Tips for useful meeting notes
Share the agenda before the meeting so people come prepared. During the meeting, write decisions and actions rather than a transcript of who said what. Read the action items aloud at the end, then send the notes within the hour while everyone still remembers. Start the next meeting by checking last time’s action items.
Sales meetings
For a weekly pipeline meeting, note the numbers that matter: pipeline coverage, deals won and lost, and the conversion rate from one stage to the next. Work out the rate with the conversion rate calculator and share the notes with the team the same day.
Frequently asked questions
What should meeting notes include?
The meeting title, date and time, who attended and who was absent, the agenda, the main points of the discussion, the decisions taken and the action items, each with an owner and a due date. Add the date of the next meeting if there is one. Keep each point to one line so the notes can be read in a minute.
What is the difference between meeting notes and meeting minutes?
Meeting minutes are the formal record of a meeting, usually of a board or a committee, and are approved at the next meeting. Meeting notes are shorter and informal, written for the team to remember what was decided and who does what. This template works for both: add the motions and votes under decisions if you need formal minutes.
How do I write good action items?
Start each one with a verb, name one owner and give a due date, for example Send the revised forecast, Priya, 7 November. An action without an owner usually does not happen. Read the action items aloud at the end of the meeting so everyone agrees, and check them at the start of the next one.
How do I take notes in a client or sales meeting?
Choose Client meeting: the headings change to client needs and agreed next steps. Write down the problems and goals in the client’s own words, any numbers they mention such as budget, team size or deadlines, and the next step with a date. Send the notes to the client the same day to confirm what was agreed.
Can I save the notes as a PDF or paste them into Google Docs?
Yes. Print or save as PDF opens the print dialog of your browser: choose Save as PDF as the printer. Copy text puts plain text with headings and bullet points on the clipboard, ready to paste into Google Docs, Word, Notion, Slack or an email.
Is my information stored or sent anywhere?
No. The notes are built in your browser and the draft is saved only in this browser so you can come back to it. Nothing you type is sent to SalesBond or anyone else. Click Start over to clear it.
