Turn rough notes from a sales or discovery call into a recap email that confirms next steps while the conversation is still fresh. Different from chasing a lead who has gone quiet, this is for right after a real call.

What it produces
Real output from this tool, not a mock-up.
What went in
- What was discussed on the call
- 45 min with Pennine Foods. Karen (ops manager) plus Dev from quality. Current process: quality team pulls production records from three systems, retypes into a BRC template, roughly 3 days a month. Last audit they had a non-conformance because a batch record was missed in the retyping. Karen's real driver is audit risk, not time. Dev was more sceptical, asked whether our importer handles their older on-prem MES. Budget in the quality budget but she'd need to justify it. They want it before their February audit. Two other sites would follow if this works.
- What you agreed as next steps
- I check the on-prem MES compatibility and come back by Friday. If it works, a technical call with Dev and their IT person. Karen to send me their current BRC template.

What came back
Subject: Following up from today, plus the MES question Thanks to both of you for the time this afternoon, and for walking me through the current process in detail. A few things stood out. The retyping across three systems into the BRC template is eating roughly 3 days a month, more ahead of an audit, but Karen, it sounds like the bigger issue for you is the audit risk itself, especially after the non-conformance from the missed batch record last time. That's a different problem than just saving hours, and I want to make sure whatever we show you actually addresses that. Dev, I heard your question about whether our importer works with your older on-prem MES. Fair thing to check before going further, so I'm not going to guess at an answer. I'll look into it properly and get back to you by Friday with a straight yes or no. If it does work, the plan is a technical call with you, Dev, and your IT person to go through the details. Karen, if you can send over your current BRC template in the meantime, that would help me put together something that shows what the output would actually look like for Pennine, rather than a generic example. Given you're aiming to have this in place before the February audit, I want to keep things moving on my end too. I'll be in touch by Friday either way. In the meantime, if anything else comes to mind, just let me know. Best, [Your name]
When to use it
Use this straight after a sales or discovery call, while it is still in your head. It turns rough notes into a recap that confirms what you heard and what happens next, which is what stops a good call quietly evaporating. It is not for chasing someone who has gone quiet.
