Stop letting voice memos pile up in your phone

You already record voice notes after meetings. The problem is what happens next—those recordings sit in your phone while your CRM stays empty and follow-ups accumulate.

Most voice memos capture good information in the moment, then become another item on your to-do list. By the time you find time to deal with them, you're three meetings ahead and the details feel less important.

Voice notes that actually update your systems

Instead of creating more work for later, voice notes can handle the administrative tasks immediately. When you send a voice note to Quin, it gets transcribed and turned into the actual work that needs to happen.

Contact details mentioned in your recording get extracted and updated in the right records. New business opportunities get identified and added to your pipeline. Follow-up commitments become tasks with due dates. Meeting details get formatted and attached to client records.

The transcription happens while you're moving to your next appointment. No waiting, no additional steps.

What this looks like in practice

After meeting with a potential client:

Just finished with Jennifer Martinez from TechStart. They're looking for help with their Series A preparation, timeline is 6 months. Her new email is jennifer@company.com. Need to send our pitch deck by Thursday and schedule a follow-up for next week.

Result:

Jennifer's contact gets created with the new email, an opportunity gets added for Series A work with timeline notes, you get a task created to send the pitch deck by Thursday, and a follow-up meeting gets scheduled.

Walking between client meetings:

Call with the Hendersons went well. They want to move forward with the estate planning. David Henderson's middle initial is actually R, not S like we had in the system. Sarah mentioned her mother is moving to assisted living next month. Schedule follow-up after they talk to their accountant.

Result:

David's record gets corrected, notes about Sarah's mother get added to their file for context, and a follow-up gets scheduled with appropriate timing.

During your commute:

Need to follow up with Marcus about the contract revisions. His assistant mentioned the legal team wants changes to section 4. Also, call Rachel at Innovate Corp about their Q2 planning session. She said they're interested but wants to discuss budget first.

Result:

Task created to follow up with Marcus about section 4 revisions, and another task to call Rachel about Q2 planning and budget discussion. Follow-up emails get drafted for both conversations to confirm the next steps.

Why transcription alone doesn't solve this

Basic transcription gives you text versions of your recordings. You still need to read through them, figure out what requires action, and manually update your systems. It's documentation, not workflow automation.

Other tools might transcribe meetings and create summaries, but they don't connect that information to your business systems or create the follow-up work automatically. You get better notes, but the same administrative overhead.

Voice notes with Quin bridge the gap between capturing information and getting it into your systems as the right tasks and updates.

Making this part of your routine

Send voice notes immediately after conversations, while details are fresh. Include specific names, companies, and deadlines when you mention them. The more context you provide, the more accurately Quin can route information and create appropriate actions.

For meetings with multiple outcomes, record separate notes throughout the day rather than one long summary. This makes processing more accurate and ensures nothing gets buried in a lengthy recording.

Voice notes work through text messaging, email, or directly in the app. Most people find texting fastest for quick updates between appointments.

You can set up guidelines with Quin for your specific workflows. If you want certain types of follow-ups always assigned to particular team members, or prefer specific formatting for meeting notes, these preferences get applied automatically to future voice notes.

This works best when it replaces the voice memos you're already recording, not as an additional step. Capture the same information you normally would—it just gets processed automatically instead of sitting in your phone.
