How VP of Sales Günter Sandmann Got Rid of 7 Note-Takers in One Call

“We had seven note takers in the call… the client really drove crazy. He said, ‘What’s that?’”

The moment that made Günter realize he needed help came during a very messy call with many sellers and clients. He remembers a time when there were AI note takers than actual people in a meeting.

This really messed up the whole meeting experience. Instead of focusing on talking to each other, there were just 7 awkward bots sitting in an online meeting.

The clients were clearly upset and confused by this.

It was hurting the relationship with his clients. Günter, in that moment knew in his gut, that there had to be a better way to take meeting notes.

‍

“What you feel, what you say and what you really say… that makes a difference.”

This wasn't just about having better tech, it was about how humans talk to each other.

Salespeople often think they asked good questions or explained things clearly. But when Günter looked at what was actually said in these meetings, what really happened was very different. The way people talked in meetings was often not clear, too vague, or just not complete.

Without a good way to check what was truly said during the meetings, coaching was purely based on guesses, not real facts.

This gap between what people meant to say and what they actually said was making his sales performance so much worse. It did not make sense to either Günter or the clients. He wasn't really pitching a personalized pitch due to a lack of information from prior meetings.

‍

“My writing starts, yeah, it just sucks.”

Taking notes was another big challenge for Günter. He was very open with us during our interview. He shared that in long meetings, he often couldn’t even read his own notes afterward.

And honestly, he’s not alone.

This is something half the world struggles with.

Keeping up with note-taking in a long meeting is hard. After the first few lines, handwriting turns messy, rushed, and by the end, it's almost impossible to make sense of. We all hope that somehow, later on, we’ll remember what we meant. But future us? We're just as lost.

Sometimes, we’ve even misplaced the paper the notes were on.

Trying to focus on writing or typing pulls us away from actually being there. Günter found himself only half-listening, and the person speaking could tell. That bugged him. It made the whole conversation feel less real, less connected for everyone in the room.

‍

“There was one conversation where I shared the notes, and he said, ‘How did you do this? This is absolutely awesome.’”

We found that sharing notes after meetings became one of Günter's favourite things about work.

Because he uses Jamie to make well-organized summaries, with all tasks and decisions clearly written down, he can immediately send neat meeting recaps to clients and team members.

He told us about this amazing moment when a client was so happy with the notes that they called it "complete magic."

This kind of neatness and clarity helps build trust and makes follow-ups happen faster — two very important things when you're trying to make big sales.

‍

“I use Jamie either offline or online… this is a big step forward in the quality and in the time-savings.”

Günter doesn't just use Jamie for video calls, he even uses it when he meets people face-to-face too. Jamie can record sound right on his device and turn it into text without the internet, which means no bots, and it follows all the privacy rules.

For him, this meant that Jamie worked in every situation;

• In meeting rooms,
• Quick side talks,
• Even when visiting clients at their offices.

"You don't need to set up bots, and people don't get distracted. That's important for us."

This ability to use Jamie anywhere was a huge help, making it his go-to tool for every important meeting.

‍

“You have 100% captured all information and have a complete notepad.”

One of Günter's biggest problems was making sure he wrote down every important detail in sales meetings without making the meeting feel awkward by sending out invasive bots.

Before he found Jamie, this often meant many people in the same call all had AI note takers, bots in the meetings.

Sometimes, there are more AI note-taker bots than actual clients. He told us about a time when seven different AI note-takers were in one call.

Günter said this made "the client really drove crazy."

With Jamie, all that mess went away.

Jamie is a bot-free AI note taker that analyzes the audio from both the speaker and microphone from your device and transcribes any meeting that takes place, whether online or in-person, without the internet.

Jamie gave him a full, correct record of every meeting. No missed questions to follow up on, no fuzzy memories, and no mix-ups between what was meant and what was said.

"You spend 100% [of your time] concentrated on the conversation... That's a big difference."

‍

“I feel I’m a much better partner in the conversation.”

We saw how our tool helped Günter become a different kind of speaker. He wasn't trying to jot notes down, rushing the meeting - he was more human in his meetings.

He could pay better attention and really listen because he didn't need to worry about writing things down while talking.

He knew Jamie had his back.

This big change in how he felt made others see him as more "there" during meetings.

‍

“It gives me a much better quality, and all people using it, they really enjoy it.”

Our tool didn't just help Günter alone; it made a huge difference for his whole team, too.

When they used it in sales meetings and other important meetings, everyone's focus and "just being present" got better.

What started as just a way to save time turned into something that changed how the whole team worked together.

The team started to pay attention, focus, be better listeners, and most importantly make the attendees "feel heard".

‍

“Jamie really saved me three to four hours.”

Before Jamie, Günter's back-to-back meetings meant either sacrificing quality or spending countless hours taking and organizing notes. Jamie’s automatic transcription and intelligent summaries allowed him to skip manual note-taking completely. Tasks and decisions were already captured and structured by Jamie, saving him 4–6 hours every week—“almost a day” of productivity reclaimed.

Better Meetings, Bigger Impact

Günter's story shows us that the right tool can totally change everything, not just how meetings get written down but the whole way people participate in them.

Günter went from having these crazy messy, all-over-the-place calls to these super peaceful, easy meetings with Jamie.

He got back like six hours every week (that's practically a whole workday!), gave better follow-ups, and actually became present during conversations instead of frantically scribbling notes.

He said he even noticed his team started working together way better, too. The clients were happier with everything, and his coaching actually improved because he wasn't distracted by note-taking bots anymore.

He really loved how Jamie catches every single detail for him, puts it all in order (no more jumbled mess!), and then shares all the meeting notes with everyone who needs them.

I totally get that whether you're talking to customers, leading teams, or working with clients, you need to focus on the people you're talking to, not on trying to write everything down. Jamie helps you give all your attention to what actually matters - the humans on the other end of the conversation.

Are you ready to stop being pulled in different directions and make your meetings actually productive?
