Workflow
Quoting & Proposals
Turning interest into a signed yes at the speed of enthusiasm.
Where the time goes
Interest cools fast. Every day a quote or proposal sits in a drafts folder - or waits on a signature - is a day the buyer's enthusiasm fades and a competitor catches up.
What this covers
Proposals, quotes, and e-signatures - the documents that move a warm buyer to a signed contract, and the tracking that tells you when they've opened, read, and are ready to sign.
What good looks like
- Proposals and quotes out the same day, not the same week
- E-signatures that close the gap between yes and signed
- Templates so every deal doesn't start from a blank page
