Sales Follow-Up
Turn recorded calls into follow-up emails, CRM notes, and next actions — using Meetings, Contexts, Recipes, and post-meeting automations.
Goal: Leave every sales call with a sent follow-up and logged next steps — without re-listening to the full recording.
Workflow Overview
Record or join call → Review summary → Recipe (email + CRM bullets) → Human send
↓
Save to Sales Context (optional) → Automate for next calls
Step 1 — Capture the Call
Open Meetings → + New Meeting:
| Method | When |
|---|---|
| Join (Zoom/Teams/Meet URL) | Scheduled external calls |
| Record | Internal or ad-hoc conversations |
| Upload | Recordings from another tool |
Wait for processing to complete. Open the Summary tab and edit action items while memory is fresh — fix names, deal stage, and committed dates.
Step 2 — Chat With the Meeting
Click Chat with Meeting and prompt:
Draft a follow-up email to the prospect confirming what we agreed,
listing action items with owners, and proposing a concrete next meeting time.
Tone: professional but warm. Do not invent pricing we didn't discuss.
Copy the draft into your CRM or email client after review.
Step 3 — Save to Context (Recommended)
For recurring sales motion, archive calls in a Context:
- Save to Context on the meeting page.
- Choose Sales Calls or an account-specific Context (e.g. Acme Corp — Deal).
- Future Chat and Recipes can reference past conversations: "What did we promise Acme about implementation timeline?"
Keep Contexts focused — one per account or one shared Sales Calls Context, not thousands of micro-Contexts.
Step 4 — Build a Follow-Up Recipe
Create a Recipe with variables:
| Variable | Example |
|---|---|
customer_name | Acme Corp |
deal_stage | Discovery / Demo / Negotiation |
call_notes | Paste summary or key bullets |
tone | Professional / Casual / Urgent |
next_step | Pilot timeline, pricing review, etc. |
Prompt template:
You are an account executive. Using {{call_notes}} and attached Sales Enablement Context,
write a follow-up email to {{customer_name}} (stage: {{deal_stage}}).
Tone: {{tone}}
Include: thank-you, recap of their goals, mutual action items, clear next step ({{next_step}}),
and a single call-to-action. Keep under 250 words.
Also output 3 CRM note bullets I can paste into HubSpot/Salesforce.
Attach Sales Enablement Context (battlecards, pricing one-pagers, case studies).
Step 5 — Automate Post-Meeting (Pro/Max)
On Automations, create a post-meeting rule:
- Trigger: meeting completed
- Optional filter: platform, title contains "discovery", or smart match
- Action: run your Follow-Up Recipe
- Map meeting summary and action items to Recipe variables
- Optional delay: 30–60 minutes so you review before sending
First runs should stay draft-only — automation fills the Recipe form; you still send manually until quality is proven.
Step 6 — Agent Handoffs (Optional)
Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, or your CRM via Tools Marketplace.
Example Agent prompts (Chat, Agent mode):
- "Create a calendar hold next Tuesday 2pm titled 'Acme — pilot check-in'."
- "Draft follow-up in Gmail to jane@acme.com — do not send until I confirm."
Use Agent Recipes when the same handoff repeats every call.
Plan Mode for Complex Deals
For strategic accounts, use Plan Mode (Pro/Max):
"Research Acme Corp recent news, summarize our last two meetings from @Sales-Calls, draft follow-up email, and list 3 discovery questions for the next call."
Edit the generated plan before execution — remove research steps you already have.
Example Day for an AE
| Time | Action |
|---|---|
| 9:00 | Discovery call — Join via Meetings |
| 9:45 | Edit summary action items |
| 9:50 | Chat with Meeting → draft email |
| 10:00 | Run Follow-Up Recipe for polish + CRM bullets |
| 10:10 | Send email; paste CRM notes |
| 10:15 | Save to Context → Acme Corp |
After automation is trusted, steps 9:50–10:00 shrink to a quick review.
