need to follow up. In addition, salespeople get proactive notification when a meeting starts. Clicking on the notification opens a page that lets them take notes on the currently running meeting.
