Winning Proposals in Under 30 Minutes

Use Discovery Driven Proposals

The qualification and discovery stages are more than just check boxes in the pre-sales process. If these steps are not done correctly, costly complications may occur in scoping the project and implementation. The lack of a discovery-driven proposal process results in a solution that ultimately falls short of what the customer requires, and a proposal that does not address the customer’s needs and fails to win the deal.

Watch to learn how using a discovery-driven proposal process:

We also introduce our brand-new Dynamic Content Creator functionality that enables you to use discovery question responses to compress and ALL-AT-ONCE AUTOMATE several steps in the pre-sales process, including product configuration, labor configuration, proposal content creation – including a customer-specific executive summary – and statement of work content formulation.
