How to Add Notes to Deals in HubSpot Fast

Why Deal Notes Matter

Notes create institutional memory:

• Context for handoffs - teammates know what happened
• Audit trail - track decision-making
• Coaching opportunities - managers review conversations
• Forecasting signals - sentiment affects probability

Yet 60% of important context never gets logged because it takes too long.

The Traditional HubSpot Way

To add a note to a deal:

1. Navigate to Deals
2. Find the deal
3. Open the record
4. Scroll to the Notes section
5. Click Add note
6. Type your note
7. Optionally @mention teammates
8. Click Save

After a busy call day, this feels like homework.

The Shabe Way

Just say what happened:

"Add a note to Acme deal: discussed pricing, waiting on legal"

Shabe finds the deal, logs the note, and timestamps it.

Query Examples

"Add a note to Acme: great call, moving to proposal stage"
"Log a note on BigCo deal: competitor is Salesforce, price sensitive"
"Note on TechCorp: champion is Sarah Chen, decision by EOQ"
"Add note to deal #12345: waiting on CFO approval"

Rich Context

Shabe understands context:

"Add a note to the deal: blocked on procurement"
→ Shabe: Which deal? (shows recent deals you've worked)

"The Acme one"
→ Note logged on Acme Inc deal

"Also create a task to follow up in 3 days"
→ Task created and linked to deal

After Logging

Shabe suggests related actions:

• "Create a follow-up task"
• "Schedule a meeting"
• "Update deal stage"
• "Send an email"
