Turn a call transcript into structured CRM notes, not a wall of text
Convert raw call notes or a transcript into the specific fields your CRM opportunity record actually uses, so the next person who opens the deal doesn't have to re-read the whole call.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
Here are my raw notes/transcript from a call with Tomas Reyes at Halifax Freight Systems: Tomas said their current dispatch process takes 3 hours a day of manual work, mentioned they're also looking at a competitor, said he'd need to check with his boss on budget, no firm next date set Convert this into structured CRM notes using these exact fields, in this order — leave a field explicitly marked "not discussed" rather than guessing or leaving it blank: - CALL SUMMARY (2-3 sentences, what actually happened) - PAIN/USE CASE (their stated problem, in their words where possible) - METRICS (any number, quota, or measurable outcome they mentioned) - ECONOMIC BUYER (named person, or "not yet identified") - DECISION CRITERIA (what they said they'll evaluate against) - DECISION PROCESS/TIMELINE (steps and dates, or "not discussed") - COMPETITION (named alternatives, or "none mentioned") - RISKS/OPEN QUESTIONS (anything unresolved or concerning) - NEXT STEP (the specific committed action and date — not "will follow up") Rules: don't infer a field from vague language if it wasn't actually said — mark it "not discussed" instead of a confident-sounding guess. Keep each field to 1-2 lines. Flag if NEXT STEP wasn't actually confirmed on the call rather than writing one that sounds resolved.

Why this works
The fixed field list mirrors the actual opportunity-record structure most CRMs use, and maps directly onto MEDDIC fields many sales orgs already require, so the output can be pasted straight into the record instead of translated by hand first. The "not discussed" instruction is the load-bearing rule: AI-generated call summaries left unconstrained tend to smooth over gaps by inferring a plausible-sounding answer, which quietly corrupts CRM data — a fabricated Economic Buyer field is worse than an honestly empty one, because the next rep who opens the deal has no reason to double-check it. Flagging an unconfirmed next step rather than writing a tidy one directly targets pipeline hygiene, since vague next steps are one of the most common reasons deals stall without anyone noticing.
What you get back
ECONOMIC BUYER: not yet identified — Tomas said he'd "check with his boss," name not given. NEXT STEP: not confirmed — no date was set on the call; flag for follow-up to lock one in before this deal ages further.
