SUMMARIZING
NOTE-TAKING STRATEGIES
PDF PAGE 08

* Don't write down everything you read or hear. Be alert and attentive to the main points.
Concentrate on the "meat" of the subject and forget the trimmings.
* Notes should consist of key words or very short sentences.
* Take accurate notes. You should use your own words, but try not to change the meaning.
* Don't take notes just to be taking notes! Take notes that will be of real value to you once
the customer has finished talking.
* Have a uniform system for punctuation and abbreviation that makes sense.
* Omit descriptions and full explanations. Keep your notes short and to the point.
* Condense your materials so you can grasp the main points rapidly.
* Keep your notes in order.
