Stop staring at blank follow-up emails after every meeting

You know that follow-up email needs to go out after your meeting, but writing it feels like another task on an already packed day. You have the key points, but turning scattered notes into a polished email takes longer than it should.

Most follow-up emails get pushed to tomorrow, then next week. Not because you don't want to send them, but because starting from a blank email while rushing between meetings is the last thing you want to do.

Turning meeting notes into ready-to-send emails

Instead of writing follow-up emails from scratch, you can turn your meeting notes into draft emails immediately. Send your notes to Quin along with who should receive the follow-up, and a polished email gets drafted based on what you discussed and what needs to happen next.

The email includes relevant meeting highlights, next steps, and maintains the appropriate tone for your relationship with the recipient. You review and send when ready, but the writing work gets handled automatically.

What this looks like in practice

Following up on a sales call:
Great call with Jennifer from TechStart about their Series A preparation. She's interested in our financial modeling services, timeline is 4-6 months, budget looks good. Needs to discuss with her co-founder but wants our proposal by Friday. Draft follow-up email confirming timeline and what we'll include in the proposal.

Result:
Email gets drafted to Jennifer confirming her interest in financial modeling, acknowledging the co-founder discussion, and outlining what the Friday proposal will cover with clear next steps. A task also gets created to prepare the proposal by Friday, and the meeting details get added to TechStart's CRM record.

Email draft:

Subject: Following up on Series A financial modeling discussion

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for taking the time to discuss TechStart's Series A preparation today. It was great to learn more about your timeline and funding goals.

As we discussed, our financial modeling services would include:

  • Three-year financial projections with scenario planning
  • Cap table modeling for various funding rounds
  • Investor presentation financial slides
  • Due diligence preparation support

I understand you'll need to discuss this with your co-founder, which makes perfect sense. I'll have our detailed proposal ready by Friday as requested, including pricing and timeline specifics for your 4-6 month window.

Feel free to reach out if any questions come up before then. Looking forward to potentially working with TechStart on this important milestone.

Best regards,

[Your name]

Why this works better than general email tools

Unlike generic writing tools, Quin has access to your CRM history, calendar context, and previous email patterns. It considers your actual writing style from recent emails you've sent and applies any guidelines you've set up for different types of communications.

Simply mention who should receive the follow-up in your meeting notes, and Quin finds their email address and drafts the message automatically. This context makes follow-up emails sound like you actually wrote them, not like they came from a generic tool.

You can also use voice notes to capture follow-up requirements while walking between meetings, and those get turned into email drafts just as effectively as written notes.

Turn your notes into immediate follow-up momentum. Try Quin free for 14 days.
