Voice to Text for Sales Managers
Your day is back-to-back calls, pipeline reviews, and team check-ins. The last thing you need is spending 30 minutes typing up notes after every meeting. Blurt lets you capture pipeline updates, forecast changes, and deal strategies the moment they happen. Hold a button, say what you need to document, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Salesforce, Slack, Gmail, anywhere. No typing. No forgotten context. Just talk and move on to your next call.
The Typing Problem
Pipeline review notes that never get documented
You just finished a 45-minute pipeline review with your team. There were key insights about stuck deals, coaching opportunities, and forecast risks. But now you have another call in 5 minutes. Those notes sit in your head, never making it into the CRM. By end of day, you've forgotten half of what was discussed. Leadership asks for the pipeline summary and you're reconstructing it from memory.
Team performance documentation falls behind
HR wants quarterly performance notes. Your reps need documented feedback for their development. You know exactly what to say about each team member — you could explain it in two minutes out loud. But typing detailed observations for eight direct reports takes an hour you don't have. So the documentation slips, and performance reviews become a scramble to remember six months of work.
Forecast updates that are always stale
The forecast needs updating after every customer call, but you're jumping between meetings all day. By the time you sit down to update Salesforce, you've had four more conversations and can't remember which deal moved to what stage. Your forecast is perpetually 48 hours behind reality. Leadership is making decisions on outdated numbers.
Deal strategy communications scattered everywhere
You need to brief your rep on the approach for the enterprise deal closing this quarter. There's context about the champion, the procurement process, the competitor threat. Typing it all in Slack takes 15 minutes. So you send a quick 'let's chat' instead. Another meeting added to the calendar. Another hour blocked for something that should take 2 minutes to communicate.
End-of-day exhaustion from constant typing
Calls. Emails. CRM updates. Slack messages. Team feedback. Forecast notes. By 6 PM, you've typed thousands of words and your brain is fried. The administrative load of being a sales manager has overtaken the actual managing. You're a documentation machine who occasionally coaches reps between typing sessions.

Real Scenarios
Capturing pipeline review notes in real-time
Your weekly pipeline review just ended. While the insights are fresh, hold your hotkey and speak: 'Acme deal stuck at legal review for three weeks. Need to escalate to their VP. Johnson account showing signs of going dark — schedule coaching session with Sarah on re-engagement strategy. Push Globex close date to Q2, procurement freeze confirmed.' Full notes captured in 30 seconds. Back to your next meeting with everything documented.
Documenting rep performance observations
You just watched a call recording where your rep handled an objection brilliantly. Before you forget, hold the button and speak into their performance doc: 'March 15 — Excellent handling of pricing objection on Techstart call. Used the value comparison framework effectively. Champion responded positively. This shows strong progress on consultative selling skills we discussed last month.' Performance documentation done in 15 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
Updating forecasts between meetings
You have 3 minutes before your next call. The deal you just discussed needs a forecast update. Hold your hotkey in Salesforce notes: 'Moved to verbal commit. Decision maker confirmed budget approval in yesterday's call. Legal review expected to complete by Friday. High confidence for March close.' Forecast accurate and updated in real-time, not reconstructed later from memory.
Sending deal strategy briefings via Slack
Your rep needs context on the competitive situation before tomorrow's call. Instead of scheduling another meeting, hold and speak in Slack: 'For the Initech call tomorrow — their current vendor is Competitor X, two year contract ending in April. Main pain points are implementation speed and support responsiveness. Lead with our 30-day deployment guarantee and dedicated CSM. Avoid pricing discussion until second call.' Complete strategy briefing sent in 20 seconds.
Writing weekly team updates for leadership
Friday afternoon, leadership wants the weekly summary. Instead of typing for 30 minutes, talk through it: 'Week 12 summary — closed three deals totaling $180K, 90% of weekly target. Pipeline added $450K in new opportunities. Two reps exceeded quota, one needs coaching on discovery calls. Key risk is the Megacorp deal slipping to Q2 if legal doesn't respond by Wednesday.' Executive summary done in 60 seconds.
Quick email follow-ups after customer calls
You just jumped off a call with a key account's VP. They need a summary email while it's fresh. Hold your hotkey in Gmail: 'Thank you for the call today. As discussed, we will send over the enterprise pricing by Thursday, arrange a technical deep-dive for your IT team next week, and connect you with our customer success lead for the implementation timeline. Let me know if you need anything else before your board meeting.' Professional follow-up sent in 30 seconds flat.
Recording coaching notes after ride-alongs
You just observed your rep's customer meeting. The feedback needs documenting before you forget the specifics. Hold and speak: 'Ride-along with Mike, March 15. Strengths — excellent rapport building, asked good discovery questions about their current workflow. Areas to improve — missed opportunity to quantify pain, jumped to demo too quickly. Action item — practice the cost of inaction framework before next enterprise call.' Coaching documentation complete while walking to your car.
