1. Automated Consistent Proposal Creation

The proposal and quoting process is one of the most important stages in the revenue cycle. Proposals are the customer’s first impression, so getting this process right the first time can lead to a great customer experience and a long-lasting relationship.

But, if you are stuck in the old ways of creating and sending proposals (think, filling in an off-brand template in Word, manually, and sending simply via email), then you could be delivering a bad first impression to your customers. Plus, the time it takes to create the proposal, using multiple different solutions, could be slowing down the sales cycle. What’s more, proposals could be riddled with errors which creates another slowdown in the process to account for reviews or rework.

The good news is that the proposal process does not have to slow down your revenue cycle or hurt your customer’s experience. With automation, the proposal process could be streamlined, efficient, accurately showcase your brand, and delight your customers.

Proposal management automation software is a technology-based platform or program that allows users to create, edit, manage, and send proposals in real-time. What’s great about proposal management software is it allows for proposals to be created, stored, and tracked all in one location—allowing for greater visibility and control during the proposal process.

• Automated data retrieval can improve proposal accuracy by reducing manual errors and speed up the process.
• Consistent brand experience – With an automated proposal management system, uploading and working in on-brand templates is simple and efficient. Customized fields allow you to pull in accurate data while staying consistent with your brand’s look and feel.

A great tool to check out for these features is Conga Collaborate and Composer which helps businesses simplify and automate their approach to the essential quotes, contracts, and documents that drive global commerce.

2. Sign Deals Quicker with E-Signatures

Once your proposal is created, it’s ready to be sent to the customer to sign so, your company can begin work. But, if you are stuck in the past with old-fashioned processes, sending the proposal and getting it signed, can slow down the revenue process.

More clients are expecting to use eSignatures to sign their digital documents. Paper proposals and ink signatures are becoming seen as outdated ways to capture signatures. Plus, not only is it slow for your business, but it’s tedious for customers, too. When choosing the right proposal management software for Salesforce, it’s important to look for solutions with eSignature capabilities so your proposals can easily be sent and signed, speeding up the revenue process.

Securely send your documents and capture customer signatures with ease using Conga Sign.

3. Take Online Payments

Once the deal is signed make sure you can take payments quickly and efficiently; don’t let disconnected financial processes slow down the sales process. Make the most of integrated payment solutions within your financial quote process so payments can be made after the e-signature where ever possible. To decide on the best financial solution make sure you ask the right questions during your discovery stage.
