The Challenge
Steve Hardy, Founder and CMO at Noroton Growth, faced significant challenges in managing and consolidating information for his sales team. With a small team and a high volume of meetings and research tasks, Steve needed a solution to streamline processes and reduce manual work, particularly in note-taking and CRM updates.
Before Bardeen, Steve spent a considerable amount of time transcribing notes from calls and manually updating CRM data from LinkedIn and other sources. This manual process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, impacting the overall productivity of the team.
Steve turned to Bardeen to automate the labor-intensive tasks of note-taking and meeting preparation. Bardeen’s powerful automation capabilities enabled Steve to:
- Consolidate Notes: Use Bardeen to abstract key takeaways from multiple meeting notes, saving hours of manual transcription.
