Welcome back to "We Fucked Up So You Don't Have To," the podcast that blasts through the chaos with a POW POW POW! This episode is all about the power of keeping a paper trail. Trust us, it's more exciting than it sounds!
Melanie and I dive into why having organized notes during customer calls is crucial for top-notch client management and smooth internal communication. Melanie drops knowledge bombs on capturing essential info like client goals and their feelings towards your platform. This isn't just about making your life easier – it's about nailing those internal stakeholder questions and prepping for future calls like a pro.
I’ll hit you with some real talk about using AI tools for note-taking. They’re great, but don’t lean on them too hard! They might miss the vibes and sentiments that can make or break a meeting.
We both agree on one thing: buffer time is a must! After a call, take 15 minutes – use tools like Reclaim.ai – to get your documentation and follow-up tasks on point. Templates are your best friends here. Keep your notes consistent and easy to read, focusing on key points like meeting date, attendees, discussion points, action items, and follow-ups.
Melanie also highlights the magic of tagging notes for other departments – think marketing for case studies or product teams for feature feedback. It’s all about making sure everyone’s in the loop.
And hey, we want to hear from you! What topics do you want us to tackle next? Reach out and let us know. Remember, we fucked up so you don’t have to. Let’s get into it!
