Share buyer optimised call summaries enhanced by AI
Making it extremely easy to create and share buyer optimised call summaries for your B2B sales deals.
Sharing a call summary with buyers is a common aspect of a follow-up. The way sales reps share a call summary varies. But ultimately it is key to create takeaways and next steps, so the deal moves forward.
With the evolving capabilities of AI, it has become a sort of standard to implement voice to text technology either through a call recording tool like Zoom or with a specified solution like Gong. With these solutions, calls are recorded, transcribed and summarised automatically, so that sales and customer success teams can use these call recordings for various use cases.
One of the use cases is to share the call recordings with buyers. Either by simply sharing the link to the call recording or by sharing the call recording summary. The challenge in this process is to understand the true value of sharing the information from the call and to highlight what is relevant for the buying stakeholders.
How do you create a call summary?
Call summaries used to be created from partly remembering what has been said on a call and from taking notes during a call. And then, whoever created the call summary would manually write up the text for it. But today, various tools allow this whole process to be automated and optimised. The most efficient way to create call summaries is to use a call recording tool that records, transcribes and automatically summaries the call with AI.
However, to then prepare the call recording or summary, it is advised to tweak and twist it, especially when shared with buyers, so that the content is optimised for whoever is receiving it.
What does a call summary consist of?
A call summary typically includes key details and highlights from a phone call, meeting, or conference. Here are the common elements:
- Date and Time: When the call took place.
- Participants: Names and roles of the people involved in the call.
- Purpose: The main reason for the call or the objectives to be achieved.
- Key Points Discussed: Summary of the main topics and points discussed during the call.
- Decisions Made: Any decisions or agreements that were reached during the call.
- Action Items: Tasks or actions that need to be completed, along with the responsible parties and deadlines.
- Follow-up: Any next steps or future meetings scheduled.
- Notes: Additional relevant information, observations, or side discussions.
The level of detail can vary depending on the context and purpose of the call.
What about the call summary is important for buyers?
In a B2B sales process, a call summary is crucial for buyers as it ensures clarity, alignment, and follow-up on critical aspects of the sales discussion. Here are the key components that are important for buyers:
- Understanding of Needs: The summary should clearly outline the buyer's needs, pain points, and objectives discussed during the call. This ensures that both parties are aligned on what the buyer is looking for.
- Product/Service Details: Summarize the features, benefits, and specifications of the product or service discussed. This helps the buyer understand how your offering meets their needs.
- Pricing and Terms: Include details about pricing, payment terms, and any discounts or special offers mentioned during the call. This is critical for the buyer's budgeting and decision-making process.
- Value Proposition: Highlight the unique value proposition and benefits that your product or service offers to the buyer. This reinforces why they should choose your solution over competitors.
- Implementation and Support: Outline the implementation process, timelines, and support offered. Buyers need to know what to expect in terms of onboarding and ongoing support.
- Case Studies/References: Mention any relevant case studies, success stories, or references that were discussed. This adds credibility and helps the buyer see how others have benefited from your product or service.
- Action Items and Next Steps: Clearly list any action items for both parties, including who is responsible and the deadlines. Also, outline the next steps in the sales process, such as follow-up calls, demos, or trials.
- Decision Timeline: If discussed, include the buyer's timeline for making a decision. This helps in planning follow-ups and ensuring timely communication.
- Questions and Concerns: Address any questions or concerns raised by the buyer during the call. Providing answers and solutions demonstrates attentiveness and helps build trust.
- Contact Information: Ensure that the contact information of key stakeholders is included for easy follow-up and communication.
By focusing on these elements, the call summary becomes a valuable tool for buyers in their decision-making process and helps maintain a clear and professional sales relationship.
