View and understand the meeting summary

Sellers and their managers need an easy way to review the conversations they've had with their customers and quickly find relevant talking points, keywords, and insights.

The meeting summary page provides a high-level view of how the conversation with a customer went, and includes follow-up action items and relevant keywords, a timeline, a transcript of the call, and more.

Topics are scanned from the meeting transcript, and displayed along with other keywords. If a keyword with a category such as brand, people, or times was found, it is displayed under that category. Keywords that are also topics are indicated with the # symbol. Topics and their contents are not stored in Dataverse.

Call playback, timeline, and segmentation

The timeline displays the sentiments detected in the conversation: positive, neutral, or negative. You can drag the progress bar to a specific point on the timeline. The call transcript automatically scrolls to the point you select.

When you select a word on the Mentions tab, a diamond icon on the playback timeline indicates the point at which the word was mentioned. If you hover over a word on the Mentions tab, gray diamond icons on the timeline indicate all the points at which the word was mentioned.

The timeline also indicates the conversation segments, such as introduction, solution, price quote, and call close. Select a segment to view insights that are relevant to it.
