Why entrepreneurs use the proposal software instead of Microsoft Word
Many entrepreneurs 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 the proposal software 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.
The following blog will elaborate on how to make a perfect proposal with the right tool: Read more why Microsoft Word is not the best way to create proposals

How great would it be if you knew the ideal proposal structure? That you always had a blueprint that you only had to adapt to the customer with each request. A blueprint with the right structure that puts the customer in the right mood doubles the chance of an agreement. The following must-knows guarantee an ideal, successful construction. Take advantage of it and create your own proposal blueprint!
Most proposals focus on the best product or the most suitable service. That is fine and often very successful, especially if you highlight all the benefits and your proposal looks tip-top. And yet it can be even better. How? By giving a prospect or customer different options. Find out how to do this and increase the conversion rate of your proposals (and your turnover!).
Timing is everything, also when making business proposals and following them up. If you are too fast, you may seem too eager. If you are late, this can be interpreted as disinterest. And then the follow-up: when do you call a (potential) customer to ask what he thinks of your proposal? Dilemmas, tips, how-tos - you can read everything there is to know in this blog. In just a few minutes you are fully aware of all options and you know what works and what doesn't!

For a training agency, providing customisation is one of the most important aspects. The client must recognise himself in the quotation content.
