Why higher education businesses use a proposal program instead of Microsoft Word
Many higher education still use Microsoft Word or some other word processor to create their proposals. A previously created template is modified manually and then sent as a PDF. Sounds easy, but in practice this takes a lot of time, the chance of errors is high and you no longer have insight into your proposal after sending.
With the use of a proposal program it has become a lot easier and better for entrepreneurs. You still use templates as a basis, but now you have a full content library in which you can search and reuse texts. The chance of errors is minimal due to smart automation. And after sending you can still adjust your proposal and you will get insight when your customer views the proposal. The modern interactive presentation options make an impression and the option to digitally sign makes it very easy for a customer to agree.

Why smart software is important for businesses in the higher education sector
Higher Education companies are responsible for providing the right information to students and their parents, so they can make an informed decision about what Higher Education programs to pursue. When you’re dealing with students and parents, making a good impression is crucial. One of the best ways to do this is by creating a sales document that is professional and impressive. You need a sales document that is easy to read and makes it clear what your company has to offer. The last thing you want is for your prospective students or parents to be confused or put off by your proposal.
"To clarify, it is important to state that the term "higher education" is used to describe post-secondary institutions that are not considered to be colleges or universities."
