Meeting and Sales Call Notes

Taking notes during sales meetings is simple. In Aptien CRM, you can log all your sales activities as brief notes, which you'll find linked to the specific deal or opportunity, as well as visible to all meeting participants. Each note is automatically connected to the deal and its participants, and you can also view it in the calendar. This makes it easy to locate. You don’t have to worry about where to save it—the system handles it for you.

What types of sales activities can you log?

  • In-person meeting
  • Phone call during the meeting
  • Sent email
  • Online meeting
  • Any other type of sales activity
