Taking notes in a meeting is something we can’t avoid, right? 

And for you, sales folks to painstakingly take notes and create a task on your CRM with the meeting data every day can be quite understandably monotonous and time-consuming. A time you would prefer doing something pr Freshworks adds Freshworks instead. 

And that is just one side of the story. A human’s short-term memory is just about 30 seconds, we all forget something. Many times so many crucial sales meeting insights get missed out, sales leaders can’t view all calls at scale. Or can they?

All of us are aware of Freshworks CRM and for those of you who are not:

“Freshworks is the leading cloud-based CRM. It provides a full suite of tools to manage & engage with customers.”

Freshworks can be integrated with a variety of services, including PayPal, QuickBooks, Salesforce, Instagram, Zapier, and many others. 

“Convin is a sales intelligence tool that helps businesses improve their sales funnel and increase revenue and sales.

It not only takes notes for you in the meeting but also analyses the conversation for conversational insights. And it also adds and creates the task for you on your CRM.

And the good news is: It integrates with Freshworks.

So, what does it mean for you as a business owner?

A business owner can align their entire team goals from their CRM only. And help their sales leaders by simplifying and automating the process of closely looking at deal cycles and providing feedback. But the good news does not end here.

Let’s find out more about Freshworks and Convin to what else it unlocks for you salespeople.

Freshworks

As we know, Freshworks is an AI-based customer relationship management (CRM) software that helps salespeople to manage the entire sales and service process. The CRM offers tools to manage contacts, tasks, and calendars. It provides customer support and oversees projects and campaigns. 

Salespeople can manage and track the deal’s progress by saving the data. These are the following data stored in the Freshworks CRM that helps the entire sales team in tracking the deal:

  • Lead: A lead is a contact that can be a potential customer, it can be either inbound or outbound.
  • Contact: It contains details of a particular customer such as email, phone, position in the company, address, etc.
  • Account: Company or Organization- Name of company, sector, and its contacts.
  • Opportunity: Upsell and Cross-sell Opportunities. An account can have multiple opportunities.
  • Task: Notes or any other kind of actionable information.

Convin, the missing part in Freshworks

Still, the salespeople have to spend countless hours taking notes, listening to calls with the help of extensions. Sales leaders have to spend hours listening to calls to review their entire team. But with Convin this can be changed easily.

Convin can record, transcribe, and send the insight copy of the meeting directly into the inbox of the entire team. And add them as notes on Freshwork’s Task.

Amazing right?

Sales agents don’t have to spend endless hours creating and adding the tasks in the Freshworks CRM. And the pointers you may miss out in reporting manually, Convin won’t! 

Convin seamlessly integrates with Freshworks and your Dialer or Video Conferencing platforms. Sellers don't have to undergo a separate training session to understand its working. And can be onboarded in less than 1 hour It also currently integrates with these CRMs other than Freshworks.
