Voice to Text for Close CRM
Close is built for speed. Your sales workflow should be too. But every call needs notes. Every lead needs context. Every opportunity needs updates that tell the story. While you're typing up one call summary, your next prospect is already waiting. Blurt lets you document everything at the speed of speech. Hold a button, speak your notes, release. Your words appear instantly in any Close text field — call notes, lead descriptions, opportunity notes, email drafts. No copying, no pasting, no slowing down between calls. Just talk and move to your next dial.
The Typing Problem
Call notes become shortcuts instead of selling tools
You just finished a call where the prospect revealed their real timeline, their budget constraints, and exactly why they're frustrated with their current solution. This is gold. But you have 90 seconds before your next scheduled call. You type 'Good call, interested, following up Tuesday' and dial the next number. A week later, you're prepping for that follow-up and can't remember what made this prospect different from the 20 others you talked to. The call note that should guide your close is just a placeholder.
Lead descriptions stay empty until it's too late
Close gives you a lead description field for a reason. Context about the company, the opportunity, the competitive landscape. But filling it out means typing paragraphs between calls. So leads stay undocumented until you're handing them off to a colleague or your manager asks why a deal stalled. Then you're reconstructing weeks of conversations from memory, missing the details that would have made the handoff seamless.
Opportunity notes lack the context that closes deals
Every opportunity in Close should tell a story. What's the pain? Who's the decision maker? What objections have you overcome? But typing out that narrative takes time you don't have. Your opportunity notes become bullet points instead of playbooks. When a deal goes cold for two weeks and you need to re-engage, you're starting from scratch instead of picking up where you left off with full context.
Email drafts take longer to write than the calls they reference
You need to send a follow-up email while the call is fresh. You know exactly what you want to say — you just spent 20 minutes discussing it. But typing transforms your natural flow into a slow hunt-and-peck exercise. What should take 60 seconds becomes 5 minutes. By the time you've crafted the perfect email, you've lost momentum that could have gone to your next prospect. Your send rate suffers because writing feels like work.
Activity logs become checkboxes instead of insights
Close tracks every call, email, and SMS. But the value is in the notes attached to those activities. When you're making 50 calls a day, documenting each one properly feels impossible. So activities get logged with minimal context — 'Left voicemail' or 'Sent proposal' — and your activity history becomes a log of what happened without any insight into what it means. Your future self, your manager, and anyone who inherits the lead will wonder what actually went down.

Real Scenarios
Capturing call notes between dials
You just hung up from a discovery call that went exactly where you wanted. Before your power dialer moves to the next number, you click into the call note field, hold your hotkey, and speak: 'Excellent discovery call. Prospect is the VP of Sales at a 50-person SaaS company. Currently using spreadsheets to track their pipeline, losing deals because reps forget to follow up. Budget approved for Q1, needs to show ROI to the CEO within 90 days. Mentioned a competitor demo next week but said our calling features are what they really need. Sending proposal today, scheduling demo with the CEO for Friday.' Forty-five seconds of speaking, complete context captured. You're dialing the next prospect before competitors even know you exist.
Building lead descriptions that win deals
A new lead just came in from a webinar signup. Before reaching out, you research the company and want to capture what you learned. Hold your hotkey and speak: 'Mid-market manufacturing company, 200 employees, based in Chicago. Just raised Series B funding last quarter. Current CRM is legacy on-premise system they've outgrown. Key pain point is lack of mobile access for field sales team. Decision maker is likely the VP of Sales who attended our webinar on remote selling. Competitor intelligence shows they evaluated HubSpot last year but found it too complex.' Your lead description is now a battle plan, not a blank field.
Updating opportunity notes after every touchpoint
You just moved an opportunity from Demo to Proposal stage. Click into the opportunity notes, hold your hotkey, and speak: 'Moving to proposal after successful demo with the full buying committee. CFO is focused on ROI and asked for a business case — sending template tomorrow. VP of Sales is the champion and will present internally next week. IT had concerns about integration with their existing phone system — confirmed we support their provider and sent documentation. Proposal includes 10 seats with option to expand to 25 at same rate. Expected close by end of month, contingent on legal review.' Your opportunity tells the whole story.
Drafting follow-up emails at the speed of thought
You need to send a follow-up email immediately after a call. Open Close's email composer, hold your hotkey, and speak: 'Hi Michael, thanks for the great conversation today. As promised, I'm attaching the case study from the logistics company we discussed — their situation sounds very similar to yours and they saw a 40% increase in connect rates within the first month. I've also included the pricing proposal we walked through. Looking forward to your feedback, and I'm happy to jump on another call if any questions come up as you review with your team.' The email writes itself. Review, send, move on.
Logging activities with meaningful context
You've just completed a sequence of calls. Each one needs documentation. For each activity, hold the button and speak: 'Connected with gatekeeper, learned the decision maker is on vacation until next Monday. Set callback for Tuesday morning.' Next activity: 'Left voicemail referencing the pain point from the webinar. Will follow up with email in 2 hours if no callback.' Next: 'Had brief conversation, prospect is in the middle of a contract with competitor. Asked me to call back in March when renewal comes up. Setting reminder for February 15th to re-engage.' Your activity log becomes a useful history, not just a call count.
Prepping lead handoffs with complete context
You're transitioning a lead to a colleague who's taking over your territory. Instead of scheduling a 30-minute debrief, hold your hotkey and document everything: 'Handing off to Sarah. This is a warm opportunity — I've had three calls with the VP of Operations who is ready to buy but needs approval from the CEO. CEO is skeptical of new software after a bad implementation last year. Key selling points are our onboarding guarantee and the mobile app. Budget is approved up to 15K annually. Main competitor is their current process — they've never used a sales CRM before. Next step is a demo with both the VP and CEO scheduled for next Thursday at 2pm.' Sarah walks into the deal fully briefed.
Documenting lost deals for future wins
A deal just closed-lost and you need to capture what happened. Hold your hotkey and speak: 'Lost to competitor on price. Prospect went with the cheaper option despite agreeing our feature set was better. Their budget got cut mid-evaluation from 20K to 10K, putting us out of range. However, the VP of Sales said he wants to revisit when they renew next year — he wasn't happy settling for less. Setting reminder for September to re-engage. Key lesson: should have anchored on ROI earlier to justify the price difference.' Lost deal documentation that makes your next similar deal winnable.
Close is built for speed. Power dialer, SMS sequences, email automation — everything is designed to minimize time between prospect interactions. But documentation is still manual. Every call note, every lead description, every opportunity update requires typing. Blurt removes that bottleneck. One hotkey turns speech into text instantly, anywhere in Close. You document at the speed you talk, not the speed you type. The workflow that makes Close powerful becomes even faster.
