Why sms businesses use a proposal tool instead of Microsoft Word

Many sms still use Microsoft Word or some other word processor to create their quotations. 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 quotation after sending.

With the use of a proposal tool 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 quotation 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.

The following blog will elaborate on how to make perfect quotations with the right tool: Read more why Microsoft Word is not the best way to create proposals

Discounts in proposals: to do or not to do?
“The proposal looks good, but I'm afraid the price is a bit above our budget. Can we have a little talk about that?” We all experience it and may have asked for a discount ourselves. A discount in proposals is often a discussion point. That's why we've listed the most important pros and cons for you. Just to think about, to keep them in the light when making a proposal or as a handy tool for negotiation.

A good sales call is worth gold
A good sales call is worth gold, that's not rocket science, we all know that. And yet we might underestimate these conversations. There are plenty of them that end up with disappointment.

In this blog, we'll take a closer look at this. Are you an ambitious entrepreneur or sales professional and want to improve your conversations and conversion? Read on and get inspired!

Make a Proposal? Know your customers' UBRs!
In the past, when writing a proposal, you could do with sales arguments that made the distinction between your company and the competition clear. But nowadays, not your company, but the customer is central. Reason enough to take a good look at your customer or prospect's sales motives and include them in your proposals.

Why smart software is important for businesses in the sms sector

When you are creating a SMS proposal, you want to make sure that it stands out. If your prospects can’t read your proposal or they aren’t impressed by the way it looks, they will most likely choose your competitors. A bad proposal document is like a bad first impression – you can never get it back. If you have the right software, creating a great quote or proposal will be much easier. It will also help you keep track of all the proposals that you’re generating. Good proposal software will also give you the chance to better present yourself to a prospect and impress them to win the deal.

SMS is an abbreviation for Short Message Service. SMS is a great way to communicate with a lot of people at the same time, since it allows for the transmission of short messages between mobile phones and other devices. Sending text messages has become one of the most popular ways to communicate with your customers. It is not just an alternative way to make contact; it also saves money for both parties, especially when you send out a mass message. You can save money because it costs only a few cents per message and your customers do not have to spend money on receiving your messages. If you choose to send out your messages by SMS, make sure that you ask your customers for their permission first. If you do not, they might see your messages as spam and never respond to you again. If you want to attract new customers and create a better relationship with your existing ones, sending text messages is a great idea.
