One of the challenges of managing sales is keeping on top of all the paperwork. With sales procedures, sales pipeline and CRM updates, creating action items and tracking who said what, managing sales is like running a small business within a larger business. 

A typical sale in B2B will go through six different stages, multiple meetings and calls, and can take several weeks. An average SaaS deal takes 83 days, according to a 2020 HubSpot report. That’s a lot of calls, meetings, and CRM notes! Heading into 2026, with AI assistants now standard in most sales stacks, the expectation is that this busywork should run itself. But taking notes and keeping track of every engagement is not something we want to do. Using the Laxis Chrome extension, we can automate this tedious process, leaving more time for sales development. 

I have been using Laxis for about three months now, and I have saved around two hours every week. That's not all; I have also improved my note-taking and CRM admin. If you have been wondering if Laxis Tech is for you and worth it, then this blog is for you.

My always-on personal assistant

My digital strategy consultancy business runs on Google Workspace technology. As such, Google Meet is my default meetings app. Any new sales meeting booked in my calendar will run through Google Meet.

This is where Laxis is so helpful. Using the Laxis Chrome extension, I never need to think about notetaking for a meeting as Laxis will automatically start working whenever I enter a Google Meet room.

As soon as someone starts talking and the closed-captions appear, I know that my meeting notes will contain everything I need.

Annotations and follow-up

Before using Laxis, I would always have a Microsoft Notepad open while on a sales call. While the prospect was talking, I was tapping away on my keyboard, trying to capture important information or action points to take away.

Now that I use Laxis, I use the tagging feature to flag information in real-time. Using the Laxis default tags of important, follow-up, and action, I can easily record highlights to reference after the call.

Adding notes to CRM

The task that frequently took the longest after a sales call was adding notes to my CRM. Using my hastily taken notes from Notepad, I’d have to sort them out into important information, adding detail where time didn’t allow on the call, then populate follow-up items and action points.

The whole process typically took me between five and ten minutes per call. When you include sending the follow-up emails and logging follow-up tasks, it could easily be 15 minutes of admin per call just on notetaking and recording follow-up items.

Using Laxis, I can copy and paste all of the highlighted items directly into my CRM, recording the action points directly into a new task. Rather than keeping extensive notes in the CRM, I add a link to the conversation in Laxis so that my CRM records maintain the essential information while Laxis logs the full meeting transcript.

It adds up to significant savings

Having monitored my record-keeping and timed myself recording sales notes with and without Laxis, I know I am making significant time savings. All in all, I estimate that I am saving up to two hours every week on note-taking, just from sales meetings. 

In 2026, with AI-assisted notetaking now an everyday part of how sales teams work, those reclaimed hours are no longer a nice-to-have — they are time I can reinvest directly into prospecting and closing. That represents a significant return on investment!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Laxis help reduce sales admin time?

Laxis automatically records and transcribes your sales calls, so you no longer have to type notes manually during a meeting. After the call you can copy highlighted action items and follow-ups straight into your CRM, which removes most of the repetitive admin that usually follows each conversation. For the author of this article, that adds up to roughly two hours saved every week.

Does Laxis work with Google Meet?

Yes. The Laxis Chrome extension integrates directly with Google Meet and starts capturing notes automatically as soon as you enter a meeting room. It also supports other major platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, so it fits into most sales workflows without manual setup.

Can I tag or highlight important moments during a call?

Yes. Laxis lets you flag key moments in real time using tags such as important, follow-up, and action. These highlights make it easy to find the exact points you need after the call, instead of scrolling through an entire transcript.

How do I get my meeting notes into my CRM?

After a call, you can copy the highlighted items and action points from Laxis and paste them directly into your CRM, then log follow-up tasks from there. Many users keep their CRM records concise by adding a link back to the full Laxis conversation, so the complete transcript stays accessible without cluttering the CRM entry.
