I think it goes without saying what kind of value this can provide, being able to refer back to what someone said on a call. As someone with a little bit of ADHD left in me, this app is GOLD... Also, you can bookmark and save word of mouth agreements over the phone should you ever need that information.
I negotiated for my mother, an interior designer, a 20 percent furniture commission for a multi-million dollar customer last year. I did it over the phone. I told her to go get a contract with them before she started the work... but she never got it in writing. They gave her 10 percent... I have zero proof of the 20, which we would have been able to hold them to if I recorded the conversation. I don’t even think they’re trying to screw anyone, over the last 6 months they just probably forgot I made them agree to double the commission.
Moral of the story: Cover your bases. Keep good records. Take good notes. Don’t let free money fly away... AND get agreements in writing.
I got a “Call Recorder” app from “appliquato” in the Google Play Store and it is exquisite. Further making @Vigilante correct about Android. It is 100 percent automatic and revolves your most recent 100 calls and allows you to save the ones you want forever and exempt certain people.
