Note key points, commitments, and concerns. Time how long it takes. Now copy the thread to ChatGPT and ask for a summary with those same elements. Compare quality and time. Refine prompt template. Once reliable, automate the fetch and summarize workflow.<\/p>\n<h3>Level-up version<\/h3>\n<p>Automatic summarization on opportunity stage change. Include sentiment analysis (customer enthusiasm level). Flag unaddressed concerns or unanswered questions. Extract pricing discussed and compare to proposal. Identify decision-makers mentioned.
